LIMITATIONS OF THE CORN BEL

While there are many million acres
on this continent now unimproved
which may be made to produce any
Of the common cereals except corn. it
is a fact worth noting that the limita-
tons Of the corn belt are well defined
and established. and. what is Of more
Importance. such territory is fully set
tied. In other words. the territorial
area upon which the corn plant will
do well is now all in use and no fur
Their increase in the counuy's produc-
ton Of corn can be expected save as
better farming may increase the yield
per acre. This is a fact of the great
est importance as affecting all men
who may be fortunate enough to OWL
land within the limits Of such corn belt
for corn is the most valuable forage
plant and meat and milk producer
there is in all the world.
Milford chronicle. [volume] (Milford, Del.) 1878-1974, 1902-02-14

The usual losses Of stock from turn
ing it into the cornstalk fields are
reported from all directions this fall.
There is one sure remedy for this trou-
Bile, and that is to cut the corn up. for
we have never heard of a case of loss
by feeding the cat corn.
THE TEN ACRE FARM.
Any man who knows how can make
a vastly better living off a ten acre
farm situated near some good town
than he can to work at any Of the ordi-
nary trades which win bring him in a
daily income of from 50 to SO per day.
You see, when a man is so fixed that
he can keep COW, two or three pigs,
seventy-fve hens, have a first class
garden and small fruit plantation he
has got more than half of the living
for his family in sight right on his
place, saying nothing about what he
may be able to sell from it in the way
of surplus products, A good deal Of
money can be extracted from a small
piece of land when one goes the right
way to work. For Instance, each
square rod of a wen kept asparagus
bed viii give a return of not less than
81 while a hundred punches Of celery
can be raised on the square rod of
ground which would sell in any mar
ket for nearly as much. The hens
should pay the grocery bill, the COW
furnish all the milk and butter needed,
while the pigs will I'LL the lard jar
and the meat barrel We often won
der why so many smart men are con
tent to work all their lives long for
some other man, using about all their
wages up in living expenses, when
they might be Independent, be their
own boss and live on the top shelf by
working a ten acre farm.

HOW 1--we SHOULD Hn ~

We are asked by a young man.
farmer. how late it is proper for him
to stay when he goes to see his best
girl We do not like to tackle this SORT
Of a problem. for cases differ so much.
1t all depends upon circumstances. If
our friends case is in the preliminary
stage and he is simply accommodating,
he should leave before the old folks go
to bed. unless they are Of the 8 o'clock
breed. but if he is a goner time doesn't
count. and it's all right for him TO hear
the midnight whistle Of the fast mail
as he goes home. OF course he should
be as economical Of fuel and lights
during these protracted sessions as
possible. and he probably win be with
out this suggestion.

WHY sPARRows DO NOT MIGRATE
..,..4 -. - e 4l,ot tbo Emo.

WHY sPARROWs DO NOT MIGRATE.
We are asked why it is that the Eng
lish sparrow does not migrate-seek
warmer climate when winter comes.
It is the question Of a food supply
which largely determines the migra-
lions Of birds and not because they are
not hardy enough to endure the cold Of
the winter. Thus. all wild fowls have
their food supply entirely shut of
when the lakes and rivers freeze up.
while the death or liberation of all
insect life compels the departure Of all
insectivorous birds The sparrow IS
lust simply a scavenger. his main food
supply being obtained from the partly
digested grains in the offal Of the
horse. and so It comes that wherever
horses are kept there will the sparrow
be able TO winter. Then. 1t is a very
hardy bird and one which more than
any other bird has the ability to adjust
itself to almost any climatic condition
A hailstorm In July win kill ten times
as many sparrows as blizzard il
winter
