A Test Case.

I might mention the exper ence OF a
farmer who few years ago entered a
corn contest. The first thing he did
was to buy the latest work IN corn cul-
ture. One fact alone was worth all
the study he gave; he learned that,
contrary to the general impression, the
roots Of the corn plant grow to a great
depth; that experiments in Wisconsin
proved that when the corn plant is
eighteen inches high Its roots cross in
the middle rows fortytwo inches
apart; when the plant Is tasseling the
roots go three feet deep In the ground,
and when the ear is ripe they have
gone four feet and literally filled the
soil from the surface to that depth. he
learned enough to win a prize, and IN
consequence of that book his crops
have steadily increased until in 1898
be gathered from one measured acre
1893. bushels (shelled grain), and his
entire crop averaged 115 bushels to the
acre. This result a few years ago
would have been regarded impossible.
The same farmer gave his son, r.
year-oh boy, the turkeys on his farm
to raise on shares and furnished him
the latest work on turkey-raising. The
boy read the book, pursued intelligent
and up-to-date methods, and raised
about 5000 worth of turkeys; from one
flock Of 6S he raised "a. 1t pays to
know how. and this is all that scien-
tific means.-Atlanta Journal.

Brain Force in Bicycle Riding,

Messrs. R. E. and G. Crompton re-
Gently presented to the Cycle Engi'
neers' Institute at Birmingham, Eng,
land, the results Of a remarkable in
vestigation concerning the efficiency OF
the human body considered as a motor
Heretofore the body has generally been
treated as analogous to a heat engine,
work being obtained from 1t through
chemical action on the muscles. But
the Messrs. Crompton believe they
have demonstrated that the greater
part of the energy-yielding processes
20 on within the brain, or in the ner'
vous system directly connected with
the brain. In bicycie-riders they find
that the greatest waste is from the
brain and nerves, and not from the
muscles. The nerve waste, they aver
f. proportional to the number Of times
that the nerve centres energize the
muscles in order to make stroke, and
hence the craving for high gears
which diminish the number Of strokes
and thus economize the nerve waste
They advocate, instead Of high gear
Ing, an increase in the length Of the
cranks, for the purpose both Of reduc
ing the Number Of strokes and Of In
oressing their efficiency.

Anew Points on Al 'alfa.

When sowing alfalfa seed remem'
Der that it we CHS about so pounds to
the bushel and that from 20 to 80
pounds of seed is sufficient for each
acre. And if you are raising it for
seed it would be advisable to SOW a
. little thinner than this.
As alfalfa does not attain maturity
until it has reached its third or fourth
year, too much should not be ex-
pected of it the first year thatit makes
q showing.
As it is a deep feeder plow the
land that it is to be grown on thor
oughly and it would be pretty hard to
plow too deep.
Alfalfa hay is not in itself COM
plete ration so in order to secure the
best results when feeding it, it is nec-
essary to use in conjunction with it
corn fodder. wheat or oat straw, or
roots. Alfalfa itself contains large
amount of what is known as protein to
form blool, bone and mu ,cle, so it is
necessary to use these other foods to
secure for the animal proper amount
of starch and fat, which is accomplished
by using feed analvzing high in car.
bohydrates. If these are not given
the ration is incomplete and conse-
quently good part of the protein is
wasted.

shire is, much might be done to en-.
hance the value of the ordinary speci-
men as an all around dairy COW.
Tho Covered Barnyard.

The covered bnrnyard possesses
some advantages, but everyone must
decide for himself whether or not the
advantages are sufficient to warrant
him in erecting one. The yard that
I have seen was sheltered by two
buildings on two sides aud boarded
up seven :eet on the other two sides,
with a tive.ioot opening between the
top of the fence and the edge of the
roof. If Il farmer should build one 1t
would be advisable, in our opinion, to
protect the north al.l west sid, 8 com.
pletely. This might be done if build
ings were not 30 located that they
would do it, and they would not be in
the majority of cases, by building the
fence clear to the roof The chearest
roof would | Q one that was as nearly
flat ns POSSIBLE and still turn the rain.
These yards are not such pretentious
affairs as some people think them to
be. It seems to be common opinion
that they are large enough for 10 or
81 head OF cattle and the expense of
constructing yard of sufficient size
to accommodate snch sized herds has
caused many to ridicule the covered
barnyard rs nonsensical conception.
Perhaps it is, but not because of its
size.
The one T visited would accomnio.
da'e about 10 lead. Of course 1t
In IN la%o
by tt1rning 10 head into it at one time,
10 head at another and so on. It has
been suggested that the roof of the
yard might be carried higher and
lott made for the storage of fodder, n
suggestion which in itself shows that
the yard is limited in size. There Is
yard, however, in Pennsylvania, We
think, that /. much larger than the
yard we looked at, but it is entirely
enclosed, the space that would be
open above the fence, as above de-
scribed, being fitted with windows,
which eau be opened when necessary.
There is also skyligbt IN the roof
We should chill a structure of that
kind q Building rather thsu yard.
The manner of sustaining the roof
will readily suggest itself. The Gen.
ire of the roof will naturally require
some support and will necessitate in.
side posts, which will have to be set
substantial enough to withstand any
force which the stock might bring
against them.
The principal advantages that such
a yard would afford in the opinion of
those who believe that the COW should
have exercise, would be in the protec-
tion or partial protection of the animal
while she is exercising; in preserving
the manure from damage by the ele'
ments: as furnishing shelter for sheep,
aud, if plenty of absorbent is used, in
furnishing dry and pleasant barn
yard. Cheaper shelter will answer
for fattening cattle in many cases
when they neetl shelter, and the feeder
is likely provided for in this direction,
without finding himself under the
necessity OF building covered barn
yard However, now that We have
given the principle of the thing, it re-
remains for everyone WHO reads this
article to decide whether or not he
wants one.-Agricultural Epitomist

Look INTO Your Fertilizsrs,


Thousands lpon thousands of tons
of fertilizer are yearly used by some
men who do not even take the trouble
to see if it is helping them ont in a
financial way, or in other words to see
if it is paying Investment. If there
was such thing as reckoning up the
loss caused by this oversight the eyes
of a great many farmers would surely
be opened, and the result would be
smaller fertilizer bills and larger
crops.
Another thing should be done by
all using fertilizers, and that is the
matter of looking into the composition
of the goods they are buying. Buying
fertilizers without knowing the Rnaly-
sis of them is practically buying"a p'5
in bag"

Sansib1A Poultry,

A great many people who have
chickens are as careless in the matter
Of supplying them with green food IN
the winter az they are of keeping their
own tables supplied with succulent
vegetables. But it is nevertheless just
rs important in oDe case as in the
other. Referring to this subject, a
farmers wife in Nebraska says in Tri-
State Farmer on the subject:
The poulterer on the farm possesses
every advantage over the man confined
to one or two lots in the city. "h!le
in our experience. free range OF the
farm is not the best way to raise line
poultry, yet we do not duly appreciate
the foods We may raise and feed fresh
from the garden to our poultry. In
our experience the fowls at large 60
not confne themselves to picking up
the waste but rather choose to take
their rations from horse managers and
pig troughs. They fatten on the corn
and perhaps the men complain with
Justice that "the hens eat their heads
! off,"
We find 1t better to have yards OF
medium size, and we have about made
up our minds that hens at large are not
much improvement on hogs at large,
and what women can put up with hogs
in the back yard? But if hens are
yarded they must be fed, and there IS
room on the farm for garden for the
chickens. What shall we plant: we
must have Ia uce, Of course. One can
cut q surprising amount Of feed from
few square feet Of lettuce; then there
is the giant Southern mustard. A few
rows of that and you have green
food greatly rellshed, and in quantity
for a numerous flock. Winter onions
are egg producers. Perhaps we can
find a corner for hemp and sunflowers.
Then we must have some vegetables
for winter. Cabbage and artichokes
come first. Watch the biddies eat raw
artichokes If you do not believe they
like them. Then we may raise some
carrots to cook and mix with bran for
biddy's winter breakfast to make her
Law. We can cook them and mix with
corn meal to fatten the poultry for
market, quickly. Probably no vegeta-
Fble we raise gives less trouble or IS
more certain to yield we'll than sugar
beets. Then the bnets keep we'll, which
is more than we can say for carrots in
this locality. We put the beets through
the bone cutter and feed raw.
The hens greatly relish the raw
vegetables and the ducks must have
them if you wish eggs in January. Ihe
mustard will stay green long after
frosts, and when 1t Is gone begin on
the beets. The mustard will not ap-
pear the second year nor In any way
resemble the old fashioned sort. A
great many places where the vege-
tables have been taken of may De
sown to the mustard for fall feeding

Tho Lessons Of Milking Trials,

Nh. Primrose Mcconnell in his in
teresting report of the milking trials
at the London Dairy Show of hast o.
tober, which appears in The Journal
of the British Dairy Farmers Asso-
citation, includes several statistical
statements ofimportance to dairy farm
ers. Averaging the milking per-
formances of the competing animals of
the different breeds, he brings out
very clearly the superiority of the
shorthorn or the crossbred of the
shorthorn type. These classes have
not only given splendid yields as re-
CARDS quantity, but the quality has
also been of creditable character.
A close examination of the individual
yields may reveal lessons of more than
passing interest to owners of this type
of COW.
The enormously heavy yields pro-
duced by some of the animals and the
exceeding richness of the milk of
others seem to Us to suggest that the
farmer possesses q power in develop
ing or controlling the inherent pro-
pensities of COWS which is but too lit
tie appreciated, or at all events that is
not turned to adequate account. It is
obvious that the shorthorn by sys-
tematic process of selection could be
made to equal even the Channel
Island varieties as butter producers,
or they might be cultivated, if 50 de-
sired, to excel the Holstein breed as
heavy mixers. We do not think that
the development of one quality at the
expense of the others-as must be the
case if extremes are to be attained
would be wise proceeding for the
average farmer, but it is only too ap-
parent that the vast majority of farm
ers do not pay the strict attention to
the selection and direction of their
COWS that consideration for their own
interests ought to induce them to do.
Without converting the valued cos
mopolitan breed into one purpose
class, such as the Jersey or the Ayr

Ros.t,on OF Crops.

While no doubt it is better to
change crops, that is, not plant the
same piece for long series of years
to the saline crop-yet, is it not often
the case that good crop can be raised
on the same land for long time by
proper fertilization.
For instance, take the English hay
crop, by proper top dressing good
crop can be secured for years, and
where the field is clayey and stony, it
is very desirable to treat it 80.
We have, for the past few years,
made a specially of the turnip crop,
and having one field which seems bet
ter adapted than the others for tur-
nips, we have planted it to that crop
for number of years. We began
very cautiously, planting at first but
a.small portion the second and third
years, as our. neighbors said they
should not like to try it and thought
We should not get good results, but,
finding that there seemed to be as
good yield on the part that had tur-
nips the year befoie as on the other,
we thought We would try the whole
field, and for two years have raised
turnips on it, and the last year we
: had an extra crop of good quality, and
the quantity being $50 bushels of mar
ket size on the field cf about an acre.
We plow in fair quantity of stable
manure in the spring, then plow the
ground two or three times during the
early summer, then about the middis
of July make the drills and SOW the
seed, using in the drills 600 or 700
pounds of commercial fertilizers.
We have also succeeded in getting
rid of the witch grass, of which the
field was very full when We COM
menced to raise turnips upon it, and
it is now one of the easiest fields to
cultivate that we have. A. Turner

A Hint 10 Advertisers.

From N. Y. Town Topics:]
Business men who put their adver

therefore, need no advertising. Who
is to find or read your advertisement
when it is hidden away in "section

undiscoverable without the aid OF
mathematics and microscope? No
body sees it, even by accident. You
are obliged to ask the clerk in the

80 ss to be certain that it was publish
ed. The same advertisement in q
good weekly paper would reach thou
sands of first-class families and be
