The ear is the most valuable part Of
the corn crop for the western farmer,
but there is great value in the slower or
fodder Hence it is important to know
whether we can obtain both these values
in full, or whether obtaining full value
of the one necessitates a decrease in the
value Of the other. A report from the
Iowa station. where experiments were
conducted to decide when to cut corn so
as TO get the most profitable returns
from the crop, makes it appear that
The time to begin cutting corn is when
the blades and husks have begun to dry,
and the cutting should be finished
when half the blades and husks have
dried up. This gives about 10 days for
cutting corn. and the opinion is expressed
that the purpose of economy would be
better served if the ripening could con-
tinue so that the harvest would last but
five days instead of 10.
Considering the value of the slower,
the importance Of having the ears as
ripe rs possible and the large size of the
Iowa cornGelds, tho crying need of the
Iowa farmer is a machine that will har-
vest his corn crop with the same facility
as the present self binder harvests the
smaller grain.

HARVESTING POTATOES.

Lifting the Tubers by NIachinery-Two Dis
tinct Methods Worked Up by Inventors.
The wholesale production Of potatoes
has demanded machinery for simplify
ing the original methods of planting,
hoeing and digging by hand. This de-
mand has been met by our inventors.
The potato planter does the work Of 10
good men dropping by hand. Any of
the good sulky cultivators or light har-
rows will enable a farmer to sit on a
comfortable seat and let his horses do
the hoeing for him. There are machines
that will throw poisoned water on six
rows at time as fast as a team will
walk to protect from potato bugs. The
hardest problem has been to produce a
digger that will not only throw the tu-
bers ont Of the soil, but screen or lift
them from the earth as well.
Two distinct methods have been
worked up by inventors. One is repre-
sented by n large, heavy complicated
machine with cog wheels, shakers,
chains and many parts This is to scoop

up vines, dirt and tubers, shake ont the
former and pass the latter out behind on
the surface Of the ground. These com
plicated machines do good work, the OBJ
iections to them being that they are Of
heavy draft, expensive and so complicat-
ed that the average cost Of repairs is
quite a large item.
The other plan was TO devise a plow
with a simple screening attachment
without expensive fixtures or heavy
weight, q machine that the average
farmer with q single team could handle.
Beginning with the shovel plow with
spikes OF fingers ranged about it, this
idea has been developed until we have
the arrangement shown in the illustra-
ton here reproduced from The Rural
New Yorker, already quoted. In some
of the diggers%he screens are placed be-
hind the plow. This leaves the tubers in
the furrOw. In the machine depicted
the potatoes do not fall behind at all
They are simply plowed to right and
left, falling upon the long screens which
run lightly and easily over the ground.
In a general way, the average farmer
is advised to select the least complicated
machinery, but it must also be borne in
in mind that no machine can give abso-
lutte satisfaction everywhere. There are
potato fields Of all sorts and kinds-stony,
hilly, weedy, wet, hard, soft. One could
hardly expect a digger made especially
for work on level prairie, free from
stones. to do first class work on a stony
New England hillside.

Mr. Hudson nnrs a New Mll .

Ex-President J. Jones Hudson, Of the
Riverside Rolling Mills, who recently
removed to Philadelphia, purchased on
Saturday at sheriif's sale, the entire
PLANT and surroundings Of the Crum
Greek Iron and Steel Works Mr.. Hud-
son was for five years resident Of New
Castle and the most successful manager
that the rolling mills have ever had.
His enterprise as a manufacturer will
undoubtedly make the new establish
ment boom under his management. His
new mills are situated on Crum creek,
and three and four large schooners are
loaded there every week. The "Pennsy"
and the B. q o. railroads have branches
up there. There are FIVE pudding and
one blast furnace in the plant and they
are now being operated under the super
vision Of the former operator. Mr..
Hudson will probably remove his family
TO Ridley Park, as that is the nearest
and prettlest location for him.
