Corn cut and shocked in the field has
been much injured by the heavy fall
rains for the simple need of a better
way of tying the shock. This tying has
been done too low down, leaving the
head of the shock exposed for the wind
to open and thus permit the rain to
penetrate to the heart of the shock.
Another tie near the peak Of the shock
would have kept it perfect cone, i'm
pervious to the water. In general
way the shocks should have been made
nearly twice as large as they are usual
~ put up and be doubly tied, as indl-
Gated, with great benefit to both the
corn and the fodder

The line OF latitude which marks the
limit within which the colored man
will live also very closely marks the
point where the horse begins to super
sede the mule as a beast of burden.
One may travel for days in Minnesota
and Iowa and never see a mule at
work on the farm and travel as far in
Missouri, Arkansas and other southern
states and never see a horse SO en-
ploycd.

A curious feature of the loose soil Of
the Missouri river valley is its ability
The railway cuts through the bluff
lands bordering the river are none Of
them cut at a slope of less than 10 de-
grees and often much deeper, and still
there is no sloughing or sliding caused
by waterfall or frost, In texture this
yellow soil is almost as tenacious as
are the st. Peter sandstone deposits of
the upper Mississippi valley.

A motor mower made by an Ameri-
at the late Paris exposition as any 9th

in the most perfect manner and at
tracted attention not so much in the
line of its use as n moving machine

other lines of farm work.

A man can steal from bank, a mer-
chant or Il corporation, but he can't
steal from old Mother Earth on the
farm. The soil may be robbed in a
sense by being made to grow worthless
products. but the man is never bene-
fitted thereby. \ man may beat his
friends and neighbors, but he can new
er beat his farm. 1t is always and ever
true that whatsoever a man soweth
that shall he also reap.

Just the same it is a good thing to keep

The scientists have figured out that
mans earning capacity in the lines of
unskilled labor is in this country about
81 and that the food needed to enable
him to earn this dollar is worth s 1-3
cents. While the man may be a hard
worker to get this dollar, he is no high
liver on this ration.

The use of sorghum sown thickly as
a reliable rough forage crop is making
great Roadway in the states west of
the Missouri river. From three to five
tons of dry fodder are secured from
the acre, and it is proving exceedingly
palatable to all kinds of stock. Its use
might be extended into Iowa, Missouri
and Minnesota with advantage.

Late butter quotations in the London
market were: Danish goods, % to 26
cents a pound; Irish, % to "a; Cana
dian, % to %, with but little butter
from this country good enough to bring
81 cents. There is food for thought in
this report.

Ostrich feathers are scarce and high

field and husk 20 bushels of corn from
one acre and sell it as it comes from

it and get 30 cents.

The number of men who know some

If the subsol where you wish to
plant an orchard, or, for that matter,
any sort of tree, is of Lardpan tex

down six or eight feet and explode Il

the hard subsoil and enables the roots
of the tree to so down and thus pro
