This is the time of year to begin to ngnt
the various insects that in1ure stored seeos'
grain and dried fruits.
II Is absolutely necessary that the SEED
be threshed or the corn be husked, and ina
all grain or seed be placed In a ugnt ROOM
box or bin, In which ali cracks and crew
ices should be stopped up as far as posi-
BILE.
Your Weapon Of Warfare.
When the cracks have been carefully
stopped, turn on top of the grain two Cz)
pounds of bisulphide Of carbon for every
one thousand cubic feet Of room space re-
CARELESS Of the amount of grain or seed
that may be In the room. The room should
then be closed up tightly for three days. at
the expiration of which 1t may be opened
and aired out thoroughly.
It is absolutely essential that the bisul-
phide of carbon be placed on top Of the
grain. since this substance evaporates i'm
mediately and as the fumes are heavier
than the air, they will settle and penetrate
every crack and crevice. and kill whatever
animal may be there. II the bisulphide Of
carbon is placed in small dishes on the floor
it will evaporate, but the fumes will not
extend more than a foot or so above and
the entire mass of grain or seed will not
be fumigated.
Where Dried Fruits Are Fumisated.
In using bisulphide of carbon to kill in
sects in dried fruit 1t is a good plan to place
the fruit in paper bags or boxes or barrels,
removing the same to an outbuilding. Satu-
rate a rag with the bisulphide Of carbon and
place the sam on top of the dried fruit
and close up the box or barrel or bag, leav'
ing 1t closed for three days or more, then
air thoroughly.
No Danger. Keep Up the Fight.
Bisulphide Of carbon will not injure the
grain or seed or fruit for eating or for
termination purposes. This fumigating
process should be repeated in a month or
six weeks in order to kill those insects that
may have been inside of the seed and com
pletely enclosed so that the fumes Of the BIZ
sulphide of carbon could not reach them,
but which insects have by this TIM emery
ed and are about to deposit eggs for an
other generation.
One Precaution.
The only precaution necessary in hand
ling the bisulphide of carbon is not to en-
ter the room while the fumes Of this sub
stance can be detected with a lantern or
lighted pipe or any trace whatever Of a
light or fire. 1t cannot be exploded by
handling.
Bisulphide of carbon can be obtained
from the manufacturers in fifty pound
drums for ten cents a pound.

called into service. But all this has changed
as our public domain has been exhausted
and soil fertility drained by these early ex-
ploiters. 1t is becoming apparent on every
land that these things coincident with our
increasing population make it imperative
that two blades must be made to grow in
stead of one. To do this it is conceded that
more attention must be given to prepare
ton for this, our fundamental industry.
Popular appreciation Of this fact in Mis-
souri, seems to me to be evidenced by a one
hundred per cent increase In attendance at
the Missouri Agricultural College this year.
And yet this is not exactly an index Of what
people think Of the matter. It tells but part
Of the story. People believe in education
for the farmer but they do not believe in
that education which has no bearing upon
the practical problems of farm life. And
this is what people think of the instruction
offered by an agricultural college. This was
my opinion in twenty-three years upon the
farm and | had a host of %neighbors who
shared 1t with me. An agricultural college
to us meant an aggregation Of kid-gloved
gentlemen who knew about as much about
farming as It had to be done by the plain,
practical tiller of the soil as an IgorrJte
does Of the manipulations of the New York
stock exchange. But some of US have com
and have seen. We we're wrong, at least
SO far as the Missouri Agricultural College

stoekjudsina.
The course in stockjudging will give the
farmer just the knowledge he will need
when he wants to buy or sell a horse, a COW
or a bunch Of cattle and hogs.
Dairylng.
The Dairy Course will treat of such sub
jects as What Cow Shall I Buy for the
Dairy? How May | Know a Good Dairy
Cow? What Will it Pay me to Feed Her?
How Shall l Handle the Milk? and a hun
bred other questions that arise every day in
the dairy.
Horticulture.
Horticulture will be treated In the same
way. Where Shall l Put the Orchard?
What Trees Shall | Plant? How Shall !
Cultivate Them? How Shall I Keep the In
sects from Injuring Them? How Shall ]
Pick and Market My Fruit? and other sim
ilarly practical subjects will be considered.
Animal Husbsndry.
Animal Husbandry will ask and answer:
What Kind Of Farm Animals Will 1t Pay Me
to Keep? How shall | Breed Them? How
shall | Make Money Feeding Them? What
Shall | do for Them When They Get Sick?
and many other questions equally to the
point.

A TEST OF WHEAT VARIETIES.

Tests Of seventy wheat varieties at the
Missouri Agricultural College the past sea
son show some remarkable differences in
the yields and indicate the most suitable
varieties for the soil and climate OF this
state. Most of the seed was secured from
Missouri, Kansas, Indiana, Ohio and Mich
igan. 1t was planted on uniform soil and
given uniform treatment throughout the
season. The 10 varieties showing the high
est yields in the order named, we're. Mig.
ger, Mortgage Litter, Lebanon, Economy,
Deitz, Valley, Early Ripe, Lehigh and New
American Banner, the yields ranging
from 1851 bushels to 23.71 bushels per
acre. All these showed a fair weight per
measured bushel excepting the last, which
fell to SO pounds. Missouri Fultz was used
as a standard for comparison In the tests,
every third plot being planted to this vari-
ETY.. The average yield Of these Fultz plots
fell a little below the last of the above or
2243 bushels. Too much dependence can
not be placed on these results, as they are
for a single year, but some OF the more i'm
portant varieties, notably Niger, Valley
and Early Ripe have given large yields In
some nearby states and are especially
worthy Of trial In Missouri.

was manage of a creamery last year and
this year has charge of the creamery and
dairy business on the State Farm, where milk
and butter are made every day. NJ. F. Miller
and E. B. Forbes are also engaged in actual
farm operations. Now these facts alone
tend to make instruction practical but more
than these, students do things just as they
ought to do them on the farm. The boys
judging the horse and working in the black
smith shop and the orchard as shown in the
pictures are going at the work to learn it by
doing it. In the class rooms are the poul-
try and the field crops actually studied. In
this way the very kernel of the subject is
presented, and the boy goes back to the
farm knowing something worth knowing.
A Winters Opportunity.
To make this instruction available just
when farmers can best take advantage OF it
is another exceedingly practical part Of the
College. This winter, beginning January 3,
1905, eight weeks courses will be given in
~Stockjudging, Dairying, Horticulture, Ami
NAL Husbandry and Farm Crops.

Missouri does not know her Agricultural
College" This was the remark made to me
by a gentleman prominent in the late polit-
ical battle. These words are true but not
strange. In one short decade every depart
ment Of the University Of Missouri has
made marvellous growth and 1t is no won
der that people have lost sight of the de-
partment so near the interests Of a
vas number of the citizens of this COM
monwealth. 1t is hard TO appreciate the
immensely of the University as a whole
with its nine departments and FIVE hundred
subjects, covering almost every branch of
human knowledge but much harder TO
single out one Of its departments and hold
1t before you as it marches on to greater
usefulness. The Missouri Agricultural Col
lege is one Of the institutions founded by
the Federal government in those good old
early days when land was plentiful and so
productive that it was considered useless
for a boy to spend time learning how to
make two blades grow in place Of one. II
two blades were wanted two fields were

one-third the distance from butt TO tip. Ears
larger around usually have too large a cob.
The shape OF the ear should be nearly cylin-
drical; that is, 1t should be only slightly
smaller near the tip than near the butt. This
is important in order that the kernels may
be uniform In size and shape and that there
shall be a large proportion of corn to cob.
The tip Of the ear should be well rounded
out with kernels and the butt compact,
even and well filled, with a smooth round
depression about three fourths of an Inch
in diameter where the shank was attached.
The rows Of kernels should run straight
from butt to tip with little space between
them at either top or bottom.

THOROUGHBRED CORN.

For SOM years the Missouri Agricultural
College has been making experiments to de-
termine whether 1t Is possible to improve
corn by breeding, The results indicate that
a thoroughbred corn is not only possible but
is absolutely essential to the best yields. In
many cases the yield of corn can be in
creased from s to 20 bushels per acre In q
few years by the proper selection of seed.
There is the same chance for the improve
ment OF corn by a careful selection of ears az
there is for the improvement Of live stock
by a careful selection Of animals and since
1t is increased weight per acre that is most
important in corn, we must know the charac-
ter of the ear which will bring this re-
suit.

CLOVER HAY FOR FATTENING AT
TILE.
The Missouri Agricultural College has
shown that a limited amount of corn fed
with clover hay can be made a very profta-
BILE ration for feeding cattle. The Missouri
Agricultural College has during several win
tiers produced two pounds Of gain per day
on cattle by feeding six pounds Of corn
each and an average Of about seventeen
pounds of clover hay. IN exactly similar
lot of cattle fed six pounds of corn and fl.
teen pounds Of clover hay, made a gain OF
only one pound per day and head. When

until this is corrected. Lime will correct
this condition and an application Of 1000 to
1000 pounds of well air Stacked should be
made some days before seeding and thor
oughly worked into the soil.

A CHICKEN MITE REMEDY.

Mrs. Ida X. Tilson, Instructor in Poultry
Farming at the Missouri Agricultural Col
lege. and owner of q large poultry farm
in Wisconsin, gives this remedy for chick
en- mites:
First, let the chicken house be thoroughly
sprayed three times a week with a solu-
ton Of one teaspoonful of carbolic acid to
the quart of water. A hand force-pump
may be used for the purpose; second,
let every fow by means of a small
bellows be busted with pyrethum; third
let the interior of the house as soon
as 1t is dry be painted with Carbolineum
Avnarius. This is the process to go
through when the mites are once started.
It is sure death to them. When once re-
moved they can be kept out by having the
house thoroughly clean and placing onion
skins, dogfennel, persimmon leaves or
best of all tansy upon the floor and in the
nests, always using a fresh supply daily.
Mrs. Tilson has tried this remedy her
self with uniform success.
MAKING PORK FOR PROFIT.
Pork is made most economically on pas
ture. Experiments at the Missouri Agricul.
tural College show that with corn at 80 cents
per bushel, 1t costs $2.79 to make 100 lbs.
OF pork where bluegrass is fed with the
corn, with rape and corn the cost is
$3.50 per hundred weight, with clover and
corn it is $3.50 per hundred weight, and
with alfalfa and corn the cost of 100 lbs.
Of pork is but s2.13.
Cattle Roughase Influenced Hog Gains.
Hogs following steers in mud lots at the
Illinois Station made 1856 lbs Of pork from
every 100 pounds OF whole corn fed to the
steers when the roughage was corn stover
and timothy and 3.7S pounds OF pork per 100
pounds corn fed TO steers with clover for
roughage. The hog gets the benefit Of the
clover fed to the steers. So he does of oil
meal fed to steers.
