Bran Denrer Than Wheat.

The value Of bran as food has been
so greatly exaggerated by some agri-
cultural writers that the demand has
put 1T beyond the reach of farmers
who are not carried away by this new
fad. In truth, bran as made nova
days is mainly the husk of the wheat
grain, and it is not worth nearly so
much as it used to be when much Of
the gluten went with it. Then bran
was really valuable. Now, though
worth but little, it sometimes sells
at more per pound than does wheat
A Canada farmer took a few bushels
of wheat to mill and intended to re-
turn with load of bran. He found
the bran was sly per ton, or nearly
a cent pound, while his wheat
would hardly bring as much. He
has concluded hereafter to use ground
whole wheat and leave bran TO the
fancy farmers who may prefer it,

with large, heavy ears, are very diff
cult to handle. Many devices have
been gotten up to aid in handling
this fodder, and one of the best
which we have seen is low-down

by r. p. Stump of the Ohio State
University Farm, as follows
The plan is to fit the ordinary

veniently a fair load, 1t requires
for material two pieces Of pine

the outfit, though the chain is not

this rack extremely convenient for

his corn and draws it to the barn to

Owning vs.. Renting land.

Statistics show even in the West
that a large proportion of farmers
rent instead of owning their land.
1t is probably due to the retirement
OF those who have passed the three
score and ten limit, and yet hold on
to their farms as a safe means of Sc
curing revenue tor their remaining
days. We cannot believe that the
renters will not buy tho farms If they
have a good chance. The money is
safer on a mortgage than the rent
would be. When man works rented
land there is constant temptation to
take from it all he can and leave it
poorer than he found 1t. Ownership
gives an interest to make the farm
better, and this is the condition that
is best for both parties. American

Corn Suokers.

Nothing of late years is said about
the once common p:actice of sucker
ing corn. that is removing the suck
ers so as to give the main stalk bet
ter chance. 1t was always practice
of doubtful advantage, and cost a
great deal of labor that could be bet
ter employed. The corn that pro-
duces the most suckers is that whose
early growth was stunted. When
midsummer heats come on, develop
ing more plant food in the soil than
the single stalk could dispose of, one

utilize the surplus Sometimes ears

Uneven Stands of Corn.

No small part of the failure of corn
to make good crop comes from poor
seed. 1t operates in two ways The
farmer who doubts his seed is
tempted to plant more in a hill,
thiHklng that some may not germi-
nate. If half the seed failed entirely
the crop would be better. But poor
seed does not operate that way If
its vitality is wholly destroyed the
appearance Of the seed shows it, and
it is usually rejected. The conse-
Quence is that the hill has Number
of feeble stalks crowding each other
so that not one in the hill can set an
ear The poor seed ought not to have
more than two stalks in hill, and
if the soil is poor also, thinning to
one stalk would be better still

Increased Trade of the South.

Very significant, indeed are the
figures of the bureau Of statistics
showing the exports from the United
States in the eleven months ended
May 81, 1894. The total was 1884, 000,-
900, against 1882, OO0,O 900 in the like
period of the preceding year, an in
crease of s52, 900, 900. But more than
half of this increase was in exports
from the South, showing the decided
revival of business activity in that
section. The exports from Southern
ports. aggregated 1885, 100000 or

Home Bred Cows.

A cow bred on the farm where 1t is
to be kept is more Contented and will
give better results than she will on a
strange place. This is a strong point
in favor of breeding cows for the
dairy. instead OF relying on purchas-
ing them. Besides it is every year
becomisg more difficult to buy cows
of the best milking strains in the
numbers required for any dairy.
The value of the lest COWS lie more
highly Appreciated and they bring
prices that make it pay for breeding
them. BY using a thoroughbred bull
a herd of natives may be improved
rapidly. and this increase in value Of
the herd makes the farming prOfita-
bic, even though the dairyman gets
little above his current expenses in
sales of milk, butter, and cheese.
