PLANT CORN WIDE.

G. q. Turner, of Burgess, Mics, has
a neighbor who always plants corn in
rows seven feet apart and makes forty
to sixty bushels per acre, while ad-
joining fields of his nei9hbors planted
in four-foot rows yield from SIX to
thirty bushels. Mr.. Turner asked the
man OF the wide rows the reason for
his practice and success. The answer
was that experiments show that at
tasseling time stalk of corn takes
from the soil through its roots and
throws off into the air through It's
leaves quart of water per day, if it
can get it; and if it can't get it, it
does not thrive. Hence, thinly seed
ed corn will thrive through a dry
spell that will ruin thickly seeded
crops.
Mr.. Turner was 30 impressed that
he determined to experiment with cot
ton. One piece was planted 2x4. an
other Aka, and another 5x4 feet, one
stalk to the hill in all cases. That
planted AKA yielded twice as much per
acre as tho piece planted 2x4, and the
one planted 5x4 -four acresl did still

GALE FEEDING EXPERIMENTS.

Calf feeding experiments at some OF
the European stations resulted in
greater gains in weight when the
calves were fed from good artificial
feeder instead of from pail. The
latter system does not prevent up
pesrance of diarrhea, but dlminishes
the number of cases. A simple cali
feeder is much used in this country

.,HAr COLD DINNER.

Farmers children who have to walk
q mile or more to school should be
provided with substantial lunches,
especially in winter time. Buttered
bread, cake and cookies are insult
ciept nourishment after the long morn
ing walk and three hours of study;
the afternoon session and homeward
walk sharpens up their appetites, and
ag rule they go straight to the PAN
try as soon as they get home, eat an
other cold lunch and consequently
spoil their supper. 1t is not strange
that so many country children, who
should be the most vigorous, have
stomach troubles before they are in
their teens.
Mothers should make special study
of cold dinners, having them as varied
and nourishing as possible, and besides
this, have tho children's supper early.
This will be convenient in winter, for
we elllike our evening mealat 8 o'clock,
but it summer it necessitates an extra
meal, especially when tue supper is to
be hearty-for digestion should be
