(Contributed by Ontario l)opHrtm«nt ot Aerlculturo, Toronto.) HKUE Is a best time to bow eacii class of farm crops to scrurp the higheKt returns. It is dilflcult, however, to know which are the most favorable dates for the beat returns ot the dif- ferent crops in all seasons. The ro- Bults of experiments contlucted over a Series ot years form a good sen- eral guide. Some cropa give best re- sults from later seeUings. Sea.sons vary so much that in some years the grains are practically all sown liy the dates at which it is only posslLdo, to start sowing in other years. It Is of the utmost importance, however, to start cultivating the land as early as it is dry enough to work to good ad- vantage. The first cull i vat ioa;; should tuko place for those crops which should he first .lown. In this connec- tion it is interesting to study the re- sults of an experiment which was conducted in each of (ivo years at the Ontario Agricultural College. Spring wheal, barley, oats and peas were sown on each of six dates. One week was allowed between each two dates. The experiment was conduct- ed in duplicate by sowing with the grain drill and broadcast by hand in each instance. Tlic following table gives the average results for the tea tests in the five-year period: Card of Tiianiis I d R'e to thank my iniiiy kind frienJ.s an I nei4bbi>t'4 for thdir groat liindncsM during :li ! huveru slckaos of my Ins ) n I â€" Mlti=.

All changes In feeding should be made It will be seen that the sprins Wheat gives decidedly the best re- turns from llie lirst dale of seeding. There is not niiinh difference between the first two seedings ot barley and oats, Ijut there is a slight advantage from the first date in Ibe case of bar- ley and from the second date in the case of oals. The pea.-;, Iiowover, gave the highest relurns from the second and third dales, and even the '. fourth gave a higher average yield I than the first date. After the (l:3t week was pa.st I here was an average decrease per acre for each day's de- lay as the Season advanced of 27 pounds of spring wheal, 47 pounds of barley, 4 8 pounds of oats, and 20 pounds of peas. These esulls are of special inter- est and arj worthy of careful atten- tion at this particular lime. Slicep Shearing. Shearing and Tying the Fleece. â€" Shearing should only be Ciuried on under the most favoralile conditions; upon briglit, warm sunsluny days when tht' sheep are dry of fleece and the wool has "risen" somewhat from the body. Cleanliness and care in the removal ot all fleeces is very es- sential and the shearing floor should be swejit after each U(^ece lias been removed and lied.
