So successful has the system proved

requires, of course, more care than the
farmer Of the West has been giving to
his crops. He has for the most part
been trying to cultivate more than he
could do justice to, and the end has
been that be has not resped the profit
that he expected. With the new model
farms there is a strict limit of the
amount that the farmer is to try, and
then he is urged to make out of the
lands that he cultiVstes a steady crop
raising, rather than to endeaver to get
rich from a single speculation, and
thus is the agriculture made better and
more certain. The farmers of the
State are watching the experiments,
and If they find that the promises are

the growth be constant; that there be
no dormant period or time of rest. To
make q certain and continuous growth,
all the elements which promote the
same should be present at all times.
Corn, alone, does not contain them.
Green food is q necessary part of the

can come to summer conditions the

Cob Coal for Hogs.

From the Farm, Stock and Home.
There are many farmers who fail to
make success of making coal from
corn cobs, and therefore the following
explicit directions are given: Save che
cObs and store them In a dry place, 10
be burned when time permits. Aside
from the good care we give our pigs,
we attribute much of their general
health to the condiment prescribed
herewith, which seems to keep their
digestive apparatus in a healthy con-
ditiOn.
One who raises from 100 to $50 pigs
should aim to save at least 200 bushels
of corn Cobs for charcoal, Make a pit
~ to 8 feet deep, IL to Is inches In d.
smeter at bottom, AZ to feet on top.
Have a sheet iron cover made large
enough to cover the pit and project
inches over the edge Start a ire In
the bottom with shavlngs, and add by
degrees bushel of COba, and let them
get well sglow. Then add three or
four bushels more, and when we'll on
fire add more, and so on, until the pit
is rounding full, If they burn faster
on one side than the other lift the side
that Is burning least with a pole. If
you have an old iron rod long enough,
lay 1t over the center of the hole SO
as to keep the sheet iron from ssgging.
When all the cobs are we'll aglow, even
blazing freely, cover the whole with
sheet iron and seal the edges with
earth, air tight, and leave it until the
next morning, when the charcoal can
be taken out, aud If the job was we'll

Corn vs.. Wheat as Food for Steers and
Cows

Corn vs.. Wheat as Food for Steers and
Cows.
The interest recently manifested in
the value of wheat for stock and the
scarcity Of information upon that point
led the Experiment Stations to make
various experiments to test its feeding
value and to compare it with other
grain foods commonly used for feed.
ing. A review Of the work on this
subject, with statements as to the
value of wheat, was given In Farmers
Bulletin %. Recently the Pennsyl-
vania Station has reported expert,
ments made to compare corn and
wheat for steers, and the Maine Sta
tiOn has given the results of compsr-
ison Of the ssme for cows.
In the experiments at the Pennsyl-
ysnis Station twenty high grade Short
horn steers were used. Chopped wheat
was compared with corn-snd cob meal.
In both cases corn stoVer and hay
were fed in addition. The twenty
steers were frst fed a mixture of
ground wheat and corn and cob meal.
On this they required Sal pounds of
digestible food per pound of gain.
They were then divided into two lots,
one lot getting corn -and-cob meal and
the other lot ground wheat. 1t was
found that the lot receiving the corn.
snd-cob meal required 7.73 pounds of
diRestible food to make l pound of
gain in weight and the lot receiving
the ground wheat ate 8.67 pounds of
digestible food per pound of gain.
The conclusion is reached that "corn
has a slightly higher value for feeding
steers than wheat"
The Maine Station compared wheat
meal ground whest) with corn meal
for cows giving milk. In addition to
this, Is pounds of timothy hay and 2
pounds Of cottonseed meal were fed to
each cow daily. The indications from
this experiment. were that the wheat

The Ohio Experiment Station began
studying the comparative effect Of
deep and shallow culture of corn in
1888. At that time the implements
available for shallow culture were i'm
perfect, and for two years the results
were negative or slightly In favor Of
deep culture. During recent years
general attention has been drawn to
this subject, especially by the results
of the Illinois Experiment Station, and
manufacturers have produced imple-
ments better adapted to shallow cul.
ture. With some Of these implements
the work has been continued In Ohio
since 1891, with results uniformly in
favor of the shsllower culture, the RV-
erage yield from cultivatiDg one inch

cultiVator being six bushels per acre

same problem has also been taken up at
thirteen other stations, besides the two
named, with results generally fsVOring
shallow culture. Counting each sea
sons experiments at each station as
single test, fOrty6Ve such tests had
been reported up to the close of 1895.
OF these, twenty.seVen showed larger
yields from shallow cultivation, seven
were inconclusive and eleven showed

New system Of Farming in the Semi-AFId
Regions.


written to the GIObe.DemoerGt, we clip
the following passages describing the
new system of farming lately inaug-
ursted by some Of the railway compa
MES. 1t is known as the Campbell
system:
The process consists, first, Of a thor
Ough pulverizing Of the top Of the land
for depth of three or four inches,
with disc harrow; then to plOw the
land TO a depth of eight inches, using
this fine soil for the bottom of the fur.
rows. After this comes the "suriace
packer" tool that resembles the rear
portion of Havana press drill except
that the wheels are wedge shaped In
stead Of being Ast. This tool packs
that lower sub-strstum firmly together,
leaving the surface loose for three
inches from the top, II places the
ground In model condition, but is a
matter of a good deal Of work for the
first two years, as there are many diff.
Culties In the way of the first loOsening
Of the soil.
This work is done Immediately after
the pIow, and is followed by a fine
smoothing rake, which will make the
land look like a garden. 1t should be
done In the fall II possible, for then
the land is in better condition than at
any other time for thorough pulveriz-
ing. 1t is better to do 1t as soon after
taking off the previous crop as can be
done, in order to get the best results.
In most Of these model farms the work
has been done in the spring, for the
reason that the question of establish
ing them was not settled until after
the beginning Of the cold weather, and
so there was not time to accomplish all
that was expected. In case of fall
preparations, the first work is, In the
spring, to harrow the top and loosen
the surface two inches deep to prevent
evaporation, and so provide for the
moisture that will be needed when the
heat of the summer comes, and
even in the dry weather of the
late spring, This loosening Of the
soil holds the moisture, but it is a
method that has not been used to the
benefit that could have been found IL !
the farmers had understood the sclen.
tiic principles that are being applied
to the model farms of the new system.
1t Is too early to seed, however, when
the spring narrowing is done, and the
soil must be smoOthed and got into
fine condition when there is time, and |
at last as the season advances there
will come the seeding. This is due
when there is a prospect for quick
termination and growth. The corn is
planted with a check rover, and on
small grains, as wheat, oats, ETC., the
rows are drilled twenty inches apart.
Only about one quarter of the seed
Usually sown is used, so that there
may be better chance for the soil to
nourish the seed.
Then, as the mostremsrkableC change
from the usual manner, the crops are
all handled alike and receive the same
cultivation. The wheat and oats are
cultivated at least once a week, and
to the depth Of two inches. This shall

Land too rough for cultivation
should either be seeded with good
grasses for sheep or planted with tim.
ber or fruit trees. There is very little
land which should remain absolutely
idle.
When land is too poor to make good
corn it will grow a good crop of sor-
ghum. Th3 sorghum goes further
down for food and brings it up from
the subsoil when 1t is beyond the reach
of corn roots.
Every man raising hogs, whether for
breeders or feeders, should breed for
two lltters year, to come In March
and September. We are apt to lose the
use of a SOW an entire year by letting
her run idle six months.
Farmers should teach pigs to eat

Horses should be watered before
feeding grain; but should have no
water, or but one or two swallows soon
after feeding, The reason for this is
plain; the horses stomach Is small, and
a hearty drink of water hoode it and
will carry a portion of It's contents into

Secretary Vogelsang read letter from
the Chicago Fly-casting Clubin which the
writer made most complimentary men
ton of the remarkab BILE long-distance cast,
103 feet, made by Harry Golcher at Stow
Lake in Golden Gate Park last fall, which
broke the worlds record. President
Mansfield read a letter from H. L. Stanton
of the Chicago Club in which Mr.. Stan to n
made the suggestion that the TWO clubs
meet in a contest upon neutral ground.
Considerable time was consumed in dis
cussing handicaps in fy-casting. 1t was
decided not to have any handicap in cast
ing for delicacy and accuracy. Golcher S
record, however, was stumbling block,
and several suggestions were made look
ing to placing the other mem bers of the
club upon an equal footing in long-dis-
lance casting.
The president appointed Messrs. Young,
Turner and Smith as committee to dis
cuss plan for an equitable handicap, to
be reported at the next meeting.
A long discussion followed as TO the ad-
visibility of communicating with the
Senators and Assemblymen now at Sac
ramento with view of passing bill pro-
hibiting the catching of fish under five or
six incnes in length. Action was deferred.
The president announced that Stow
Lake will not be full again until alb ut the
first Of next month. If in the meantime
any OF the mem bers desire to practice
they can go to Mountain Lake. near the
Marine Hospital.
The question of the club acquiring a
lake or a stream to be kept as preserve
for its own use was also discussed and
several desirable lakes and streams were
spoken of, but no action was taken in the
matter.
