There are corn huskers and fodder
cutters with a capacity of 200 to 800
bushels of corn per day and requiring
six to eight men to manage the same.
An Indiana correspondent of The Ma
tional Stockman who has had his shock
corn handled by one of these machines
thus describes it: The large size has a
capacity of from 200 to 800 bushels per
day, owing to corn and time of year.
With low wheeled trucks, two or three
hands and teams will deliver the fodder
to the machine, one man and team with
two wagons will care for the husked
corn, and one man with the aid of the
16 foot elevator will care for the chaffed
fodder.
The machine has two swapping rollers
that mash the stalk, and the four knives
tear it in pieces, so that there are no
whole sections to hurt the mouths of
stock. The husks that are taken off by
the husking rollers are not cut, but are
elevated with the fodder, and the corn
is elevated into the wagon without any
hand work. AS soon as the corn will
keep in small bulk your fodder is ready
if you will be sure of one thing-avoid
all foreign moisture, The sap that is in
the stalk will not injure it if you tramp
it down and do not stir it. 1t will heat,
but do not modest it, and it keeps very
we'll, coming out little dark, but stock
relish it as they do silage.

Select sweet Corn while Husking.

The progressive farmer always breeds
form his choicest stock and plants seeds
selected from the very best Of the crop.
By this means he overcomes the con-
slant tendency to degeneration and Sc
cures strains of varieties and breeds
which are best adapted to the soil and
climate of his farm. This is especially
true of maize, of which only the best
filled ears from vigorous stalks should
be used for seed. AT husking time this
selection can be made to the greatest
antage. Whenever choice ear from
:, ,,ood stalk is found, the husker should
throw it into separate pile or into
the front part of the wagon. When un-
loading, these best ears may be thrown
into barrels or boxes, and when resorted
may be stored in dry room for the
winter. Such continuously selected seed
corn will soon make a neighborhood
reputation for yearly improvement. -

What One Hen Can Do.

A hen can't pillow corn, hoe cotton or
split wood, but she can get there just
the same. She doesn't cost more than
drink of whisky and plug Of tobacco,
but she can pay 8 per cent interest on
$25 in a year and pay her board be-
Sides The fellow who thinks a hen
can't make money doesn't know much
about hen, says we'll known south
ern authority in the Texas Farm and
Ranch. He says: Take an old speckled
hen, for instance, that has had no rails
ing at all, one that's N@9n thrown out
of the corncrib, knocked off the porch
with broom and chased out of the
garden by worthless pup. Just take
that sort of an old fashioned hen, and
let's see.
She lays at least % eggs on a stretch
and then goes to sitting on 13 of her
eggs. The other dozen pay her keep
while she turns eggs into chickens and
while she is scratching for them after
they are Matched and before being wean-
ed That sort of a hen generally hatch
es 10 out of the IS eggs and raises eight
of them, that sell for 80. But we must
knock Off 81 for their raising and put
only 81 dollar aside to the credit of old
Speck, who loafs about awhile, and then
she lays another two dozen eggs and
sits again and raises another lot Of
eight chickens, that sell for SO more,
and so we pay off again and put another
dollar to the credit Of our old hen.
Well, then it's long toward midsum-
mer, and she loafs awhile, and then she
takes another laying spell, and lays an
other 25 eggs, and then sits again, and
brings on fall brood that sell as be-
fore, and we credit her with another
dollar, the half Of the produce of an
other hatch Of eight chickens, which
makes 50 to her credit over and above
all expenses.
Then she lays little more and sheds
her feathers and knocks about and
scratches for living until toward the
holidays, when she takes another spell
Of laying and lays good lot of eggs
by Christmas and quits, but doesn't sit
because it is too cold But along about
February she sets in again and lays
right sharply for month or more until
she is around to the time where she
started in last year, and in footing up
we find she has paid all expenses and
So besides in 10 months, pretty good
showing for a % cent hen.

Feeding the Manure Pile.

Every progressive stock farmer real
ICES the possibility of enriching the ma
nure pile by feeding the stock heavily
ON rich food. The difference between
tho flooding end "manurial" values
of bran or cornmeal is pretty well I'M
derstood Why not go step further and
realize the possibility of feeding the
manure pile as we'll as the COW? asks
Rural New Yorker:
Feed as heavily as you may, the sta
BILE manure will contain too much nj
trogen in proportion to the potash and
phosphoric acid. By adding phosphate
and muriate of potash to the manure
you greatly improve it. This is both
practical and scientific. 1t is just as
legitimate as any other feeding. Take
our advice and try it. In sheep farming
especially some form of potash added
to the manure is needed. A ton Of un-
washed wool takes away from the farm
$50 pounds of potash and the urine Of
sheep contains nearly five times as much
potash as does that of cattle.

DIFFERENT FORMS OF NITROGEN.

Practical "Home Mixers" on the Advan-
tage Of Several Forms In One Mixture.
1t is claimed by some manufacturers
that there is an advantage in using sew
eral forms of nitrogen--say mineral and
organic-in the same mixture Apropos
Of this, the query was asked In The
Rural New Workers. farmers club for
experience showing the advantages. For
example, will plain mixture of ground
bone and muriate do as well for pota
toes as q moro complicated mixture?
The experience of one New Jersey
farmer led him to use several forms of
nitrogen, because he did not consider
the nitrogen from ground bone avail
able enough for the potato crop. 1t
might answer in wet year, but it Ger
tainly would not such O season as this
has been.
Another New Jersey farmer regarded
the nitrogen in ground bone as too slow
ly soluble to be of much use to the early
potato crop unless the season should
prove to be both wet and warm. Even
for late potatoes he wants at least half
Of the nitrogen to come from nitrate Of
soda or dried blood. He uses plain
mixture of bone and muriate for corn.
A part Of the nitrogen for this crop is
obtained from the clover sod plowed
down.
Three Connecticut farmers related
their experiences in the matter. One Of
these uses only one form, the organic,
in his mixture and finds it satisfactory.
His fertilizer is made of acid phosphate,
muriate and tankage, and he claims
that it is as good as any special manure
that costs $40 per ton. The second
farmer thought it paid to use different
forms.
He says that nitric nitrogen acts very
quickly and helps to start crop, while
the organic form is more lasting and
keeps the crop growing. He uses 200
pounds nitrate Of soda to the ton and
finds that is about the right proportion.
Blood, bone and meat or tankage are
better than all bone unless the bone is
ground very fine. For seeding, the bone
and muriate would do, but for growing
crops he always uses both forms of nj.
trogen. The remaining farmer also ad-
vocated the employment Of several
forms of nitrogen in one mixture.
Ground bone and muriate would not
cause vigorous geowth in the potato
plant or tuber either, but with the ad-
dition of nitrogen in the form Of nitrate
Of soda for starting the crop and blood,
bone and meat which decomposes and
furnishes plant food later, he expects
good results.

GREENHOUSE OPERATIONS.
Start Everything In Flats, Then Prick the
Plants Out on Benches.

Oub BenCheB.
Even the most unpretentious rural
home should have place for forcing
vegetables, if it be nothing more than
box or keg or a large pot containing a
few roots of parsley aud set in or near
a kitchen or collar window. Some fresh
parsley sprigs come always handy to
put in soups or for garnishing, and the
provisions for growing little bit OF
this green stuff are easily made. The
model rural home, however, needs a
greenhouse, be it ever so small. With
out an opportunity to grow vegetables
and plants under glass when the ground
outdoors is deeply frozen or covered foot
deep with SNOW, one necessary feature of
perfect home gardening is missing
A little greenhouse is not only n
source of pleasure, but it affords sub
stantial blessings in fresh lettuce, rad
ishes soup, carrots, green onions, mus
tard greens, parsley, asparagus rhubarb
mushrooms and water crosses, all win
ter long All find full appreciation in
our kitchen department. Any surplus of
course, is readily salable. A writer i'll
the most out of every inch of available
space on and under the benches and on
the north wall besides He says:
Our plan is to start everything in
flats even radishes, grow them as largo
as admissible in this way and then
prick the good sized plants out on the
benches. But even then we plant let
tuce close and afterward thin gradual
ly to the proper distances. When they
begin to crowd one another, we remove
every other plant alternately in the
rows. They are not very large at this
time, but tender and crisp and highly
appreciated when they come ON the ia
BILE. The remaining plants are now
about seven inches apart each way.
They are allowed to grow until they
again begin to crowd one another for
room, when they are as large as the
forced lettuce usually found in our
markets The commercial grower would
now gather and sell the whole crop, but
where we want continuous supply
and some extra large plants besides we
remove only every other row, leaving
the remaining plants ten inches apart
each way. Just as soon as the bed is en-
tirely cleared another lot of plants, let
tuce, radishes or whatever they may be
is put in.
In open air operations l aim to avoid
transplanting wherever possible, prefer
ring to SOW many seeds, such as lettuce,
cabbage and cauliflower, in drills and to
thin the plants to the proper distance
instead of starting them in seed beds or
flats and transplanting to their perma-
nent place in the field. A similar course
in the greenhouse or hotbed would leave
large amount Of space unoccupied for
long periods. This would not do.

wintering Bees In the Ground.

Attention is called in The Experiment
Station Record to experiments on shell
tering bees from the cold of winter by
burying the hives in the earth, Holes
were dug, the hives, stocked with hon
ey, placed i'll them and the soil packed
around them. In the first experiment,
1901, the bees died from insufficient
food.
In the subsequnt trials in 1898 and
1894 more honey was supplied, and
the result proved successful, much
smaller proportion of the bees being
dead, after three months interment,
than in the hives that had wintered
above gre und. There appeared to be no
loss from suffocation.

One Way to Bury Cabbage.

Take an empty barrel-a salt or sug-
ar barrel will do very well; dig hole
sufficiently urge and deep SO that a few
inches of the barrel will project above
the ground when it is put in position.
Now bank the soil around the barrel SO
that it will be ON level with the top
of the barrel and sloping in all direc-
lions from it, Then cut the stalks of
the cabbage off close to the heads and
put cabbage into the barrel so that the
stalk part of the cabbage will be upper
most. Thus continue until the barrel is
full. Then cover with lid which will
turn water, made of inch lumber,
Cabbage buried in this manner in the
fall will keep till quite late in the
spring, and besides this it can be got at
any time in the winter without any
trouble according to correspondent of
The Agricultural Epitomist, who has
buried cabbage in quite number OF
different ways The object i'll having
the embankment slope away from the
barrel is to prevent surface water from
getting into it.
