Reaulta at the Dominior Experimental Farma and elsewhere would aeem to indicate: a lf a lf a , vetchea, peaa, oata, clover and com aa the moat suitable cropa for tlie pnrpoae. Dairjr farmers are, therefore, recommended to prepare and feed about aa foUowa for each ten cowa in their herd: — 1. CloTer, one acre: To have been aown with the mixture of peas and oata the iwerioua year aa deacribed below. Feed off June 20 to July 15. 5. Peaa and oata, one-half acre: Sow 1 bushel peafc, H buahala oata and 5 ponnda red clover aeed about the first week in May, or earlier if poaaible. Feed off July IS to 81. 3. Peaa and oata, one-half acre: Sow same mixture on another half acre about third week in May. Feed off August 1 to 16. 4. Com, one-half acre: Sow 10 pounda Longfellow (or other amall variety) in hiUa 36 inches apart each way, or in drills 42 inches apart. Sow third wedi: in May or as early aa possible. Sow on well drained land, clover sod manured at rate of twenty loada (tona) per acre. Feed off Auguat 15 to 30. 6. Com, one-half acre: Sow 12 pounda Wiaconain No. 7 (or other medium variety) same way as above. Feed off in September. For the average 100-acre dairy farm the foregoing soiling crops can be readily managed in a three-year rotation and combined with a four-year (main) rotation advantageoualy. The three-year rotation would thus proride feed for summer and rutumn and a amall amount of pasture. The four-year rotation area would supply forage for winter and spring, and pasture for apring and summer. The following diagram will indicate what might be the arrangement of the fields and the cropa thereon. In the case of a 100-acre farm where in addition to orchards, gardena, etc, about 60 acres could be brought under the plough, fields Ml, M2, M3, and M4 would be under the four-year rotation and would be ciopped as indicated. Fields SI, S2, and SS would be under the three-year rotation and would be cropped aa indicated. Expluwtion of Signa on INafnic.. A — Dwelling-house. B— Shed. C — Poultry-house. D — Horse stable.
