similar in London, but its like in the

hundred years ago in "the stallion

the agricultural fairs, which were in
vogue in tho blue grass section as far back
as 20 years. These grew into popularity
and became the fashion and remained
so until about the commencement of
the war between the states, but after
the cessation of hostilitics there came
tho avalanche of fairs. There was
money in it. Every county in the Unit
ed States had it's fair, with brass bands
and fake advertisements. The people
were worked for all there was in it, but
III the course of time they all died un-
der the common rule, and everything
was done to resuscitare them under the

Ct)RN FOR THE SILO.
How the Corn Crop May BE Disposed Of
at u Good Profit.

The popularity Of corn as an cnsilage
crop is not li}Icly to decline until some
superior plant is found to take it's place.
By virtue Of its largo yields, great feed
ing value and the wide range Of soils
and climates whore it can be produced,
corn stands prc-cminently the great en-
silage crop Of the country. The com
crop can always be disposed Of at IL good
profit if one uses it for feeding either
green in the field or in the cnsilage form
later in the season. Sometimes the grain
is SO cheap that the growers claim there
is no longer amy profit in corn. Never
theless it is and always will be the great
crop of this country. Those who depend
upon corn alone, however, must take
cry specialist encounters. Asurplus crop
means low prices and almost ruin to
many farmers; u small crop means high
prices, but Il small amount Of produce
to sell. Between these two extremes
many farmers mako IL fair living, but
each year knowing that uncertainty is
ahead.
Corn culture is sure enough now t.
make every farmer feel confident that
he can raise Il fair crop vel III dry sea-
sons, but he never has the same conf
dence in the markets. His whole crop Of
fine, we'll nl&tured orr may bring ii,
only a little more than enough to pay
for expenses. What is he to do in SUCH
q case? Prairie Farmer says:
This would not be if more corn were
raised fer feeding directly at home. A

his eggs n such a risky basket. Where
corn grows naturally. as i'll the corn

them. This is the only sensible view
that any farmer can take. During tho
past srason farmers. for the want OF
ready money, have sold corn that would
not net them IL dollar in profit. But il

ready money would have been obtained.
and more of it. Wheat and corn can b'
used i'll other ways than selling to thC
marketman. The low pric" Of wheat
this season has taught many a good les
son, and it is to be hoped that corr
growers Will see Il light for them in tho
same experience. Corn must be RAISED

Plotting Them.
The usual rule for half mile tracks is
to have the stretches and turns of equal
length. If the same rule is observed in
laying out a third ii Il mile track, each
stretch and turn should measure 44O
feet. Therefore two stakes should H.
driven where IN Of the stretches is pro.
posed to be located, 4!O feet apart. The
opposite stretch then should be >takcd
out, parallel to the first, and PA feet
across at either end. A wire 231 feet in
length should be made fast to a post
placed equally distant from the end Of
either stretch, and the turns staked as
directed in laying nut other tracks. The
wire should be accurately measured,
which may best be done with Il long
steel tape measure. Sufficient length
should be allowed SO that several turns
may be made around a stick at the end,
and also a loop to slipovcr a spike to be
driven in the upper end Of the turning
stake. One end Of the Wire should bc
taken and placed upon the stake at the
end Of the stretch, while an assistant
with the other ciI1 proceeds toward the
end Of the opposite stretch. When the
Wire has been tightly drawn. the turn.

After the circuit has been made and the
stakes driven for the turn the novice
will probably l." surprised to find the
wire is from & to- IS inches too long
from stretching, If this should lie the
case, it should b" shortened, SO that il
will exactly reach the stake at tie end
Of the stretch, and the turn be corrected.
After the track is Lid ont it should al

In very arid climates it is IL good
plan, whenever a bed is sown with

Where the soil is light and contains
plenty of manure or vegetable humus, a
writer in The Irrigation Age says that
the best results are obtained by leaving
