IL w corn is frequently alluded tc
by writers of the agricultural press, ana
not few readers are puzzled thereby.
The "B & W. is simply a trade mark

that is raised in that state, collected and
taken charge of by the agents of Burril
& Whitman, Little Falls, y. y. and by
them furnished to those who sell it in

most vigorously cultivated. and must
have besides a good corn year" to grow
in, or the caring will not amount to
much. But it grows from ten to four
teen feet high and makes wilderness
of most excellent fodder. Hoards Dairy
man believes that it is still an open
question with some of the Wisconsin
dairymen, whether they get the most
feeding value from twenty tons of b &
w per acre, with no ears, or from a biz
crop of dent corn that will ear and
rlpen. Most of them still take both.

Raising Turkeys,

Common hen turkeys crossed with a

duce good strong turkeys. Each hen, if
well cared for, will lay from thirty to
forty eggs. Don't set a hen turkey on
over sixteen eggs. When the Young ones
are Matched, don't give them any food
for at least one.day. Feed the hen whole
corn and keep her ON her nest. When
You commence feeding the young ones,
feed them very often--as often as every
hour will be all the better. Make their
rations Scanr and often. The feed at
first should be coarse corn meal. TO which
add a mixture of milk and raw eggs.
After two or three days feed vegetables.

observe, there will be no difficulty in

add that in damp autumns matured corn
often weighs 20 to 25 per cent. more
when first harvested than after drying

reason why some reports give over a

The copious manuring or top dressing
so important for the successful growth
and fine bearing Of apple trees, might
destroy cherry tree, a peach tree will
bear free cutting back to bring it into
good shape; a cherry tree may be seriously
injured by such pruning during the
growing season, and sometimes the trees
are killed by it, Free manuring of
dwarf pear trees is absolutely essential,
and with some standards it makes the
difference between large, fine, delicious
specimens and small ones. The cherry

curiosity of tho farmers to see this new
variety Of sheep that he decided to ex-
hibit them publicly ON given day, IN

The exhibition was a great success.
'If two animals are capable Of excjtinc,
so much attention, what would be the
effect on large scale, with large ami
mals:' thought Mr.. Watson, aud from
that time forward for the next fifteen
years his attention was devoted to tho
subject Of agricultural fairs. IN 1910 he
induced some twenty or more farmers To
join with him in call for the first Berll-
Shire county cattle show. The eXhibi-
ton proved very successful. The inter
est awakened BY this fair resulted in the
formation OF Il county agricultural soci-

sets III the winter Of 1911, the first county
agricultural society in A1rerica, of the

The question Of relative profit as be-
tween the use Of small cuttings and
whole potatoca depends upon the cost Of
seed potatoes, the date at which the crop
is to be harvested and sold and the CON
dition of the soil at planting time. In
ordinary practice it will usually be found
that neither extreme as to quantity of
seed used will be found to be profitable.
The safest plan is to use large, well ma
ture3, healthy potatoes and cut to two
and three eyes. A sufficient quantity Of
flesh to the eyes acts much the same as
manure in the hill.

Intelligent farmers claim that the diff
ference between the effects of fail spread
manure and spreading in the spring is
about % per cent. of the product in favor
Of the former.
The second point considered is that
cultivating and mellowing the soil be
fore planting has an important bearing
on the successful growth, as well as for
facilitating easy and thorough cultiva-
ton. In a word, proper preparation of
the soil makes the difference between
working the crop among weeds, grass
and clods on one hand Zig. u, and in a
fine, clean, well pulverized ground Fig.
y. Thorough undertakings is another
all important point, as any one may see
in wet season, when dry knobs bear
rank growth of stalks and ears in con
trast with the puny growth in the low
and wet spots. A large amount of labor
may be avoided by doing as much of the
cultivating with horse labor, beginning
with the smoothing harrow before the
corn is up, ard afterward until foot
high, the teeth passing in among the
plants and cleaning out all weeds lust as
they reach the surface On strong and
clayey soils care must be taken not TO
use the cultivator when the ground is
wet after rain so as to adhere otherwise

Will do more harm than good.
