116 DOMINION EXPERIMENTAL FARMS 



such as Alyssum, Calendula, Marigolds, Eschscholtzia, Mignon- 

 ette, Poppies and Pansies, have been tried with success, the 

 bloom continuing in the autumn even after several degrees of 

 frost have been registered. 



Experimental work with cattle is only beginning at this 

 Station, attention having first been given to getting the land 

 into proper shape for crop production, both in the experimental 

 plots and in the fields. It is intended to take up live stock 

 work as rapidly as opportunity permits. 



Seven work horses are at present on the Station; they are 

 of the Clydesdale breed, and it is planned to raise colts from 

 the mares as well as use them for working purposes.
