ThraSIt;ng Corn.

Farmers vary somewhat in their ideas
about thrashing corn. A Kansas farmer
who has had experience says that a good
run of corn thrashinS III tho fall means
q new outfit of spikes throughout before
beginning on the next crop Of small
grain. A Wisconsin, man tells that it
the corn is we'll dried IL will thrash out
nearly as fast as small grain, and that
the stock eat the stover better than that
run through a cutter. An Iowa farmer
tells his way in The Farm, Field and
Fireside. He says:
Remove all the teeth from COncayes
unless the corn is damp. In that case
leave in one row of teeth; then rig the
chatter the same as for flax and put III
the oat Or barley sieve, and you are
ready for business. The corn, if fed by
hand, feeds best butts first. The self
feeder is used here, and it works to per-
lection, saving all the corn and cutting
the slower nice and fine.

Two Year Three Crop Rotation.

Following is a report Of a successful
trial of a three crop rotation in two years
Oh the University farm at Columbus, O..
A crop of clover was cut for hay about
June 10 last. The land was plowed
June 1916, put i'll good condition and
planted to corn for fodder and ensilage.
Tho corn was cpt in September, giving
a yield Of about 9ls tons per acre. The
land was easily put i'll condition and
sown to wheat. In this case all old clover
sod was the starting point, but it could
as we'll have been a 1-year-old crop. II
it is desired to continue this rotation,
clover can be sown next spring i'll the
wheat.
1t will be noticed that the ground is
p]owed but once for the three crops. One
objection to the plan is that this p,ow-
ing comes in g busy time and when tto
weather is often hot. The time of plant
ing is late, but not too late to secure a
good crop for ensilage or dry fodder.
Generally little cultivation after the
corr has started would be necessary. If
there should be Il failure to secure a
stand of clover, corn could be planted
earlier in the snring.

Green Bones For Poultry.

Green bones, gristle, flesh, ETC., cut
as fine as sausage meat, is not only great
~ relished by fowls of all ages, but is
undoubtedly a powerful stimulator to
egg production. Great benefit is also de-
rived from feeding liberal ratious Of this
cut bone to growing chicks. 1t contrib
utes to their early maturity, and pull
lets lay earlier in the season when they
have this ration along with other feed.
It is hard work to cut up the green
bones, even with the hand bone cutters,
but those who practice doing it report
that it pays. Farmers who do not pos
sess a bone cutter can get along without
the bone by occasionally cutting up some
butchers scraps aud adding to wheat,
small potatoes boiled, beets, carrots and
cabbages. Others nse bonemeal, stir
ring it in with the usual ration. Others
again buy craclllings from the meatshop
and chop up and feed every other day.
When there is trouble from soft she'll
ed eggs, it may be quickly remedied by
a liberal use of ground raw bone and
oyster shells. Bone and shells may be
fed to fowls from q narrow box nailed
to the side of the coop. 1t is less waste
full than throwing thon on the ground
To use bonemeal beneficially it is nee
essary 10 mix it with the soft food. 70

Sowing Fed Clover.


Red clover seed is usually sown IL
the spring. If sown very carly, yer
frosts afterward may destroy the young
plants. If sown later, there is some
danger that dry weather may come OH
before the young plants have become
we'll rooted. 1t is safer to sow as SOON
as danger of severe freezing is past.
Sowing on a late snow is liked much
by many, as the SNOW helps the sower
to secure uniform distribution of the
seed, and as it melts the snow helps
carry the seed into the soft surface. 1t
is usually difficult to ut once harrow or
roll the soil if the seed is sown early
because of the moisture. If seeding is
delayed, or if the surface is dry enough,
light narrowing Or rolling is desirable.
1t is assumed the soil is in good condi'
ton.
If the ground is in good condition, &c
to IL pounds per acre should be ar
abundance of seed. If the ground is not
we'll prepared, it may be we'll to SOW
more, expecting a considerable percent
age of the seed not to grow. We like
the plan of twice sowing-sowing hal
the seed and then cross sowing with thu
other half. This helps to ecure a NOR
even distribution of the seed. Tn
young plants should be allowed to &c
a fair growth before they are cut o
eaten off, and at no time the first season
should they be closely pastured.

4 Pertinent Question.

A Long Island correspondent thinks
he has solved the wheat problem. He
cut it when in blossom before the ker-
nels formed. 1t was a success. Cows
and horses preferred it to clover hay.
Rural New Yorker, commenting on the
foregoing, asks:
Did it ever occur to you that the total
feeding value i'll the dry straw and hard
grain from an acre of wheat might be
less than that in the same crop when
cut early and cured as hay? There GER
tainly cannot be any less, and we believe
the COW will find more actually digesti-
BILE nutriment in the tender hay than
in the grain and woody straw. In this
case the cost of thrashing is saved,
while haymaking is cheaper than har-
vesting.

More Sorghum Testimony.

A Minnesota farmer tells in Farm aud
Fireside that it is the freezing OF the
green plant which makes second growth
sorghum poisonous to stock. Freezing,
together with warm sun after the frost,
causes the Juice to ferment. This taken
into the stomach while in a state of fer
mentation causes such a rapid accumu
lation of carbonic acid gas that the
stomach is distendyd and intamed, caus
ing great pain. Finally all of the intes-
tines are involved, with extreme suffer
ing. and death nsues

MAKING BEESWAX.
4 New and Easy Process as Described by
= Southern Beekeeper.

a New and Easy Process as described Oy
= southern Beekeeper.
/ have Just discovered a new and easy
way to make beeswax, and just as fine
wax as can be made by the solar plan
no difference how old and tough the
combs are.
Take a half barrel and arrange cloth
so that it will swing down about half
way of the barrel. Any strong porous
cloth will do, Or wire cloth is good.
Then boil tho old combs i'll a copper or
tin vessel till all is thoroughly heated,
putting the combs right into the water,
just as if you were going to cook it.
Have some clean, boiling water i'll an
other vessel-enough to fill the half bar
rel one-third full. Pour the boiling wa.
ter into the half barrel first, then pou1
the melted combs, water and all, into the
strainer. Cover up the barrel with two
thicknesses of gunny sacking, let it alone
for a day or tive, then go around when
you are ready for the wax, loosen the
hoops so as to let cut the water and you
will feel astonished to see how nearly
| all the wax is drained out.
The larger the amount of combs you
have the larger barrel you will need.
The hot water in the barrel keeps the
whole contents no. for - hours, gives
all the dirt and dregs time to settle to
the bottom, the wax cools SO slowly that
it does not crack, the slaves of the bar
rel spread out and leave the a All
in all, it is the easiest way to make
beeswax, aside from the solar plan, that
I know Of, and can be dono at any time
Of the year, and no combs are too old or
tough to work, as with the solar plan.
And then VIC have Our wax thoroughly
cleaIscd at enc operation.
If you will only give this plan q trial,
you will find tnat you can dOaW0y with
a whole lot cf muss and bothera and the
whole operation of making = to 81
pounds Of wax need not take moro thul>
one hour Of your time.

Changing Size of Hive Entrance.

The editor of The American Bee Jonr-
nal says: As a matter of actual practice,
l think most beekeepers leave the en-
trance the same the year round, al
though those who winter in cellars and
who do not give upward ventilation pre-.
fer to have the entrance much enlarged
while in the cellar, even to taking away
the bottom board entirely. If there is
any time when it seems profitable to
lessen the entrance, I should say it is
when first flights begin in spring, so as
to save the heat as much as possible for
breeding purposes.

TIE FARM GARBAGE.

Disposing OF the Sewage From the Farm
house-The Objectionable Swill Barrel.
In reply to a query ~propounded by
Rural New Yorker as to the best method
Of disposing of sewage from the farm,
several answers were elected. A CORE
spondept who favored tho cesspool
wrote: The best material for use i'll car
rying the sewage from the farm home
is glazed sewer pipe, which should be
at least 6 inches in diameter and extend
ed nc less than 200 feet away from both
house and we'll. The pipe may empty
into a cesspool, both pipe and pool to be
covered with earth to the depth of ~
to 3 feet. The advantage of this method
is that tho disagreeable sight and odor
are disposed of. The disadvantage is
that it will certainly contamlnate we'll
water, providing it is near and below the
pool. To avoid this difficulty run the
drain pipe in such a direction that the
natural flow of the water in the ground
will not come in contact with the sewage
and carry it to tho we'll.
A correspondent who thinks that sew
ers or house drains have no place on the
farm because the waste Of the household
is of feeding and nominal value said:
Tho water of the weekly wash ! value
highly, and every drop finds its way
into bowl shaped hollOws about cherry,
pear, plum and apple trees. Kitchen

allowed to stand a short time, it fer
mcnts or putreties and is then III tit con-
dition to cause the severest bowel dis
