for the drouth, if we are ia have an

long time ago AS being just what we
needed to get the water out Of the
ditch or creek and onto the surface.
Rather late in the day. but We went
TO work and made a double pump. as
follows: One piece XXI, dressed and
exactly four inches wide, eight
feet long; two pieces, Xxi, six feet
long; two boards, lX12. six feet long.
When nailed together. we had each
side Of the 2X4 Il chamber four inches
square and six feet long. The top of
the 2X4 piece was six inches above the
others at the top and eighteen inches
below the others ut the bottom. This
rested on the bottom Of the creek. j
nailed a square piece over each Il At

feet long and a round pin through
each end. After the hole was made i'll
one of the sides to let Il the water
and a wide spout fitted to receive the
discharge from both pumps, it was
ready for work and looked something
like this:

Value of kaIHr Corn.

prOf. George l.. Hotter. chemist 10
the oklahoma experiment station,
writes:
Not very much has been done with
Katfir corn to determine it's value as IA
food product. Analyses made from the
whole plant. sampled at the time the
crop was harvested, give the following
results:
Water, T6.l3 per cent: fat. IS per
cent: fiber. GIG per cent: carbohy-
dratrS, l1.9G per cent; protein. 3.22 per
cent; ash. 1.T5 per cent.
Given Il total yield OF 5I2 tons per
acre we would get: Water. S.374.3
pounds; carbohydrates, 1.3lJG pounds;
protein, 3d.; ash, 1922. This, of
course. is calculated from the green
fodder as Il basis.
TIL" value of Il food product is not
determined by the number of pounds
yielded per acre. but the amount of di-
gestible material produced.
Assuming the grain KHftir corn to
Lave the same coetlicientS of digeSti-
bility as the plant-it certainly must
be higher-we would get from an acre
1.7J2.S pounds of digestiblc organic
matter.
With IN average yield of - bushels
corn maiZeD per acre we have: Water,
22l.2 pounds; fat, al pounds; fiber.
22.l pounds; carbohydrates. 943
pounds; protein. 144.3 pounds; ash.
III pounds; giving a total product for
The acre of 1,4O0 pounds, excluding the
fodder produced.
Each ton of we'll cured corn fodder
~tstOver) contains S6S pounds Of digesti-
bic organic matter. Now if we add to
the digeStible fodder of IN acre the di-
geStiDle corn produced, we have Il total
of digeStible matter of 1.Ij2.S pounds.
Then, by comparing results we get
in digeStible matter for the acre of
kattir COrn-grain and fOdder-l. 1923
pounds, as against Sl2 pounds Of di-
gcStible COrn and fodder included with
the cOrn-cOunting II ton well cured
fodder per aCre-1,7lO pounds.
From the mature of the case these
figures represent approximations only
Average yields have been assumed and
while the exact COetficientS of digeSti-
bility for corn and corn fodder have
been taken, the digestibility of Katfir
corn-grain. the most important consid-
Grafton. had to be assumed. Aside
from these peculiar conditions some
conception of the relative value of the
two crops may be gained from these
calculations.

PRACTICAL SURGERY.
another Successful Operation by
Means of Cathode Rays.

Chicago, Feb. 16.-Louis Burkhart,
n young FrenchTan, is grateful for the
discovery of cathode rays. In an
operation performed at Mercy hospital
last night the marvellous practical
value Of the ROentgen discovery in
science and surgery was beautifully
demonstrated. The young Frenchman
came to America two years ago.
Buried in his hand was a ball. which
he had received in a street fight in
Paris. The Mercy hospital operation
last night was not the first time Mr..
Burkhart had subjected himself to the
surgeons in the hope that the unde-
sirable bit Of lead might be removed.
Eighteen months ago two Chicago sur
geons made an attempt TO locate the
bullet, but We're unsuccessful. But the
photograph of the left hand. taken
yesterday by means Of the cathode
rays, located the leaden ball with
wonderful accuracy. With the print
as a guide, the surgeon made an in
cision in the palm of the hand. and
after a few minutes probing extracted
the little missile from its two years
resting place.

The spirit of cooperation is spread
ing among farmers like Il cOntagion.
Don't vaccinate for 1t.
This is the time of year when the
machinery left in the field worries
everybody who sees it except the care
less owner.
Smut in corn cannot be remedied by
immersing in some LIQUID, as it can
with wheat, because it is not in the
corn as it is in the wheat.
The hay crop of the United States is
only second to that Of any other crop
in value. Departmental agricultural
statistics for 1890 COVE the value OF the
corn crop, in round numbers, $780,, 600
900; hay crop, S571 100000, and cotton
crop, S2S5, 100000.
Although a low-wheeled wagon Is Of
heavier draft than a ~high-wheeled one
for hauling on the farm, the former Is
preferable in many cases, not only b
cause 1t Is easier loaded and unlOaded,
but 1t will injure the fields much less
in hauling over them.
The asparagus pea, a new novelty
from Jutland, the continental portion
of the peninsula Of Denmark, goes out
for trial this year, and the intrOducer Is
hopeful that it will be successful in
this country, and it will not be offered
for sale until this fact is fully deter
mined.
Such lands as you intend to cultivate
In hoed crops or potatoes should be
turned now as soOn as the season will
permit. 1t will then be ready to work
early, and the crops that are most sue
cessful when planted early can be got
ten into the ground in good time.
These early crops always require a
great deal Of moisture to mature them
properly. and early blowing and pull
v~erization cOnserves the moisture best
for use when most needed.
