We note, as usual, this fall the old
chestnut going the rounds that light
frost would help the belated corn to
mature. This is an error, for under no
circumstances will frost ever prove
beneficial to immature corn. If the
crop is not well ripened and frost is
looked for it is infinitely better to cut
up the crop and let 1t ripeH on the
Juices Of the stalk in the shock.

When the COW comes to be the cor
ner stone of farm administration she
always works a marvellous change and
always for the better. No store bills
are run up, she is soon followed by the
big red barn, the crops begin to in
crease and the land become more fer
tile, while before long a bank account
takes the place of that old blister of
farm mortgage. 1t always works this
way.

We note that the most successful
manner in which to rid field of MORN
ing glories or bindweed is to seed it
down and pasture it two years with
sheep. This process will fix most of the
other weeds as well.

Modern methods of transportation
have practically annihilated distance.
A bushel of oats or corn is worth as
much today 120 miles northwest of St.
Paul as it is within twenty miles of
Chicago. The farmers of the far west
are getting the benefit of the long haul
car load rate, and, so far as prices for
farm products are concerned, if man
Is located within easy distance Of his
market town it makes but little differ
ence whether he has farm in central
Illinois or northwestern Minnesota.

Abnormally wet seasons always in
sure poorer crops and smaller profits
than abnormally dry ones. In dry
season a man is able to save what he
raises, while in a wet one the loss is
enormous on every hand.

We have two neighbors who have
grown a crop of popcorn this year. 1t
has cost no more to raise than other
corn, but they will realize nearly $50
per acre from their crop.

Corn, which is unusually backward
this year owing to the excessive rains
and prevailing low temperature of the
central west. is, we notice, at least ten
days ahead where it was planted on a
clover sod over that planted the same
time on other soils. Here is practical
fact worth needing.

There is no agricultural prosperity in
the whole world like that enjoyed by
the western farmer who feeds out the
raw material raised on his farm-the
seller of beef, pork, mutton, wool, eggs
and poultry. The farm of such man
inevitably becomes richer and more
productive each year.

1t has been a wet season in the west,
but we have not had thirtyseven inch
es of rain during the month of June,
as they did in Manila.

The two great problems which worry
the American tiller Of the soil more
than any others are how to get water
on the land and how to get it off from
the land.

Alaska is bound to keep advertised
as an agricultural possibility. We have
reports now of a yield of $50 bushel;
of potatoes to the acre, selling there al
several dollars a bushel.

If along in late August or early Sep
TENDER you hit on a horrible and pu-
trid stink in the orchard or garden. and
go on hunt to find the dead cat or
some other unburied thing and cannot
find it you just look close and see if
you can find something which looks
like a big toadstool. If you find this
you have discovered the source of the
bad odor, q stink horn. 1t will usually
be found growing on the remains of
some decaying stump or rubbish. Just
as the color and odor in flowers are de-
signed to secure their fertilization by
thus attracting insect life, so this rank
odor invites the carrion flies, which
carry off and distribute its spores or
seed.

Neatness and attractiveness in the
matter of putting up fruits for the mar
ket and, what is of more Importance,
honesty in packing count for so much
in price obtained and profit that the
wonder is so many still think that APP
pearance counts, for nothing and that
an honest pack does not pay. The Sc
curing of a consignment of apples with
no small ones in the center of the bar

The preparation Of the soil for the
roses in the florists greenhouse is one
of the most important things connected
with their success. 1t is done in this
way: Along in early June a blue grass
turf on a stiff clay soil is plowed about
two inches deep. The turf is then piled
in fiat topped heaps three feet high,
where ii rots under the heat and moiS-
ture of the summer. This turf soil is
then mixed with one-third its bulk Of
rotten COW manure and forms the ideal
rose soil. This may give hint to those
of our readers who like to grow roses,
for this preparation of the soil is just
as applicable to the outdoor culture of
roses as it is for the greenhouse.
