time or other handed over to public
and private companies New York for
example fifty years after it had been
sold for something like 25 was pre
sented with other lands to the Duke of
York by his brother the king and the
name of the city is a witness this day
to that transaction The duke granted
New Jersey to somebody else and a
few years before the kinghad carved
out Maryland for Lord Baltimore
Pennsylvania was given to William
Penn the Quaker who founded the
state in payment It is said of a debt
that Charles II owed Penns father
and the same monarch gave both North
and South Carolina to eight London
gentlemen who stayed at home called
themselves the lords proprietors and
lived on the rents until the people re
fused to pay any more and George II
took over the colonies
The story of Colonel Talbot at the be
ginning of -the last century is one of
the romances of Canadian history
The colonel went out in 1793 as an aid-de-camp
to the governor and tho
founding of a colony became the ruling
passion of his life He was given 100
000 acres which grew later toGSOOOO
on condition that he place a settler on
every 200 acres Today this territory
is occupied by some of the most flour
ishing towns in the Dominion and at
the beginning of Queen Victorias reign
Colonel Talbot who was then still liv
ing was the recognized chief of twen
ty eight -towns all of which had ben
given to him years before as unoccu
pied land
Prince Edward Island covering 3000
square miles and embracing such
flourishing towns as Georgetown Cliar

of 1000000 acres and bought 2300000
more at the rate of half a crown an

The mention of the Hudsons Bay
company recalls what Is probably the
most famous gift of territory in his
tory In 1670 Charles II gave Prince
Rupert by royal charter territory 200
or 300 miles wide around the eastern
and southern shores of Hudsons bay
in addition to a vast empire of forest
and prairie Ruperts Land as the
territory was called ultimately stretch
ed across Canada from the Atlantic
ond of Hudsons strait to the shores
of the Pacific As rent for this ter
ritory covering 2S00000 square miles
the company paid to the king each
year two elks and two black bea
vers
Something over forty years ago the
Canadian confederation took over the
companys monopoly for 3001000 but
the company retained a twentieth part
of its lands The original capital of
the company was 10500 and in two
centuries its income from furs was
20000000
But the mostamazing gift ever made
since the world began was surely that
made by James I to Lord Stirling the
poet who was then his favorite On
Sept 21 1G21 King James who must
have been extraordinarily deficient in
geography made Lord Stirling then
Sir William Alexander a present of
the whole of Canada The gift which
included Nova Scotia and Newfound
land was confirmed by Charles L and
the poet was so moved by tho high
honor that he received that he pub

Nebraska Experiment Station Gets Best Results From Hopes
Yellow Dent With Learning a Close Second Rate
and Time ot Planting
By C W Pugsley Professor of Agronomy and Farm Management Ne
braska Experiment Station
widespread interest which is
TKE aroused in the silo and
the uses of ensilage warrants
Its thorough discussion
It is easy to theorize and to even
advance what seem to be plausible
reasons for taking certain stands
but it is harder to demonstrate that
these stands are right in every re
spect The demand for agricultural
knowledge has been so pit during
the last few years that ag
writers have been tempted to give to
the public as facts what seems rea
sonable Some things which look nice
at a distance will not bear close In
spection It is only by careful and
painstaking work that we are able to
get down to the bottom of matters and
build agriculture upon that solid
foundation which it deserves
The matter of growing corn for the
silo is one of the subjects which
comes in this class In order to get
some statistics which would be of
value I wrote to twelve experiment
stations in an effort to find out if pos
sible some absolute facts in refer
ence to the things pertaining to the
growing of the corn The first thing
to be considered should be the variety
of corn Of the twelve states respond
ing those in the east all favored
large and late varieties and a number
of them mentioned St Charles White
far seems the best and the Learning
which is high up in the scale are both
corns well adapted to this section of
the country for grain purposes
The rate of planting is the best
thing to be considered in connection
with the growing ensilage The sta
tions report on this particular point
range as follows Nine states plant
one fourth thicker than for grain pur
poses two states plant one half thick
er and one state plants one third
thicker This particular point will be
taken up by the Nebraska Experiment
station next year in connection with
the continuation of a test carried on
last year The varieties used will be
the most promising of the sixteen
tested during the last season The
following quotations from Hoards
Dairyman may throw some light on
this subject Professor Haecker of
rfee Minnesota Experiment Station
gets admirable results by sowing corn
so thickly that small or no ears devel
op The analysis of this corn is about
the same as that which has developed
ears and can be accounted for in this
way The plant takes up its nutri
ents from the soil and when the ears
start to form the elements are taken
from the stalk for the purpose of
forming the ear and very little if any
nutriment is taken from the soil after
this period
BUILD THE SILO WITH THE IDEA OF CONVENIENCE IN MIND
as being grown extensively One
state said that St Charles White was
shipped in in carload lots from Mis
souri and was known in that state as
silo corn In all of the central west
ern states the varieties used were the
same as those grown in the localities
where the silos are located In fact
the stations recommended that the
farmers should use the same varieties
as they were using on their farms for
the production of grain
Last year an experiment was started
by the Department of Agronomy and
Farm Management and the Dairy De
partment of the Nebraska Experiment
Station to determine if possible what
variety would prove best for ensilage
It is planned to have all of the sam
ples analyzed both at the time of
filling the silo and when they are
taken out and fed to the stock during
the winter Naturally we do not have
the analysis of these varieties at hand
for the Dairy Department is just
now beginning to feed the ensilage
used for this test There were six
teen varieties grown and there was
quite a considerable difference in the
yield from the different plats A half
acre plat was taken as the standard
The variety which stood at the top
was Hogues YellowDent This vari
ety has been carefully grown on the sta
tion farm for a number of years The
second in the list was Learning grown
from seed secured about forty miles
from the station from a careful corn
breeder
Whether tha variety yielding the
largest amount of dry weight is the
best for ensilage purposes cannot be
determined by the data at hand The
feeding tests with the cows and the
chemical analysis may show quite a
considerable difference
The work of other stations in the
central west and one years experi
ment at the Nebraska station seem to
indicate that the variety best adapted
to ensilage purposes here would be
the one grovm longest in the locality
The Hogues Yellow Dent which so
From what has been done at other
stations and from the experience of
the majority of practical farmers it
seems safe to conclude that corn for
ensilage purposes may well be planted
somewhat thicker than where it is
wanted for grain In producing corn
for market the yield of grain is the
test of its usefulness In producing
corn for ensilage the yield of nutri
ents in both stalk and ear will deter
mine the value of the variety There
is considerable feeding value in every
stalk and blade of corn and it seems
quite probable that it is more econom
ical to produce digestible nutrients
by growing more of the stalk and leaf
than by attempting to get a variety of
corn which will yield a large number
of first class ears
The next thing to be considered is
the time of planting This depends
somewhat upon the use to which the
ground is to be put after the corn is
taken off If it is desired to seed win
ter wheat early planting would be ad
vantageous A corn plant usually has
a definite time for maturing depend
ing somewhat upon the condition of
the season Lack of rain will make
the plant mature earlier but the time
of filling the silo will depend largely
upon the variety of corn used and the
rate at which it Is planted in the
spring From the replies received
from other stations eleven of the
Hvelve states recommended planting
at the same time as for field corn
One state farther south Kentucky
plants the ensilage corn three weeks
later It is the custom among prac
tically all Nebraska farmers to plant
the ensilage corn at the same time as
the corn for grain purposes and with
our present information this is to be
recommended as the best method
Ensilage corn should be planted as
close to the silo as possible for this
will reduce by quite a per cent the
labor of filling the silo A short haul
will enable one or two less teams and
drivers to be used
the same The fly often escapes blame
when he is really the guilty one
