The Windstacker.
Franklin Qnd. Democrat.

Franklin llnu.l DeulOCrdI'
In our trade and agricultural eX-
changes we note some discussion
concerning the merits of the Pneu-
matte or Wind stacker. We believe the
farmers Of Johnson county, sltua-
ted as they are, In one Of the best agri.
Gu tural regions in the world, are to be
lelicitated for they excellent judg-
meDt in adopting improved methods
10 farming without being governed by
prejudice or hearsay. To the farmers
Uf Johnson county, who have been
familiar with the Wind stacker since
its introduction in 1891, discussions
at this time concerning the merits Of
the Wind stacker must be amusing.
When they know that they have straw
stacks that have stood for three, four
and five years with the straw bright
and clean few inches below the sur
faces, they certainly cannot help won
dering why the Windstacker could
anywhere be condemned because the
straw would not keep. The geo.
graphical position Of the county, the
whole OF which lies within forty
miles of the capital city OF the state,
makes it readily accessible to the
agents Of all the agricultural imple-
ment manufacturers. For that rea-
sou, this county is particularly favored
in having the first opportunity to re-
ceive and judge OF new inventions.
We suppose the contests by agents for
sales Of machinery are as keen here as
they could possibly be anywhere. II,
therefore, there should be any weak
nesses or defects 10 a machine. the
agents Of competing machinery would
be swift TO discover them and point
them out to buyers. The fact is,
that a thresherman In this county to-
day without a windsatacker, has very
little TO do, and none OF them thinks
of buying a new machine without 1t.
Farmers no longer endure the dis
agreeable and arduous labor required
IN stacking straw, nor can they secure
hands in busy season to do such
work. The manufacturer OF thresh-
ing machine in this day, which is not
adapted to work in connection with
the Windstacker, has no sale for his
goods in this county, and we are sur
prised that farmers or threshermen
in any locality would think OF using
old time methods or machinery not
adapted for the best use of progress
sive improvements.

Dairy and Creamery.

There are 10, 900 creameries and 49,
600 cream separators in operation in
the United States. The factory makes it
possible for butter to be made as success
fully in the south as in the north.
Skimmilk is an excellent human food.
It makes muscle. If the milkman can
sell it for 2 cents quart, that viii be
equal to 81 per 100 pounds for it, and
at such price he will realize good
profit. The progressive milkman might
educate his customers gradually to a
realization of the value of skimmilk
food.
Another way in which skimmilk may
be used up is to mix bread with it in
stead of with water. Milk bread-skim-
milk bread-is whittier, sweeter and more
nourishing than bread made with wa
ter. A recent writer on this subject rec
ommends that prizes be offered by all
agricultural societies for the best sam
Piles of skimmilk bread.
It has been ascertained by chemical
analysis that the cheapest of all animal
foods is skimmilk
On a scale of 100 points the prize but
ter at the Massachusetts Agricultural
society ranged as follows: Creamery,
975a dairy, 971z.
The standard foi Judging butter adopt
ed by the Massachusetts, Agricultural
society is very good one for others to
follow. It is this: Flavor, 45; grain,
20; color, IS; salt; 10; packing, 5. The

Value Of Humus to the Soil.

A certain amount of humus is essen
tial to soil fertility. AS Agriculturist
Clinton Of Cornell station explains: The
value of humus lies not so much in its
chemical influence as in its physical ac-
ton. 1t is a great reservoir for the stor-
age Of nitrogen and moisture. 1t affects
the temperature of the soil by making
it warmer. 1t is able to absorb moisture
from the atmosphere, and having once
taken it up holds it.
When we pillow under green crop or
stable manure. says the authority quot
ed, we are then not only adding plant
food to the soil, but we are adding this
valuable humus, which is able to retain
181 per cent Of its weight of moisture.
Here is where farming with commercial
fertilizers fails. Though we may give
all the plant food necessary for the
growth and development of the plant,
the commercial fertilizer does not add
humus to the soil. If its use is continued
year after year without being supple
mented by green or barn manures, the
humus Of the soil is finally used up, and
the crop fails because there is no power
in the soil to hold moisture.

GREEN FORAGE CROPS.


Considered From the Eastern Farmers
Standpoint by American Cultivator.
Eastern farmers have for years known
that, considered merely for economy,
neither pasture nor hay is so cheap
feed as can be produced by cultivated
crops grown with greater labor. Consid-
cred merely as feed, the corn crop, either
grown for fodder or for grain, furnishes
nutrition in cheaper form than animals
can get it from pasture, considering IN
both cases the interest on cost Of land
and the cost of fencing it. Where the
soiling system is fully adopted fences
are done away with altogether, and even
in partial soiling this great expense is
reduced to very small amount Corn
is undoubtedly the staple forage crop.
But it is not a perfect ration alone, and
the growing or buying of something else
to feed with it is always necessity.
Glover, whether the common red. the
mammoth or peavine or the alsike vari-
ETY., is the best supplementary food with
corn, because it furnishes the phosphate
and nitrogen which corn is most def
Gent in. But there are other forage
crops that will bear sowing later than
fodder corn, and which it is possible to
put in when the failure of the hay crop
is known. 1t is possible to cut crop of
clover or of grass hay in June and i'm
mediately turn the sod preparatory to
seeding with millet and Hungarian
grass If sown any time before the first
of July, both of these will ripen suff1-
GENTLY TO make good hay, while corn
planted as late as this will be almost
worthless for feeding.
In root crops the white turnip and
beets may be sown even later than the
first of July and make a good crop the
same year. These late sown roots will
not be as rich in nutrition as will those
sown earlier, but it is succulency rather
than nutrition that roots are fed for in
this country. Great as may be the yield
of any root crop, it is SO largely water
that in nutritive value it is always in
ferior to corn grown on the same kind
of ground and the same season. For
this reason corn must always be the
main crop grown for forage and other
crops be only grown to give variety and
improve the nutritive ration by adding
heterogeneous nutrition in which corn is
deficient.

nIolsture In Celery Growing.

A New Jersey gardener gives his plan
of celery growing in The American Agri-
culturist. He says:
I prepare the ground early in the
spring, SOW the seed where the sun can
strike, and thus get healthy growth.
After sowing the seed cover up the bed
with old carpet OF old bags and keep
moist. Moisture is an essential in celery
growing. Leave the covering on the beds
until the plants are all up, then remove
and keep the ground moist and free from
weeds The middle Of July prepare
the ground for the plants by digging
trenches about ten inches deep and put
in each trench three inches well rotted
manure and two inches soil. Take up
the plants and cut off the tallest leaves
and thoroughly wet the roots and set in
the trench. Do not puddle around plants.
1t is injurious. Keep free from weeds
and earth up, and you are almost sure
of success / raised the Giant Pascal
last year, and better celery I never saw.

The New York state law passed last
spring requires the barrel used in han
ding apples, ounces, pears and potatoes
to represent a quantity equal to 100
quarts Of green or dried measure. In
buying or selling such articles by the
barrel, it is understood that this stand
ard is intended. When potatoes are sold
by weight the quantity constituting a
barrel must be 172 pounds. The law
provides that no one III the state shall
use barrels made for the sale of these
articles of size less than that specified
under penalty Of So for every such pack
age made or used. The Ohio law is very
faulty in the respect that no provision
is made for penalty in case of violation.
1t is therefore imperative. The statute
provides that this Ohio standard barrel
shall contain Sl1a gallons liquid meas
ure, while those for the purpose of ham
ding apples, potatoes, onions, etc., shall
have stave 281a inches long, with cut
heads of 171s inches diameter, and shall
measure at the bulge not less than Sc
inches in circumference outside meas
ure. This barrel is favored by neither

She Is Not Pure Bred-she rs Not Even

A writer in the London Penny Illus
trated Paper half humorously describes
the greatest butter COW in the world.
She is not an American COW either,
more's the pity. She is a product of
New South Wales. Her sire was a pure
bred Ayrshire bull, dam just plain,
common Shorthorn that had no large
milk or butter record either in herself or
any of her ancestry. Ayrshires in gen.
eral have no great butter record; neither
has the ordinary Shorthorn. Honey
comb, therefore, this half Ayrshire half
common Shorthorn, which made a
pounds 4 ounces of butter day, is in
the nature of a freak We hope some
freaks of this sort will crop out in
America.

Honeycomb;

Ayrshire bull, is the champion milk and
