Working Crops Four Tlme3 Will Has ten Growth of Plants, Clean Land of Weeds and Put It In Order for Fall Seeding. Corn for fcodlng green to cows In midsummer or to cure Tor winter feed should bo grown In drills wldo enough apart to ho worked by tho sulky culti vator. Drill tho corn In with about 400 pounds of somo good bono phos phnto to tho acre. Tho corn should bo put In for winter food not later than Root Development of Corn In Poorly Drained Soil. latter part of May, says a writer In tho Ualtlmoro American. Drill ono bushel of largo, sound, solocted corn to tho acre; this will allow ton to twelve grains to tho running foot in tho 42 inch rows. Tho ground should be In good order. After drilling roll tho Hold, tho corn can then bo worked with tho double section smoothing harrow beforo tho grain germinates. Work tho crop four times; this will hasten tho growth of corn and clean tho weeds and put it in nico order for fall seeding. If tho ground is mellow and rich, nearly every stalk will grow a singlo ear of corn. Tho time to cut tho fod der is when tho grain is in tho dough and tho lower lcavos commence to turn yellow. Cut with tho self-rako reaper, mako small bundles, let tho fodder wilt for a day or so, then sot up, putting six to eight bundles to tho shock. Make tho shock as fol lows: Take three nrmfuls for tho horse, tio securely in tho middle, then sot tho other five armfuls evenly all around, make an even shock, tio se curely with tarred twine. Mako Btralght, even-shock rows. After the fodder Bottles they should bo tied tighter. We do not bind tho bundles, tho fodder keeps better when the fod der is put into the shock and pressed closo with tho hands. Drilled corn fodder, set up by this motliod, will keep dry and sweet and better In tho shock than when packed in tho barn. Corn grown by this method for fod der will average four to flvo tons of cured dry fodder to the acre, by actu- In Well-Drained Soil Roots Go Deep and Are Not So Affected by Drought. nl weight, and makes, next to first crop clover hay, a most substantial winter forage for all stock. By drill ing early in wldo rows and giving thorough culture, tho corn gets an abundanco of sunshine and air, aud has tho full benefit of all plant food. Tho stalks havo plenty of silica and aro not easily blown down by heavy wind and rain storms, and tliero is no difficulty in harvesting und curing tho crop. Corn for fodder should never bo sown broadcast or too thick In tho row, as such stp.lks contain nothing but water and aro worthless for feed. Fodder contains tho roost sugar und Is in tho best condition to feed green, or to euro, when tho milk Is just out of tho grain and U"5 grain is in tho dough stage. CLEAN STALES AND BEDDING Milk Is Tainted With Foul Odors Very Quickly After t Is Poured Into Receptacle. Tho cow Bhould have a clean bed ding every night, and all 111th should bo romoved from tho stall early In tho morning. Tho milk Is tainted with foul odors very miickly after it goes into tho bucket. Tho stall must thou bo kept scrupulously clean. It Is a good plan to keep walls whitewashed and all dust naould bo well brushed ! from thorn.

If farmers will kcop manuro and stnblo sprinkled with a solution that will kill tho larva, flies need not becomo numerous. Tho fol lowing treatment, recommended in United Stntos department of agricul ture bulletin 118, will control flies and will mako u noticcablo reduction in tho number around a given place: DIs solvo thrco-fourths of a pound ot borax In two or thrco gallons of water. Spray or sprinklo manure plies and stables with tho solution about twice a week. This will kill tho larva which hatch from eggs laid in manuro Tho danger to human health from lllos Is sufficient to mako tho wiso farmer take these prccautlons,tbut If h9 looks for further Justification It can bo found in tho pro tection of Hvo stock. Human diseases nro Bpread by flies and Hvo stock nro worried by them. Tho danger to hu man welfaro must bo concoded, but tho loss to Hvo stock is not so onelly seen. Animals which aro pestered by files will lose flesh, and stnblo Hies rob them of blood. NEW PATENT ON CULTIVATOR Extra Blades Travel In Advance, Cut ting Sod, Weeds or Crust That May Have Formed. John S. Smith, n Raclno county (Wisconsin) inventor, sends In a de scription of his now patent cultivator to tho Farming Business. This culti vator has extra blades that travel In advance and parallel to tho cultivator blades for tho cutting of sod, roots, weeds and any crust that may havo formed, leaving tho cultivator blades to do their work of stirring tho soli. Ono lover manipulates both knlvos and cultivators. This relievos draft, as It is not necc3sarv to tear into tho soil ! so deeply to do both tho breaking of tho sod and crust and tho cultivation with ono sot of blades. Any ono of the four beams used to carry tho knlvos and cultivators can bo adjusted lndt pendontly bo as to meet all kinds of conditions of soil and vegetation. MANURE LOSES BY LEACHING When Rains Fall Much of Soluble Plant Food Is. Carried Away Moisture Holds Plant Food. Farmers havo been so accustomed to throw tho manuro from tho stnblo In a pllo In tho barnyard, and leavo It until it "is convenient to haul It to tho Holds, that they do not glvo tho mat ter of loss by washing and leaching any consideration. Usually but llttlo of tho value of tho solids of tho ma nuro is lost in tho stable, but great losses occur after it is thrown in a pile. Tho manuro in tho stable, sat urated by tho urine, contains mora than SO per cent water. The moisture In tho manuro holds In solution tho greater part of tho plant foods which the manure contains. When tho rains fall upon tho manuro tho leaching process carries away much of tho soluble plnnt foods and it is lost beyond recovery, for It Is either carried away in the wator as it flowa on tho surfaco to the streams, or sinks Into tho ground whore, for all practi cal purposes, It is wasted. TESTING FERTILITY OF EGGS If Trouble Is With Male Fowl Replace Him Make Suro Feeding Ration Is Not Responsible. Thoso who mako a specialty of sell ing hatching eggs from selected mat Ings should keep a careful test on tho fertility of eggs produced, bo that poorly fertilized eggs will not bo sont out to customers; necessitating replac ing the eggs later and causing delay In getting young chicks started toward tho showrooms. If tho fertility Is not good roplaco tho malo bird with another or make Buro that tho feeding ration is not re sponsible for tho trouble. TO STORE PERISHABLE FOODS Every Farm Should Be Provided With Cellar, Storehouse and Refrig erator for Crops. Farmers loso much every year bo causo their facilities for storing per ishable foods aro poor. Every farm homo should havo a cel lar, storehouse and refrigerator so tho surplus foods may bo saved till such tlmo as they may bo consumed. Tho fact that producers havo Inado quato facilities for saving perlshablo products gives speculators advan ui;es over them.

For thoso who conduct tho business carofully turkoy raising is likely to bo very profitable. Tho domand in this country continues to Increase, ap parently, fastor than tho supply. Farm ers who go into tho business, howovor, aro cautioned to glvo tho marketing problem considerable attention in ad vance In tho turkey publications ot tho United States department of agricul ture, which is Farmors' Dullotln No. 200, tho following rules for Bolectlng turkoys for breeding aro given: First Always uso as brccdora turkoy bona over ono year old.

More attention should bo paid to eggs at all times and under nil cir cumstances. This means that thoy should bo uniform in color aud Bhapo and regular in size as far ns posslblo. If thoy had more attention paid to them at our fairs; and were brought to tho notlco of tho public and tho farmors In particular, much good would come from It. Lot us offer good prlzos for a display of eggs, say not loss than thrco dozen, and havo it stipulated that thoy bo strictly fresh; that no cold Btorago stock need apply for tho sako of selecting for size. It such a plan wero carried out nt n number of our fairs for a few years tho selection of good eggs would got to bo a sclenco and would interest tho poultry public to a great degree, and bo of untold benefit to all of us, whether as producors or consumers of eggs.

Tho Nobraflka Stato Journal calls at tention to tho fact that Undo Sam's opening ot a 4,000-ncro trnct In the North Platto irrigation district for sot tlemont practically winds up tho "free land distribution" ot tho nation. It adds: "Froo or cheap land has boon tho American safety vnlvo. A population straining for self-hot-torment has had its own remedy to go west and grow up with tho country. With tho government reduced to advertising an opening ot forty-throo farms, tho safety valvo may bo conBlderod forover closed. Tho oxpanslvo onorgy for merly oxertcd outward, must hord- attor work Itself out intensively. Increasing land speculation, with rapidly rising prlcoa ot land and proportionately Increasing dissat isfaction among tho landless would Booni luovitablo. Tho tono of our politics and tho intensity of our social problems cannot but bo vi tally changed under tho strain ot doaling internally with a social proBsuro which hlthorto has had tho wilderness to vent Itself upon. '"Land hunger will soon becomo a roaltty in this rapidly growing country and tho constant prcssuro ot popula tion, increasingly higher than tho ratio of production, Is bound to bring us faco to fnco with economic problems that wo havo herotoforo considered re mote.
