CORN FODDER FOR cows.
How it is Planted, Cultivated and Har-
 vested

How it is Planted, Cultivated and Har-
 vested.
 No crop produces more feed for dairy cows than fodder corn, for the land and labor used in it's production, says Dairy and Creamery. Not only for cows, but for horses and sheep, it has been shown under careful experiments to be of high feeding value.
 The ordinary field corn is best suited for this purpose and is sown at the rate of about sixty pounds to the acre. This will give heavy crop of thin stalks and a good many very small ears. There is strong evidence that the crop from an acre of fodder corn is worth much more for feed than a crop of corn plantedt the usual distance apart on the same land would be.
 Fodder corn leaves the landin fine con- dition or the succeeding crop, as the thick growth prevents the weeds from springing up late in the season and leaves the soil in very good condition for tillage
 For green feed we prefer sweet corn, but rather extensive trial of it proved to us that it is very hard to properly cure and save any surplus that may be left over in the fall.
 It is an easy crop to grow because it can be planted after the regular farm work is done. It should be planted from two to four weeks after the regular crop is put in. This gives an opportunity to blow the land after the first crop of weeds has got started, and plant it at leisure, before other crops demand all the attention of the farmer. The corn is planted in drills about three and half feet apart. using bout sixty pounds of seed to an acre. Where there is not available q two-horse corn planter. which will plant the seed in drills so thick as sixty pounds to an acre, this can be accomplished by using the common shoe or hoe grain drill. If one tube will not carry sufficient corn for the row, two tubes may be left open

Japanese officers, like the nati6n as a whole. are exeermely ambitious, both individually and as regards the future
 of their nation. They are still Asiatic enough to regard life as a cheap com Imodity and are content to lose it if only the fact of their having done so lis recorded in the annals of the coun- try. For this reason, together with the fact that the awful effect of modern rifle and shell fire on close formation has hardly yet been fully realized in Japan, the loss of officers during the war just commencing promises to be
 considerable. The sword is still re-
 garded as the most important part of Ian officers equipment, and at the pre- lsent moment drill blades are being ex- changed for the old Samural weapons which have been handed down through generations. That the braveness and tdash Of the officers. of the Japanese army have not been overrated is the firm conviction of every one who has made their acquaintance and expert fenced their habitual courtesy.-The London Times.

making double row six to eight inches between the drills. The grain drill does not indicate correctly the amount of corn trat will be sown to an acre, and this can be learned only by experience with each drill A kernel every two to four inches in each of the double rows, or one every one to two inches in the single row will be about the desired amount. Tn planting with the common grain drill it is considered a saving of time to mark the field one way, using marker adjusted for the purpose with a runner where the grain drill places each row. Then by covering those seed cups which are not to be used the box may be filled and the drill tubes which are to sow the corn driven over the marks, thus saving the labor of setting stakes each time and insuring straighter rows The shoes or hoes should be run so as to plant the seeds two to four inches deep. The only disadvantage in the double row is the increased difficulty of har- vesting with the corn binder in case the corn has been blown down, the points not gathering all of the broad row. Two-horse corn-planters should be chosen which have attachments for drilling sixty pounds. and even more, of corn an acre.
 The cultivation of this corn is more simple than the cultivation of corn planted in hills. The corn is narrowed two or three times until the plants are six to eight inches high, the heavy seed- ing making it no serious loss if the com- mon spike harrow, or, what is better, the slanting tooth harrow, destroy an occasional plant. This corn, planted late and thoroughly cultivated until several inches high and until all weeds are killed in the row as well as between the rows, responds so rapidly to the July "corn weather that late germina- ting weeds in the row are smothered. Twice or thrice through with the culti- vator gives a good dust blanket and de- stroys all weeds between the rows until the, corn forms such dense crop that no weeds can grow, and when the crop of fodder is harvested the land is the cleanest on the farm.
 Fodder corn should be cut for dried fodder or for snsilage when the drying of the lower leaves shows that the plants are passing their succulent stage At this time there is available the largest food vaule an acre.

sider this the only profitable way to rear turkeys.
 I always get to them very early in the morning with some food. This serves to keep them from rambling as they other wise would, but after the dew disap- pears and the weather warns up lit tie they should be taken for supply of water, and it should be kept near them in such a way that they cannot get into it and get wet use a little automatic fountain made of galvanized iron. Af- ter they are given their liberty be sure ito see that the supply of water never runs short. It will aid you in getting them home at night; and right along side of the water be sure to have plenty .of good, fine, sharp grit and a dish of charcoal. Be sure that these articles never run short, for the turkeys will not be healthy without them.
 After they are from six to eight weeks old they are ready to take to some kind iof a perch. They will generally do this in their own way, and after they get so they take to their perch nightly they are all driven to what I call the turkey tree" I like to have them all together at night, for it is so much easier to pro- tect them from their nocturnal enemies. One disease that causes a great deal of loss in turkey raising is called black head; some call it cholera. It usually laffects young turkeys from ten to twelve weeks old. It is an infection of the liver and is usually inherited from
 the parent stock and is caused largely by close inbreeding. All dead birds
 should be burned or buried deeply
 Birds having this disease will never be free from it, but will transmit it to their young. Wet, stormy weather always
 aggravates it.
 I am fully aware that there is a deep- rooted prejudice against claiming that they are very destructive to growing
 crops. My experience has shown that they are the least destructive of all
 farm poultry. Take, for instance, a flock of about one hundred or more tur-
 keys foraging a field of any kind oi grain or glass, and I defy any one to follow them and show any harm they have done. We all have to acknowledge that they have done much good toward ridding the field of grasshoppers and many other insect pests.-C. E. Matte son before thte Wisconsin RounduI Institute.

TURKEY RAISING.
An Expert Gives Some Practical Point.

An Expert Gives Some Practical Point
 CTS.
 In raising turkeys it is very important ito get good, strong, vigorous breeding lstock, selecting the females from the earliest hatches and being sure to get those that have always been free from disease and whose ancestors are the same. If you start with diseased stock lyou may be sure that the same weak ness will show in the young stock after ward. Then in selecting the males be sure and get those that are healthy in every way.
 I do not like one of those great big overgrown turkeys, but select one of medium size and well rounded body, and big through the breast, which means good, strong vital organs.
 The mistake that many farmers make in selecting stock is to have stock of late matching, and. being a little greedy for money, are almost sure to sell off all the largest and best birds, keeping the late matches and inferior stock for breeding the coming season, which makes their stock weak all the way through.
 Now, assuming that we have good, strong stock to begin with, we must see to it that we do not get them too fat through the winter season. We would rather have them in rather a thin con dition in the spring, commencing to fatten them up a little about the first of March so as to get them laying about the first of April or the last days in March
 Accumulating the eggs at this season of the year is often a concern to most of us, for if the weather is pleasant the turkeys will be rather shq and liable to wander. To obviate this difficulty I wired off my small barn-yard. keeping them in every morning until they had deposited their eggs in the barrel nests which have arranged along the side in the interior of the yard After they have commenced laying in the barrel nests it is not necessary to yard them, for they will always take to the same nest.
 Now, in regard to matching, no matter iiOW SOu dkG SOliiS lu AlO IL, NllCAlIcl pS hens or machine, be sure to make a wholesale job of it. The practice that many have of setting the hen as soon as they have a few eggs accumulated and doing the same thing again three or four days later is a great mistake, for by this plan you have young poults of all ages and sizes, which makes it necessary to have two or three varie- { ties of feed around, and it also means that the large ones will trample on and rob the smaller ones, but the worst fea- ture of all is that when you go to mar ket in the fall you will have a very in- ferior lot of uneven turkeys to sell, and will probably have to take from one to three cents a pound less than you would if you had accumulated and saved up the eggs as fast as they were llaid.
 1 I consider the turkey hens time too valuable to keep them setting on eggs at | this season of the year and consequent- , ly my matching is done with an ineuba- tor, and when the poults are matched they are given to turkey hens. I con-
