Harvesting the Corn Crop.

There is serious loss in harvest
ing corn in the usual way of pulling
fodder and plucking the ears. Some
recent Experiment Station work serves
to bring this out in relief. Mr.. ]. H.
Patterson, of the Maryland Station,
publishes some matter showing the To-
cation of the dry matter of the corn
plant in three crops examined. CoeH-
clients of digestibility are given, with
composition and total digestible pro-
duct of ears, topped fodder, blades,
husks and stubble. The results show
the ears and blades to have been only
$3.50 per cent of the dry matter of the
crop. The other parts usually neg
lected by our farmers consequently
amount to 49.41 per cent, or at least
one-half.
Of the digestible matter $500 per
cent only was contained in ears and
blades. Thus nearly As per cent of the
digestible matter of the crop would be
lost by taking only ears and blades
from the field
rich in carbohydrates, is greatly in
creased by feeding with highly nitro
genous materials, such as cotton seed
meal. So it would be possible for one
to get almost as much digestible food
out of the corn stalk left to rot in the
field as is saved from the crop in ears
and pulled fodder.
The simplest way to get the most
food out of the corn crop is to cut close
to the ground with short-handled hoes
at about the time the fodder would be
.pdled, and cure in a silo. Lacking
the silo, cut the corn in the same way
few days later, or about the time fod-
der is generally pulled, and shock in
the field. Put 400 to 600 pounds in a
shock, and stand the butts out open
enough to make the shock stand firm
land let in the air to dry the corn. Bind
the tops tight to hold together and
keep out rain.
When cured. shock out the ears, and
cut what is left, known as stovers 1.-THE
stalks, blades and shucks), into inch
lengths. Feed to cows or work teams
with cotton seed meal, wheat bran, or
such other heterogeneous materials as
can be most readily obtained. For
nearly balanced ration, feed one pound
of meal to four of stover and two OF
oat straw. The stover alone, fed free
ly, will support an animal at rest and
not giving milk. F. E. EAERY,
Agricuiturist. n. C. Exp Statian

These pests settle on the coat of tho
animal, in some place where they can
not be reached by the tail or tongue,
and then they bite and suck the blood.
They often swarm in such vast num-
bers that the animals are rapidly de-
pleted in flesh. Milk cows, especially
thin-skinned Jerseys, suffer cruelty,
and often fall off one-half or more in
milk. The insect does not seem to
trouble horses or other animals.
This fly lays its eggs In the fresh
droppings of cows, and these hatch In
to tiny whitish maggots, which live
in the dung three or four days: They
then burrow a half inch or 80 into the
ground beneath the manure, and re-
main quiet for about five days, at the
end of which they emerge as winged
flies. The number of generations in q
season will depend upon its length.
In the South there may be twelve or
fifteen.
This fly has a habit Of settling
around the base of the cows horns,
which has led to many absurd stories
about its eating the horn. The fly has
no jaws. It can pierce with its lance.
and suck with it's proboscis, but never
Injuries parts except where blood may
be found. It settles upon the horns to
rest, as the COW cannot easily dislodge
them from this place. When after food
it settles, by preference, between the
shoulders, along the belly and udder.
Also, along the escutcheon," and at
base of tail.
Remedies: Remove all fresh drop
pings as soon as possible from stable.
In pastures it will pay to send a man
through every two or three DAYS, and
sprinkle kerosene oil or emulsion on
all fresh droppings. Fresh powdered
lime will do as we'll, but lime decom-
poses the nitrates. and causes the loss
of the most valuable part of the ma
nure.
AS preventive measures, rub the
parts where the flies most congre-
gate with axle grease, or tallow, to
which has been added little crude
carbolic acid, or use fish oil. This will
drive the flies away, but the appGca-
ton must be renewed once a week.

The insects are the corn bil1-bug,
(sphenophorous sculptilis.) This is q
semi-aquatic insect, which breeds in
rotten, wet wood. It is never trouble
some on high or dry ground. The rem
edy is drainage where possible, keep
ing low fields free from rotten wood,
and planting corn only on uplands
in localities where this insect is known
to be troublesome. To save the pres
emit crop small handful of the kero-

Facts For Farmers.

A bulletin was written to be read by
farmers. The subject was one which
all farmers wish to learn more about,
and was chosen for that purpose. It
was written from the farmers stand
point and will be supplied free to all
farmers who write for it. If you do
not want it, don't send for it.
The bulletin is No. 70, of "a pages,
recently issued by the N. c. Agricultu-
raj Experiment Station at Raleigh.
Every man who farms should become
acquainted with the structure of plants
and the forces exerted by them in
growing; how they take up food from
the soil and air, and how they store it
away, and the best plans for their cul-
tivation and care; how stable manure
may be preserved and utilized; how
lime acts upon the soil, and what soils
are most benefited by it's application.
All these are treated in plain, practical
way in this bulletin. Green manuring
is also fully described, as well as the
value of recuperative crops and the
proper rotation of crops. Some may
say that discussion of these matters
is not truly experimental in their char
acter, and does not belong in the bulle-
tins of an experiment station. It is
pretty we'll settled, however, from the
favor with which the farmers have re.
ceived this bulletin, that they appreci.

QUESTIONS AND REPLIES.

all questions to the IN. C. Agricultural
Experiment Station, Raleigh, N. c."
Replies will be written as early as pos
sib1e by the member of the Station
staff most competent to do so, and,
when of general interest, they will also
appear in these columns. The Station
expects, in this way, to enlarge its
sphere of usefulness and render great
assistance to practical farmers.

Farnaera Who Read.

There are now on the mailing lists
of the N. C. Agricultural Experiment
Station, which have just been revised,
5000 names of farmers from North
Carolina. The bulletins are mailed
free to those who request them and
show their appreciation by reading
them. Ali the newspapers in the state
receive each publication of the Station
as it is issued, as well as various news
notes which interest the general read
er. The bulletins contain matters
which are of immediate interest and
value to the agriculturists of the State
and are written in plain language for
unscientific readers. Agriculture is
based on science, and accordingly sci.
entific matters necessarily receive at
tention at the Station. The result OF
these scientific experiments are not
included in the general bulletin issue,
but are printed in technical bulletins,
sent only to scientists, and those who
especially request them. Summaries
Of the technical work appear in the
general bulletins Of the Station. Pub
locations are sent free to all within the
limits of North Carolina upon applica-
ton; to others a small fee is charged.

Cure and the Stalk Processes. Gives a
description in 80 pages of the test to
show the comparative results of the
two methods of curing yellow tobacco.
The leaf cure gave tobacco which sold
at S63. IA for the half acre tested, while
the stalk cure gave $500. Extracting
the cost of curing, &C., not common to
each, there was net value of $40. 66 for
the half-acre in favor of the leaf cure.
