Wheat After Corn.

One Of the most serious objections
to following corn with wheat Is that
the corn shock rows are difficult to
seed and If not seeded they grow up
to weeds the following summer. The
best way OF avoiding this Is to go
through the field and cut the two
rows of corn where the shock rows
are to be. Go across the field. cutting
one row at time, laying the punches
over in the standing corn, opposite
where the shock should stand Cut
the other row, and lay opposite the
bundles left in cutting the first row
After cutting out these rows and one
or two at the ends to keep from being
broken down, follow with the harrow
and drill. Then pass through the field
and set up the corn by using a horse,
or by setting the two bundles together
and tying. spreading the butts Of the
stalks to make shock more stable. If
properly done there will be no trouble
with shocks falling down. The cut
ting can then be finished and the rest
of the field seeded, and that with little
or no loss Of time.

To Cure Sucking Cows.

There are many plans for breaking
self-sucking cows OF the habit, but
some Of them are complex, while with
others the animal soon learns how to
get the better of any device which is
attached to her. There Is one appli-
ance, however, which seems to work
to perfection, and 1t is made and ap-
piled in the following manner: The
usual halter Is placed on the head of
the COW and a ring is fastened in it
just under her neck. Then a strap or
II strong rope is placed about her body
Just behind her forelegs. From this
strap or rope another strap Is run.
having at the end crupper such as is
used on horses. This is placed in the
proper position under her tail Then
pole Is secured sufficiently long to
reach nearly to the middle Of her body
to a joint just beneath the ring fast
ened in the halter. A hoe is bored
in either end of the pole and it is tied

Flavor and Color of Eggs.

The effect of different feeding stuffs
on the color Of the egg yoks and on
the flavor OF the eggs was also studied,
not less than eight different kinds Of
grains being fed, as well as scrap
beef In many cases fiavorlng mat
tiers such as celery oil, sassafras OIL
etc, were also mixed with the food
Green food was given in the form Of
mangolds and sugar beet, which the
fowls readily ate. Quite contrary To
expectations, the flavor OF the eggs
was not noticeably affected by any OF
the rations or favorlng materials en-
ployed The different rations, how
ever, very clearly affected the color OF
the yolks. When the ration consisted
Of wheat. oats, or white corn, either
fed alone or in combination with each
other, the yolks were so light colored
that the eggs would he quite insult

On the other hand, the feeding Of yell
low corn gave the yolks that rich vel
low color so much desired for the best
markets.
