COUNTY BOARDS OR BOT.

Some little agitation is going the
rounds Of the papers in Wisconsin, com
ments the Reedaburg Free Press, in re.
gard to abolisti-g the time honored
county board. II is argued that the
best interests Of the county can be more
readily served by a commission or a
committee to consist Of three or possibly
five members than by the body Of thirty
to forty or more men Also that this
board" or tribunal" could attend to
matters pertaining to the business in
terests of the county at any time on a
few days notice, whereas now a year =
work is crowded into the brief space Of
week or two. There is q good chance
to argue the question on both sides and
also for the misuse or the mis-applying
Of authority in either case.
While many good things may be said
Of the proposed change where might
such a course be bought to a stop In
representative government this much
Is very plain, the people are the source
Of power. They may make mistakes
their Representatives may g wrong
and even trairors may betray their
trusts; yet the masses of the people may
well be trusted with all airs pertaining
to the public good.
there is in every community class
of people who would seek Just as readily
to make a corner on matters Of gov
eminent or Office holding as they would
work to manipulate the wheat or stock
market but the nearer the people keep
to the administration Of their public
affairs the less chance there is for the
selfish manipulation Of personal inter
ests from the public purse

A vigorous hen in full laying will eat
about five ounces of well balanced
food each day. What is called main
tenance ration" means the amount of
food actually required to keep up the
body of the hen without laying or gain
ing in flesh. When Il mature hen stops,
laying and becomes idle two and half
or three ounces of food will be ample
for her needs When hens run in an
orchard or in a grass park in the sum-
mer it is a wise plan to feed the whole
grain in the grass sowing it broad
cast, as one would for seeding. The
hens hunt and scratch for it and if not
overfed will get it all. The exercise is
just what they need, and they find
many bugs and eat much grass while
hunting for the grain. A mixture Of
equal parts of corn. oats and wheat is
good for this broadcasting Hens like
a variety, and some will pick out corn
one day, oats another and wheat at an
other time. Where hens can run at
large they pick up 40 per cent or more
of their food.--The Business Hen.

Disking Alfalfa.

We have experimental with disking
alfalfa after each cutting for single
season with apparently good results.
Our usual practice. however, is to disk
once or not more than twice in a sea
son. We prefer to disk early in the
spring before the alfalfa has started
much. The second disking may be
given at some favorable time during
the summer or fall, usually after the
second or third cutting We find it
advisable TO cross disk. setting the
disks rather straight and weighing
the harrow. Follow the disk with the
common harrow in order to level the
land and make Il more perfect soil
mulch. The narrowing also destroys
weeds, especially at the later disking,

Commenting upon the use of seed
from a more southern source as a
cause of failure with alfalfa in Yer
mont, Messrs. Hills and Jones of the
state experiment station say: "Unfor-
tunately there is no source sufficiently
far north to supply Vermont with ideal
seed. Montana and Minnesota have
each offered a little in years past, but
the supply is meager and hard to Sc
cure. This suggests the idea which
seems to offer promise of ultimate sue
cess in alfalfa culture in the state
namely, securing home grown seed. AS
a rule where alfalfa is sown some
plants soon winter kill, while others
persist for many years. Alfalfa has
been widely introduced in the state in
admixture with red clover seed also,
so that patches of it are scattered in
many meadows. If plants so persist
ing can be allowed to seed and the seed
saved and planted it is believed a
harder race of alfalfa can be secured
than is now known"

Early Cut Alfalfa.

At the Utah experiment station
steers made a most rapid gain when
fed upon early cut alfalfa either with
or without an accompanying ration of
grain. By early cut hay was meant
hay cut just before bloom. The gain
upon this early cut alfalfa hay was
one-third more than that upon hay cut
when in full bloom or later. 1t was
also found that more hay was pro-
duced from the early cuttings and that
the third crop gave more rapid gains
than either the first or second, which
latter are nearly equal in this respect.

CULTlVATlNG CORN.
Shallow Cultivation To Maintain
Loose Soil Mulch.


By c. p. HARTLEY.
Many comparative experiments of
deep and shallow cultivation have been
made. and on the whole the results are
in favor of shallow cultivation. There
are but few occasions when deep cult
walton is preferable If excessive rains
have packed the soil and kept it water
soaked deep cultivation will help to dry
and aerate the soil. Breaking the roots
of the plants must be avoided rs far as
possible If roots are broken the plants
will rapidly produce other roots, but it
will be ut the expense Of the vitality
and food supply After the plants have
reached 4 height of three or four feet
the soil even in the middle of the rows
should not be cultivated deeper than
four inches. ami three inches is usually
better. For retaining soil moisture a
loose soil mulch two or three inches in
thickness should be maintained.
The best answer TO the question Of
how frequently corn should be cult
waited is that it should he cultivated
often enough TO keep down weeds and
