Corn Planting.

Many of the tests at experiment sta
tons have shown better yields from
planting moderately early, rather than
very early; from planting larger num-
Der or kernels per acre than most good
farmers think advisable; from planting
small growing varieties, in rows closer
together than is best for large varie-
ties; from giving shallow and level cul-
tivation rather than deep and ridged
cultivation; from planting rather shall
low early and deeper in late planting.
Other trials have seemed to show that
very frequent cultivation does not re-
pay it's cost; that it is important to cul-
tiyate as soon as may be after rains;
thst deep cultivation while the stalks
are small may lie helpful, if followed
by shallow culture, says the agricul-
tural column of the Hartford Times. 1t
also adds that the farmer will be bet
ter satisfied if he tries some expert
ments of this kind himself, and tries
them more than one season, that he
may be sure that the change in method
and not the season has changed results.
With all of which we agree.

The reports of the United States De-
partment Of Agriculture indicate that
in the States of California, Colorado,
Nebraska and Michigan the sugar beets
can be grown of such quality that they
can be used probably for sugar max
ing, if they can be bought cheaply
enough. This also is true Of some sec
tons of New York, and few tests lead
them to believe that they also can be
grown in Utah, Idaho and Oregon, with
a percentage of sugar high enough to
warrant sugar being made from them.
But several hundred samples tested
from Iowa showed that the sugar con-
tent fell just short of the average stand
ard fixed for successful manufacture.
OF Illinois and Indiana beets the re-
port says, both the contents Of sugar
and co-efficient Of purity were below
the standard" Of Kansas it is reported
that 1.-The climate is not suitable for
growing high-grade beets." In Okla

vorable, and the chemists report that,

tries to make as favorable report as
possible for the new industry, but it has
nothing to say about the profit or loss
to the farmers, who cannot average tif-
teen tons to the acre, and must cart
them or pay transportation to the fac
tory at a price of 81 per ton. In this
State it would be hard to get man to
load them, carry them five miles and
unload them for much less than that
after they were grown and harvested.

INTERESTING EXPERIMENT.
Bursting Strong Cask With Half a
Pint of Water.

That small quantity of water, say
half a pint, may be made to burst
strong cask seems startling state
ment to make, and yet is it true. 1t
is a well-known law of physics that
the pressure exerted by liquids in
creases in proportion to their depth.
Suppose, therefore, that we have a
strong cask filled with water and
standing on end. The slaves of this
cask may be made to burst apart by
adding a very small quantity of water
to what is already in the cask. AS
the cask is already full, some way of
adding the water must be devised. To
do this a hole is bored in the end or
head of the cask, and a long tube Of
small diameter is inserted upright.
At the upper end of the tube is a small
funnel into which water is poured I'M
til the tube becomes full, and when
that point is reached the cask will
burst. This seems almost incredible,
but it is only a demonstration of the
law that has been cited. When the
water is poured into the tube it unites
with the water in the cask, and the
depth of the water is several times as
great as that in the cask alone. The
fact that there is only small guam
tity of water in the tube makes no diff
ference. for it is now one body, and
it's depth is gagged from the top Of
the tube to the bottom of the cask.
AS a matter of fact, this expert
ment is only an artificial reproduction
of what we know takes place in ma
ture Some of her greatest conyul-
sions are caused by this very process.
Suppose, for example, that there is
great mass of rock under which there
is a cavity filled with water that has
no outlet. Suppose, moreover. that
there is a crack extending from the
surface of the ground through this
mass of rock to the water filled cav
ity underneath. A rock in this con-
dition is a common thing in nature,
the crack being caused by some dis
turbance of the earth, or its split
ing in the natural order of things.
Now when it rains enough to fill that
crack. thus increasing the depth of
the water in the cavity the pressure
will become so great that the rock
will be torn into hundred fragments.

Selecting Varieties.

If your strawberry market pays high
prices for early fruit, large, highly col
ored and attractively packed, it would
be foolish for one to raise mainly the
mi6-season sorts and market them I'M
attractively. If potatoes bring good
prices and cabbages are a drug. don't
raise cabbages. II white eggs are want
ed, don't keep fowls that lay brown
eggs, and vice versa. On the other
hand, if the best market is for the car
cass. keep Plymouth Rocks for this
trade and use the brown eggs at home
If they cannot be sold for fair price.
In short, all along the line, raise what
the market demands and do not try to
educate the public to some article it
does not want, simply because it seems
the best article TO you.

Renovated Butter.

Renovated butter is several degrees
worse than oleomargarine, in our opin-
ion, which is based on actual knowledge
of the processes by which the two are
made. We have said and repeat that
between the two frauds we greatly pre-
fer oleomargarine because it cannot
possibly be made of more uncleanly
materials than are used in making
process butter, and very often is made
In a clearly manner from materials
that, in themselves, are not unwhole-
some.
The extent to which renovated butter
has influenced the markets of the coun-
try is not fully appreciated or there
would have been a stronger demand for
its regulation long before this.-Dairy

Nothing cures a dog that kills sheep
so quick as a shotgun.
Plenty of clover will go a long way
toward making a farm profitable.
A cow that is well cared for is a
source of comfort and profit to her
owner.
Bee-keepors should develop a home
market rather than send their products

In these days of close competition
every farmer must give the closest at.
tention to every detail.
There is no longer any profit in max
ing butter that cannot be classed
among the best grades.
The man who owns ten or more
COWS and is without a separator is
standing in his own light.
It's poor policy to compel animals to
drink water that the farmer would not
think of touching himself.
When in the natural state poultry
live on seeds, grass and insects. Try
to follow this as nearly as possible
when feeding them.
Many a failure in the vegetable gar
den is caused by poor seed. Purchase
whatever seed you may require from
reliable dealers only.
If a hen does not have access to
plenty of water she cannot lay many
eggs for the reason that eggs contain
more water than anything else
The farmers who are successful are
those who never lose sight of the fact
that the farm is home; that every.
thing done toward identifying and i'm
proving the place is enhancing its
value.
Plant grape vine wherever a place
can be found for one. Grapes can be

H'TOWN.


Behind that apostrophe lies the
story Of the joke which a Yich old
Indiana farmer played on the directors
of a great railroad company. The
farmer in question owned several
thousand acres of land in one body.
When the railroad was built it was
found necessary to cut through his
land. The right of way agents went
to the old farmer and asked him to
set price on strip running through
his farm a few hundred feet wide.
He laughed at them and said his
land was not for sale at any price
He didn't believe in railroads anyhow
and didn't want one running through
his property. They offered him a
huge price for the land, for they
had found other property owners in
the vicinity reasonable and did not
care to start any condemnation suits
unless it was absolutely necessary.
But the old farmer would not listen
to them. His income was twice as
large as he cared to spend, and he
rather enjoyed the position of block
ing all the efforts of a great corpora
ton.
The claim agents made up their
minds that they would have to start
suit, and were about ready to bring
it when they were surprised to get
a letter from the old farmer.
eff you'll let me name the town you
are going to build on my land" he
said, "Tll give you all the land you
need"
They accepted his terms with glee.
Of course they expected that his van,
ity would lead him to name the town
after himself, and they were quite
prepared for that emergency. But
he fooled them. A written agreement
was drawn up and signed and the
deeds passed. Then they asked him
for his name. The old man grinned
broadly.
Well call it Helltown," he said.
They argued with him until they
saw it was useless. They could not
back out, for the papers had already
been signed. Then they decided they
would get even in another way. They
elided the second, third, and fourth
letters of the name and put in their
place an innocent apostrophe. And
SO the name of the village is "H'town"
to this day.-Chicago Tribune.

Seeding with Clover.

When clover is sown early in the
spring on the crop of wheat or other
winter grain, it may cost nothing but
the price of the seed, which is not
much, whether ten or fifteen pounds is
used to the acre, and the labor of SOW
Ing, yet we would prefer to increase its
cost by going over the wheat with a
light or smoothing harrow before sow
ing the clover seed, says the New Eng
land Farmer. This will benefit wheat
or rye if done at the right time, when
the ground is not wet enough to cause
the harrow to sink too deep and uproot
the plants. This makes good seed
bed for the clover, and in day or two
after the first rain the little plants will
be sending their roots down into the
soil

There is no more reason why farm
er should hope to work advantageously
with half-worn or cumbersome tools
than the mechanic, and yet few Of them
feel that they can afford the more mod
ern tools. This is short-sighted econ
omy, and particularly so in the case of
the heavier implements, which save so
much hard labor. One of the tools that
should be on every farm where consid-
cradle manure is handled is the manure
spreader. By the use Of the manure
spreader the heavy work Of hand
spreading is not only avoided, but the
spreader breaks up the manure and dis
tributes it evenly and in such form that
it benefits the soil equally wherever it
falls. There are no heavy Jumps here
and there and scant supplies in other
places, as with hand-spreading.

Water on the Farm.


Drinking water ON farms is given but
little consideration as to it's purity
when it is derived from springs, but
many farms are supplied with water
from open wells, and its purity in such
cases depends largely upon the mode
Of protecting the well and the surround
ings. Wells being deeper than bitches
or drains, and the tendency of water
being downward, much soluble matter
gets into the well that is unknown to
the farmer. The water may appear
clear and pure, be free of odor, and yet
contain impurities. Farmers who do not
consider the matter have no concep-
ton of the many sources from which
their drinking water is obtained. 1t
comes from the clouds, of course, but it
does not fall into the well, only reach
ing it after passing through the surface
soil and dissolving the impurities. Be
cause the water passes through sand it
is not filtered of the soluble matter. If
salt is dissolved in water the salt is not
removed by tiltering, as the dissolved
salt will go with the water to the low
est place. If the we'll is open there may
be toads and insects in the water,
which drown and decompose. The wells
should be covered and the surroundings
directions. Driven wells are better than
those that are open, and should be used
in Observation-Disclosures Record.
