In malting a new Lawn it is of the utmost importance that the ground should be free from weeds, and to attain this end a thorough summer 
fallowing IS the best method. Before sowing, the ground should be carefully raked, and then sown evenly, and lightly raked in, after which it 
should be well rolled or " tamped " down with the back of a spade. New manure should never be used, on account of the numerous weeds whioh

Selected Ensilage Seed Corn 
INDIAN CORN is better adapted for Ensilage than any other Forage 
plant, because it produces, per acre, more succulent food and at less 
cost. 
It is evident that the variety has much to do with the profit resulting 
from the Siloing of Com. We mean by that, that the weight of crop 
per acre regulates the cost per ton of the Ensilage, so that the varieties 
that will produce the most tons per acre, and at the same time are sure 
to be ripe enough for the Silo before frost comes, are the most profitable. 
Location and time of sowing has to be taken into account. If not sown 
till well on in June, bow an early Fhnt Corn, in most sections of the Do- 
minion. If sown middle of May, a taller and later sort would be most 
profitable. There are many varieties of Dent Corn that, even in the 
Province of Quebec, are certain to come to the right stage of maturity 
for Siloing, and that will produce from a quarter to a third more than 
the Flint varieties. 
One very important point to be observed in sowing Com is this, that 
the distance apart in rows or hills should be regulated by the height the 
variety naturally grows, and if .3 feet or feet apart is the proper 
distance for a tall growing sort like Red Cob, a 14 foot less would be 
equally right for, say Sanford, Compton, Longfellow, or most of the 
Sugar varieties. 
We would also recommend buyers if they receive their Corn early in 
spring to spread it out and thus keep it in perfect condition till sowing 
time. 
We still continue to recommend Sugar Corn for Ensilage. There is 
no doubt but that it is more nutritious than either Dent or Flint varieties 
can possibly be. It certainly is much better than either for feeding 
green, as cattle will not eat up clean the butts of any but Sweet Cora. 
DENT VARIETIES

difference in freight, in favor of Montreal, to points in Eastern Ontario 
Quebec and all the Lower Provinces, amounts to 10c. per bushel on the 
average.

highly thought of for Ensilage. Per bush. $1.30.

of shelled corn or Forage. 8 to 9 feet. Bush. $1.30.
