An eight inch square box perforated
with auger holes laid the length Of the

preventing the corn from spelling if it
is not thoroughly dry when picked.

Taking cows as they average and
dairy rations at an average price. it
will cost not far from II cents per day
to keep the dairy COW. With this basis
to figure from it should not be very diff

COW paid her way or not.

In 1901 the acreage of corn in this
country was 91,349,92S acres, produc-
ing 1922, 519,S91 bushels. In 1902 there
are 94,870,000 acres, producing 1852
10000 bushels. This means cheaper
meats before long.

interesting to know why these birds
shun this particular locality.

The man who raises the best things
of their kind is never bothered to find
a market for them. 1t is only the men
who produce the mediocre and low
grade stuff who have trouble in finding
buyers. Ten men raise common stuff
and common stock where one raises
only the best, and right here opens a
field for agricultural development and
progress which is almost illimitable in
extent.

Experiments at the Illinois station
have shown that corn varies very
much in the amount of protein which
it contains, it having been already bred
up from s to 10 per cent of protein.
Further experiments which are being
made indicate that this amount of pro
tein can be still further increased by
careful selection. There is no one
thing being done in the line of expert
mental agriculture which is of more
Importance than this of increasing if
possible the per cent of heterogeneous
matter in our corn.

The country has had three short po-

we drew upon foreign countries for
about the same amount.

A farmer in southern Minnesota is
the owner of horse which of his own

it was no small job to get him back to

The main thing with a boy is to wake
him up and get him to have some sort
of realization of what he is capable
of-of the possibilities which life holds
out for him. For this reason it pays
to send the boy away from the some
what limited environment of the farm
to some good agricultural school,
where he is brought into touch with
other bright and ambitious boys and
introduced into the larger field of sci
entifie agriculture, When boys high
est ambition is to take life as it is and
have good time, the material is there
out of which to make mighty poor
stick of a man.

Some of the things which make loss
and trouble on the farm are trying to
work too many acres, poor grade of
stock kept, lack of systematic rotation
of crops, too little clover, poor seed, ex-
posed and uncared for farm machin-
cry, marketing haphazard and weeds.
These. sources Of waste and loss are
each and all within the power of any
man to remedy in some degree if not
entirely to remove.

stance, a farmer should be known as
the producer of some one farm product
of the very best of its kind to be found,
we care not whether it be some sort of
crop raised or some kind of stock kept.
If he produces the very best Of its
kind, it serves to give him a name and
reputation as well as to bring dollars
to his pocket.

Science takes just as kindly to the
business of agriculture and does as
much for it as it does for any other
profession. The miner, the manufac-
turer and the railroad corporation
maintain the closest relations with
science, and often the best paid en-
ployees in such lines are men whose
sole business is to apply science in the
largest degree to practical work.

The fellows who are believers in
signs are out these days prophesying.
One says that because the summer
has been abnormally cool we shall have
a warm winter and cites as evidence
the fact that the cornhusks have open
ed early, the rat houses are small and
that there is some kink OF other about
the breastbone of the goose. Another
says that there will be deep SHOWS and
much intense cold, as such winters al
ways follow such summer as that Of
1902 The fact is that one can get any
sort of winter predicted if he can
only strike the right prophet The truth
is that the whole kit and caboodle of
them know nothing about the weather,
and the only advice worth giving Is to
get the crops all harvested and secured,
fix house, barns and sheds up snug for
the winter and get good supply of
fuel handy and then notify the weather
clerk to let her go.

We are asked why 1t is that there
are so many lawyers and SO very few
farmers representing the people in con-
gress and in our state legislatures. 1t
is the farmers own fault. The lawyer
early in his career acquires the gift of
CAB. the ability to speak In public, and
he naturally gravitates into a political
spellbnder and soon acquires the art
of hypnotizing the grangers into think
ing that he is better fitted than they
are to make laws and administer the
functions of government When the
granger wakes UP, this thing win not
