THE CORN HARVEST.
New Methods "Which Employ Harvesting
SlaeklHes, Shredders aad Uaskers.
Ihiring the dry seasons, -when hay
crops -were short and forage of all iinds
scarce, the tree worth of well cured
corn fodder -was discovered by western
farmers. Farmers of the great corn
states formerly considered nothing of
the crop valuable except the ears, but
a-fair trial convinced them that corn
stover, well harvested and taken care
of, was almost if jiot quite equal to
timothy hay in feeding value a point
that has long been recognized in the
east. The great labor in cutting com
by hand has bad much to do with
preventing the universal use of the
fodder, but with the advent of the
many kinds of sled cutters the corn
binder and the busker and shredder
much of the exhaustive labor is elimi
nated, says American Agriculturist in
connection with the following remarks
on the new methods:
The sled cutters are cheap. The corn
binders mark an era of great advance
ment in the culture of the corn crop.
The corn is cut off by means of draw
knives and sickle and bound while still
standing upright into bundles, which
are discharged in piles for convenience
in shocking. Corn of any size is readily
taken care of, and Kaffir corn, sorghum,
cane, .Milo maize, etc., can be harvest
ed satisfactorily. It matters little Jiow
bad 5y the corn is lodged the binder, if
skillfully handled, will pick up the
stalks, straighten them out and bind
them in neat bundles. Even if flat on
the ground the points of the gatherers
can be run under tbe stalks and thus
raise them. The first binders made by
the AlcCormick harvesting machine
company were put on the market in
1890. In 1895 over 7,000 were sold. A
number of experiment stations in the
United States and Canada have tested
this machine. There is also manufac
tured an improved corn shredder and
husker to supplement tbe corn binder.
This machino has a pair of 17 inch
snapping rolls and a shredder of the
same width; It has one pair of hori
zontal husking rolls, a fan and sieve
by which the corn that is accidentally
shelled is cleaned, and an elevator by
which it is delivered into a sack. A 16
foot fodder carrier and a 14 inch ear
carrier complete the equipment It is
to be operated with any power on the
farm, from the two horse tread to the
eight horse sweep, cr an engine, or a
gasoline motor. These machines have a
large capacity, husking a bushel basket
of ear.s with a two horse tread in fair
corn every minute.
The low wagon for hauling ensilage
fodder is made by hanging two G by 6
inch timbers 14 feet long from the hind
axle of an ordinary farm wagon. The
forward ends are brought together and
fastened to the front wheels by means
of a swivel bolt. One man on the
ground can easily load all the green
fodder one team can draw.
To get the Lust quality of fodder and
at the same time the largest amount of
feed cut when the husks begiinto glaze
or dry up. Put into medium or large
shocks and allow to remain in the field
until tho stalks and blades are thor
oughly cured, then run through a shred
der or store in a stack or barn. Of course
much corn fodder cannot be put under
cover because of a lack ot storage room,
ju which case it is best to make the
shocks large, so that a Emaller percent
age of the f wider will be bleached. If
the ears are not cared for particularly,
but the very best forage is desired, cut
a little earlier than recommended above,
place in small shocks until partially
cured, then put several smaller ones to
gether, advises the authority quoted.

Jn reply to the general query why
more flax is not grown in tbe west
"American Cultivator says:
Tbereason is that it is a very exhaust
ive crop and can only be grown profit
ably where fertility is little regarded or
where there is good market for both
11 ber and seed. It is a good, sign fop
western farmers that flax growing as it
was practiced a few years ago is going
pqt of their farm rotation. The stalk
and fiber -svere always thrown away.
Only the seed was marketed, and this
sold Q low that the raw seed, or, better
still, flaxseed meal, was pne of the
pheapest fertilizers that can be used.
Ifot until we have mills for making
finen cloth and coiiveuieupes for separat
ing the fiber from the stalk will flax
growing be profitable in this conutry.
When both seed and fiber can be sold,
the crop will pay for the heavy manur
ing it requires to keep the land fertile.

Owing to the slump in the tomato
crop throughout the country tnis season
it is predicted by a number of promi

POINTS IN IRRIGATION.
KetStods of Applying Water Storage Ca
pacity of the Soil Sabsolliag.
Methods of applying irricatiou water,
especially surface irrigation and subir
rigation, have been tested by a number
of the experiment stations in both arid i
3 1 1 J r mi i . i '
generally been unfavorable to subirriga
tion. Where irrigating is to be done on
& large scale it seems to be the con
sensus of opinion that surface irrigation
by means of furrows is undoubtedly the
most practical method. In greenhouses
and gardens subirrigation by means of
tiles may often be found advisable.
Furthermore, many soils need drainage
and require the laying of tile. On such
soil it may bo possible to combine drain
age and subirrigation economically, and
the "Wisconsin experiment station is at
present studying this subject.
A question of the greatest importance
in regions of deficient rainfall or where
irrigation is practiced is the storage ca
pacity of the soil for water. When the
soil is thoroughly loosened up, the
amount of water which it will hold is
greatly increased, and the rise of water
to the surface and evaporation are check
ed. Experiments at the Wisconsin and
Nebraska experiment stations have
shown the beneficial effects in these re
spects of subsoiliug. On this point the
Nebraska station makes the following
suggestions:
Subsoil plowing, although a means
of conserving moisture, does not produce
it and is therefore not a substitute for
irrigation where tbe rainfall is too
smnll to produce crops.
Where there is a hard, dry subsoil,
subsoil plowing is to be recommended.
Where the subsoil is loose, gravelly
or sandy, subsoiliug is probably un
necessary or may even be injurious.
Do not subsoil when the soil is very
wet either above or beneath, as there
is great danger of puddling the soil,
thus leaving it in worse condition than
before. This is one of the reasons why
it is better to subsoil in the fall than in
the spring.
If the ground besubsoiled in the fall,
the winter and spring rains have ample
opportunity to soak in, that being the
season of greatest rainfall and least
evaporation.
Subsoiliug in the spring may be a
positive detriment if tbe subsoil b8 ex
tremely dry, as in that case the rain
water is partially removed from tbe
young plant by the absorption of the
bottom Eoil. If the spring rains were
heavy, this would not be a disadvantage.
It is probable that the increased
yields on snbsoiled lands are mainly if
not entirely due to the increased amount
of water which such laud is able to
Etore up for the use of the crop. Sub
soil plowing may thus be made the
means of greatly extending the area
over which crops may bo successfully
grown withont irrigation, and when
practiced in connection with irrigation
mav result in a great saving of irriga
tion water. As indicated above, how- 1
ever, before deciding upon the advisa
bility of subsoiliug it is necessary to
ascertain, among other things, the na
ture and condition of the Eoil and sub
soil. Farmers' Bulletin.
lleet Sujjar Factories.
With the increasing interest in beet
sugar production Consul Muth's report
to the department is timely. Writing
from Magdeburg, Germany, the consul
says: Factories should be erected only
in localities where it has been demon
strated beyond doubt that sugar beets
can be grown successfully. The factory
must be easily accessible to the farmers
aud should, therefore, be situated in
the heart of the district from which it
draws its beets. All tbe material need
ed in the manufacture .should either be
close at hand or easily procurable. -Besides
Leets the principal materials
needed to run a sugar factory are water,
fuel and limestone; water to wash the
beets and limestone for the purification
of the beet juices.
Shredding Corn Fodder.
A correspondent of Country Geutle
mau offers these suggestions to begin
ners in shredding fodder: 1. Cut the
corn as early as practicable aud set it
up to stand well and tie the shocks
welL 2. Let the stalks get dry enough
so that no juice will appear when it
runs through the rolls. 3. Provide two
pr three platform wagons, about 7 by
16 or 18 feet and as low as possible,
with ends 3 feet high, on which to haul
the corn to the machine. Do not at
tempt to haul on cuaimou, narrow, high
jiay riggings. 4 When the corn is dry
and before fall rains set in, get at it
and rnsh, rn-h, uutil all is husked and
shredd.ed The cast will exceed the cost
of Jruskiug ly baud slightly.
Fall Sottu Wheat.
A big aueage cf fall sown wheat is
being plauued for by many farmers.
American Agriculturist says in this
connection: We say don't. Present aud
prospective high prices will probably
stimulate an enormous sowing of wheat
this fall and next spring, not only in
(he United States, but throughout tbe
world. Just this was done after the
Jiigb prices of 1891-2, and it caused a
world's overproduction of wheat which
ias just bep'i rcdnced to normal propor
tions by a short crop in foreign coun
tries this year, following a reduced
yield last reasqti. Low prices are as
likely to follow big supplies of wheat
nest'year as during the past few j ears."
Wirier Graiq AHer Potatoes.
Wherever the potato crop can bo got
pff in. time for seeding with fall grain
jt makes the very best seed, bed, accord
ing to American Cultivator. "No plow
ing is needed if the weeds have been
Jcepf down. It is only necessary to pile
he potato vines in heaps and burn
them," starting the fire iij a brush heap,
if the potato tops are too green to burn
readily. A great deal of plant food is
developed after growing a crop cf pota
toes. It is largely nitrogenous, as the
potato crop is chiefly water and carbon,
with some potash, which is mostly
found in the potato tops, M
Palm Keer.
On the west coast of Africa it is a
common thing to see a woman climbing
up a gigantic palm tree with a cala
bash of immense size hung round her
neck. When she has reached the top
branch, she taps the tree, and the sap
begins to flow. Then she hangs the
calabash beneath the stream of Pap and
descends. Twelve hours later she climbs
the tree again aud takes down the cala
bash, which by that time is full of
palm beer. It resembles mead .some
what, but a small quantity of it stupe
fies the drinker.
POT CULTURE OF LETTUCE.
Success Attained at the Tennessee Station.
Ueslrablo For Xocal Markets.
The New York station claims tbe
honor of having demonstrated the pos
sibilities of growing lettuce in pots.
The Tennessee station adopted the plan,
and, according to Professor Watts, made
a success of it. The advantages of the
pot system as explained in Professor
Watt's report is to secure the highest
quality at the least cost, to place it on
the market just as crisp, fresh and at
tractive as when growing, and in such
manner that the purchaser can, by
proper handling, preserve its succulent
condition for a week or more.
Two methods of marketing were
tried. The plan which proved most suc
cessful was to market in flats holding
about a dozen pots with the balls un
disturbed, when one thorough watering
each day will preserve the heads in a
perfectly fresh condition for a week or
more. The plants, when exhibited for
sale, had a bright, fresh, beautiful ap
pearance, each leaf remaining crisp and
rigid. The salesman simply cut the
Etem at the surface of the pot, or, if the
purchaser desired, the ball was slipped
out of the pot and wrapped in paper.
The advantages, as summed up by
Professor Watts, are:
Making it possible to retain the suc
culent condition of the lettuce until it
reaches the table.
.The attractiveness of heads when
offered for sale increases prices fully
one-third on tho market.
It enables grocery men to keep a con
stant supply of lettuce in a perfectly
fresh condition.
It enables the consumer to keep a
3upply of lettuce to be nsed at will, a
very imporautt element, as cut lettuce
should be eaten before it withers, and
it is not possible by the usual method
of marketing io keep the head3 fresh
more than a few hours.
A crop may be cut from the perma
nent bed every month when pnt culture
is practiced. With the usual methods
a crop is cut from the same Epace about
every two months during winter and
spring.
Pots removed from the permanent
bed, when the plants are ready for
market, may be replaced at once by
pots from tho sand bed, a great economy
of space.
The expense of pots and Elight in
crease of labor in marketing are -the
only disadvantages, but the advantages
mentioned overbalance the disadvan
tages and render pot culture desirable
and profitable for gardeners depending
upon local markets.
Feeding: Alfalfa.
Experiments have been conducted
with a view to ascertaining the feeding
value of alfalfa for steers at the Hatch
station for three years, including com
parisons of early, medium and late cut
alfalfa, and of the first, second and
third crops. In some periods the alfalfa
was fed without grain and in others
bran and wheat were added. The re
sults show that steers fed alfalfa, either
with or without grain, made the most
rapid gain on the early cut and the
least gain on the late cut. This was
true for the early cutting of both the
first and second crops. Pound for pound,
the early cutting gave the best result
that is, less food was required per pound
of gain when early cut alfalfa was fed
than on either medium or late cut. The
early cutting also yielded the most hay,
medium cutting coming second. It is es
timated that fully one-third more beef
can be produced on an acre with early
cutting than with either medium or
Jate cutting.
For the different crops of alfalfa the
rate of gain and the food required per
pound of gain both favored the third
crop, the first crop being second in
value. There was very little difference
jn composition between the first and
second crops of alfalfa, but the third
crop contained more protein and less
fiber than the other crops, thus indicat
ing its superior feeding quality. Pound
for pound, good alfalfa proved to be
equal to timothy hay, while in the rate
pf gain it proved better, and alfalfa was
noticeably superior to clover hay. Add
ing straw to the ration of alfalfa and
grain proved advantageous.
Shrinkage of Corn In Storage.
Corn is the grain that probably
shrinks most, though as it grows less
in bulk its nutritive value is not less
ened. It may be even possible if the
cob be still damp that some nutrition
goes from cob to the grain while it is
in the crib. The moist corncob has
some sweetness. That of the dried cGb
is only woody fiber ana potash. We
pnee measured 650 bushels of corn in
the ear into a crib. As we had most of
it ground in the ear for feed we meas
ured out the corn during tho winter as
it was taken from the mill. Tho
loss in bushels was more than ?0 and
of weight still more than this. This
was less decrease than we had expected.
3ut the corn was put in when thor
oughly ripened, and we began to take
it to the mill to grind it before it had
dried out much. The Dent corn wastes
in drying much more than Flint corn
does. It is less compact after it is dried
and cannot be brought up to the stand
ard weight of Flint com either when
wet or dry. American Cultivator.

REFORMERS SCORED A WINNING IN
THE CHOCTAW ELECTION.
Hard Fishtirts t tto Ptla Eetrsrccn tic
Progressive Toshlmhcmas zu;d tLe Union
ists Widespread Corruption of Voters,
lied Men Are Great Wire Wallers.
The late election in the Choctaw .Na
tion shows that the Choctaw tribe of
Indians is the wisest of the fivo civilized
tribes.
The election was held throughout tho
Choctaw Nation for national treasurer
and members of the national council,
and the result of the election shows
how the Chcctaw pecplo feel toward
treating with the United States.
In every county where there were
straight Indians who -understood tho
late agreement formulated between tho
commissions representing the Cbcctaw
and Chickasaw nations and the Dawes
commission the Tnshkahoma ticket re
ceived a majority. The Tnshkahoma
party embraces these Choc taws who are
in favor of treating with the United
States aud who waufto have their own
say so in settling their affairs and in
determining how long they shall con
tinue their present form of government
a government which they dearly love
and cherish. For the past 65 years they
have enjoyed all the rights of self gov
ernment, a privilege which they have
exercised as wisely as any of the adjoin
ing states.
The Tnshkahoma party was the first
political organization of the Indian
Territory that openly announced the
danger.s threatening the five civilized
tribes, and in setting forth these dangers
to the people it formed what was
known as the Tnshkahoma platform.
This platform advocated an equal divi
sion of all the laud and property. The
party sent out its speakers among the
people and showed them that they must
change the tenure of the laud, and in
stead of holding tho laud in common,
as it is now done, that it should be and
ultimately must be individualized.
When it is taken into consideration how
bitterly the Indians were epposed to a
change aud that heretofore it had been
dangerous for au Indian to even speak
in favor of any kind of a change, it ap
peared strange to see this Tnshkahoma
platform advocated openly among the
people.
But the leaders of this party fearless
ly discussed their platform and met their
opponents sobefT while tbe opposition
were usually "tanked up" with whisky
and used "bluff' instead of argument
The result was the Tnshkahoma party
elected its governor, while its op
ponents were lying around drunk. This
happened cue year ago. Those who are
opposed to the agreement call them
selves tho Chcctaw and Chickasaw
Union pty. aun" their intention was
to defeat the agreement if they secured
a majority of the representatives. They
made a desperate effort to secure this
majority W7hero there were negroes
they bought them as one would buy
merchandise. In Towson, Red River,
Kiamitia and Tobncksy, where the ne
groes were in a majority, the Chcctaw
and Chickasaw Union party is said to
have bought its votes outright.
While the result of this election is
still in doubt, yet from the way in
which the Union party bought negro
voters itwould seem that it will elect
its candidate. The salary of tho na
tional treasurer is but $600 per annum,
and a3 it has, it is said, spent sev
eral times this amount to elect its
candidate for that office, it is but natu
ral that people should suspect its mo
tives. Tho Tnshkahoma party had no
campaign fund, but ran the campaign
strictly on its merits, and it has the
satisfaction of knowing it has se
cured a majority of council members
despite the "sluslr" funds used by the
opposition, and 13 yet in a position to
protect the Choctaw people from -a par
ty whose motto is "Rule or Ruin. "
The administration at Washington
should lend every possible aid aud en
couragement to the party which advo
cates an end to tribal government the
party which made it possible for the
Dawes commission to conclude au
agreement with the Choctaws and
Chickasaws, the only agreement yet
concluded with the five civilized tribes.

UNNECESSARY HEROISM.
A Connect icHt Han's Experience With a
Sabstltatc Batatas.
- One of the most ridiculous situations
which at the time bring the coldest
sweat out on a man's brow and ever
after remain with him as a constant
Eource of mirth occurred to a Shelton
merchant He thought he would take a
bath, and as his flat is minus one of the
chief requisites for the .job a bathtub
he extemporized one out of a small
washtub and enjoyed a cooling abla
tion. He had just concluded and stepped
from the tub for tbe towel, when sud
denly the top hoop of the tub burst with
a sharp report, and the man saw to his
horror that the whole contents of the
tub would Eoon be flooding the floor. At
the same moment he thought of the
store beneath and the amount of dam
age the water would do as it ran down
through tbe ceiling. He is a man of
quick thought, and in a moment he did
the only thing possible threw himself
down beside the tub and, clasping his
arms around it, "held the already fast
swelling staves together. He was suc
cessful in keeping the water in but
what a situation 1 He dared not yell, for
he was hardly in a condition to receive
callers, especially as he knew that all
in the block at the time were of the
gentler sex, and he realized at once that
the only thing left for him was to stay
in that position until the return cf his
wife, who was out on a shopping expe
dition. Like the boy who saved Holland, be
manfully remained in bis most uncom
fortable position until relief in the
shape of his wife appeared. Then, to cap
the climax, when he asked her to get a
rope or any old thing to tie about the
tub, she, after a leug fit of uncontrolla
ble laughter, asked him why he didn't
carry tub and ccntents cut to the sink
room and pour cut the water. With a
look that froze the smile on her face he
did as she said and without a word don
ned his clothing and wandered out into
the cold, unfeeling world, a crushed
and humiliated man. Ansouia Senti
