Theory us a Foundation.

It is true that there is a great deal
of levity INDUCED in when speaking
about book and paper farmers, but
what is the lawyer, until he builds q
practical knowledge on the foundation
which he receives in the law schools?
The physician is only theoretical when
he begins practice, but he has a scien-
tiic foundation upon which ito build
his future life and prospects. Should
not the farmer have the same founda-
ton? T.
Where can it be better acquired than
there? Here is a man who, never at
tended an agricultural college, yet he is
q practical farmer; but it has required
40 or so years of his life to attain the
knowledge he possesses, and every 9TH
er farmer is pursuing the same course,
each independent Of the other. It was
O waste Of energy, a waste of time,
and II those men, knowing what they
do. to-day, could have started oyt~in
early life with, all that knowledge, and
had that foundation to start with, they
would have succeeded better.-L. ].

Preparing Broom Corn.

Preparing Broom Corn.
The following from O commission
firm Of Chicago gives growers Of broom
corr some useful hints in regard to
putting up their corn for the market:
The corn should be well seeded and
ut the same time the growers should
avoid scraping the fine fbres from the
tips. Let the corn thoroughly cure be-
fore baling and butt it down well be-
fore laying it in the press. This will
make nice smooth ends and give the
bales a good appearance. Corn is fire.
quently received with the bales broken
in two when the corn is short. In order
to avoid this, when laying the short
corn in the press there should he lay
ers put in the center Of the bales for
binders to hold the corn together and
this will make good solid bales. Care
should be taken not to put rubbish or
scrapings from the cylinder in the cen
ter Of the bales as this is worthless
and q total loss to broom makers.
There are always a few who resort to
this practice and it is injuring the
reputation of all the, western growers.
We do not see why the western farm
ers should not realize as good prices
for their corn as the Illinois farmers,
providing the brush is we'll handled
and Of as good quality. The last few
years the quality of their corn has
not been up to the standard, but we
trust that this year they will have a
fine quality of brush, which will bring
the West to the front again. =

The attention Of the Star having

Mrs. Noren was found busily e

early Blight" is reported to be quite
prevalent in Iowa this season, and has
been on the increase for a number of
years. Prof. Pammel says that while
1t has been to some extent confused
with "Potato Rot" or Late Blight
1t Is entirely distinct from it, the Late
Blight not having been known, so
tar as he is aware. in Iowa, and of the
many specimens received by him both
early and late in the season, all prove
to be early Blight" The description
OF the disease is as follows:
The disease makes its appearance in
early July and continues until the po-
tato plant dies. The affected leaves
show circular spots, several of them
frequently coalescc. The spots are usu-
ally found near one margin of the leaf.
When great areas are involved, the leaf
begins to dry. and the edges to roll
up as though scOrched. Soon the whole
leaf has 4 shriveled appearance. A
closer examination Of these spots will
reveal small brown masses which con-
slst of numerous spores or reproductive
bodies. The tubels are always small.
In some cases numerous small holes
are found-the work of the green leaf
f~ea-beetle. It may be responsible for
some Of the trouble and may help the
fungus to get IN entrance, but in most
cases the fungus works Independently
Of this insect.
AS q means of prevention Prof. Pam
mel suggests treatment OF the potatoes
in the field and thorough cultivation.
At or just before the blooming period
an application of Bordeaux mixture
is advised, followed by at least two
subsequent applications ten days apart.
The formula for. Bordeaux mixture is
as follows: Six pounds of copper sui
plate, four pounds of lime, twenty
two gallons of water. Dissolve the cop
per in q gallon of hot water, slack
the lime and then mix the two.

st. Paul. Oct. THE doctors OF the
staff of the Pasteur institute at Chi

sicians that it was hydrophobia that
caused the death of Amelia Branch

stefan Ancker returned from Chicago
yesterday morning from his trip with
Annie Schaffer. He says that he de-
scribed the symptoms in the Branch
and Lombardo cases to the Pasteur
institute doctors and that they de-
clared that the cases were unmistak-
ably hydrophobia. Dr.. Ancker says
that he left the girl at the institute.
No symptoms of rabies developed be-
fore he left, SO that there is a strong
hope that her life may be saved. The
treatment win occupy about two
weeks. A careful record of the de-
velopments in the case will be kept
and a copy of this will be sent to the
st. Paul doctors for their information.

WHEAT ON
Farmers Disapprove Of the Plan Of
ReplOving After Corn.

Warmers DtsaDprOve of the Plan Of
ReplOwing After Corn.
The Practical Farmer ina recent is
sue had a symposium Of the views of
farmers over a large section Of the
state on this question: ''In preparing
corn land for wheat, whether it is best
to replow or not, and will the same
treatment be applicable to oats stub
ole?" Over twenty farmers gave their
views on this question, and the great
majority of them disapproved, of the
plan Of replowing after corn, although
a few preferred it. In our boyhood
days it was always the custom to pillow
the ground in the fall, after the corn
had been cut preparatory to sowing
wheat, but we never expected to secure
as good a crop in this way as OH land
that had been thoroughly prepared pre-
viously. We did not suspect the rea-
son then, but it seems quite clear to
us now. After working all summer
long, in the cultivation Of the. corn,
to prepare an ideal seed bed for win
but not too fine at the top, it was
by blowing that ground. We are con-
t1ASCA AOW3 IAAI Auu lEC No1A OCCA
cut off low, and the drill used, we
would have secured a great deal better
crop Of wheat.
With regard to oats stubble the case
is not SO clear. The stubble is in>the
way, and besides, there is plenty of
time, when a farmer wills it, to pillow
his oats stubble,: and harrow and roll
it until he can secure AZ ideal seed
bed. We once more call the attention
of II readers to the fact that there
is no time to be lost now in starting
in to prepare the ground for winter
wheat. We would burn off the stubble,
where it will burn, SO as to get rid of
insects, kill the weeds that may be
starting, etc. Plow the ground a rea-
sonable depth, and then harrow at
once. and each week until about the
middle Of September, which is early
enough in this latitude to sow winter
wheat. We would then use a press
drill, where one can be had, and where
this cannot be had, would use the best
drill that we could obtain.
1t was for a long time believed that
winter wheat could not prove success
full in Iowa. This is now shown to be
a mistake, as winter wheat for a num-
Der of years has proved a better crop
than spring wheat. and we e no
reason why it cannot be grown in any
part Of the state on lands that have
been subject to a clover rotation. We
would not care to try it except in IN
experimental way on other lands. To
be successful, however, the seed bed
must be thoroughly prepared, and it
cannot be prepared on land that has
been plowed, unless the blowing is
done early, and the narrowing has been
frequent, so as to secure the kind OF
seed bed that winter wheat invariably
demands. 1t may be said that wheat
is too low ic price to justify its cult
walton. Wheat is now as high as al
most any other grain, and in fact pro-
portionately higher.-Wallace's Farm
er.
