IMPROVING
pense If the System Here De-
sc:ibcL Is Carried Out.

Very few pastures, compared with.
the total number, supply anything
like the feed that they would if
given proper care. With the increas-
ing, difficulty of obtaining good farm
help, the Importance of a good pas
ture is made eve greater than in
the past. There are three general
causes Of unprcductive pastures, two
of which should be looked after at
once. They are TOO close grazing
OF the pasture, a poor stand of pas
ture plants and a failure to keep
down the weeds that ought not to
take up the moisture and plant food
that should go to make pasture, but
which by their rank and o~vershadow-
ing growth tend to smother out the
valuable plants. The first cause is
often responsible for the other two.
BY continued close cropping the
plants are weakened in vitality and
a severe dry, hot spell of weather
in the summer or cold with or with
out a covering of snow in winter re-
suits in the death of man. of the
plants. Even with a fall of snow a
field eaten close and smooth is apt
to be swept here and the crowns
of the plants left exposed. The first
thing that should be done now, be-
fore the ground gets settled and
hard to work up, is to go over and
thoroughly disc some grass and
clover seed into all thin patches.
nftnnfirooc - Sc ,,-o11 10 .ll .1-a>
oats or other small grain that will
grow up and serve as a protection
for the more delicate plants while
they are getting start. This
growth will also add materially to
the pasture supply while the clover
and grass are obtaining a foothold.
The next step toward increasing the
productiveness of the pastures is to
arrange to keep the stock off from
them until the grass gets a good
start. If these plants are kept grazed
right to the crown they are so
weakened as to make but q feeble
growth and the amount of pasture
produced will be small. Most plants
would be killed if never allowed to
accumulate any more leaf surface
than is possible with the plants in
the majority of pastures. Then be
careful also to, not Craze too close
ly the latter part of the season.:
allow sufficient development of foil
age to store up in the roots a good
supply of no%urishment for starting
them off early and vigorously anoth-
er spring. Grow some soiling crop
with which to supplement- the pas
lures this season if necessary in or
der to do this. With such treatment
you will be surprised how much
earlier your pastures will come on
and how much greater the supply
of feed they will furnish. - Prairie

Corn for seed should always be SC
lected from the most fertile portions
of the field, for there the plant has
formed the habit of appropriating
plant food than has that grown
on thin land. This may be demon
strated by planting seed from a rich
river bottom by the side of the same
kind of seed grown for a few years

They tell q good one on a prominent real
estate man of Waurika. Some time ago he
carried a prospector over on Beaver Greek
man that it was an exceptionally fine claim;
that the land did not overflow, and that
he would sell it to him for 81 1000. The man
looked around and discovered some red
mud way up in a tree and asked the real
estate man what caused that mud in the
tree tops if the land did not overflow. The

country which used to range on the creek
and that they rubbed.the mud on the trees.

claim, but that he would give him 81, 1000

SNAILS FROM FRANCE.
Imported in Enormous Quantities by
the High Livers of New York
and New Orleans. se

Grass hoppers and snails and such
small deer are supposed to be con-
fined to the dietary list of the Dig
ger Indians; it may therefore be a
little surprising to learn that the
most fastidious buyers in New York
consume about 10000 snails a week
during the winter, when they are in
season. New Orleans is another
great market for them, and during
the height of the season from sc, o
to $4,000 a week are brought into the
country. They come from Burgundy
and the Bordeaux districts of France.
where all summer long they disport
themselves on the grape leaves that
form their sole diet. Old VINEYARDS
are given over to them, and the snai1s
prove a remunerative though not
hustling crop. With the first frosts
the snails crawl into their shells,
put up their storm doors, and retire
for the winter. They are then
shipped to market, packed in sawdust
or bran to prevent breaking the
shells, and kept on ice. for if the
temperature becomes higher the
snails pop their heads out to see
whether spring has come, and are
thus damaged in transit. They sell
for $1.50 per 100, and usually retail
for about so cents a dozen. They
are cooked in a variety of ways. but
are most frequently served in the
shell, on a platter having little de-
pressions to hold them, appearing or
the bill of fare as escargots a la
Bordelaise. Snails are now devised
for consumptives, it being believed
that they are so assimilated as to
replace waste tissue, but this is no
new idea; in England a century or
more ago it was customary to order
a snail diet for people affected with
wasting diseases. Common or gar
den snails were taken raw or in
scalded milk, and this practice is still
common in rural England. = Rural

cause the management is not carried

MODERN CORN BREEDING.

That great results may be attained

by comparing some of u house

in the breeding of corn that are re-
cognized by the live stock breeder, of
which the two most important are
Like produces like under like condi-

SEED R
Although Seemingly a Small Problem,
Yet 1t Is One That Has Puzzled
Many Farmers.

Corn planters should buy their seed
corn in the ear and refuse to buy it in
any other way. This is the largest
shipping point for seed corn in the
United States, not only for the re-
tail trade, but also wholesale to seed
men. If some f. & H. readers
could see the "seed corn that
is shipped from here in carload lots
by seedmen to use in their trade
(shelled of course) you would open
your eyes.
The only way to pick out seed is in
the ear, as any farmer will admit, but

CRATE FOR SHIPPING CORN.

when it comes shelled, how are 0
going to tell how it was picked out,
by hand or with a scoop shovel? II
you insist on buying in the ear, it en-
forces an honest deal, for you can see
what you r getting. If the seed
man really has good corn, he will be
glad to ship it that way, for he can
get the credit at once for having
something fine.
The only trouble is in the shipping,
and l confess it puzzled me for some
time. / tried sacks, but the railroad
men simply pounded the life out of
them, even when each was
wrapped in paper, and they arrived
all in a muss. A box or barrel was
nearly as bad. After some expert.
menting, I tried shipping in the
crate. 1t holds or was meant to hold
u pounds net, a good big bushel, but
1 find they often overrun and some
weigh as high as II net. The top is
made of fve-eighths box lumber, the
corners of two by two elm and the
Stats Of one by three hard pine,
dressed. The ears are put in from,
one side, or edge rather. and are laid
in ''heads and tails" SO they will fit
tight. The corn is left rounded up
at the side and when the last two
Stats are nailed on it tightens the
corn like heading a barrel. I have
shipped corn hundreds of miles in
them and it has always arrived in
perfect condition. The corn show;
on every side and a card on each side

real seed corn" There is no patent

says:
"With my nightly rest broken, ow-
ing to irregularities of the kidneys,
suffering intensely from severe pains
in the small of my back and through
the kidneys, and annoyed by painful
passages of abnormal secretions, life
was anything but pleasant for me.
No amount of d%octoring relieved this
condition, and for the reason that
nothing seemed to give me eve tenn
porary relief, I became about dis
couraged. One day l noticed in. the
newspapers the case of a man who
was afflicted as I was and was cured
by the use of Doan's Kidney Pills.
His words of praise for this remedy
were SO sincere that on the strength
of his statement I went to the Hugh
Murrey Drug Co.'s store and got a
box. I found that the medicine was
exactly as powerful q kidney remedy
as represented. I experienced quick
and lasting relief. Doan's Kidney
pills will prove a blessing to all suf-
ferers from kidney disorders who will
give them n fair trial"
