Corn Planter Plates.

A subscriber of Pocahontas county,
Iowa, sends the following communica.
tion:
What kind of corn planter plates do
you recommend for the most accurate
drop?
The corn planter plate has come in
for good deal of discussion at all agri-
cultural conventions during the last
year or two It would seem as though
any one possessing ordinary common
sense knows that good stand of corn

is to be obtained, vet at the same time
an actual count Of the plants in great
majority Of the fields reveals the fact
that in this very thing farmers of the
corn belt fall down, as it were. It is to
be doubted if the crop, averages
throughout the central states rs per
cent of stand for any series of years.
Until comparatively recent times corn
planter plates were made with circular
holes through which the kernels drop.
ped. Into each of these the required
number of kernels. two, three or four
- was thought necessary. passed and
from there they dropped into the hill.
With thissystem it was difficult to OBJ.
tain more than from rs to s5 per cent
Of regular planting. In other words
If the aim was to drop three kernels in
. hill it was impossible to have more
than rs to s5 per cent of the hills out of
every hundred which contained three
kernels. 1t was not uncommon to find
the percentage dropping much below
this.
With the idea of improving the even.
ness of drop planter plate was finally
made having the slots on the very
outer edge. these being 20 arranged
that only one kernel dropped in each
slot, though each time the plan ter
checked three (or the number required)
of the slots passed the hole above the
shoe. Although this form of plate was
placed on the market for q time only
by one firm, it is now found in many
makes of planters, this in itself indicat.
ing that it is liable to take the place of
the round.hole plate.

Sixty Years Of Farming.

I have been urged for some time past
to put on record my observations and
experience in farming for the last sixty
years for the purpose of calling to the
remembrance of the older generation Of
farmers the things done when they were
boys. The old Latin poet Horace de-
scribes an old man as "Laudator res
gesta Sc puero," or, translated into ev.
cry day English. "a great admirer Of
things done when he was q boy" The
quick and hearty response to the few
illusions made in these columns from
time to time to the habits and customs
of early days furnishes abandant evid-
ence that series of articles on old.time
farming would be priced by our older
readers and should be welcomed by the
youngsters who would like to know
just how grandfather farmed.
1t has occurred to me in musing over
the suggestion that such a series Of
articles might have, however, q greater
and more permanent value. The peri.
cd between 1910 and 1850 marks the
close of the old systems and methods
of agriculture both east and west and
the beginning of the new, the perma.
nent and nationwide agriculture.
Farming could then be done at a profit
only along watercouses, or turnpikes, or
canals, or near cities or mining and
manufacturing centers. There were
no railroads west of the Alleghanies.
Canals were available here and there
and also few turnpikes, but even on
these last transportation by wagon
would soon eat up the hay, corn and
oats, and even wheat. Wool was about
the only farm product capable of long
distance transportation. The live stock,
whether hogs, cattle or sheep, had to
walk to market, and the children ~
they looked out of the windows Of the
schoolhouses along the turnpikes at the
long horned steers wearily vending
their way from the west to the markets
over the mountains could not help but
wonder where they all came from.
The days of improved machinery
with it's vast increase Of the productive
power of the laborer had not yet come.
The uses that could be made of elec.
tricity had not yet dawned upon the
widest imagination. DR.. Lardner. Of
Trinity College, Dublin, Ireland, had
published book on natural philosophy
in which he demonstrated that no
steamship could he constructed that
would carry enough coal to last her
across the Atlantic. The first order
for his Natural Philosophy" to be used
as a text book in American colleges
came on a steamship, thus confounding
the wisdom of the wise.
The time Of agricultural colleges was
not yet. The experiment station was
not dreamed of. Here and there in the
south and east was struggling agri'

about sixteen pages, poorly printed and
with no advertisements but with we'll

ness and thoroughly scientific spirit,
has not been surpassed, if, indeed,
equaled. by the best of the modern
agricultural papers, and which far ex.
celled the modern agricultural paper
conducted solely as an advertising
medium.
It was good time for farm boy to
be born. He was not likely to be en-
ervated by luxury nor to acquire habits
