The big ear of corn Is not by any
means the best ear any more than the
biggest man IL the best man. Until
within 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.
The Ohio Democrat. (Logan, O. [Ohio]) 1886-1906, 1905-05-04

Some corn growers express the fear
that should the yield of corn be increas-
ed as n 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-thlrds 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 1t.
The Ohio Democrat. (Logan, O. [Ohio]) 1886-1906, 1905-05-04

II we had fiat, wet farm where the
crops would wholly or partially fail
during wet season and could do it in
no other way we would sell so much of
the land as would enable us to thor
oughly tile drain the remainder There
are hundreds of farmers all over the
country who could make good money
by following out this suggestion. The
partial loss of crop for two years on
this type of land will easily pay for its
redemption by tile draining.

While we would be glad to kill every

One point, and n good one, is made
In favor of the leveling of the dirt road
after rain, and it is that, there being
no track or runt for wagons, travellers
will not drive in each others tracks,
but will spread out, so to speak, and
thus help roll the road and keep 1t in
good shape.
The Ohio Democrat. (Logan, O. [Ohio]) 1886-1906, 1905-05-04

Poor seed is the prime cause Of Il
poor corn crop. If the seed is poor the
stand is poor, and no favorable condi-
tlons Of weather, cultivation or fertil-
ity can offset this trouble.

In town of thousand people we

The trouble connected with using
seed corn, only 20 per cent of which
will grow, planting more than three
kernels in hill TO Offset the poor seed,
is that one always gets an irregular
stand, because the good and the poor
seed cannot be exactly apportioned to
each hill, so it comes that some hills
will be entirely missing, some will have
six stalks, some one, when to get the
best results just three kernels Of strong
terminating power should be got in
each hill.

The first hundred pounds of meat
put OH Il hog with grass, clover or al
falfa and slops is cheaply made meat
and costs far less than the next hun
dred pounds which is made largely
with corn. The right thing to do is to
make the first 100 pounds with these
cheap foods.

Banana culture is being undertaken
in Mexico. On one plantation 547
lunches were produced to the acre,
which brought the grower 81 cents per
bunch in the field, or $114.95 per acre.
The Ohio Democrat. (Logan, O. [Ohio]) 1886-1906, 1905-05-04

Farmers in Indiana are meeting with
much success in the growing of alfal'
IA by putting lime on their lands
where this crop is sown. Sour soils
are death to both clover and alfalfa
and lime corrects this condition. This
idea Is worth noting where alfalfa
fails.

We know of man who paid $3.50
FOR bull to put at the head Of his
herd who ut the same time gets his
seed corn from the crib. If he was no
wiser OH stock than he is on corn he
would save his $50 and use his neigh
boris scrub sire.
The Ohio Democrat. (Logan, O. [Ohio]) 1886-1906, 1905-05-04

What n man docs and what he fails
to do up to the 10th Of May will very
largely determine whether his crops
shall be good or poor. But few agri-
cultural mistakes can be rectified after
that date.
The Ohio Democrat. (Logan, O. [Ohio]) 1886-1906, 1905-05-04

There is always a controversy on
among corn growers as to which Is the
better corn. the white or the yellow.
There Is practically no difference at all
In the feeding value Of these varieties.
The south wants the white corn, the
east the yellow corn to crafty whim.
1t pays better to worry over how to in
crease the yield Of corn rather than ar
que over the color.
The Ohio Democrat. (Logan, O. [Ohio]) 1886-1906, 1905-05-04

The man who lives on the flatlands,
where he sometimes loses crop by
reason of too much moisture, has this
for his cOmfort-that no amount Of
rain can wash away the fertility Of his
farm, while his neighbor on the hilly
farm will lose in wet season more
fertility than would grow two big
crops.

A friend claims that If 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

that will furnish him the best food for

wanting some crop which he can NOW
off two or three times during the sum

times during the growing season and
makes most admirable food for chick

II is just the same old story every

Alfalfa is redeeming much Of the
waste land OF western Kansas and Ne
braska. With alfalfa have come the cow
and the hog and these three things

not as safe proposition as alfalfa
without corn. Where both can be
grown OH the same farm there Is the
best combination in America.

One fact worth studying by Ameri-
can farmers is that the Danish farmers
are able to buy our corn, bran and oil

cents above the best prices American
butter will bring. If you are in the

you do.

The grain dealers Of some of the
western states are up against new
type of competition, The farmers Of a
given community organize an incorpO-
rated company, two or three hundred
Of them, each taking one or more
shares OF stock In the company and
being restricted TO just one vote. An
elevator Is built or purchased and an
agent employed to receive and ship
their grain. If In competition with n
private concern, the same price is paid
for grain and the company Joins the
state grain dealers association. This
the farmers have most unquestioned
right to do, but the joke comes In like
this-all the grain ralsers of a commu-
nifty being members, there is no grain
left for the other fellow to buy. This
plan Is growing, for whatever profit
there may be connected with the grain
business goes back to the members In
the shape OF an annual dividend.

An old farmer In Indiana who had
spent n long lifetime In clearing up
one of the heavily timbered farms of
that state reserved little piece of the
original forest ON corner of his farm
which was cut off from the rest of the
land by small creek. The past win
ter he sold some walnut trees on this
land for 500 each and quantity re.
marked that he had worked hard for
lifetime to make himself poor, for IL
he had done nothing and let his trees
alone he would now be very rich

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 u 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 q great city are utilized.
The street sweepings 60 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 kindling wood:
scrap iron and tin cans go to the foun-
dry, old carpets to the rugmaker, and
old clothes go down the grade step by
step till they land in the ragpicker's
basket; the untasted portion of the
81 125 sirloin steak at the tony restau-
rant is by no means fed to the hogs,
but appears later in savory meat pie,
hash or soup where square meal can
be had for Is cents But little is really
wasted.
Nowadays when man is getting
more than per cent interest on his
investments he almost always has to
keep pretty close watch on his security.
The best peach country in the United
States Is said to be located on the
south slope of the Ozark mountains, in

berta Is at Its best.

We regard the butcher bird or shrike
as good deal of q bushwhacker and
brigand among our birds. While he
catches some mice and grasshoppers he
also likes the callow young in the nests
of other birds and will not infrequent-
ly attack and kill the old birds. If one
will note the thorn bushes and barbed
wire fences in the vicinity Of the nests
of the butcher bird he will find plenty
of evidence on the barbs and thorns Of
the fact that this bird rightfully en-
joys bad reputation.
