GRASS.

Il stay by grass" was the terse and
significant statement made to us re-
Gently by a successful farmer. This
Is motto worth considering, and our
friend showed much wisdom in the
saying Of it. When one looks at grass
and it's relation to the soil, the force
or this expression becomes apparent at
once. Grass is natures benediction
spread over the earth No soil ruin fol
lows in it's trail. Grass means stock
to eat it, and where cattle are kept
there the soil will grow constantly
richer and better. It is not saying too
much to assert that every farm would
be more profitable If one-half Of the
area was kept continuously in grass,
and by grass we mean clover, alfalfa
and blue grass.
Few farmers understand the value Of
land kept in grass as applied to pro-
duction of meat and milk. While we
cannot accurately estimate it, 1t is safe
to say that the net profits connected
with good pastures are greater on the
average than net profits connected
with producing any of our common
cereals. An acre Of good blue grass
pasture devoted to the production of
meat or milk will give a man, at pres
ent prices for such produce, not less
than $40 per acre.

SORGHUM.

During a recent trip we noted what
was really great curiosity-viz, a
twenty acre field Of sugar cane grow
ing in the north. Thirty years ago
the growing Of patch Of sugar cane
was common thing with the pioneer
settlers. In every community would
be found mill for expressing the
juice and boiling it down into mo-
lasses, which to a large extent fur
nished the sweetening used by the
family of the early settler. AS sugar
decreased in price, less and less Of
the cane was raised, until now, as
above stated, it is a rare thing to find
any sorghum grown for this purpose.
While the sorghum is high in saccha-
rine contents, it was found after al
most endless experimenting that it
was impossible to convert the mo-
lasses, which was easily made, into a
granulated sugar. While sorghum has
ceased to have any special value as a
farm crop-as a producer of sirup-it
still has one great value as forage
crop, forming most valuable hog
feed during the late summer and early
fall in connection with field Of rape
More Of it should be grown for this
purpose than there is.

HOTEL, WASTES.

We met an old man recently on the
streets OF town hauling a small cart
Of refuse from the kitchen of a large
hotel He said to us, "Just see here
what an awful waste Of good food goes
on IN connection with these hotels"
and called our attention to the charac-
ter OF the refuse which he was paid for
taking away and feeding to his hogs.
Looking at it, we discovered that there
were 'ot+erhouse steaks, which cost
not i than 20 cents per pound, from
wh'cl only mouthful or two had been
taken; large chunks and slices of roast
beef and other meats; slices of cake,
biscult-ln fact, all Of the large amount
OF uneaten food ordered by guests
whose mental greed to get even with
the landlord far exceeded their diges
tive capacity. It is not much out of
the way to say that not to exceed 50
per cent of the food served at hotel
is eaten by the guests The other 80
per cent we found in this old mans
garbage box There is a sense Of re-
lief, IN one way, in knowing that these
scraps went to the pigs, as there is
quite a general belief among many
that in the interests of economy these
discarded remnants later appear on
the bill Of fare in the shape of meat
pies, hash, cake buildings and various
other sundries, which are made attrac-
tive with a little spice and French
name. Still this is an unconscionable
waste and is all on par with the reck-
less, Wasteful methods Of modern
American living. 1t must, indeed, be a
great and a good country where a peo-
pie can prosper practicing such meth

THE POOR STAND OF CORN.

A friend asks us whether the poor
stand OF corn to be found in so many
fields is attributable wholly to poor
seed. 1t is not. There are many agen-
cies which tend to impair the vitality
Of seed and prevent its healthy and
vigorous development. Among these
may be mentioned too early planting
when the weather is 80 cold as to be
entirely unfavorable to the termination
of the seed. Then there is deep plant
ing. With our modern planters sufh-
Gent care is not used to prevent the
corn being planted at too great depth.
It is a common thing to go out into a
cornfeld and find corn struggling to
reach the surface where it has been
buried at depth of from four to five
inches. When the ground becomes
slightly crusted corn Under these con-
ditions hardly ever reaches the surface.
Then there are the ravages of the mice,
gophers and crows, which cut no small
figure in preventing a good stand Of
corn. Primarily, however, the main
cause of poor stand of corn is poor
seed, and this, too, Is one which is
wholly within the power of the grower
to prevent. Here is a short recipe for
avoiding this difficulty: Pick the seed
corn not later than the 18th of October,
hang it up where it will get thorough
ly dried out and then keep it where it
will be free from frost until needed for
planting. If this should be followed
out the complaint Of poor seed corn
would almost wholly disappear from
the corn growing regions.

The Importance Of gathering the seed
corn from the field before it is struck
by the frost is so great that our read
ers will excuse us if we refer to it
often as the surest method of securing
good seed corn and SO good stand of
corn next year. Gather the corn the
first part of October, hang in a well
ventilated place for it to dry out and
then store for the winter. Seed corn
SO saved will hardly need testing next
year. r44syn,

A difference in time Of the cutting of
the first crop Of clover will make all
the difference in the world as to the
yield Of the second crop. If the cut
ting Of the first crop Is delayed until
nearly all the heads are brown the
second crop will not be worth much.

We have all noticed the somewhat
ludicrous thing Of the old bird trying
to take care of and feed it's young
bird, which was as we'll feathered and
as we'll matured as the Old bird itself.
While this is of course permissible with
birds, we do not believe in it's applica-
ton to man, and we always feel sorry
for the father, and still more for the
son, where this practice is put in opera
ton. After a young man is twenty
one years Of age the sooner he is
turned loose to shift for himself the
better for both.

A vine, such as grapevine,
creeper or wistaria, may be allowed to
grow up and around the trunk Of a
shade tree on the lawn, often with
quite a pretty effect, but it must never
be allowed to reach the branches of
the tree, for if it once gets into the
top of the tree it is sure death to it.

We are asked whether the late cult
walton Of corn-for instance, the plow-
ing Of it after the corn has tasseled
out-has a tendency to hinder the ma
turing Of the crop. This depends. If
such late cultivation was what it
should be-viz, purely surface cult
walton, making a dust mulch for the
crop-it would not be, but, on the con-
trary, would be beneficial In dry
time in preventing the corn from fir
ing. But If such cultivation was in
the nature Of deep blowing, which In
volved the cutting Of more or less of
the base roots Of the corn, it would
have the tendency to delay the matur-
ing Of the crop and would In no way
be beneficial to it.

The American people are studying
more closely than ever before the eco
noInic value of piece of land as re-
lated to furnishing a part Of the living
for the family. They realize that what
looks like a good salary for the munich
pal resident is largely used up in the
purchase Of everyday necessaries-
fruits, vegetables, poultry and poultry
products, milk, butter, cream, etc.-all
of which and some to spare may be
obtained from very small tract Of
land. The interurban roads are doing
much to solve this problem, permit
ting city resident to keep up his work
in the town while he may at the same
time have all the advantages of a
country home. The many good things
which may be associated with even
one acre Of land are only just becom-
ing to be understood.

Considering the great value of the
silo to all stock and dairy men it is
remarkable how slow men who would
be greatly benefited by it are to take
it up. The silo is just as much natu-
raj ally of the corn crop as cows are
Of the blue grass pasture. The silo
can be built for what men paid for
reaper twenty-five years ago. 1t means
where used succulent and nutritious
food all winter long for all the stock;
it means increased milk receipts and
consequent profits; it means an eco
nomic use Of what would otherwise be
lot of wasted forage and good many
loads Of hay for sale which without it
would be consumed on the farm.

Is it best to cut the second crop Of
clover for hay, let it ripen and cut it
later for seed, pasture it of or plow 1t
under? That depends. Cut as hay. it
is not of great value, though it makes a
very appetizing ration for the milk
cows in winter. Whether it will pay
to cut it for seed depends upon how
well the crop Is fortified. Some years
the fertilization is very imperfect and
the crop is not worth fussing with for
the seed. Whether it Will pay or not
may be determined by taking a few
heads just as they begin to turn brown
and dissect them, which will show
easily what sort of seed crop may be
looked for. AS between feeding off
in the fall and blowing under we should
much prefer the latter, as this process
returns to the soil valuable fertilizer.
If plowed it should be done Just as
about half the heads are turned brown.

The skunk is pest Of our present
agricultural development There are
a hundred of these beasts now where
there were five when the country was
first settled. We know OF a case
where over 100 of them were killed on

the west last season. They are one of
the greatest pests which the poultry
raiser has to contend with and work
a fearful destruction among all our
game and ground birds by destroying
their nests.

A young man, friend of ours, who
has dutifully and faithfully worked
for his father until he has become Of
age, writes us as follows: 81 am TWEEN
ty-One years Of age. I have worked
on the farm with my father and have
little property to the value of about
$1,000. I have had limited educa-
ton, only such as could pick up at the
district school and from such books
and newspapers as we had in the
home. Two propositions appear open
to me. One is to get married and set
tie down on the farm. The other is to
take what money have and spend it
to acquire larger education, with the
hope Of filling larger sphere in life.
Which is the better for me to doY'
Knowing our friend as we do and be-
Heving him to be proper subject, we
unhesitatingly advise him to devote the
next four years OF his life to acquiring
good modern education. It is time
enough to get married when one is
twenty-five. Inasmuch as he is fond
Of farming and has had an excellent
practical training at home in this line,
we would suggest that he take a full
agricultural course at one of our best
state agricultural colleges. At the end
Of that time, even if his money be gone
and he still wishes to go on the farm,
he would be so much better equipped
to carry on his business intelligently
and successfully that he would con-
slider the money well spent. It is to-
day with the young man as with one
who climbs a mountain side. AS one
climbs up step by step, ever enlarging
and widening views are seen, and the
more one sees the more one wants to
see, until ambition leads one to be IN.
satisfied until the top of the mountain
is reached A little education begets-
a desire for more, and a young man
once started along this line is abso-
lutely assured Of securing larger and
more desirable position In life. In a
word, we would say to the young man,
Put off the wedding, spend your money
FOR an education, work hard and trust
the LORD FOR the future.

Buried in shade-that's what ails so
many homes, and all brought about
through the forgetfulness Of the man
who planted the trees that trees will
grow and grow fast, and but few have
the courage to take the ak and cut
down the trees which they have plant
ed. Thus the sun is shut out from ac-
cess to the house, the shingles become
covered with green moss and every
thing invites Ill health. There is a
close relation between wrongly planted
trees, patent medicines, doctors and
undertakers. Man never does well in
the shade until he Is dead.

There will be this year, as every
year, hundreds Of thousands of acres
Of small grain allowed to stand in the
shock in the fields to blacken, sprout
and bleach waiting for the thrashing
machine to come to thrash from the
shock. If man is any number lower
than six on a thrashing circuit he is
almost sure to have trouble in store
for him. The losses from this source
are enormous. The plan works all
right in the rainless regions Of the far
west, but is wasteful in the largest
degree in the central states.

Under the new system Of caring for
the earth roads by dragging them after
every heavy rain the best results will
be secured by the township trustees
letting the work out by contract In the
spring at so much per mile, the con-
tract to include the treatment of all
the roads in the township While
much good work in this line will be Sc
cured by the gratuitous work Of pub
lie spirited farmers, it will still not be
uniform, and, further, when man
has paid his road tax he should not
be expected to donate further work for
road improvement as a regular thing.
The cost to let such contracts and COW
er all the roads in township Is really
a very small item, there being on an
average about seventy-six miles Of
highway in each civil township, and
experience has shown that such roads
may be cared for in this manner and
kept in almost perfect condition during
the period when there is no frost in
the ground for SUM not to exceed SO
per mile. The sum received from poll
taxes in each township will just about
cover this item, leaving all the rest Of
the road tax to be used for other pur-
poses.
