BaiIing Shredded Corn.

Since it has been demonstrated that
corn slower is economically shredded
much of this work is being done and
it has been noticed that considerable
of this shredded slower Is being put
on to the market in sections where
considerable feed has to be bought.
OF course this baling is done by men
who are familiar with baling hay,
but there is no reason why the farm
er cannot do it himself If he Is To-
Gated near q market, where there Is
likely to be a demand for the slower
put up In such manner. Where
there is shortage Of the hay crop or
of crops used by stock as roughage
there is likely to be a market for
the baled slower.
Care must be used, however, to
have it properly cured before 1t Is
baled. It should be cured in the
shock as much as possible and then
finished in the barn. After the stov-
er is shredded it will usually sweat
some and when this Is over it is fit
to bale. 1t is advised that one look
into the conditions near at home and
see what the opportunities are for q
market for baled corn stover.-St.
Paul Dispatch.

old Fashioned Ribbon cak

Old Fashioned Ribbon Cake.
1t is made after any good recipe for
white cake, with chocolate and
fruit added to the middle layer.
Much latitude is allowed In mixing
this middle layer. some people pre-
fering to leave it rather plain and
others making it very rich indeed
The following is good: After mix
ing the cake, divide it into three parts
and bake two of them in layers three
inches deep. Add to the third part
one cupful of raisins, one cupf,ll Of
currants, one quarter of a pound Of
citron, two teaspoonfuls of molas-
ses, two teaspoonfuls of brandy and
a dash of spice. When baked put tbs
layers together with icing, press
tightly to insure the layers sticking,
and cover with icing. This recipe
makes large cake.

Doubling the Yields.

There are but few farmers, compar-
ed with the whole number, who do
not plant a larger acreage then they
can attend to proftabAg, the conse-
quence, being smaller crops in proper
ton to cost than should be the case
Instead of forty bushels of corn per
acre the farmer should secure eighty
bushels The smaller yield is more
expensive than the larger, while the
time expended on twenty acres Is
much greater than on ten, the manure
also being distributed over too large
a surface to permit Of any portion OF
the crop receiving a sufficiency OF
plant food If the expense and labor
bestowed on twenty acres could be
concentrated on ten, the yields would
be doubled, and leave~the farmer ten
acres on which to grow some other
crop. In periods of drouth the farmer
who puts his work on the smaller plat
will give 1t better cultivation and save
his crop, while other farmers may not
be SO fortunate. Intensive culture
leads to systematic rotation of crops,
and the land will be improved by a
diversity Of crops. All farmers have
manure, but they derive little benefit
therefrom, because they endeavor to
apply 1t over too much land. Give
the land the plant food and 1t will re
pay for all expense bestowed.-Amer-
lean Fertilizer.

Selling Turkeys,

The largest and best turkeys bring
the most money. But don't sell
them all because you are greedy for
money and keep inferior stock for
breeders. The breeding stock should
be selected from earliest matches. Be
sure they are healthy in every way
They should not be overgrown. Me-
dunn sized turkeys, with well rounded
bodies and large through the breast,
have strong vital organs and will be
found satisfactory for breeding the
coming season.

Grain and Milk Production.

Results as shown in the milk pail
do not indicate so much difference,
pound for pound, in the various feeds
of the same class as Is sometimes
claimed. Cottonseed meal, Hnseed
meal, either new or old process, high
grade gluten meal, may either one be
instituted for another in a mixed ra-
ton without showing much difference
in the amount of milk. Whole meal
from corn or wheat or oats, barley or
buckwheat will produce about the
same yield whichever grain is ground.
In buying all the relative feeds the
market cost would be the main thing
to consider were it not that some
feeds have peculiar effects on the di-
gestive and milk-producing organs,
and that the richness Of manure va
ries considerably according to the
feed. The best all-around results are
obtained by mixture OF the leading
feeds, varied in proportions Of each
according to the market. Bran is the
bulk maker, and should be part of
all winter rations where much grain
and dry fodder are used--Massachu-
sets Ploughman.

Iron Kettle Support.

An Iowa Homestead correspondent
Eescribes an article handy to have at
butchering time. 1t is stand for the
big iron kettle. Take a piece Of
wagon tire and bend it into circle
10 that it will fit the kettle about half
way up the side; then rivet or weld
the ends together and fasten the legs
to this by rivets or welding. The
legs should be turned out at the bot
tom so they won't sink into the
ground. The height of the legs should
be about twelve inches. I prefer
riveting, as it is so much easier done
and can be done on the farm, while

Farm, Notes.

The hard keeper is the horse to SELL
The easy keeper is the one to keep.
Give the horse bath occasionally.
BY bathing the shoulders and keeping
the collars clean, many cases of CALLED
shoulders might be prevented.
It Is a poor rule that viii not work
both ways This rule applies to agri-
culture. The conditions that cause a
large yield Of any product win also
cause lower prices for the same.
The history of every country has
been that fertility decreases until a
certain stage has been reached when
farmers come to themselves and sys-
tenn is ushered in that will bring back
or increase fertility.
To keep seed corn it should be in a
dry place and not exposed to severe
cold Selected ears should be. hung
up where the air circulates freely, but
in warm room. Corn thus kept sell
dom fails to terminate.
Should the implement shed have but
one door or opening it will be good
plan to store the machinery so that
which will be used first in the spring
can be obtained without removing the
rest of the machinery in the building.
The reason for this is obvious.
There is need Of some science In
hauling out manure One needs to know
the conditions Of soil, the kind of crops
to be grown, the season to apply and
the character of the manure to be ap-
piled.
Good results with potatoes have been
secured by mulching between the rows
with straw as a protection during the
dry season and for keeping down
weeds. The mulching with straw has
long been known, and has its advo-
Gates, but one objection Is that the
straw serves as harboring place for
insects.

Catching Sheep.

A sheep should never be caught by
its wool. This method not only
causes the animal unnecessary pain,
but in the case Of fat sheep, that are
to be killed, it does much harm to
the joint Of mutton that lies under
meath where the wool was pulled. 1t
causes dark bruise just in the same
manner as our bodies become discol-
ored from being bruised. Califor-
MIA sheepman advises that the proper
way to catch sheep Is to take It
either by the hind leg just above the
gambrel joint, or by putting the hand
underneath its jaw or neck. In using
a crook it is important that the sheep
are not caught below the gambrel
joint, as injury to the leg is liable
to result from this.-New England

o,rc1y IS GOOD POLICY.


If young man starts out in life
with the determination to be abso-
Iutely honest, to be successful he
must know that the people he dwells
with are honest. Otherwise he will
not cut much Of a figure in the bust
ness world. At least, he will have to
devise a plan which will insure hon
estv on their part when he is dealing
with them In business this quality
will be valuable. And the most diff
cult step in the progress of an honest
business man is to continually let his
possession of this quality be general
