Of alt the many publications . issued from time to time by â€"the Department of Agriculâ€" ture at Ottawa this annual report is by far the nuost comprchensive as it deals with practically every phase of Canadian Agricultural activity rangâ€" ing from the â€" cultivation of fraits and ornamental plants to the growing and preserving of corn for sgock food; from the . hatching and ‘vearing _ of fowls to the wiu and feeding . of cattle, sheep and swine ; from the management . of baks to the protecâ€" tion of crops from insects and disâ€" ease, and so on throughout the whole range of farryng. As Acting Dominion Agriculturist, Mr. Grisdale deals with the work carried on at the Central Farm with live stock and with crop rotations for various kinds of farming. He shows that the dairy herd consisting of Ayrshires, Guernseys, Castadtans, and grades of these produced butter at costs ranging from 11.4 cests to 24.4 cents per 1b., and that the cows gave profits of from $13.80 to $98.60 during the nxilking period.

This detegâ€" mination ‘was reached because of the danger of introducing into Canadian soil two new potato diseases. These discases, _ known as Potato Canker and Corky Scab, have worked dgeat havoc to the potatoâ€"growing indugtry in European countriew. The Poultry Manager, Mr. A. G.

On the question of raising fowls the report points out that the experience of many _ years in haiching chickens, at diffetent perâ€" iods of spring time, leads to the canâ€" clusion that chickens hatched out €urâ€" ing the first week in May make the most _ satisfactory growth, catching up to and frequently surpassing . the earlier hatched birds. 6 of a sound, policyâ€"holders and shareholders _ who had the satisfaction of receiving the best reports in the histeryâ€" of . the company.
