Restoring Worn out Land.

From the Farmers Review: Twenty
five years ago l was forced to pract1c-
ally ascertain the best way to restore
the exhausted fertility of an Illinois
farm. 1 had bought one of the Oldest
in this part of the state. The soil was
naturally good, but it had been con-
tinually cropped and poorly titled, so
that we had to pull the longest of our
first crop of oats and carry 1t for
bands to tie the bundles. Our corn
yielded 25 to 80 bushels per acre, when
others got from 40 to 60. By seeding
with grass and feeding all that was
produced and considerable purchased
grain, to sheep, cows and hogs, care
fully saving and applying all manure
l succeeded in increasing the crop-pro-
ducing elements in that soil SO per
cent in six years. / consider this the
only practical way to restore worn
out farm. Mixed farming, with good
tillage, rotation of crops and STOCK
raising combined is the only way to
maintain the fertility of any farm
Humus is necessary for the develop
ment and preparation of the plant food
in the soil. The only way to maintain
the supply is to plow under vegetable
growth or add decayed or decaying or
ganic matter.-William West, Peoria

think that he has not pastured 1t too
closely. and from the results conclude
that pasturing wheat is a great disad-
vantage to it; in fact. he thinks he
knows that he has injured his wheat
very materially. although he knows
that he has not pastured it very close
ly at any time. Another man may
pasture his wheat as closely as the
other one did his. and perhaps closer,
and at harvest conclude that he had
greatly benefited his wheat by pastur-
ing it. Now, 1 think 1t is probable
that neither of these men were mis-
taken. The one injured his wheat by
pasturing it at the wrong time. and
the other benefited his wheat by pas
turing it at the right time. think
that if grasshoppers or any other in
sects or any kind of stock cut OF
wheat near the ground soon after 1t
comes out of the ground (any time be-
fore it stools out) it will injure 1t very
materially and probably kill 1t. But
il pastured very closely after it has
made q good growth and is well stool
ed out it will do it no harm, provided
the stock is taken on before the wheat
joints. Every stalk of wheat that is
bitten on below the joint after it has
jointed is killed. Sow wheat early
enough SO that it may get good
growth in the fall. Don't pasture it
before it is well stooled out. Don't
pasture wheat when the ground is very
wet and muddy. Don't pasture it after
it has jointed. Pasture wheat all you
like after it is well stooled out and
before it joints (but not in the mud).
Pasturing wheat that is too thin on
the ground is a great advantage to 1t.
because pasturing it makes it stool out
much more than if not pastured.-B.

Fruit in Marshall County, Illinois.
From Farmers Review: There are
very few here who make anything
like speciality of fruit growing. The
fruits which are a success at all are
those that nature protects or those
that are strong enough to breast the
sudden changes of climate and insect
pests. Perhaps the most successful of
the small fruits is the strawberry. The
reason for this is that they are easily
covered with straw by the farmer, or,
IL neglected by him are protected by
the rank growth of weeds that spring
up after the fruiting season. This
protects them from the sudden and
frequent early spring changes in tenn
perature.
Cherries are generally a successful
crop, especially the Early Richmond.
The late cherries are very seldom of
much account, because of their insect
enemy, which the early cherry, to
greater or less degree, escapes The
Concord grapes are more or less of
success, depending on the spring
changes. They are very seldom total
failure. Among the larger fruits the
apple is doubtless the most sure crop.
But with apples perhaps the oldest and
most common varieties are the surest.
Among the late apples are the Ben Da-
Wis, Baldwin and Willowtwig. Among
the early varieties are Snow, Dutchess
of Oldenburg and Hightop Sweets.
Although there are many others, both
early and late which very often bear,
they are more apt to be affected by
climatic changes.
Among the pears the Old Blrkett
pear and the Kiefer are the most GER
tain. 1 have not mentioned the plum
nor the raspberry and blackberry. The
plum is too much affected by insects,
especially the late plums. The wild
goose plum gives very often good
crop. The dry weather seriously in
jures the production of raspberries
and blackberries when they escape the
spring freezing and thawing" period.

Distance Apart to Plant Corn.
For a good many years experiments
have been made at the different sta
tions in this country and Canada as to
the distance apart to plant corn to get
the best yields OF course, much de-
pends on the kind of corn grown and
on the purpose for which it is being
grown. Corn for fodder can be plant
ed closer together than can corn that is
wanted to produce grain Recent ex-
periments in Canada would seem to
indicate that corn can be profitably
grown much closer than has ordinarily
been supposed. The more common
practice is to have the rows of corn 80
inches or feet apart. In these Ca
madam experiments corn was grown in
rows 81, %, 35 and AZ inches apart In
the Maritime provinces, Manitoba and
the Northwest, the largest yields of
corn and stalks were obtained from 81
inches apart At Ottawa, Leaning
corn sown in drills 81 inches apart
gave a total yield per acre of 80 tons
and 536 pounds per acre, when cut in
the early milk stage. Such corn, how
ever, is suited only to the siIo or to be
used as fodder for cattle.

Profit in Aneoras,

From Farmers Review: Referring
to the inquiries of Mr.. Taylor will say,
in M experience during the past few
years there is no animal that walks
that is as prolific as the Angora goat
from a brush-cleaning standpoint and
also a money-making standpoint They
are much more healthy than sheep and
not in the least hard to fence in, and
they stand the cold weather well If it
is dry, but must be sheltered from the
cold rains. They are good breeders,
and you can safely count on to 100
per cent increase. There is always a
good sale for the best of mohair. They
will protect themselves from dogs and
wolves, although some of them have
been known to be killed by these
beasts. 1 would also state that have
a large flock of these Angoras near
Kansas City and can sell good recorded
does in carload lots for SO per head
and high-class does for $3.50 each and
good recorded bucks for SIS. These
goats are all young and in good con-
dition. 1 will sell q carload subject to
any ones inspection--W- T. McIntire,

From the Farmers Review: If the
marshes are underlaid with clay and
mari. and not with quicksand. and If
the material at and near the surface
is well decayed and not composed of
the bodies of large rushes and grass,
undecayed, l suggest that they be
drained if possible The first crop
may well be alsike clover and timothy.
Oats would not do well. Rape does
splendidly. Cabbage could come in
after the ground had been drained two
or three years. and grown grass or
rape. l would suggest that il the
marsh is ar all deep it should be plow-
ed as seldom as possible. After the
grass has grown a thick sod a couple
of years, pillow and plant to corn, fol-
lowing the corn with cabbage, pota-
toes, rape. but not with a straw crop
like oats and wheat. After a few
years of this kind of treatment almost
any crop can be grown OF the land

The Mission of the Experiment Station.
In 1894 the New York legislature.
feeling that the farmers of the state
had need of all the help they could
get, requested the Cornell Experiment
Station to undertake extension work
for the benefit of the farmers. Accord
ing to the law under which the Sta
ton operates, the College of Agricul-
ture is required to aid the farmers by
means of experiments with crops and
farm management, by lectures, publi-
cations, schools, teaching and any
other means which promise useful re-
suits. When the Experiment Station
workers undertook to carry out this
request it was found that although
the stations and land grant colleges
had been established for many years,
they were not m touch with the ma
jority of farmers. This seemed to be
due to the fact that much of the
teaching and experimenting was too
advanced to be understood or appre-
ciated by the average farmer. 1t thus
became evident that more elementary
teaching was necessary. This fact
has been kept in mind, therefore, in
the preparation of bulletins and an
effort has been made to present the
results of special investigations and
experiments in easy, readable, exposi-
tory bulletins. 1t has been discovered
that the usefulness of a bulletin often
depends quite as much on its attract
iveness as upon its subject matter;
that a dry bulletin does little good
to most farmers even though its teach
ings are of the utmost importance;
that such bulletins should be well
printed, handsomely illustrated, and.
above all, well edited And last, but
not least, that they should be timely.
as the effect of many a good bulletin
is lost If its publication is delayed un-
til the need for it has passed. 1t
should never be forgotten that the
experiment stations exist to help the
farmers, not the scientists.
