Good Business,

writer who spends his summers at
the seashore tells the following story:
An ignorant countryman who saw the
saa for the first time was much I'M
messed with the effect OF the blue
water and asked fisherman II he
could tell him the owner, as he would
like to buy gallon to take home to
his wife. The fisherman replied, proud
ly: -.

Gland sakesr' exclaimed the rustic.
"Could you sell me gallon for 90
centsY"
.Sure," said the fisherman; and he
disappeared, returning in a few mo-
ments with a jar Of water, for which
he received the countryman's so cents.
The latter departed with his pur-
chase. Returning later in the day, az
for the tide had gone out, he gazed In
client wonder at the water. which had

Corn Smut.

Because it is generally known that
the losses from SHUTS of wheat and
oats may be prevented, or greately re-
duced, by various treatments of seed,
the Oklahoma experiment station at
Saltwater is frequently asked wheth-
err there is not some way in which
smut of corn may be prevented by
treating the seed. The answer to this
question is, that not only is there 10
such remedy known, but from the ma
ture of the case, such a remedy is
not possible. SHUTS of wheat and
oats are caused by fungi which en-
ter the plants at the time Of germina-
ton of the seed, and which are pre-
vented by treatments which kill the
smut pores which cling to the seed
But the smut of corn develops from
spores which fall on the plants dur
ing the growing season. So the corn
plants may become smutted eTen
though grown from seed on which
there are no living spores. Though
no method of preventing corn smut
is known, it is doubtless true that, by
gathering and burning the smutteG
ears at the time of huSking, the
chances of infection with smut may
be lessened for corn grown in the fol-
lowing year.

Artichokes.

Artichokes are frequently placed
among the lists of garden plants,
which is due to the fact that there are
two species-the globe, which is not
tuberous rooted, growing only from
the seed, the blossom only OF which
Is used; the other. improperly called
the Jerusalem artichoke, is tuberous
rooted, and grown chiefly for it's roots.
There are two varieties of the latter
the white and red. Any land suitable
for corn will produce artichOkes. Cut
the tubers and plant them in the same
manner as for potatoes. They do not
keep we'll if dug out of the ground.
The usual method is not disturb them,
as freezing does them no harm. The
hogs will root them out, but enough
tubers will always be left for next
seasons seeding.

smoked Goose Hams,

In many parts of Europe and here
In America quite on industry in smok-
ed goose hams has been worked up,
saws the National Provisioner. Goose
hams are a luxury, and they are not
dear. considering the holiday prices
Of prime geese. The goose ham is
worth about thirty cents apiece, and
each ham weighs about twelve ounces.
It makes the smoked ham come to
about forty cents per pound. These
tiny hams are cut and trimmed so

Washed-OF Land.

Here is one of the hardest questions
we have had to answer in years. In
dianian" writes: II have lately bought
fifty acres of land. and at one corner
is a four-acre plat that Is washed
badly. In many places the soil is all
gone and the whole of the four acres
is full of gullies. | do not care much
about the expense so that i get the
land leveled again and down in grass"
We should pillow the land as deeply
as possible, grading it down until the
washes were all filed up. Then we
would disk and cross disk it, and ap-
ply 400 pounds per acre 16 per cent
dissolved bone, dragging it in well
with spike drag. In May plant it to
cow-peas in drills thirty inches apart,
twelve to fifteen peas to the foot If
the land is very thin you might use
100 pounds muriate Of potash and
seventy-fiye pounds dried blood per
acre broadcast before planting the
peas. Cultivate the peas, keeping all
weeds down, and in September cut
them in with disk harrow sowing one
bushel of rye per acre. Sow one gal
Ion of timothy seed per acre In the
fall and the same amount of red clover
seed in March, and we think you will
be pleased with the resUlt.-Adams'

Increased the Yield of Wheat.

The results of twelve separate tests
made at the Ontario Agricultural Col
lege, show an average increase in yield
Cf grain per acre of 6.8 bushels
Of wheat from large as compared
with small seed, of 7.S bushels
from plump as compared with
shrunken seed, and of 1916 bush
ola from sound as compared with
broken seed. Seed which was allowed
to become very ripe before it was cut,
produced a greater yield of both grain
and straw and a heavier weight of
grain per measured bushel than that
produced from wheat which was cut
at any one Of four earlier stages of
maturity. In 1897 and again in 1902,
large amount of the winter wheat
in Ontario became sprouted before IT
was harvested, owing to the wet
weather. Carefully conducted tests
showed that an average of only rs
per cent of the slightly sprouted and
IS per cent of the badly sprouted seed
would grow and produce plants. Sure

Dual Purpose Cow.

Several writer's are advocating the
so-called dual-purpose COW for the use
of feeding them afterward, there is
no doubt that the COW which may be
converted into beef Of satisfactory
grade when her usefulness In the
dairy is over is desirable, when the
carcass is to be consumed at home,
there Is serious doubt as to the profit
i'll raising such an animal for market.
1t seems as sensible to advocate the
COW for the specific purpose as the
crop for that purpose That is, If
COW is wanted for the milk supply
the breed which should furnish it
SHOULD be the one selected and not
breed which will finally make good
beef. When we want wheat we raise
the kind that will give us the best
results for the purpose intended. The
dairyman wants a COW that will sup
ply the milk most valuable and he
should carry that idea in mind not
only with the present herd, but with
the increase that are to be added to
it and have the males which will bring
about that result So the man who
wants a beef animal should breed
with that single purpose before him
and reap the result accordingly in
dianapolis News.

the herd in proportion to the amount

Crimson clover, either green or cured
into hay, makes an excellent forage
for sheep. 1t Is rich in the elements
which go to form flesh, milk and
wool. For the best quality of hay it
should be cut when in early bloom.
If cut late the leaves are more apt
to fall off and the hairs on the heads
become hardened into stiff spines,
which are sometimes dangerous,
though more so with horses than with
ruminants.

most of the grain raised is fed to
them, it becomes a matter of prac-

ure in a year, the value Of which, &C
cording to chemical composition, Is
