Producing . Corn Crop


From The Farmers Review: The
thing most necessary is the blowing
of the land. as I think the cultivation
of the corn crop begins with the prop
er blowing of the land. On my farm
we plow all land intended for corn in
the fall Of the year and we pillow an
average depth of six inches. We use
for this work the tricycle. or three
wheel pillow, cutting a sixteen-inch fur
row. The principal reason for plow-
ing deep is to form a good mulch over
the land that we may be able to retain
the moisture late IN the season ana
prevent evaporation In the sprlng
when the proper time arrives, we pre-
pare a good seed bed and plant our
corn, and then, in a few days. we put
the spike harrow on and harrow thor
oughly. sometimes going both ways OF
the field, as we find for the first cui-
nvation this to be not only very rapid
hut very thorough. One man and four
horses will cultivate forty acres in a
day. Now you Of course understand
the season has much TO do with the
method of cultivation. Now, as to the
kind of cultivator. we have used most
all kinds OF corn cultivators and ex-
perimented Qu1te little along this
line, and we have arrived at this con-
clusion: After the narrowing we use
the six-shovel sulky cultivator for the
drst and second working l mean BY
the second working the Cross blowing
land I want to say right here that we
pillow corn only three times, believing
more is rather an injury than bene-
dt), and now for the third or last
blowing. We throw aside the shoveis
entirely and use the surface, cultivat-
or. We give ,as our reason for max
ing, this change that with this tmpie-
ment we can keep out OF the roots OF
the corn, which is absolutely neces-
sary in this last cultivation, besides
leaving the surface Of the field almost
level, and forming a dust mulch all
over the land, which tends to check
evaporation and hold the moisture
among the roots OF the ccrn. Some
of my brother farmers may say we
can't afford so many kinds of plows
and to this / would say we have the
combined shovel and surface plow, this
surface attachment costing about 50
extra
NOW as TO the second question us "
the failure of the corn crop in this
section, would say l am situated In
the corn belt Of Illinois and we never
have any failures. We sometimes
have a short corn crop, like the pres
ent one. The short crop Of this year
we attribute to dry weather and hot
winds, more, l think, on account of
the hot winds than dry weather. l
have been on the farm fifty years and
I never saw such a visitation of hot
winds before. This came just as the
tassel was making its appearance,
young and SO tender from its folds that
in many instances it was killed, hav-
ing, of course, no power to pollenize,
hence SO many barren stalks, and l
think these causes are consequently
navoidable.-W. g. Harold.

The notorious "Hole-in-the-wall," in
former years a rendezvous for cattle
"rustlers," murderers and train and
bank robbers, is soon to be thing OF
the past. The county commissioners
have called for bids for blasting out
a section of the high wall of red sand
stone, through which a small stream
now flows and along which there Is a
narrow trail leading through the wall
of rock to the fertile valleys within.
1t is proposed to widen this trail
which was used by outlaws for many
years, and which, guarded by a few
men, made the hole veritable fort
ress, so that freight teams and Or
binary vehicles can pass in and out
of the hole-in-the-wall country.
Several hundred pounds of dynamite
and giant powder will be used in the
work. In many places hundreds of
tons of rock will be blasted away from
the walls, while at other spots only
a few feet of rock will be removed.
An old, tumbledown log house was
for many years the Headquarters of
the outlaw band. 1t was only mile
from the entrance to the hole" and

Why Some Feeders Lose Money,

a gentleman visiting the university
farm, and being present when the
steers were fed, picked out what he
regarded as the three best animals IN
the bunch. as matter Of fact, these
were the three most inferior animals
and had made the poorest gains of
any. This gentleman was then feed
ing 100 cattle Of his own. 1t certainly
would not be surprising IL man with
so little knowledge OF animal value as
indicated by exterior developments
should make a failure of cattle feed
ing.

DIR. Henson Marital Jars

Henson's church, said a Chicago law

all the fap-doodle that followers II
fashion could think ola maid of
honor. half a dozen bridesmaids, best
man and ushers galore, who wore
their new dress suits with the aplomb
of experienced head walters. There
were a lot of children-fower girls to
scatter violets at 81 buEch for the
whole procession to walk on, and a lit
tie chap with the wedding ring on
white satin pillow. He was SO excited
over his office that / had nervous
chill for fear he would spill the ring
before he reached the chancel rail.
Happily the imposing wedding party
got in and out again without any mis-
haps and after the ceremony l con-
graduated DIR. Henson on the artistic
side OF the wedding.

The secretary Of agriculture sayy1
In order 70 prevent the introduction
Of animal plaguoe IN inspection ser
vice is maintained ct our principal
seaports and along our frontier. Quar-
antine stations have been established
for animals coming from countries
where contagious disease exists. There
were Guaranteed at these stations
during last year $50 cattle, 525 sheep,
81 swine and 118 animals for menag-
cries and geological parks. There
were also admitted, after inspection
and in some cases quarantine, over
$4,000 animals from Canada and about
100000 from Mexico. The examine
ton of this vast aggregate of imported
animals, amounting in all to over q
third of a million, is most RESPONSE
BILE task, but so far it has been sue
cessfully conducted, and none OF the
exotic plaques of the domesticated an
imals has been allowed to reach our
territory. With our enormous invest
ment in animals that are susceptible
to such plaques, it is clearly a duty
which the government owes to our
stock raisers to maintain this inspec-
ton and quarantine with the. utmost
rigidity. The ravages OF the rinder-
pest as it is sweeping over the African
continent should be an object lesson
indicating the terrible destruction
which such a disease would cause
among our immense herds of valuable
stock.
The tremendous possibilities of loss
from imported contagion suggest that
possibly the time has come when 1t
might be we'll for US to consider
whether It would not be best for us to
follow the example Of Great Britain
and exclude entirely live stock from
other countries. Inspection and quar-
antine, however, carefully and con-
scientiously performed, are acknowl-
edged by most countries to be only
relative and rot an absolute guaranty
OF protection. Should not our animal
industry have the most complete safe
guards thrown around 1t which the
experience Of the world has shown to
be required for the most absolute and
perfect protection? In this connection
we are reminded that some of the ter
ritory which has recently come under
our flag is believed to be infected with
animal plaques and parasites unknown
to the United States, and that may
work great injury If they are trans
ported to our soil. It would appear to
be wise for such legislation to be en-
acted as would provide against ami
mails from this territory being allowed
to enter our ports, whether these an
imals are brought by individuals or
returning troops

The gun is of white pine and very
light. It is after the model of the Win
chester. and when completed will be

cadets need in accustoming then to
the manual. The rifles used by the
young men are too heavy.
It is the present intention of Cap
tain Yates and those in charge of the
military department OF the university
to have the cadet corps of the univer-
sity take part in the Inauguration Of
Governor Richards and other state Of.
ficials at Cheyenne on the 5th of Jan
uary. and to have the young ladies head
the list in the parade to be reviewed
by the governor and his staff. Wheth-
er this plan will be carried out depends
upon circumstances. It is hoped to
hay" the girls Uniformed and proper
ly drilled by that time. The young
men are already fit to appear before

COMING ATTRACTION AT

When a farCiCal comedy can tour the
restricted territory bounded by the At
lantic ocean. the Mississippi river. the
great lakes and the Ohio river for two
years. and doubles its first years bust
ness the second year, and when it can
its seond years figures by a suhstan-
tial amount. it cannot be denied that
that particular f@arCiCal comedy has
something about il which COmmendS
it peculiarly to the public taste. and
when that same f~arcical comedy "a
play for three years in the same terri
tory without eve getting an adverse
criticism and is pronounced by the
critics everywhere as being the very
Clcvcrest of American comedies" then
it can be pretty safely assumed that
