The system of adding dry, pure crushed linseed to the separated milk given to calves, and the feeding with crushed oats has been continued at the Ruakura this season with the best results. Scour has been almost entirely absent. A striking feature of agricultural development in the Philippine Islands is the establishment of co-operative demonstration demonstration plots. Inspectors of Agriculture visit the farms and take charge of the plots, which are cultivated according to the best methods, although only by means available to the small farmer. The co-operating farmer gets the benefit of the example and of the increased crop gained by the improved methods. The system has given excellent results.
