The best butter, (or packing is usua^jy made in the aionths oJ June antf September. It is jreferably made from comparatively jweet cream which has been pasteu. • zed. However, on the farm pasteur- :zation Is not commonly followed, aence the butter should bo^ made Ahen the weather is comparatively 3ool and the cream should be churn- sd tjefore it becomes very sour â€" la ract, t"he sweeter the cream tlie more likely it is to produce good keeping' quality in the butter, so long u^ there is sufllcieai acid in the cream lo give good churning results. The ci'eam should be churned in the usual way, except that the butler may be washed once witli brine, which is made by dissolving salt in water, instead of using water at both washings. Salt at the usual rats' â€" . but not over one ounce of salt jjifer pound of butter, because salt does , not pre?erve butter as i.s commonly '• supposed, except in a minor degree tor unpasteurized creaiii butler. It is a mistake, however, to add so much salt that the fine tiavor of the butter is covered up. Having worked the butter as us- ual, pack it firmly into crocks, tubs or â- iKixe.'). If irupuralined wooden packages are used, these should be soaked several days in salt water to prevent "woody" flavor in the 'outter. A better plan is to coat the inside of the tub or box with hot wax, then line with heavy parchment paper, be- fore packing the butter. Glazed crocks which are clean, need no lining. When the package is full, prefer- ably all from one ehurnUig, smooth the top of the butter, cover ^itb parchmenr paper or a rle§,n cotton cloth, then' tie heavy brown paper over â-  the* top and place in a cool cellar or in cold storage. Sometimes a salt paste is put on top of the cloth or paper and this is kept moist by sprinkling on water from time to time. This excludes the air and helps to keep the butter. We rec6mmend packing the butter in solid form which is to be kept for some time, rather than holding the butter if! prints, even though these iiiav be submerged in brine. â€" Prof. H. H. Dean, 0. A.

The autumn of 1917 saw the corn crop harvested with an ex- cess of moisture. Wet cold weather followed, during which time the corn did not cure, consequently, when the very cold weather of. December set in tWe corn was frozen and germina- tion was reduced to a very low per- centage. This situation which caused the agricultural authorities of North America so much anxiety during the winter and spring of 1918, and which was described by them as "a national calamity," is not yet averted. The problem which that committer bad to face was one of supplying North America with seed which would give a fair germination. To secure this seed was no easy task and recourse was made to districts iu the United States hundreds of miles to the south of Ontario which r produce large, late maturing varie- ties. In bringing this seed into the country there was little expectati()n that it would produce much grain, but it was hoped it would produce fodder. The situation in Ontario was so acute that an embargo was placed on the seed grown in Kent and Essex counties prohibiting the exportation from those counties to other districts in Ontario. Some seed of fair germ- ination was available but not suffi- cient for all their local needs, and as those counties located in southern and western Ontario furnish the chief source of seed for the remain- der of the province it was felt that such action was justlfled in order to conserve those varieties tor seed pur- poses which had proven themselves adapted to Ontario conditions. There was never a time In On- tario's history when it was more ne- cessary to take every precaution In the selection of seed com than at the present time. The most satisfactory meth^ of seed selection is th^i of selecting in the fleld. The grower can go up and down his rows, and select tho^e ears which are early, well de- veloped and possess all the varietal characteristics. When selttctlns in the field the grower has before him the standing plant. He can seleot from those plants which possess the height, strength, leaflness and earlt* ness desired. When once the desired' type Is established in the grower's mind good progress can be made In selecting the ears. This method of- fers many advantages over that ot selecting from the shock or from the crib. The crib is the least desirable, in that it otters only hireked ears to select from. With the shock, when husking, the grower has the Wilted or matured stalks, while the field aelec-^ tion has everything in its favor, the whole plant and its environment which may mean normal or abnormal conditions for development. â€" Dr. C.
