THE HIRED MANS WASHING.

A farmers wife wishes to know Just
what Is meant by the term washing"
as applied to the contract made with
the hired man. Does it mean starched
collars cuffs and boiled shirts as we'll
as work clothes, with darnlng and
mending included? We do not consider
ourselves an authority on this point.
but If we were in this lady's place we
would pack up all his fine clothing in
nice bundle and tell him that he
could take it to the city laundry and
would give him needle and some yarn
and tell him to darn his own socks or
else buy new ones when they got too
holey to wear. Hired men with pajamas
and dress linen may be the common
thing as our agriculture develops, but
today few women care to look after
this line of goods in the wardrobe of
the hired man. There is only one ex-
ception, and that is where the hired
man is In every way eligible as a hus-
band for one of the girls, and then it
will pay to do his washing just as one
Of the family. Ordinarily wamus, a
pair of overalls, two pairs of socks and
q nightshirt, work shirt and a suit Of
underwear would be construed as a
liberal definition of the term wash
ing"

We came across very level headed
and philosophic farmer not long ago.
he lives on a farm which is subject to
overflow when the Missouri river gets
on a tear, which it did last year, de-
stroying his corn crop on the bottom
land. He figured 1t this way: That
while he lost his corn the overflow had
deposited between three and four inch
es of rich river silt all over his land,
which was worth far more and would
last longer than any coat Of fertilizer
he could give the land. He said quite
cheerfulfy that while he was out a
crop last year he would show the boys
q thing or two on corn next year, and
we believe he will. 1t quite often
proves that our seeming calamities are
In reality blessings after all.

In some few communities the farm
ers, influenced by broad minded pub
lie spirit, have banded together and in
a cooperative way have undertaken
the Improvement Of the highways on
their respective farms independent Of
the work done by the road supervisors
with the regular tax. 1t is needless to
say that in such cases there has been
marked Improvement in the condi-
ton of the highways. We do not see
how a man owning a good farm can
render his community and his country
a more patriotic service than in this
manner. He is further well rewarded
in financial way, as the fine highway
adds good dollars to every acre of land
which he owns.

SHIPLOADS OF RAW MATERIAL.
Ninety-seven thousand immigrants
arrived in this country during the
month Of March. Most Of these people
were very poor, with only just enough
money to dodge the pauper clause Of
the immigration laws They were a
mixed and low grade lot, largely the
hapless victims Of effete monarchies,
compulsory military service, heredi-
tary poverty, system of confscating
taxation and oyerpopulation. They
will largely center in the cities, glut-
ting the tenement sections, and instinc-
lively become at first the gatherers and
users OF the wastes, the garbage, the
odds and ends; they will drift into the
sweat shops, join the army of peddlers,
only the very few going where their
unskilled labor is wanted-out into the
country, They will seek and stick TO
their kind, their church and add to the
already densely populated settlements
of foreigners, which are becoming so
grave problem in our larger munich
palities.

A FARM BLEMISH.

There Is one mighty sorry looking
spot Oh many good farm all through
the corn belt, and that the feed yard,
the lot used for the feeding and fatten-
ing of a lot of steers and hogs. Quite
often it will include part of the tim
Der lot or grove around the farm home
stead, to the utter ruin Of every tree
growing In the lot. It becomes poached
up to a depth of foot or more and be-
comes veritable quagmfre Of filth.
This lot is a blemish on the farm, for it
represents big waste waste Of fer
tility which the fields need, waste Of
food. waste of valuable timber

TWO KINDS OF POOR SEED CORN.
There are two kinds Of Door seed
corn-one which is dead and will not
terminate at ALL another, corn which
has been SO injured that its germinat-
ing power is weak and which can only
send up scrub stalk which cannot
produce an ear, this the common bar
rem stalk which may be found in all
our corn1elds OF the two kinds Of
poor seed the last is the worst, for it
takes moisture, sunshine and fertility
which could be profitab1y used by it's
more thrifty fellows. Then such bar
rem stalk always manages to throw out
taSsel and so sheds it's weak and de-
graded pollen on it's better bred neigh
bors. A surprise awaits any corn
grower who will take the trouble to go
through his cornfeld and take single
row through the field and find out for
himself just how many missing and
barren stalks there are, even where
there seems to be a fair stand. He
will very quickly discover that with
good and even stand he can easily
largely increase his yield of corn.

A good name counts for much. A
certain county in a western state
which has established fine reputa-
ton for the barley which it produces
and which is known on the market by
the name Of the county finds that five
times as much barley is sold each year
under this brand as it ever produces.

The big ear of corn is not by any
means the best ear any more than the
biggest man is the best man. Until
within a short time the large ear was
accepted as the standard of excellence
in corn regardless of the size Of the
cob or the percentage relation of grain
to cob. This has now changed, and the
standard is based upon dozen other
things besides size.

A reader who has small piece of
land attached to his town residence
wants to know what he can SOW on 1t
that will furnish him the best food for
his chickens both summer and winter
wanting some crop which he can NOW
off two or three times during the sum-
mer SO as to keep the weeds down. We
know of nothing which would give him
better satisfaction than alfalfa. This
would have to be cut three or four
times during the growing season and
makes most admirable food for chick
ems both winter and summer.
The Telegraph-courier. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1888-1946, 1905-05-25

a friend claims that If a perfect
stand of corn is secured and larger
yield is obtained it will result in more
rapidly exhausting the fertility Of the
soil This point is not well taken, for
wherever the stand of corn is poor
there will be found the big weeds,
which rob the land of fertility to a
much greater extent than does the
corn crop.
The Telegraph-courier. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1888-1946, 1905-05-25

Some corn growers express the fear
that should the yield Of corn be increas-
ed as result of the employment Of bet
ter methods of culture the price would
be lowered and the raising of corn be
made improbable. Well let us raise
the same number of bushels we do now
on two-thirds of the present acreage
and have a lot of good land for the use
Of other crops. There's nothing wrong
about that, we take it.

A very common sight these days is
to witness the amoruus scrap between
two male robins out on the lawn, and
they usually fight for keeps. II one
will look closely, there may be found a
demure little hen robin sitting on the
fence or in tree near by, and she al
ways flies off with the victor In the
bout and never yet was known TO take
up with the one which got whipped,
in which respect she is very like de-
mure females Of other species.

1t certainly looks like a most reason
able proposition that If man is going
to plow, field, harrow it, plant it, cul-
tivate it four or more times he should
at least be dead sure that his seed corn
is good and will every kernel grow, for
it is not with corn as with the small
grains, which, If the seed be poor, will
still be often thick enough by the stool
ing of such plants as do grow, whereas
with corn if the seed fails there is
no way for nature to make good the
loss. So small an amount of corn is
required to plant an acre that every
effort to select and plant only the very
best is justified

When we hear people complaining
about their awfully muddy roads we
have no pity to extend to them. The
mud is unpleasant, we know, but mud
in general way stands for money, the
worst roads usually being associated
with our richest and most fertile soil.
Mud also means moisture There are
good roads always In the desert and
on all the poor, gravelly, impoverished
soils Of the east, but when we come to
the soils which will produce eighty
bushels Of corn to the acre mud is in
evltable

1t is always interesting to note how
the wastes Of great city are utilized.
The street sweepings go to the market
gardeners as fertilizer; the dead ami
mails are tried and rendered and hides,
bones, fat, hair and hoofs allotted to
manufacturers, while the precipitate
goes into fertilizer; the paper scraps
are gathered and find their way back
to the paper mills; the broken boxes
form the poor mans kfnd1ng wood;
scrap iron and tin cans go to the foun-
dry, old carpets 10 the rugmaker, and
old clothes go down the grade step by
step till they land IN the ragpicker's
basket; the untastad portion Of the
$1-25 sirioin steak at the tony restau-
rant Is by no means fed 10 the hogs,
but appears later m savory meat pie,
hash or soup where square meal can
be had for Is cents. But little is really
wasted.

The government has made marked
change in the horses furnished it's cav
Any since the war Of the rebellion.
Then cavalry horses seldom weighed
less than 1,150 to 1900 pounds. Now
the broncho has largely taken the place
of the big horse, this range animal
possessing more endurance and activ-
ity.

Cyclonic conditions often develop
quite early in the spring in the middle
west Two or three days of 80 degree
temperature in late March or early
April will often set things going, so
disturbing the normal temperature
that a cyclone results Hot air alone
will never produce a cyclone; neither
will cold air alone, but the mixing Of
