A onEAr WASTE.

The waste associated with the corn
stalks all over the corn growing sec
tIon Is something enormous, probably
the biggest agricultural waste TO be
found in the whole country. Only q
very small per cent OF the stalks are
utilized as fodder save as the stock
run through the fields during the fall
and winter and, with little benefit TO
the cattle, I'll themselves with the dry
and withered husks. Not less than 20
per cent OF the food value Of the corn
plant is thus entirely wasted There
IL no manufacturing business in all the
country which would stand this sort OF
a loss for minute or even one-tenth
Of II. Men say 1t does not pay to put
corn in the sllo or cut 1t up for winter
feed because they have 80 much hay.
The question Is why they devote so
many acres 10 the production Of hay
when the cornHeld offers the best pos
sibie substitute for II. Utilizing the
corn fodder releases just 80 many acres
Of hay land and TO all intents and pur-
poses thus increases the acreage Of q
mans farm. High priced corn land Is
going 10 compel change. The stalks
win either be utilized as winter fodder
for the stock or some method win be
devised TO use them for their value IN

Farm land having selling value OF
500 per acre must be worked in a
better way than land worth only $50
per acre ~ II Is to be made profitable.
One. trouble Is that the land which gets
I'D TO 500 IS. because Of bad methods,
not as productive as when II was worth
only SS5. The high priced farm can
not be run az a grain farm alone, just
raising and selling the grain from the
farm. This kind Of farming may be
done for few years when the country
and the soil are new, but not forty or
atty years after its occupation. The
question Of a proper rotation OF crops.
the relation Of the grasses and the
cIovers to the fertility OF the farm, the
keeping and feeding Of the domestic
animals to consume the various farm
products, must then have careful con-
sideration. Thirty bushels Of corn or
oats to the acre viii never work with
400 land

II ablebodled men in this country find
themselves today out Of employment Il
is because they arc either in the wrong
place or do not want to work. We do
not recall time when the demand for
labor was more urgent or the wages
paid more satisfactory.

Bronze grass and quack grass are
very closely allied In the, matter Of
taking complete possession Of the soil
and being extremely difficult to get rid
Of when once well established. The
bronze grass should never be sown on
any field which is included in the reg
ular course of rotation. Its place Is In
the permanent pasture.
The Oskaloosa herald., 1905-11-02

A man never makes very much OF a
mistake when he selects soil for a
farm upon which the clovers grow nat
urally. Poor though the soil may
seem to be, the presence OF the clover
gives assurance OF large productive
capacity and certain promise that such
land can easily be REINFORCED and EN-.
richsd. We have come to the opinion
that the worst thing which can be said
OF any soil Is that 1t will not grow
clover.

In the old baronial days a boar's
head baked was considered the great
dish Of the feast Recalling this fact,
we are reminded that the tastes Of the
people have improved, for 1t would be
hard to find a coarser. ranker meat for
banquet than ON old boar's head.

With wool at from 20 to % cents and
mutton worth to cents per pound

lions there is on the farm today. They
pay as well as the COW, are better fer

bother about milking. IL these prices
for sheep and their products could only
be assured there would be hundreds
kept where none is now.

We came across an old man Of eighty
years the other day, one who was a
pioneer settler Of the western prairies,
who went through all the hardships
incident to that kind Of a life fifty
years ago, and he was not loafing
around on the porch In an easy chair
or hobbllng around with cane, but
was tough and why enough so that he
had just finished blowing eighty acres
OF land, using four horses, and he told
us that he thoroughly enjoyed doing the
work. Now, that is the right way to
grow old.

We have two or three complaints
about a failure TO secure a stand OF
clover which was sown with nurse
crop last spring. This IS not an un-
common thing. The nurse crop, wrong
u 50 called, often smothers the tender
clover plants. or, II it does not entirely
Kan them, they are left 70 weak and
spindly when the crop is removed In
July that the fierce midsummer heat
and drought very soon finish them up.
The surest way to insure stand Of
clover Is 70 sow II without any nurse
crop at all. The NEXT best thing Il to
SOW only one,half as much seed OF the
nurse crop as IS usually done. Oats
mako the worst nurse crop. wheat ~
better, barley and dax better yet.
where II Is desired 10 get stand Of
clover the nurse crop should be always
secondary consideration.

A raiser Of turkeys for the market
advises the pouring OF pint Of strong
vinegar down the throats of the birds
twenty-four hours before they are
killed, claiming that such treatment
win make the flesh of the bird more

refined brutality Of our modern civili-
Zation.

Sometimes when a man imports a
good horse into a community he does
as much in a patriotic way for his
community as though he had enlisted

where the Importation Of such a horse
gave to the horses sold during the sue
ceeding ten years an added value Of
over $4,000.

We noticed several carloads Of range
steers on their way to market the other
day. They came from the far west
and, what was rather remarkable, they
were aged steers, probably four to six
years old. They were big, rawboned
fellows, with great horns on them, just
like the old oxen we used tohaye, when
yoke Of them hauled an old iron plow
which would not scour for US when a
boy good many years ago. This type
OF beef has almost entirely disappeared
from the markets, the three-year-old
steer being about the extreme In point
Of age.

That "other eighty" has quite often
proved poor investment for the west
ern farmer. Possessed with an In
ordinate lust for land, no sooner is the
old farm paid for than II Is again
mortgaged to buy that eighty. This
works badly in many ways. II Is
probable that the old homestead Fur
nishes all the acres which the owner
can probably work. Then just 80
long as a mortgage hangs over the
farm just so long is kept up a series
Of pinching economies to meet the In
terest and pay Off the principal, which
not only tell on the productive power
Of the farm, but are all too often re-
fIected in all that pertains to living 10
the farm home.

One OF the most encouraging things
In an agricultural way to be noted
these days is the fact that the Amer
lean people are fast learning much
about the wonderful productive capac-
ity OF small piece Of land when intel
ligently and properly cared for What
these possibilities are Is well iIlustrat-
ed by the case OF ten acre truck
farmer near Boston, who is said to
take from his land produce worth
$4,000 year, or at the rate OF $1,000
per acre. Millions and millions OF
acres OF the best land In the world are
located in the west which do not make
a crop return Of over SO per acre, and
other millions which do not do as well
as this.

An old friend told US recently that
when the first steel plow which would

river bottoms was brought into his
neighborhood the man who got 1t was
so tlckled with 1t that he wanted to
keep 1t going night and day. When
steel was 80 tempered that a plow
would keep clean and bright in the rich,
sticky soils Of the prairie west 1t was
one OF the greatest OF agricultural dis
coyeries. Modern methods OF farming
would be simply impossible without the
polished steel to work the soil.
