BLYTHE WAS THERE.

state convention, now mobilizing at the
hotels. devoted good deal Of time yes

torial question. at which Governor
Shaw, Senator Allison and j. w.
Blythe, OF Burlington, were present.
Curiosity was whetted by the fact that
the conferees had gone out OF the state
for a meeting. and had sought to keep
the meeting n secret by not registering
in Chicago. A good many guesses were
made as to what the conference Inn
piled. and as to whether conclueion
was reached, but no one pretended to
have exact knowledge. One surmise
was that perhaps Senator Allison, to
compliment one who had once been a
dangerous competitor. had suggested
the name OF EX-GOVERNOR Larrabee.

That it pays TO give cows on pasture
supplementary food during the dry
months Of August and September has
been demonstrated at the Kansas ex-
pertinent station Green corn. alfalfa
or any of the sorghums can be more
proitably used as soiling crops when
pastures are short than any other way.
Professor Otis states that in 1899 the
soiling crops fed to Kansas dairy
herd brought an income Of S1S per acre
above the cost Of the crop In The
western states alfalfa is probably the
best soilins crop. but in the great corn
growing sections. where alfalfa does
not grow readily. nothing is better than

PnrsnIns For snrinr use

The parsnip is so hardy a root that,
like satisfy or vegetable oyster, it may
be left in the soil where it grew all
winter without being materially in
jured. Usually there is enough snow
on the ground to afford all the pr0tee-
ton needed to what grows below the
surface. What runs into the soil may
be exposed to freezing temperature
without injury, for if the frost enters
the parsnip it is extracted by the soil
around it. We have known parsnips
that grew above the surface to be in
Jured by freezing and thawing several
times during the winter, when there
was not enough snow to protect them.
There Is another point to be guarded
against The parsnip begins to grow a
seed sprout so early In the spring that
the sprout often starts before the
ground is fit to dig When a green
sprout has once started, the parsnip
becomes worthless for eating. 1t will
be hard, like wood. and be also to some
extent poisonous. SO even if the soil
be In poor condition for working it is
best to get out ali the parsnips that
are wanted for spring use and keep
them IN cold, damp place, where they
will neither sprout nor dry up. 1t
should be in the dark also, as light is
Injurious, stimulating the green growth
which makes the root poisonous. adj

1t is probable that If an accurate

is an enormous sum and throws the
"fancy' part far into the shade. 1t is

the magnitude Of the poultry inter

of eggs used in the arts. We are still
importing eggs, and our country does
not supply itself
While the farmers largely assist in
this production, yet the cities, towns
and villages contain thousands who
keep small 1ocks The hen is but a
small creature, but there are millions
of hens, and they produce something
every day in the year. In the face OF
great array of figures and facts lei
the poultry business have its proper

Cattle, horses, sheep, swine and even
wheat are falling to the rear behind
poultry.
And yet it is styled a ''fancy" bust

British Dairy Inportationa.

4 recent article in the London Times
deals with the butter and cheese i'm
portations and shows that the Austral-
asian butter imports into Great Brit
ain this year exceeded by 1920 tons
the previous highest annual import and
was an increase of 1000 tons over
that Of last year. nearly double the in
crease in single year that any coun-
try in the world has previously made.
There has, however, been a decrease In
prices since the beginning Of October,
and a noteworthy point is the decrease
as compared with Danish butter The
act which limits the amount of butter
to 10 per cent in margarine mixtures
has the effect that competition is now
between pure margarine and pure but
ter, high class margarine mixtures no
longer competing with butter.
The importation of cheese into this
country is decreasing. there being less
general consumption owing TO the pros.
perity of the working classes and the
cheapness of imported meat Canada
has the import field here to itself.
France and the United States are los
ing hold of the British market France
being supplanted by Belgium and the
United States by Canada United
States eonsuiS have for many years
pointed out that the shipment Of filed
cheeses from tire United States would
kill the demand for cheese from that
country, aiid this prediction now seems
to have come true Marshall Balstead.

seIecting and Preserving Corn For
sced-A Vermont Wrinkle.
The selection of corn for seed should
be made when the growth of stalks.
size of ear and earliness can best be
noted. This is usually at husking time,
when the corn is husked by hand. If
husked by machinery, pass through
the field before cutting and mark in
some manner the hills or ears chosen
for seed, allowing these to stand until
thoroughly ripened before husking. Al
though not much of corn grower at
present, l was for a number of years
upon a large farm where corn was one
of the principal crops. Our seed was
always selected while huslzing, and we
never failed in having a good yield Of
sound corn. Choose ears that are thor
oughly ripened before cutting. An ex-
perieneed husker can easily tell this by
the husks and firmness of the grain.
Never save for old seed an ear where
the kernels are shrunken or loose upon
the cob When practicable, save from
stalks having two or more ears. Select
only those that are full at the end and
having the same number of rows at the
butt as at the center By leaving a
few husks on the ears they can be cas-
lily sorted when the corn is drawn in
Brace up and hang in a cool, dry place
The effect of this plan is easily noted
in few years by increased yield, size
and shape of ears.
If there is any doubt as to the sound
ness of corn, | would discard it entire
ly for seed and buy of some reliable
scotsman, as it is seldom that the crop
is a failure throughout the entire coun-
try. In planting l have always been
in the habit of rejecting the corn from
the tip and butt of the ear There is a
claim by some that this should not be
done, as the corn will not ill out as
well. Ny claim is that the grain on
the center of the ear is earlier and
more perfect than at the ends, produc-
ing better and earlier corn and Gner
shaped ears.
While travelling through Vermont a
few years since | noticed that the
farmers hung their seed corn under the
wide, projecting caves of the house for
wintering, proving the fallacy of the
idea that cold viii injure germ, as l
have seen the finest of flint corn grown

KILLING AND MARKE TING.
Valuable Information For Breeders
of Ducks and Geese,

VARIABLE Information For breeders
of Ducks and Geese.
Ducks and geese should be killed by
bleeding In the mouth or opening the
veins of the neck Hang by the feet
until properly bled. Never pick just
before killing In order to save the
feathers The feathers should be tax
en- off after they are killed, before they
get cold in other words, while they.
are bleeding as at that time they
come out very easily, but If they are
picked before they are killed it leaves
the skin SO infamed that the stock will
not bring good price. After the
feathers which are to be saved are TAX
en- off, the geese and ducks should be
scalded in water as near the boiling
point as possible without boiling. Pick
the legs dry before scalding, hold the
fowl by the head and legs and im-
merse, then lift up and down three
times If the head is immersed, it
turns the color Of the comb and gives
the eyes shrunken appearance, which
leads buyers to think the fowl has been
sick. The feathers and pin feathers
should be removed Immediately, very
cleanly and without breaking the skin.
II the feathers do not come off readily
after the birds are scalded, wrap the
bodies in blankets for the purpose Of
steaming them, but they must not be
left in this condition long enough to
cook the flesh.
Another good way to remove the
down is TO rub the feathers with pow
dered resin before the bird is scalded,
and then the down comes off with the
resin, which makes very good way
of dressing ducks and geese, especially
geese. Do not pick the feathers off the
head, and it is well to leave them on
the neck close to the head for a space
of two or three inches. The feet should
not be skinned nor the bodies singed
for the purpose of removing the down
or hair, as the heat from the fame will
cause them to look oily and bad. After
they are picked clean they should be
held in scalding water about ten. sec
onds for the purpose Of Pumping them,
and then rinsed in clean, cold water.
The best time to sell ducks and
geese is when they are young IL they
are raised early Most Of the live
geese are marketed during September,
October and November There is a
good market for live ducks all summer
or, in fact, the year around, but after
the weather has turned cold it is bet
ter to ship both ducks and geese dress
ed The larger they are the better
prices they will bring per pound. While
the market sometimes gets overstocked
on ducks, it never has and never will
be overstocked on large, fat geese at
any time of the year, as we have a
Jewish trade that is always looking
for large, fat geese, and as a rule they
are always scarce. We want to i'm
press on the minds of breeders that
they must raise large geese. Do not
forget that it costs no more to raise
large geese than small ones, and when
they come to the market they will
bring from two to three times as much
either by the pound or by the Dozen

An interesting fact noted at the
Michigan station Is that where scabby
sugar beets were produced 1t was on
ground that for years had been used as
a potato patch. while on adjacent land
the beets were smooth, thus Indicating
that old potato patches should be avoid
ed for beetfelds.
Hen manure quickly ferments and
loses much of its nitrogen If not pre-
