Cereals In Kentucky.

Andrew A. Soule, of Kentucky, says:
There is degree of difference in the
hardihood of the various winter cere-
ais which is not generally recognized.
Rye and wheat are more generally and
successfully cultivated than any of
the other cereals because of this fact.
Winter oats and barley are more deli
cate in nature and that probably &C
counts for the Indifferent success met
with in their culture on the farm.
While these crops may succeed when
sown quite late in the season, it is
very important that they be seeded
early-from the first to the middle of
September. 1t is true that they often
succeed sown as late as the middle OF
October, but the chances of failure are
greatly enhanced by late seeding, and
the loss of the seed and the crop to-
gether is too great a risk to incur. II
winter rye is desired for fall and
winter pasture, it is necessary that 1t
be sown from the middle of August
to the middle of September. 1t can
often be sown in the corn field after
the last cultivation and as 1t makes a
quick and vigorous growth, furnishes
an excellent pasture from October I'M
til Christmas, or through the entire
winter if the season is mild.

Root Crops for Stocks.


Bulletin 1872, University of Califor-
mia: Several of the vegetables are val
liable in supplying succulence for the
ration. Among the root class the one
in most common use is the mangel
wurtzel beet, because very large guam
titles can be grown per acre and ne
cause it is palatable to all kinds OF
live stock. Carrots are also used IN
some sections, and they have the ad-
vantage of containing a slightly larger
amount of dry matter than mangeis.
OF all the roots. moreover, none are
more relished by horses than carrots.
Sugar beets are not found profitable to
grow for feeding stock, because they
yield so small a tonnage in co1npari-
son to mangels, and the greater cost
of growing and gathering can only be
undertaken on the ground of their
greater value for sugar. Potatoes con-
tain about twice as much dry matter
as mangels and three times as much
carbonaceous material. They are,
therefore, of greater food value, but,
i.se sugar beets, have too high COM
mercial value as human food to make
them profitable for stock.

Listing Corn.

Listing corn is a practice that has
grown up mainly in the last ten years.
1t is of little value in the humid states,
but has proved serviceable in the semi
arid regions, especially where the
lands are light. In Kansas and Ne
braska are sections where the soil dries
out very quickly after blowing. The
heavy and continuous winds blow the
soil after it is dry, and when rain
does not come Immediately after the
seed is sown, the seed is not infre-
quently blown away with the topmost
layers of dirt. This led to the evolu-
ton of the practice of listing. Listing
is to- place the seed in the soil without
q general blowing. The top soil is left
undisturbed for the most part, and the
high winds are unable to blow the
soil away, as it is packed solid from
the rains of the previous season. a
lister Is a plow that turns the soil both
ways and deposits the seed corn in the
farrow behind it, allowing the dirt to
fall at the same time over the dropped
seed. It's use must depend on the con-
ditions under which the farmer exists.
With a farm on heavy clay soil the
lister will be found of no value. List
ing is practiced very little in the states

Some Points on Swine Raising.

How many hogs should a farmer
keep on his farm? AS many as he
can handle profitably. This is regu-
lated to some extent by the amount
of hired help available. 1t will also
be governed by the facilities for feed
ing and caring for the animals. On
some farms the arrangements are such
that much labor is wasted. On others
the labor is reduced to a minimum
because a good system has been fig
ured out. What this system is must
depend on the individual farm and
the individual case. Sometimes the
food is all prepared in one place and
distributed. not by . man carrying a
pail of swill at time, but by some
movable box cr large tank running
on a track. Everything must be re-
duced as near to the automatic as
possible. Every reduction of this kind
increases the number of animals that
may be looked after and so increases
the profits.

Campbell Method of Soil Culture.


few years ago the Campbell meth
cd of corn culture made quite a stir
in the country, and it was claimed that
a revolution in soil tillage was immi-
nent. The method was tried quite ex-
tensively in different states and at the
experiment station. Interest in It
waned and gradually it dropped out OF
sight. Recently, however, the writer
in talking with Professor Cottreu of
the Kansas Experiment Station
learned that the Campbell method Is
still in use there and is giving excel
lent results. Especially was this true
last year when the drouth was so eX-
tensive that it annihilated crops grown
by other methods. The Campbell meth
cd necessitates the use of a disked
roller on the soil, the disks sinking
into the ground and packing the soil
some inches below the surface, but
leaving the top of the soil in a state
of looSenesS that serves as dust
mulch The theory is that the dust
mulch on top and the packed soil be-
low tend to hold the moisture and to
give it off only by way of the plant
roots. Professor Cottrell says that I'M
der this system it has been found pos
sible to raise crops with much less
than the average rainfall even in Kan
sas. The Kansas station is located on
hills and much of the surface soil is
$50 feet above water. 1t will be seen
then that it is very necessary to con-
serve all the water that comes in the
way of rain, since no form of irrigatins
is possible.
