EIGHTY BUSHELS OF CORN TO THE
ACRE.

We are asked how to raise eighty
bushels of corn to the acre. No matter
what man may do, this cannot always
be done because Of weather condi-
tons; but. assuming that 1t is to be a
good corn year. the following things
must be done: Soil selected. piece of
good land. to be clover sod. upon
which fifteen loads of barnyard ma
nure are spread before blowing; pillow
six inches deep first week in. May; disk
three times and harrow four times be-
fore planting; get selected seed; be sure
to have two stalks in hill and not
more than three; drag, after planting
every day till the corn shows abo
ground; give one deep cultivation. the
rest shallow; pillow it six times. an.
the season being good, you will get
your eighty bushels and maybe more.

THE HIRED MAN AND HIS HORSE.

THE HIRED MAN AND HIS HORSE.
Within few years past the question
Of keeping a horse for the hired man
on the farm has come to the front and
Is today in many portions Of the west
at least a very live one. The farmer
who employs help very naturally does
not take kindly to this proposition,
claiming that the keep Of such a horse
is an added expense to him, that time
which should be put in in caring for
his own horses is used by the hired
man in caring for his horse and that
the keeping of such horse, with buggy
attachment. has a tendency to keep
the hired man out late at night giving
the girls buggy rides. But hired men
are scarce and good ones hard to get,
and so in most cases the farmer has to
submit to what he thinks, with good
reason, is an imposition. 1t stands
about like this: Through much of the
agricultural west the man is paid from
$24 to SIS per month. some of them
$50. He gets the best of board. his
washing and horse kept on the fat Of
the land. If he has not got snap, who
has? At present prices he costs the
man who hires him not less than $45
per month.

We like the headand of grass around
the borders of the cultivated fields
1t always improves the looks of the
farm and almost compels the moving
of the fence row. While the hay Sc.
cured from 1t may not be worth so
much as the corn or other grain which
might be grown upon 1t, we still would
have 1t for looks and convenience.

II a farmer expects his women folks
to take care of the garden, he should
in all fairness prepare piece Of ground
for the garden in the very best posi-
BILE manner, and 1t should be in long
strip. so that he may run his cultivator
through it frequently. The small square
garden made up Of beds and worked
with a spade, hoe and hand rake is the
hardest way of all to care for the gar.
den.

The productive capacity Of the great
northwest so far as wheat, rye, barley,
oats, potatoes and all root crops are
concerned can hardly be comprehend
ed. While the limits Of the corn belt
are now pretty well defined, there is a
vast territory lying north and west Of
the corn belt where the cereal and root
crops mentioned can be produced in
the greatest perfection and in almost
unlimited quantities.

In the pioneer days on western
farm we paid 20 per cent for the use
Of money with which to buy seed grain,
pay taxes and hire help. That was
not the worst of it, for wheat had to
be hauled a distance Of forty miles to
market to get the money to pay such
a rate of interest. 1t was no wonder
time to get out Of the woods.

We went by a farmyard the other

There are some queer notions out
west. A sheepman fed 10000 sheep
during the winter at a certain place in
the corn belt. The amount of valuable
fertilizer left by these sheep in their
yards may be imagined, and it was Of
fered to any farmer who would haul II
away. Nobody wanted it, but after
three months one man was found who
agreed to take 100 loads. and after he
commenced work then all his neigh
bors rushed In and wanted 1t also.
Queer. was it not?

Potatoes which are located six inches
under ground are not as easy to dig
as those which are killed up on the sur
face OF the ground, but they are nearly
always OF better quality. When pota-
toes lie within two inches of the sur
face. the heat Of the sun impairs their
quality.

We recently read pathetic little
yarn about man going to an auction
sale where he put up for sale a pair
of old horses which he had raised and
worked with for twenty-four years
and how he had bad crying spell
when the auctiOneer knocked them
down to some horse trader for a nomi-
nal sum. We do not see why, IL he
thought so much of the old team and
could no longer keep them. he was not
tender hearted enough to have them
humanely killed and decently buried
instead of shifting over the results Of
one of the meanest things which a
man can do.

Macaroni wheat is becoming a very
popular cereal for North Dakota. In
common with speltz it will endure
drought much better than any of the
domestic varieties of wheat. There is
an almost unlimited demand for it, and
its Introduction bids fair to greatly ex-
tend the wheat growing area of the
northwest country.

We heard an Indiana farmer say not
long since that he always raised good
