at the rate of 200 pounds muriate per
acre. The result was that no ear corn
was produced where no potash was
used, while in every case where potash
was added, alone or with other chem.
icals, from thirty-slx to sixty bushels of
corn per acre were grown. The owner
Of this farm saw how potash produced
corn, and he was so impressed with the
results that he decided to use potash
again. The following year he used
fifty pounds of muriate Of potash per
acre. The result was a good crop Of
stalks, but no ear corn. We can read
lily see the reason for this. There was
little or no available potash in the
soil. The corn crop was obliged to de.
pend upon what was added in the
murlate of potash. The stalks alone
required fifty-two pounds of potash
to make a full growth. The fifty
pounds Of muriate containing twenty
five pounds of pure potash added less
than enough to grow the stalks, and
there was absolutely none left to pro-
vide for the ears This shows the
necessity of using at least 200 pounds
of muriate per acre on such soils.--

Improving Horses.

The hlgh-grade horse, bringing the
best price, is scarce article on the
farm. If the buyer wants a salable
drafter, a fancy roadster or a stylish
saddler, he is compelled to look over
large territory to find one. The vast
majority of horses grown on the farms
go into the inferior grades when sent
to market. The supply in their class is
greater than the demand, hence the
farmer gets medium or low prices for
his horses.
Farmers do not give enough consid-
Grafton to the breeding of horses. The
additional spring work of cropping
compels many farmers to keep extra
teams to assist in this rushing work.
These teams that work only through
the crop season might just as well be
brood mares. They could raise a colt
and do the work required of them dur
ing the summer months.
A definite plan of straight-line breed
ing Is necessary to develop a solable
horse, one that has the marks of
well-bred animal. No stylish trotter
can be the offspring of the mongrels
of the farm. Just because a small
horse has the gait of a large, heavy
drafter, ii Is no Indication that he will
bring the high prices commanded by
the heavy draft horses. He has none
of their hlgh-prlced qualities. The
breeding must be along definite lines.
If 1t is to the farmers fancy to breed
draft horses, let him select, as nearly
as possible, mares having the charac-
terlstics of the particular draft breed
that he fances.
In the process OF breeding up to get
hlgh-grade animals, the changing of
breeds is, as rule, detrimental. All
breeds live because they have desirable
qualities peculiarly their own. To
cross them with other breeds is to lose
these desirable qualities. To change
the breed of the sire in producing high
grade animals is a backward step. A
horse having in him the blood of
Kentucky trotter, high-stepping coach
or Percheron, does not entitle him to
high class in the city markets. The
good blood In him must count for some-
thing. and only by straightline breed
ing can 1t be made to count.
Stock companies organized for the
improvement Of live stock are not only
commendable, but are Of great value to
locality IL their business Is properly
conducted. II they organize with a
| definite aim in view, II they know
what they want and will get 1t at the
market price, all sharing alike, they
/ will be doing a noble work. But they
must not wait for an agent to come
and organize them to buy horse the
agent has to sell. One time they may
buy a coach and follow him with a
Percheron. Stock companies should
be leaders in the breeding business
men who are familiar with the princi-
Piles of breeding and who know the evil
effects of violating the underlying prin-
ciples. Let the farmers select the
breed they. like, stick to 1t from genera
ton to generation, and they will sure
ly get horse the market demands

A Chicago dairy paper has something
of interest TO butter makers, in which
1t says that it doesn't always pay to
send butter too fresh from the churn,
as butter maker who exhibited at the
recent Illinois convention found out.
His butter was made two days before
being scored, and the Judge found in it
n very decided barn flavor. Otherwise
the butter was well made and was
scored perfect on other points than
flavor, but that fault carried 1t below
ninety. The next day, at the soliclta.
ton of the exhibitor, the judge again
looked at the butter and found it
showed considerable Improvement. AS
the judge explained, the acid in the
butter had developed so that the barn
flavor was almost entirely overcome.
Had the judge been scoring the butter
that day, he stated, he would mark it
up on flavor three points, bringing the
butter into the ninety class and close

Rations For Army Horses.

Experimental feeding in the United
States Army has resulted in establish
ing the following ration of forage for
horses; Twelve pounds of oats and
fourteen pounds of hay every day, with
q salted bran mash twice week. This
may be the best way to feed an army
horse, but shipper who wants to put
a high stopper in condition for the
market usually feeds him all he will
eat of a steam-cooked mixture made
up of one part cracked corn, one part
oats, two parts bran and one-half part
whole fiaxseed. An experienced feeder
says this ration. with hay, will trans
form thin horse into fat, sleek,

what Potash wnI Do For Corn.

At the Illinois station the need of
potash on some soils by corn was
made very clear as the result OF sew
er0l experiments. The stalks required
to grow crop of 100 bushels of corn
contain fifty-two pounds OF potash
while the grain contains nineteen
pounds, or seventy-one in all. As the
stalks grow before the ears are formed,
they Will exhaust the potash In the
soil, II 1t is deficient, so that when the
ears are made there is little potash left
for them. The result will be small and
imperfect cars and poor grain. One
Illinois farmer gave a good illustration
Of this. His soil was black peat, six
teen inches deep. The experiment sta
tion used II for growing corn. and
among other chemicals used potash

Early seeding as a rule is preferable
The advantage of an early start of two
or three or even one week is evidenced
nearly every year for the crop is max
ing itself under most favorable condi-
tions-those existing in June. If the
weather permits and the soil is in good
condition, seeding from the tenth to
fifteenth of March is best. Sometimes
we were not able to finish sowing then
on account of rain and not until q
month later were able to finish. AS a
result there were yields of from one
third to one-half more in favor of the
early seeding. Late sowings usually
make short crops. A good seed bed is
essential. Turning the ground is prefer
able, and need not be over four inches,
but often pressure at other work pre-
vents this, as it takes considerable
time. The next best thing to do is to
use the disc harrow literally and sow
with disc drill crosswise of the disc
ing. Usually the drill tout of gear in
lieu of disc harrow works well. If
grass and clover is to be sown it should
be done at one operation if one has
such an attachment on his drill. Some
times drill can not be had, when one
has TO sow by hand and plow or disc
in the oats, which usually leaves the
ground rough and corrugated. This
can and should be remedied by running
a harrow, light drag or roller over
after sowing. Good seed oats are as
essential as good seed corn. Sowing
common white or black oats bought on
the market is n bad practice. There
are much heavier sorts, heavier in
grain and yield within your reach.-E.
