And when there ie a real difference in the time of the ripening of the various grains, the labor of harvesl- ing may be further increased in conse- quence. At thVOntario experiment nation vari- ous, mixture* of wheat, barley, oat* and pea* were sown in the years 1891 and 1893. Sometime* but two of the kind* were sown in combination, in some instances three of them, and in other* the four kind* were mixed and sown. In the experiment* thu conducted the yield of *traw w invaria- bly increased, and in nearly all instance* the yield of the grain also. In th* experi- ment* of 1893 the greatest yield of grain was obtained from t Mixture of barley and oat*, the second greatest from a mixture of barley, oat* and wheat, and the third from a mixture of barley, oats and peas. The increase in ths yield of oats and barley sown together wa* in the neighborhood of 33 per cent. In prairie countrie* wheat and oats sown together make a favorite combination The oats it is claimed grow tall enough to furnish tome ihade for the wheat at a critical time, that is, when it is filling, hence the combined crop yield* much better ordinarily than when these grain* are grown singly. And the same will probably prove true of peas and oats when they come to be more extensively grown in the sec- tions named. The oats will furnish shade for the peas at a critical period. Ordinarily, however, no combination will prove more satisfactory than pea* and oats grown together, if we consider the yields, the suitability of th* crop for feeding, and , the variou* way* in which it may he fed. It ha* been found that I . bushels of pea* and 1 bushel of oats per acre give good re- sults in many localities, bul these results vary much with variation* in th* Masons. These grains, when mixe.l, may be so* a together with the ordinary grain drill. The mixed crop thu* secured make* an excellent soiling crop and produces a large amount of food per acre. If the crop is cut when the grain i* in the milk stage and then cured, it makes an excellent winter food for many kind* of live stock, and may be fed either in the cut or uncut s'ate. Where the crop i* allowed to get a little more ma- ture, it may be threshed if desired, and the gnin ground, but it is coming to be con- sidered preferable to cut when the gtain ie in the dough *tale, and to feed without threshing. The cost of threshing is then saved, and the livestock conaums theitraw along with the grain. The chief objection is found in the harvesting, which may be attendsd'with some difficulty when the pea* grow with more than ordinary vigor. When a suitable food ration may thus be grown for live stock, and when it may be fed to them without the additional cost of threshing and grinding the grain, and when the < insumptiou virtually of th* whole of the straw can b* secured at the same lime, it i* certainly worth while to give the pro- cess the moil careful consideration. The greal obstacle to successful farming to-duy is the scarcity and dearne** of labor, hence anything that will help us to overcoats this difficulty should not go unheeded. increase at this season of the year could i " tn r scarcely be looked for.

(Especially in Ontario i* thin true. The tremendous proportions of the dairy induitry in this province arc well nigh startling. In ten yean the quantity of cheese made in Ontario increased from 53,- 500.001) pounds in 1883 to 93,800,000 in 1892, and Its value grew from $5,500,000 to 98,900,000. Our exports of cheese have gone up from 00,300,000 pound* in iss-j to IXl.mXMKNJ pouodi in 1H8S, and as ths market for the surplus in Ureat Britain it unbounded, progret* will continue to be recorded. By turning out the finished product the farmer stands to gain. Instead of exporting wheat, coarse grain* and hay, he is wise in turning hii attention to cheese, butler, pork and beef. This it all maim featuring of a high order, and there are no farmera better qualified by thrift, ikill and perseverance to achieve auooeu than Cana- dian* who have already in ohee*e beaten their great rivals, the Unite') Sutes.out of sight. While thu* cultivating the ouui-ie market, the farmer will do well to keep a firm grasp upon his own home market.

When grain i* grown for the market it should be grown separately and not in mixtures,as it is practiced in some quarters w'.isre considerable alien tiou i* being given to the growing of food for live stock. It ha* been noticed by the individual fanner that when grain i* grown in mixtures, it usually gives a good return in straw and also in gram* And now that the experi- ment stations are taking up thi* question, the result* which they have obtained thu* ar point in the same direction. Much ii yet to b* learned with reference to the moet luitable combination*, and also the amount* of seed to tow of each variety, n the mixture, end also of ths mixture after t hi! been made. It ii more than probable that the combination* which give the beet results in on* country would not always do so in another country where the condition* are different , and it is also probable that the amount* of eeed used of the same mix- tures would vary with varying condition*, In those combination* it hi* been noticed that some kindi of grain do much better thin others. Thi* may be owing to simi- larity in the habits of growth of the differ- ent grains used, or to the lack of this. But the whole question is so nsw, so far as teat- ing at the stations ia concerned, that when writing upon the subject we require to use th* utmost caution. In deciding upon the mixtures that should be eown together, we require to consider, first the character of our toil and climate; teoond, the use to be made of the food when grown; and thin., the labor of harvesting. Many other thing* must b* taken into the aooount, as the relative amounts of seed to use, also the absolute amounts, and the manner of sowing, but jnly the three first mentioned will be considered. Some soils ar* naturally well adapted to the growing ot barley but lee* to to the growing of wheat. In these the barley should bs given the lead in the mixture; that is to say, more; relatively, of barley should be sown than of the wheat. In other states the climate is more favorable to growing oats than peas Oats then should be more prominent in Ihe mixture. But the use to be made of the food it even more important. When grains are thus grown together they will also be fed to- gether, hence it is important that ths mixture when grown will furnish a suitable ration for the stock to which it is to bs fed. Peas and oats, for instance, make a more suitable ration for feeding under average conditions than pea* and barley hence the former a* a rule would furnish a more suitable combination to sow than th* latter. The same will hold true of oate, and wheat a* compared with barley and wheat. The labor cf harvesting should be taken Into the account before the gr in is sown. Suppose we tow oats and peait together. The proportion of peae sown may be easily mad* to large that we will not be able to cut the crop with the binder. On the other TO SUSPEND SEALING. The Ceverasseal er Ike raited Stale* Want* ih. leal Fisheries Ie Have a Tear 1 * *. The i.overnment of th* United States now moves that mankind give the seal fish- eries of Bearing See a year'* rest. It has laid the proposal before tome nf the powers, two of which Great Britain and Portugal are said to have returned answers to the effect that they have no objection. Russia and other maritime nations are expected to be equally obliging. If the business ha* gone so far a* thi* it hae pro- ceeded rapidly and quietly. Nothing has born heard of a reference of the question to the 'Canadian Government, nor of any inquiries into th* STATX or TUB SEALING IMDPiTRY on th* part of that Government, both of which would teem to be called for before the Imperial Government should express itself as prepared to forbid Kehring Sea to Canadian sealers. In the interval sinos the return of the sealing dee t* there has not been time for consulting all the interests that are involved. It seems hardly pro liable, therefore, that the British Government ha* yet signified its readiness to enter into an international agreement to keep the great fur-eeal fUhery closed during the whole of i.-|. A year'* reit may be a good and )*ssary thing for seal Ire, and may bs fruitful of the best result* for coalers, but the Imperial Government it not supposed to take it lor gi anted that it is simply be- oause an interested foreign power says so. The cause* which moved the United State* to appeal to the sea powers to agree to a year suspension of sealing in the water* it once claimed as it* own are the Urge catch made by Canadian* this year, and the alarming report submitted by a commission- er it sent to the teal island*. These lead it to apprehend that the tur seal will soon bs exterminated unles* the** is s pau** in THX WOBX Or SI.AfUHTK R. V A* a guarantee of the uaMlnthiMu of iti motive* it announce* it* willingness to put a stop to island staling dur.ng 1895 il the powers concur in the arrangement to stop pelagic jealing. It could hardly hope to gain its point without this sonneasion, as foreign countries would be disinclined to protect tho teal- herd merely tor the sake of securing a monopoly ol seal-hunting to citizens of the United States. They had such a monopoly in Behring Sea during the modus vivsndi, and they probably abused it, a* the seal herd does not seem to have increased as it should after Behring Sea had been rloeed two years to pelagio sealing. The Paris Arbitrators recommend- ed the Goveinmonts of Great Britain and the United -States to come to an under- standing in order to prohibit the killing of fur seals, either on land or eta, for a period of two or three years, or at Isast one > eir, but that recommendation was not adopted. The present ought to be a good time to preas the settlement of th* account our neighbor eves the Canadian sealers whose veuel* it moleeted in Behring Sea back in 1 vvi. 1887. and I88. Until that M paid Britain should not enter into any new ar- rangement.
