No Corn Husker Needed.

We notice some man under the head
OF New and important improvements
wanted" cites a corn husking machine
as badly needed. This man is not up-to-
date. The modern corn shredder is a
perfect husking machine; in fact, we
have never seen corn more clearly or
perfectly husked than by the shredder.
We suppose he wants machine to take
in the field and husk the corn from the
row. No such machine is wanted. Corn
was never intended to be wasted in this
manner. When corn is husked out in
the field on the hill, the man who grows
it either has too much land or not
enough stock, for when he so harvests
his corn crop he leaves forty per cent. of
the value Of the crop to go to waste. We
are fast coming to the time when the
corn crop will be cut up with a machine
and the corn be husked by shredder
and the whole crop utilized.

Home Smoked Meats.

There are too many men who sell their
fat hogs to the hog buyer and run a
meat bill at the local butchers, in a
sense buying back their own hogs after
they have made the trip to Chicago, in
the shape OF side meat, bacon and hams.

modern invention has never improved

hams and that bacon which forty years
ago could be found in every well regu-
lated farm home.

Some valuable tests were made at the
Iowa agricultural experiment station
last year. One. that shallow cultivation
OF corn increased the yield eight bushels
per acre. Another, that oats on rich
land are benefited by moving them at

appears, the uncut portion of the field
giving 46.7 bushels per acre, that cut
low 33.4 bushels and that cut h gh 5S.2

August Dairy Losses.

We want to say word about August
losses in dairying, which in so many
dairy herds constitute the big leak on
the dairy farm. Poor pastures and flies
that's what's the matter-you know
all about it. The cows shrink up in
their milk yield in August and when the
tall rains and fall feed come they never
get back. This is one OF the leaks that
you can stop you will go at it. Plant
sweet corn in the field sdjoin ng the
pasture fence. Take the cows up and
keep them in darkened barn from 8 a.
m. until 6 p. m. during the worst Of the
fly season; feed them literally with
sweet corn in the pasture night and
morning. There is no breed of cows
