FARM, GARDEN
AND HOUSEHOLD
By S. A. COOK.

Z thus showing their great penetrating
power.
The lessons taught from those speci-
mems are of great Importance. In the
ordinary method of Cultivating, espe
cally the third time, the shOvels are
set deep and the soil ridged up against
the hills of corn. This is often done to
kill the weeds and because the farmer
thinks he is helping the plant by such
vigorous stirring of the ground. What
he actually does is to cut off about
three-ffths of the length of these lat
eral or feeding roots just at time
when the plant is eXerting all its en-
ergy in storing up food in the ear and
stalks. The roots in the center of the
row are exposed or left with so little
covering that they are injured by the
sun and air. Evidence of this kind of
work is shown by the numerous white
roots that accumulate on the cultiVator
shanks.
Just think what this means! Stats
tics tell us that the average yield of
corn is only about twenty-three BUSH
els per acre. $4,000 600 acres considered.
Now, if there was one good ear of corn
to each hill feet and inches each
way, we would average over fifty bush
els per acre. Admitting that other fac
tors affected the yield, yet with from
only tWO-tifths to one-half of its nor
NAL root system left (the other three
ffths to one-half being destroyed by
deep cultivating) to do the work at the
time the plant is at the climax of its
growth, it is little wonder that our corn
does not mature and yield as much as
we expect it to.
The writer has in mind two large
farms on which 1000 to 5000 acres of
corn was grown this last season. In
both cases with the exception of a
few acres) the corn was cultivated as
deeply as possible the last time over,
with the result that two-thirds of the
crop did not mature. The few acres
given shallow cultivation produced
well-matured corn and a greater yield
per acre, although under the same con-
ditions is prevailed with the above
named exceptions. Is further illustra-
ton necessary? To kill the weeds, Gull
tivate deep and early. To conserve
moisture and aid maturity, cultivate
shallow and late

In a recent number the Rural New
Yorker gave a description of what it
calls the Largest Egg Farm in the
World" The farm covers 800 acres,
and is the property of c. E. L. Hay
ward, Hancock. n. H. Only a COM
paratively small part of it is, however,
devoted to the hen business. The hens
number S.400 and are housed in 500
small buildings. These houses with
their runs take up about 100 acres.
The houses form a hen village. They
are arranged in rows four rods apart
and with two rods between the houses.
All the houses face the south. Each
building is eight feet square at the
base and the Same in hight. The shape
of each house is that of a tent. the
roof boards being nailed to the floor.
Under the corners are placed stones
that raise the houses above the
ground sufficiently to prevent the en-
trance of ground moisture. Two up
rights serve as points of attachments
for the door. which is of wire, as are
the spaces on each side of it. Nearly
the whole south side of each build
ing is of wire and is left that way
summer and winter. The fowls are
thus shut in from the weather. The
proprietor claims that the protection
the fowls thus get is simple. There

500 houses Each building is supplied
with roOsts placed low down at the
back, two nest boxes, a box for food
and another for grit and shells. A
small iron drinking trough is placed
outside at back corner. into
which water runs in a small gut
ter from one of the caves when it
rains. Each house is the habitation of
fourteen hens
The hens are not raised on the
farm; they are purchased each fall
from farmers that are under con-
tract to raise them for him and who
ship them in each fall. They are kept
till the end of their laying season the
next summer, when they are fattened
and sold in the general market The
ration for each day consists of 2,1OO
| pounds of feed divided about as fol-
lows 400 pounds of beef scraps;
200 pounds of gluten; 200 pounds
hominy feed; 500 pounds mixed feed,
| and 800 pounds of whole grain, most
| ly wheat. The average of egg pro-
duction is estimated at 100, which are
| sold at an average price for the year
| of 26 cents. This makes the gross
| receipts per hen $2.17. The cost of
| feeding the hen and her care are es-
| timated at about Sly. which leaves
| 81 profit per hen. About 800 to 900
| hens die per year. which means a loss
| of about 10 per cent but it is claimed
that this is not greater than occurs in
ordinary f1ocks. The poultry droppings
| are no inconsiderable item and are
| used to fertilize his orchard of 1000
| apple trees, from which he annually
| gets a good revenue.

what BECOMES of the Hog.

1t has been said facetiously that
nothing but the squear' is lost in
slaughtering hogs, and that is almost
a trusm, says the Farmers Review.
II is really wonderful how thoroughly
every portion Of the hog is turned to
utility and profit by the packers in
the large cities. Each part of the body
has its special purpose. and cuts are
made according to the size and quality
of the meat as IL comes under the eye
and knife OF the expert. Here are a
few of the standard cuts recognized
in the packing house: Regular hams.
long cut hams, regular shoulders: the
homeless ham, which is shoulder with
the bones removed; picnic or Califor-
MIA hams. which are shoulders cut like
hams. homeless plates. salt butts, or
butt cuts, which come from the neck;
fat backs, the fat from the back with
the loin removed; long clear middles.
short clear mddes, stafford middles,
or middles with the ribs left in; clear
belly or bacon. loins and tenderloins,
and Cumberland cut, or a half hog with
ham, shoulder blade and humerus re-
moved and feet cut off The backs

joints go into the lard: the feet go for
pickle. for pigs feet jelly and into
glue. the knuckles so 10 the canning
factory; the trimmings go into lard
and sausage the cuts go to the cellar
as dry salt or sweet pickle. Each
packer has his own formula for pre-
serving and keeps 10 secret Each ex-
pert cutter decides In a moment Just
what should be done with each car
eass and each part OF a carcass as II
comes before him. and instantly, with
knife and cleaver, decides its destiny.

Deep working Of Corn Injurious.

A writer in Farmers Voice says:
Last fall, in order to demonstrate
the ACCESSIBILITY and Importance of
shallow culture, in the latter part of
the growing season, two corn
plants were taken from the field and
mounted just as they had grown in the
soil All who have seen the specimens
are convinced-their previous beliefs
Notwithstanding shallow culti-
walton is the only system after the
second cultivation.
The specimens taken for this purpose
were selected from hills having but one
stalk and growing under the most nat
ural and ordinary conditions, such as
are found in any average field of corn.
One was taken up at the time the corn
was about 3ia feet high, and the other
when the shoots We're coming out Of
the stalk.
For convenience. corn roots may be
classified into two kinds. lateral and
vertical roots. or the feeders and brace
roots. The lateral roots were found to
be very numerous and from to
inches below the surface of the ground.
They gradually took a lateral oblique
course downward to about 20 to 80
inches in every direction and then went
to have many fibers and rootlets pene-
trating the soil in every direction. II
is these root-hairs that get the food
from the soil for the plant, these char

these roots indicate that they serve two
purposes. namely. TO aid the stalk In

cZAREvITcH ALEXIS.
IN Line Of Succession to the Crown
OF Great Britain,

That the recent birth of the Care
Witch Alexis, who is not only heir to
the throne of All the Russias. but.
likewise, as greatgrandchild OF
Queen Victoria, in the line of succes-
sion to the British Crown, should
nave been hailed as the beginning of
now era In Russia is net SURPRISING.
Superstition is rife in the domains of
Emperor Nicholas, and by the vast
majority Of his subjects the advent OF
the infant prince is regarded as an in
dicatton that its parents are restored
10 Divine favor. This they were be-
lfeVed to have forfeited, and eyery
misfortune that has overtakCn Rus
sia during the last few years, more
especially since the beginning of the
war with Japan, has been aycribed
not only by the masses, but also to
great extent by the classes, to the
fact that their rulers were "unlucky"
and objects Of relentless anger on the
part Of Providence. So widespread
has been the Impression that had the
Czarina again disappointed the nation
by presenting it with a fifth daughter
instead of with the long and eagerly
expected son, there is no knowing but
the safety Of the Crown might have
been endangered by popular revolu-
tion, designed to remove from tho
throne sovereigns 80 manifestly ac-
cursed, and, therefore, destined to
bring still further disasters ON tho
people.
Then, too, the little birth of the
Czarevitch, by furnishing a guarantee
OF the continuity Of the Emperor's
policy, will encourage henceforth the
officials of high anu OF low degree
throughout the empire to accord to
him an obedience and n loyalty which
they have until now withheld. AS
long as Nicholas remained without a
direct heir, the Tchinovicks-thati is
to say, the servants of the state, from
the highest to the lOwest-have been
under the impression that in the
event Of any sudden demise OF the
Grown the successors might complete
ly reverse the present autocrat's pol
icy, and regard with disfavor all OF
those who had identified themselves
Herewith. That is why so many OF
the DEGREES of Nicholas II. have re-
mained dead letter and why the
progressive and enlightened meas
ures which he has instituted have re-
mained stillbOrn. The statesmen and
officials upon whom he was compelled
to depend for their execution were
afraid to fulfill his behests, to incur
the anger OF his successor IN the
event Of his death. The birth Of tho
Grand Duke Alexis changed all that
for oven If anything untoward should
happen to the Emperor in his boys
minority, 1t will be found that he has
made provision for intrusting his
widow with the guardianship OF tho
new Gar until his majority.

BATHS OF RADIANT HEAT.

Treatment.


heat and light treatment which
has caused much comment lately
among scientists, says the London
Express, is the DowSing system. that
consists chiefly in directing electric
heat rays or the body Of the person
subject for treatment The system
Is used in cases of rheumatism, gout,
sciatica, lumbago and similar dis
eases and certain forms of lubercular
troubles. These rays are claimed to
be the nearest approach to the suns
rays obtainable by artificial means.
The great advantage peculiar to this
treatment lies in the ability OF the
electric rays to penetrate the body
going direct to the part or parts Of
the trouble. To undergo this treat
mcnt the person is first placed upon
bed, after removing all clothing,
and wrapped snugly in the covers,
with the head only outside. The
rays are then turned on, and the sub
ject Is literally bathed in heat. The
patient by this system is subjected
to a temperature of 300 or 400 de-
grccS. The person does not expert
ence any discomfort, Notwithstanding
this great heat. Ordinary heat OF
this high intensity would do the hu-
man body to turn, but these electric
