thicker on the ground than it should be
planted where the object is to produce
grain. Corn is distinctively sun plant,
and if it is so thickly seeded that the
sun cannot reach all parts of the grow
ing plant there is produced a product
which is lacking in digestibility and
which is not relished by farm stock
A few years ago some experiments
were conducted by the Cornell expert
ment station, the object being to deter.
mine what method of planting corn
produced greatest food value. Certain
plats were drilled in thickly so that no
ears would develop, other plats were
planted with the rows 40 inches apart
and with the plants close together in
the row, and other plats were planted
in hills from to 31a feet apart. While
a larger quantity Of produce was OBJ
tanned per acre where the corn was
drilled in thickly, yet it contained a
higher per cent Of moisture and was de-
ficient in protein and in fat.
While the money value of the broad
casted corn is not very different from
the value of that grown on the other
plat this estimate does not take into
account the digestibility of the various
products.
The variety of corn which shall be
planted must be determined somewhat
by local conditions. In central New
York the Pride of the North gives very
satisfactory results. Whatever variety
is selected it should be one which shall
approach maturity before frost. The
man who plants so thickly that he cuts
1t with the reaper is surely failing to
get best results, says Country Gentle
man In conclusion to the foregoing ad-
vice.

FARM AND GARDEN.
Preventing annoyance from Flies.


During the hot months Of July, Aug
and Sept. flies cause great loss by
annoying dairy cows, fattening cattle
and work horses. If the entire neigbor-
hood would cooperate IN keeping
swamps drained and premises clean the
fly pests would not be so bad. Of course,
in new countries, flies breed in prairie
grass, particularly marshy land. Here
they cannot be controlled so readily.
The covering of work animals Is OF con-
siderable advantage, but this does not
help much when the flies are very nu-
merous. With dairy cattle and stock
not at work, possibly one of the best
methods of preventing loss Is to keep
them in dark stables during the heat of
the day. Flies will not go into dark
places.
In order to note the effect of flies on
milch cows, Prof. W. l.. Carlisle of
Wisconsin expert station divided ii cows
into two lots about equal in every
respect. During the daytime one lot
was kept In small paddock, having an
abundance of shade. The other lot was
placed in comfortable stable provided
with screen doors and windows. The
lot in the paddock were on the move
constantly fighting flies, while the
others in the stable were suffering no
annoyance. Comparing the result from
the standpoint of milk and butter, it was
shown that the cows protected from flies
produced 20 per cent more butter than
those in the open lot.
In several tests made on an Iowa dairy
farm it was found practicable to keep
the cows in a dark stable and discard
screens. The cows thus stabbed were
practically free from flies and gave
more milk than those left out Of doors.
The cows were allowed to run in the
pasture during the night and early
morning and required but little supple
mentary feed.
II it Is impracticable to use screens or
to darken stable, the next best thing
to do is to apply some repellent to the
skin. A number of these are on the
market and many of them will last two
or three days after applying As a rule
two applications week are sufficient.
The compound, whatever it may be,
should be rubbed on the TANKS, legs,
necks and about the base of the horns
or any spots where flies are most annoy
ing. This should not be neglected.
OF course, with large herds of fattening
cattle, the application of compound Of
this character is rather difficult, but
most of them can be put on with small
spray pump. If the cattle are driven
slowly through narrow passage, the
entire herd can be sprayed in very
short time. Dairy cows, work horses
and any stock kept in the stable can be
easily treated.-New England Home.

white cambria and five buttons to make
vest, and an afternoon is plenty Of
time. Duck or linen crash also makes
nice vests, and when they are washed
no boy knows that they are homemade.
Boys seem to be as much afraid Of
homemade clothes as of homemade
hair cuts. Some vests have the small
rundown collar, but most of the
summer ones are simply rounded at
the neck. That simplifies vestmaking
materially. An old vest furnishes the
pattern and shows how the pockets are
to be put in. A facing Of the same is
basted on the front, wrong side out,
and this Is then stitched and turned
and basted again and stitched down.
This Is then felled under the lining,
and the buttonholes are made. The
pockets are to be put in before any
thing aside from the cutting Is done.
Golfing jackets are made of Scotch
flannel by preference, as that never
shrinks, and most others do. This can
be had in any deslgn-that is to say,
any width and color of stripe, but
those In brown on white or with a dark
blue stripe on cream ground are the
handsomest. The jacket requires no
diagram, for it must have pattern,
and they are so easy to get from an old
coat. The back is narrow and unlined,
and the side seams are felled. There
Is facing of the material beginning
ut the shoulder in front and extending
to the bottom. This gives support to
the buttons, of which there are four.
The collar and cuffs are of white. and
the pockets are stitched on the out
side. These Jackets, when of a good
quality of material, cost high. but it
takes but 21a yards of flannel to make
one, and, aside from the buttonholes,
one can be made in an hour. If the
wearer prefers his Jacket to be in box
form, it is easy to make it so by leav-
ing them off. Box shaped jackets are
shown now and may be single or dou-
BILE breasted. An amateur would bet
ter avoid the double breasted ones.
Good pyjamas cost more money ready
made than the most of us feel able to
pay, and yet poor qualities are scarcely
worth buying. They are easy to make,
and all men agree that they are in ev-
cry way preferable to nightshirts. And
they are far easier to wash, which
should count also in their favor.
There Is soft madras like the strip
ed goods of that name. but this Is
loosely woven and slightly fiocked like
outing flannel, but is softer, and the
colors are fast. That is most neces-
sary, for after one has made the pyja-
mas one does not wish them to fade
out with one or two washings. 1t
takes about five yards of this to make
