to a small tract OF land about two
miles long and half mile wide. For

lead ore existed there, but no one
supposed it was there in any quantity.

THE PROFESSORS AND THE FARMERS.
We fail in our agricultural teaching,
in our dairy instructions, because we
do not get right down where the man
is in his common every day work.
Agricultural colleges and experiment
stations deem it beneath their dignity
to follow him in the everyday detail
of his affairs, just where he needs in
struction, just the source of all his
failures. Too many of our institu-
tions in dairying, and in all depart.
ments of agriculture, never had that
long continuous application in the de-
tail of farm work, its trials, its fail
ures, its lights and its shades, to enable
them to know just where the timely
word is needed. A griculture is inten'
sely practical. How then can the man
Nho spends his youthful days in schools
rounding out his period in college, and
becoming a professor in some agri-
cultural college be expected to impart
the instruction so much needed.
Our state institutions and men OF
wealth and leisure may have fne-bred
herds, carry on a system Of intensive
farming, but what avails all this be
yond the evidence it furnishes of the
power there is in money!. NJ. Con

A GROWING BARN.

J. w. Fesler, who lives north Of
MorgantowD, Ind, has barn which
threatens to develop into ''sky-scrap-
er." In 1891, having need Of new
barn, he built a small structure, and In
its construc ion he used green willow
posts at the corners and along the sides.
These he sunk in 0 the ground in the
usual manner. For some time Moth
ing unusual was noticed, but after a
year be saw that whereas he laid the
floor near the ground, 1t was now three
feet above the soil. On examination
he discovered that the Willow posts, i'm
stead of being dead, as be supposed
they we're on putting them in, we're
in reality alive, and had taken
root and were growing. In their up
ward movement they carried the barn
along. He watched this with interest
month by month and year by year. OF
coure he had to build another barn, for
it was inconvenient to use the constant
ly rising structure
Last spring the first barn was on
stilts nine feet high, and In August be
put in new floor and surrounding the
posts with sidings, thereby making it q
tWo-story affair. There is now q space
Of seven inches beGween the new fiot r
aud the ground. and Mr.. Fesler expects
to have three-story barn in course OF
time. He has built outside stairs to
the second story. The neighbors come
for miles around to sse 'Fesler's eleva-
tor,n as they call it.

OF Interest
to Farmers
DAIRY AND CREAMERY.

DAIRY AND CREAMERY.
Cows do not much carry of their milk
around in their udders. Some of it is
there, but much Of it is secreted or
formed during the milking process.
Why farmers and dairymen do not
use land plasters and deodoriz9rs more
and save the manure as well as prevent
bad smells is one of the things no fell
low can find out.
Plant successive strips OF corn TO
come in one after another, the success
sive paintings being about three weeks
apart, to furnish green fodder for the
milk cows when the grass beIins to
fail. The earliest planting Of sweet
corn can be made to furnish the fodder
early in July.
1t is very little trouble for the dairy
man to weigh and test each. cows milk
SO that he will know which Of them
pays her way and which should be sent
to the butcher.
If the oats that you cut up for one
good ration for the COW were allowed to
come to maturity, they would produce
two quarts of oat grains.
One handful Of land plaster to one
cows stall is enough to deodorize 1t
and absorb the liquid manure.
The faster the population of a reigon
grows the more milk will be wanted,
and consequently the more corn for
fodder. Fodder corn will grow in any
Of the eastern and northern states, al
though the grain will not lipen before
| frost.
The earliest crops that can be planted
for feeding green to the milk cows are
barley and oats. Just as the oats are
forming the head. while they are in the
juicy stage, cut for feeding. The stalk
is then tender and juicy all the way
down to the roots, and the whole Of it
may be used for this soiling feed.
In planting for the green fodder croI
be particular get just the kind Of
seed that will thrive best in your 10.
cality. The best kinds Of fodder corn
are by no means the best for field crops
intended TO ripen. Plant first the very
early varieties.
The Australians are trying new
way Of packing butter which they
think will do away with the chilled
chambers. 1t is as follows: The but
ter is packed in cubical boxes made o.
