j. Fl. Halo is authority for the state
ment that "the time will come when
the streams Of New England will be of
more value to agriculture than they ever
have been to manufacturing. In the
Hartford Courant he describes "a project
for using little brook that runs among
the hills in distant part Of his farm,
to help out his crops in time of drought
Tho main features of the plan are res
ervoir up among the hills, which forms
a sort Of pocket for a lively brook which
has never been known to dry, and a
line Of pipe, little over 5000 feet,
with a fall Of 107 feet from the reser-
voir to the house. Instead of carrying
the main by the shortest and most di-
rect route, as soon as the grade will
permit, it is turned off and follows
along the ridges of the farm, which
form sort Of backbone all the way
down. About every 200 feet hydrants
are put into the main, and from these
water can readily be carried on the sur
face of the ground. An enterprise Of
this kind is an expense for single
f4 N, but, through neighborhood CO.
OF Grafton, much larger pipe could
hive been put down and the stream
n ade to irrigate half dozen or more
farms in its Immediate vicinity.

Cutting Coarse Fodder.

The Maine station compared the value
of chopped and unchopped hay for COWS
and found no evidence that tho chopping
had any effect. Cutting corn slower was
found advantageous at the Wisconsin
station. The Indiana station found that
steers made better gains on cut than on
uncut clover hay. In reference to cut
ting coarse fodder Professor Henry s1ys
There should be good feed cutter ON
every dairy farm, useful for silo filling
in the fall and for chatting feed in the
winter. All cornstalks should be put
through this machine, for then they are
i'll better condition for feeding, and the
coarser portions left uneaten are in good
form for bedding and the manure heap.
Long cornstalks are a nuisance in the
feeding manger, worthless for bedding
and troublesome in the manure pile.
Many farmers find difficulty. in feeding
cut cornstalks, since sometimes the COWS
refuse to eat them. In few cases we
have found that the sharp ends of the
cornstalks when cut certain lengths in
jure the mouths of the COWS. When they
are not we'll eaten, the cause is often
due to overlooking or endeavoring to
have the COWS live on too limited va
riety of foods Keep the managers clean
and feed the cut fodder with care, and
usually very little will be left over, and
that only the coarsest portion. Expert
ments at the Wisconsin station show
that with the varieties of corn fodder
raised there much more of the cut stalks
will be eaten than if fed uncut under
the same conditions.

Bees Destroying Fruits.

Beekeepers and fruit growers do not
agree on the question of bees destroying
fruits. Meehan tells in his monthly that
honey bees destroy grapes, raspberries
and other fruits. " He explains the
whole method as follows
The bees are not able to bite the skin,
but, in the grape particularly, they start
near the attachment of the berry with its
stalk where it requires scarcely any force
to thrust the tongue through. There are
some beekeepers who keep bees without
taking the slightest interest in provid-
ing flowers, and who lino their pockets
out Of the predatory practices forced on
the industrious bee. There is nothing
left for those troubled but to hang up
bottles of sweetened liquid out of which
the little thieves cannot escape. 1t is be.
loved that bees would not steal fruit
if the bee owner provided flowers for
them. 1t is easier to gather honey than
to suck grapes.

SWEET CORN AS A FARM CROP.

SWEET CORN AS A FARM CROP.
homo Of the Advantages Derived From
Growing the sweet Varieties.
I. is matter Of surprise to American
Cultivator that the sweet varieties Of
corn are not more generally cultivated
Following is what this authority says
on the subject:
The grain yield of sweet corn is rs
large as that Of other corn, for though
the ears are generally small, most kinds
of sweet corn will bear two, three and
occasionally more ears ON stalk. For
those who merely grow corn u feed, tho
sweet variety has great advantages. Its
stalks are richer and sweeter than ordi.
nary field corn, if they are cut, as all
corn should be, when the grain has just
begun to harden Besides this, sweet
corn generally brings Il considerably
higher price in the market than other
Germ.
There are some difficulties in proper
~ drying sweet corn, because Of the OK
cessiye amount of moisture il contains,
which, with its sweetness, makes its
especial value. But when sweet corn
begins to dry it dries out more quickly
than any other. If always cut and
husked early. the ears can be placed for
a day or two in an eyaporator, which
every farmer should have. In this time
they viii dry so much that the corn can
then be put III large cribs without dan
ger OF becoming moldy. But IA large
portion of the sweet corn crop is sold III
its green state and for much higher
prices than ordinary corn brings by the
bushel. Twelve to 10 cents is the price
which green corn usually brings early
i'll the season. This soon runs down, but
even at the lowest rates corn sold by the
dozen ears brings more than ordinary
coin Will after being husked, cared iGr
until dry and shClled. The price paid
by canning factories is Still lower than
that sold to grocers and private houses.
But the farmers near a canning factory
have always found sweet corn one Of
their best paying crops. and they have
learned To grow it TO tho exclusion Of
ordinary corn, feeding the surplus on
their farm.
Sweet corn when thoroughly dried can
be ground and makes light, palatahle
and easily dlgested meal, Ground with
the cob, mixing Il little common corn
and oats with it, SO as to make the cob
grind more finely, gives feed that Will
be eaten by all stock and that will be less
likely to cloy them than ordinary grain
meal But there is n still more profita-
BILE use for sweet corn if cut while very
green and its grain sliced from the
green cob and spread thinly in an evap-
orator. This, if put when fully dry in
bags in cool place. will keep in good
condition for using after being soaked
III water few hours to regain its orig
inal freshness. Corn so prepared is quite
as good as canned corn and is less trOu-
bio to prepare. 1t is easy in almost any
locality to create q demand for this
dried sweet corn by leaving some at
stores to be sold or giving little on
trial to those who will be likely to be-
como customers. Wherever this evapo-
rated corn is once tried it will soon
create steady and paying demand for it.

PRESERVING FODDER CORN.
Decisive Tests of the Relative Value of
Four Popnlar Methods.

In the eighth annual report of the
Vermont agricultural experiment sta
ton Is given an instructive account of
results gained in testing four ways of
preserving corn 'foader-viz: /. Ensi-
laying the entire crop, "ears and all"
(whole ensilage). 2. Picking the ears,
cribbing. drying and grinding them
and feeding the meal together with the
ensilaged talks and husls (stover ensi-
lage and meaD. 3 Stocking in large
stocks tcorn fodder. 4. Hnsking, crib
hing. drying and grinding the ears and
feeding the meal together with the
stocked stalks corn stover and meal).
Each of the four methods of preserva-
ton saved about four ffths of the dry
matter as harvested, and, judged by this
alone, We're of practically equal eff
cheney, the figures being: Slower ensi
lage and meal, Is per cent loss Of dry
matter, whole ensilage, corn fodder and
corn stoyer and meal, 20 per cent loss
of dry matter each. These figures are
almost identical with those obtained in
similar tests previously made at this
station. The character of the losses in
food ingredients is much the same in
each case.
Tho stocked folders, while stocked,
lost more and more dry matter as the
winter went on after cutting they lest
considerable dry matter, but less as the
winter grew longer. The losses in gross
weight and dry matter in the silos were
found to be parallel, the latter, how
ever exceeding the former. The ears in
the silo lost more Of their food value
than those handled in other ways, tho
reverse of the result in the 1923 ex.
pertinent. The relative cost of placing
the same amount of dry matter in the
manger was greatly in favor Of the
whole ensilage. The time and money
spent in husking and grinding the ears
were wasted, since better results We're
obtained when the ears were left on the
stalk.
In this experiment the ensilages were
relished much better than the dry fod-
ders, and the COWS did better upon them
The same quantities Of milk and butter
were made by feeding whole ensilage
and stoyer cnsilage and meal; the milk
was not changed in quality, but the
cows ate less dry matter from whole en-
hilage to produce the same amounts Of
milk and butter. There We're but 81 or
so pounds Of milk and butter produced
by a given amount of dry matter in the
slower ensilage and meal ration to 100
pounds produced by the same amount of
dry matter IN the whole ensilage ration.
The whole ensilage lasted longest,
and would consequently make the most
milk and butter An acre of corn made
into whole ensilage yielded as much as
1.095 acres made into slower ensilage.
The results of this experiment as
whole are in entire accord with those
obtained in tho similar trial at this sta
ton in 1923

Application of Carbon Bisu,phide.

Fl. E. Weed of the Mississippi expert
ment station reports to The Farmers
Review a simple and effective method
of applying carbon bisulphide as rem
edy to weevil in grain. 1t consists in
simply pouring the liquid over the top
of the grain. He says: "This is but the
work of moment, and applied in this
way the effect is greater, as by this
means all the bisulphide used evaporates
at once, forming a more poisonous at
mosphere than would be the case where
the bisulphide is put into open dishes
and left to slowly evaporate. For three
decidedly the best in our work at this
station.

PLACER MINING BY ELECTRICITY.

The Columbian Fine Gold Saving Co.,
of Seattle, are building boats at mouth
of White Bird creek preparing to float
some heavy machinery down Salmon
river to the old Shorty" bar, where ex-
tensive mining operations will be car
ried on this summer.
The work proposed is the installation
of electric pumping machinery, the
power to be obtained from a small
stream brought on to Pelton wheels
under 800 foot hydraulic pressure.
The works will be run day and night:
arc lamps run by dynamo will furnish
light.

company. He proposes to work various
enterprises along Salmon river with the

here is one that was in operation at Sans

Salmon affords much larger returns for
such appliances, as the gold is heavier
and the gravel richer in gold.-Grange.

that If Senator Dubois finds that he
cannot have himself returned TO the
United States Senate, he does not pro-
pose to allow any Republican to sue
coed him. It seems to mean that SEN
ator Dubois has determined to ruin the
Republican party in Idaho If he can
not rule it for his own special benefit.
The Republicans of Idaho may contem-
plate the gratitude of Senator Dubois
with whatever degree Of satisfaction
his present attitude warrants. They
may also get under his lash with the
best grace they can command for If he
is not returned Populist OF Democrat
shall be. If Senator Dubois attitude
is correctly represented by the Salt
Lake Tribune, we believe the Republic
cans Of Idaho should rise as one man
and serve notice on him that before he
shall succeed himself a PopuIist or
Democrat will warm the seat he now
occupies. After all, either Populist or
Democrat will be quite as loyal to sill
yer as Senator Dubois is and can not
be greater hindrance to protection
than he. We sincerely hope, however,
that Senator Dubois has been misrep-
resented ana he will promptly proceed
to call the salt Lake Tribune down.
The Tribune should be very careful of
its facts in its editorial columns be-
cause the people out here have pro-
found confidence in its utterances. We
are afraid it has already done Senator
Dubois irreparable injury.
