TO SAVE SEED BURN rStraw May be Used Much More , Freely for Idle Horses. ‘ HE year 1917 provided, both in the United States and in Ontario, conditions very un- favorable tor the production of good seed corn. Excess of mois- ture in the crop “Was followed by freezing and these conditions resultâ€" ed in one of the worst seed corn years in a generation. As a result of this, much of the seed (-orn sown in Ontario in 1918 was, to say the least. of varieties that were late in matur- ing. A very high percentage of [dis corn which will be used for seed next year, now contains a large amount of moisture. To make this corn ot’ the greatest value for seed purposes, it should be harvested, it possible, be- fore hea-vy frostand thoroughly dried. Maturity is one of the essentials in producing good seed corn. but no less important is the thorough drying at the seed.

(Contributed by Ontario Department of Agrlculture, Toronto.) It is not even necessary for corn to be frozen to lose some of its vital- ity, it will deteriorate at ordinary temperatures if not well dried. When freezing occurs, greater loss in vital- ity is experienced. Corn which is har- vested with an excess of moisture should be dried as rapidly as pos- sible as this removes the danger or injury from moulding, fermenting and freezing. In the process of dry- ing, a free circulation of air should be provided and. if necessary, urti- ficial heat. used. Seed corn van be most readily dried when stored in the ear. Q+M+W mem-r-l-Hua-q-Ma 1»: Where the corn is well matured and is grown in large quantities. the corn-crib provides one or the most satisfactory drying mediums, as it supplies the best of air circulation along with protection against storms and vermin. A post in which a number of nails are driven at an angle of forty-five. degrees, and the ears stuck on the protruding ends, provides a good meâ€" dium for drying seed corn ears. These posts with a platform at the base may be readily removed to places where artificial heat can be used if necesâ€" sary. Where relatively small amounts of seed corn are used, selected ears may be hung up to dry in the attic, kitch- en or furnace room. Corn which has been thoroughly matured and thoroughly dried gives the highest percentage and most vig~ crous germination, but seed corn which has reached the dough or firm dough stage of inalurity, when har- vested, it well dried, usually makes good seed. When thoroughly dried and surrounded by a dry atmosphere, even zero weather will not injure the germination of seed corn..-â€".Prof. W. J. Squirrell. OnLurio Agricultural College, Guelph. lege. Guelph. particularly if a little grain is fed along with it. It is just a question whether it is more economical to feed good hay and no grain than it is to feed a percentage of bright straw and a ration of crushed oats. Only clean, bright straw should he used for horses and one or two feeds per day, replacing hay should be found advantageous under certain circumstances. We have seen horses wintered in good condition on out straw and a light grain ration. 1t hay were available for a light feed once a day the other two feeds could he composed of straw. and less grain would be required than where the entire roughage ration was straw. Oat straw makes the best feed. barâ€" and rye straw last. A few roots may be used to good advantage with the straw, and under no circumstances is it good policy to winter horses on straw without supplementing it with at least one or two light feeds 0! oats per day.-â€"-Prof. Wade Table.

It is slow Work at any time and becomes much more so under cold damp conditions. Lift the roots with a digging fork and twist ott the tops, putting them in piles and cover- ing with the tops. If a large area is to be lifted and one is expert with a sharp hoe he can very quickly re- move the tops, but they will not keep quite as well. The roots should be ploughed out, throwing them as much as possible on the top. Bins with slatted sides and bottom should be used for storage where possible. as this gives the roots ‘a chance to sweat. If the storage room temperature is above 40 degrees F. cover them with sand, Carrots should not be deeper than two feet in a bin, others may be four feet. Where cellar storage is not available use pits. These should be three ieet wide, two or three feet high and of any length. Run the pits north and south where possible, and have them on well drained ground. Put a layer of straw on the ground and cover first with straw six inches deep. then six inches earth. and as frost gets harder cover with’fresh strawy manure. Have ventilations eVery 15 or 20 feet as all roots sweat in storage. These may be filled with straw during cold periods. All roots should be as free from dirt as possible when put in storage. vIt is often advisable to leave a few days in small piles so that at the 580‘ 0nd lifting any adhering wig] be re- moved.â€"â€"~A.
