The farm has to support an army Of
toll takers, beginning with the day the
seed is dropped into the soil until the
last of the years products are sold,
crows, blackbirds, gophers, cutworms,
wireworms, taking large toll Of the
sprouting grain; blight, rust, grasshop-
pers and birds tolling the maturing
crop, with rats, mice and weevils levy
ing tribute on the garnered crop and
the several trusts and combines taking
a final swipe at it when sent to mar
ket. No wonder SO many farmers in
summing up the years work find that
they have worked for so cents a day
and boarded themselves at that Good
farming the new kind that is COM
ing largely means looking after this
army of toll takers.

Every grower of corn will cOncede
without argument the vital need of
planting good seed for the self evident
reason that defective seed means
poor stand, and a poor stand inevita-
bly, means a poor crop no matter how
well cared for corn differing from the
smaller cereal grains in this-that the
stand is wholly dependent upon all
the seed growing, while in the case of
wheat, oats, rye and the like, even if
one-half Of the seed failed to grow, ma
ture IN compromising way would
cause the scattering plants to wonder
fully stool out and thus furnish a
hundredfold increase from single
seed. But with corn it is different,
but one stalk coming from one seed
save with the little Dwarf Yankee and
sweet corn varieties, and thus it fol-
lows that a man largely settles the
yield of his corn crop when he selects
his seed. There is an unusual interest
being taken now in this matter so
much that the railway corporations are
sending at great expense all over their
lines corps of instructors and experts
to show the average farmer how he
may test his corn and absolutely know
that the seed he plants will grow. Dur
ing the. year 1904 the state Of Iowa
raised 323,0O0,O0O bushels of corn on
what was proved to be a two-thirds
stand Of corn owing to the poor quality
of the seed used. While it would not be
fair to say that the state would have
produced 1O7,0OO,O0O bushels more corn
had good seed been used, it is fair to
say that the crop would have been In
creased by several million bushels had
good seed been used.

The scheme to make the poor farms
of the different counties experimental
farms is a good one. Locality has much
to do with the success or failure of any
crop, and experiments made at home
are in every way more valuable than
those made at some distant place
where soil conditions are altogether
different.

We know Of scores Of men who the
past year raised seventy bushels Of
corn to the acre. They did not do it by
growing corn year after year on the
same land, however. These good crops
were mostly grown on clover sod on
land which had not grown corn for
three years previously at least. There
was manure spreader which had a
hand in the crop too.

We notice that some men are raising
all sorts of mongrel, hybrid hogs
They started in with Poland Chinas;
then somebody told them cross with
Duroc Jersey blood would be a good
thing, and they got a combination of
red and black; then another neighbor
advised them to get Chester White
sire, and now the colors and the breeds
are hopelessly and unproitably reflect
ed in lot of red, black and white pigs
which to all intents and purposes are
just nothing but scrubs Of the worst
kind. Select some one breed and stick
to it. This applies to pigs and all other
domestic animals on the farm. Take
one breed, then try to constantly i'm
prove it with the infusion of new
and good blood of the same sort.

The sins Of the fathers are most
clearly visited upon the children when
the father in a Wasteful and wicked
manner SO depletes the ancestral home
fields Of all their fertility that the sons
cannot afford to restore them. Lots Of
that sort of business has been done
down east and altogether too much Of
it is being done all through the west.

The future supply of post timber for
the western country will come from
two sources first, from groves of
suitable post timber which wise men
will get to planting every year as soon
as they can, and, second, from the use
Of cement post which inside Of a
few years is quite likely to supersede
wood altogether for this purpose.

There is more clean money in raising
Jonathan apples in Colorado than ma
vel oranges in California An orange
grower told us recently that nothing
on earth was more calculated to fool a
man than an orange grove. The land
is there, the trees are there and the
fruit is there, enough to show a big
profit per acre, but the cost Of fertiliz-
ing, of irrigating, of cultivation, the
scaling down Of the fruit at the pack
ing houses and all the other expenses
only too often left the owner of the
orchard holding the sack.

The great bulk Of the hedge fences
are just no good at all. They are mel
Their attractive nor useful, won't turn
stock and are blemish and nuisance
on nearly all farms where planted. Men
will not give the hedge the care it
needs to make it either pretty 60 look
at or useful. No hedge fences for us.

The southern cotton growers keep
holding meetings, resolving to reduce
the acreage of cotton for the coming
season, with the hope that such action
will raise the price. The south needs
nothing SO badly as to learn some way
to diversity it's agriculture, the people
at present being seemingly unable to
devise any way to use negro, a mule
and rope harness save by putting
the outfit to work to raise half bale
Of cotton to the acre and quite often
much less. The worst Of it is that this
continuous raising Of cotton is robbing
the soil Of all it's fertility, and nature
will Indignantly shut off the cotton
business in few years if the people
will not sensibly learn a better way.
We had the same disease here in the
north in the early days with the rails
ing Of wheat, but had sense enough to
quit before we quite ruined our farms.

The modern corn planter has good
many sins to answer for-perhaps not
SO much the planter as the man who
runs it. The planter can't plant cobble-
stones and mustard seed, just three
in each hills not built that way and
SO it is easy to see that the uniformity
Of size in seed corn is an all important
matter If the planter is to do good
work Now, there is lots Of difference
in the shape Of kernels of corn some
long and narrow, some shallow and
wide, some large and some small
with the result that Unless care is tax
en- in sizing and sorting the corn be-
fore mixing uniform plant of three in
a hill is a mechanical impossibnity.
This point is worth looking into, an
irregular dropping of the corn making
bad work, each hill being the unit and
demanding just three kernels no more,
no less. Six kernels in a hill are as bad
as none at all. The planter should be
got out now, the corn carefully tested
and sorted, and just what the machine
is going to actually do in the field in
May should be found out in March on
the barn floor.

This man had 200 acres Of corn last
year. The land was plowed, planted,
dragged and cultivated, representing
the hard work of three hands at least
from early in the spring until the mid
die of July The field gave him re-
turn of only seventeen bushels an acre
for the reason that he planted poor
seed and only got one-third of stand.
The reason he planted poor seed was
because, while he had time to test it on
200 acres, he still thought he had not
time to test it in March or April in two
or three boxes In the house. When
planting day came he just allowed he
would run the risk and plant, trusting
to luck or the LorJi, and neither of them
ever does thing 10 help man out in
such cases. The net loss resulting from
this piece of folly was gigantic crop
of weeds, sapping the life out of the
field, at least twenty-five bushels Of
corn to the acre, worth 40 cents bush
Ell, or $40 per acre, or a lump sum of
$1,000, and then there was the daily
pu1lSuufGuL LUZ LIS bLupVuIly cAAA AOOf-
ishness as he was forced to cultivate
day after day such measly crop. He
will test his seed corn this year If he
has to sit up nights to do it. This is
not long story, but It may have some
application in your case. 1t is no yarn,
but bald, cold blooded agricultural
tragedy occurring last year.
