SWEET CORN CANNERIEs.

A short distance from where the
writer lives Is a sweet corn cannery
where more corn is canned each year
than in any other cannery in the world,
the annual product being upward Of
100000 cans. The presence Of this
cannery has quite changed the crop
production Of the farms tributary to 1t,
immense areas of sweet corn being
planted each year, which one year with
another returns the growers about $50
per acre besides two tons or thereabout
of very choice fodder. This crop, har-
vested when in the milk, makes a very
light draft upon the fertility Of the
soil, fact which has much to COM
mend it. 1t further requires but a min
imum amount Of hired help to produce
II and prepare 1t for market.

Every person interested in good

discuss the different methods of hand
ling the machinery and material that
we have for building roads. Each and
everyone will have an indisputable
right to express his opinion and any
suggestions made will receive careful

Wintering Breeding Cattle.

Last weeks Homestead. of Des
Moines, Iowa., contains an admirable
article by W. P. Harmed, of Vermont,
Mo-, on the subject of "Wintering
Breeding Cattle" 1t is a splendid
presentation of live topic from a
practical point of view and we wish
every farmer and breeder in Winnie
sheik county could not only read it
and make study Of it, but become a
regular reader of The Homestead,
which teens from week to week with
just such articles. Every agricultural
expert writer or authority in the
middle West is regular contributor
to this fine farm paper, which also
has valuable departments devoted to
horticulture. poultry, sheep. dairying,
veterinary. farm law, home topics,
Sunday school lessons, etc.. making
it without superior in it's particu.
lar field, if, indeed, it has an equal.
The time has come when farming can
be made profitable only BY adopting
advanced and progressive methods,
and when you can get the ideas of
such practical breeders as W. P. Harmed
every week by simply subscribing fer
farm paper, it is simply common
sense to do SO. We shall be glad to
take subscriptions for the Homestead
at the Public Opinion Office.

WHAT SORT OF A wINTERs

The long range weather prophets are
predicting all sorts Of winter weather.
They are working the goose bone, the
pigs milt, the corn husk, the muskrat
and the stars and getting all kinds of
weather. The funny thing about this
business is that there are lots of people
who believe these fake predictions. No
live man can forecast the weather
three months or even one week ahead.
The laws which govern the universe,
which produce cold or hot or wet or
dry seasons, are not understood and
probably never will be. Experience
shows, however, that extremes Of heat
and cold, Of drought and food, follow
each other with considerable regulari-
ty as season types; that dry and hot
summers are quite generally followed
by mild winters and wet summers by
cold winters. Further than this 1t is
useless to attempt to forecast weather
and seasons. While the dreaming Of
dreams and the employment Of wise
men to interpret them is no longer a
recognized business, there is neverthe-
less lots Of latent superstition left in
the race, an inheritance from the an
Gent past If you live north of lati-
tude Al it is safe to bank up your
house. put up storm windows, see that
the barns and sheds are made comfort
able for the stock, have a good supply
Of fodder and fuel handy and see that
the sleds are ready for use, for the win
ter north Of this line of latitude usually
justifies all such preparation.

THAT nov.

"what to do with that boy" Is a
problem which confronts almost ev-
cry man who raises one. The girls are
expected to get married when the
proper time comes and the right fellow
comes around, and generally do, which
disposes Of them so far as parental re-
sponsibility is concerned, but the boy
is different proposition. He will feel
abundantly able to take care Of him
self, but his notions of life are too
often faulty. Only very small mi
nority Of the boys manifest marked
prediction and fitness for any par
ticular business and, like young colts,
ed for useful lives; but, as with the
colt, sense is required by the parent
in a general way, for it would be folly
to try to make race horse out of q
Percheron colt or a draft horse out
Of standard bred stock. The boy first
Of all should be insured good healthy
physique. If he takes to smoking
cigarettes and cumming it, he should
be reasoned with, and If that won't
do the business it should be licked out
Of him. This, Of course, is not pleas
ant, but it is often the best service the
father can render his son. The boy
should then be offered every possible
facility for acquiring good common
school education at least and some
thing higher and better If it is pos
sible to let him have 1t. The ignorant
man is handicapped today as never
before. Mere muscle means about $3.50
per year; the educated hand and head
can only make 1t more. Better start
the boy into the world at twentyone
well developed mentally and physically
without a dollar than to send him out
ignorant and unframed with a thou

FOR THE FARMERS WIFE.

A water supply and fuel are two
things which enter very prominently
into the domestic economy Of every
home, for water and fire every house
wife must have, whether she presides
over shanty or mansion. In lieu
Of providing these two essentials in
domestic economy some very heavy
and useless burdens are often placed
upon wives and mothers who have
enough to do even when these essen
tails are made as convenient as posi-
BILE. We know of well to do farmers
who have gone to a good deal Of ex-
pense and trouble to pipe the water
from their wells to their barns, 30 that
a water supply may be handy for their
use by just turning a faucet, who in
differently permit their wives to get
the supply Of water for the home as
best they may from a well located ten
rods from the house, men who will
have their barns guttered and leave
their wives to depend upon an old
board and a rain water barrel for a
supply Of soft water. There are few
things which every farmers wife has
q right to demand. They are hard
wood floor for the kitchen or at least
a linoleum cover for it, good cistern,
accessible by pump in the kitchen
sink; a supply Of hard, or well, water
under pressure where there is a wind
mill on the premises, and convenient
and ample supply Of fuel, convenient
ly located. This making a woman lug
water and split wood or hunt for fuel
is a relic Of barbarism. A young lady
with a farmer on the string as a pro-
spective husband will do well to have
these things settled right before the
parson gets in his work

Those of us who live on the plains,
the prairie regions where hill or bluff
hundred feet high becomes a land
mark for all the country round, often
have longing for the hills and noun
tains Of other sections-crave vision
of them as something which lifts us up
from the dead level and monotony of
level prairie landscapes. We then en-
Wy the jewellers among the hills, with
their infinite beauty and variety Of
scenery, of cloud capped SUBMITS, of
vlstas of greenery fading away into
the inflnity of space, for the sense of
shelter and protection which they give,
forgetting all the barrenness, sterility,
the painful effort of man to wrest a
living from them, the impeded means
Of communication and transportation,
the wrecking floods and all that. Still
we love the hills, and as the Indian
ever sought communication with his
gods from their SUBMITS so is the white
man lifted up and made better by vi
sions of the hills.
