SHALLOW CORN CULTURE.
Experiments of the Nebraska Station
show the Success Of the Compare
ativeiy New Method.


A revolution in corn culture in Ne
braska is promised. For some years
the advocates of shallow. cultivation
have been endeavoring to prove the
value of their plan, but have made lit
tie Roadway. At the request of num-
Der of farmers the experimental sta
ton has been making thorough tests,
and bulletin announcing results is
being prepared for publication.
Four acres of land was divided into
tracts of one acre each, and each tract
was cultivated by Il different cultivator.
The result showed that the acre under
deep cultivation yielded SO bushels,
while one under shallow yielded IS and
the other two 60 bushels each. The
land receiving shallow cultivation was
stirred to depth of three inches, that
receiving deep cultivation to a depth
of six inches.
The director of the experimental sta
ton says that the advantage of shallow
cultivation lies in the fact that the air
does not penetrate so deeply, and there
fore does not dry out the roots in a
year where the rainfall is below nor
NAL. A study of the roots of the corn
plant shows that many of them would
naturally grow within three or four
inches of the surface, but when the
upper layer is dry, their source of
nourishment is shut off. Deep cultiva-
ton has the disadvantage, too, of tear
ing the roots, thereby hindering them
from securing the proper amount of
nourishment. The one thing insisted
upon in shallow cultivation is frequent
stirring to prevent a hard crust from
forming for any time on the surface.
Wherever tried, the shallow culti-
waited corn this year has proved the
more vigorous, although so well timed
have been the rains that the yield is
certain to be enormous. The prospects
are such that the millions of bushels
held by spectators in cribs arc being
marketed as fast as possible, although
the market has sagged some within the
month

which is shown. This is made of stove
pipe iron, by turning the sides and
ends. This leaves a long, fiat pan
about four inches deep. This is mount
ed on wooden runners as shown in the
picture. A piece of cloth is stretched
on frame at the back of the pan.
When ready for business, this pan is
partly filed with water, and quar-
tity of kerosene oil poured on top Of
that. On level ground, no cross pieces
are necessary. On sloping ground the
contents should be divided as shown in
the picture, as otherwise the water
would run to one end These hopper
dozers are made of any desired length
up to IS feet. They are hauled along
over the ground scooping up the grass
hcppers, which fly ard strike the cloth,
and fall back into the pans, where the
kerosene quickly kills them. With
one of these hopper-dozers, it is easy to
collect several bushels of grasshoppers
in a day.-Rural New Yorker.

THE MODERN FARMER.
lie Must BE a Scientific Man in Order
to KccpPa with Progress
sive Competitors.

4 More skill is required to properly
manage q farm than in any other occu-
patton, as farming includes many diff
ferent branches of business, and while
some are more skillful as breeders,
others are more successful in growing
special crops. Gardening includes the
forcing process, while fruit growing
requires a knowledge of Insects and
varieties. In fact, there is no limit to
the farmers usefulness, and the farmer
who becomes an expert in any partic-
ular line follows scientific methods just
as surely as he who studies and OBJ
serves in some other direction. If the
farmer succeeds by the adoption of
the surest and most profitable systems
he should be all the more willing to
theorize and endeavor to further i'm
prove his practice. Farming at the
present day is rapidly drifting to that
point at which the farmer must be a
specialist and give his attention to
some particular line. The dairyman
who has devoted the greater portion of
his time to the improvement OF breeds
and the production of superior milk,
butter and cheese would probably not
succeed should he venture into the
forcing of vegetables in winter, while
the florist would no doubt make fail
ure with field crops. These facts dem
onstrate that there is always something
to learn and that, as the improvements
occur in mechanics, the farmer is more
or less affected by the changes in eco
nomic conditions and must adapt his
operations accordingly. He must be a
scientific farmer in order to keep pace
with his competitors in the march OF
progressively On. W Times.

VALUE OF COW PEA.
As a Forage, Feed and Fertilizinks
Crop, Says This Writer, 1t
Has No Equal.

Capt. E. A. Wilson writes from Wash
ingtcn in part as follows: Farmers in
the, north do not, as rule, half appre-
'ciate the COW pea as forage, feed and
fertilizing crop Really, there is
nothing they can grow on the farm that
in all respects begins TO equal it, and
where conditions are anything like
favorable, good, average crop is al
most certainty. AS an upbuilder of
poor, sandy and overworked soils, it is
especially valuable. In all-round value
there is but one other legunne that be-
gins to equal it, and that is the Florida
velvet bean, but for speedy growth
and early maturity of fruit the COW pea
stands at the head. 1t is wonderful
nitrogen gatherer, and it is therefore
exceedingly valuable both as green
feed and reneyator of the soil. Twelve
to twenty thousahd pounds of green
forage per acre, and 20 to 80 bushels of
seed is not an uncommon yield, and
with this mass of leaf and vine turned
under as a fertilizer, or cut and cured as
a dry feed. or used for silo, must neces-
s2rily be Of great, value. The matured
pea is especially valuable for all stock
on the farm, as every living thing will
eat them as greedily as they would corn
or oats. Hogs do specially we'll on
them, and to turn them into pea field
they will fatten perfectly. To grow a
crop fit your ground nicely, drilling
seed an inch or so apart, and covering
about three inches deep. Or you can
seed with common wheat drill, which
will do just as well. When plants are
up to four or five inches run over field
with weighted harrow, paying no at
tention to rows, thus freeing your
ground of grass and weeds. If ground
is not too foul this is all your crop will
need. Most of all the COW pea family is
quick in fruition and maturing of
fruit, rarely taking over 60 to so days
from date of planting to maturity of
fruit and harvesting of crop. This
makes, therefore, specially valuable
crop for the central and northern sec
tions of our union, where seasons are
inclined to be short, and where crops
so frequently fail"

Great Famines In History.

The threatened famine in India re.
calls others that have occurred within
historic times. In Britain in PIP the
people were forced to eat the bark Of
trees. Again, in $40, 10000 died
through starvation in the same coun-
try. In Italy i'll 45o parents ate their
children. In England in 1915 the peo-
pie devoured the flesh of horses, dogs,
cats and vermin. At Cape Verd in 177s
10000 people starved to death. India
has had many great famines. In 1887
3s 100000 perished in 1861, many
thousands more; in Bengal and Orissa
in 1866 the deaths from starvation ag-
gregated 100000; in Rajpoatana, etc.,
in 1869 the deaths were 100000, and
in 1877 about 100000 persisted in Bonn
bay, Madras, Mysore, etc. In the same
year the famine in northern China was
so great that 100000 are said to have
erished.-Chicago Chronicle.

WATER BARREL SLED.

sucn as is shown in the accompanying
illustration, all lifting is avoided. The
sled is about four feet wide and the
runners about five long. The cross
piecesare of two-inch boards and should
be mo-tised into the runners to give
strength. To keep the barrel from
sliding off the sled when passing over
uneven ground, blocks cut from a 2x4
are nailed down to the cross pieces Of
the sled in such way that they will
fit snugly about the bottom of the bar
rel. The longer blocks should be hewn
out. With these blocks therc is Sttle
danger of the barrel upsetting. ibis
sled being small and light is useful
about the farm, where only light haul.
ing not requiring more than one horse
is to be done.-0range judd Farmer.
