the plan for dry bedding or men
laying off the row as you suggest

farmers say they had tried the
"dry-bedding" or throwing two
burrows toR ether with the Mallory
plow, and were delighted with
it, and were satisfied it material

Using Brains on the Farm.
From the Savannah News:

From the Savannah News:
The most, productive farms Of
the country are those of the
northwest. This is not because
the natural conditions are more
favorable in that section than In
others-the south. for instance
but because the northwestern
farmer is a stickler for system in
his business. He does nothing
by guesswork. He keeps books
and takes a strict accounting OF
expenses and income. He knows
what 1T COSTS him to grow his
crops, and when he has marketed
them he knows what his profit
or loss has been. he knows the
value of keeping mp his machin-
cry and his stock and taking ad-
vantage of newest methods. He
is a reader Of newspapers and
magazines and keeps abreast Of
the progress of the world. Year
after year the farmers are mix
ing more and more brains with
the Drawn and guano they put on
their fields, with most satisfac-
tory results.

New Experime With
Corn.

Experiments with corr at the
Nebraska Experiment Station
have just been compiled and
published as Bulletin 81. Tests
Of a number of varities of corn in
different parts of the state have
continued. Something over one
hundred farmers are engaged in
these tests. 1t was found:fthat
no one variety of corn is equally
we'll adapted to all parts of the
state. By dividing the state in
to six sections, it was shown that
certain varieties yielded best in
certain sections aud other varie.
ties In other sections. The yields
obtained by each experimenter
are stated in the bulletin.
Corn was planted sufficiently
thick so that it could be thinned
out to from one to five stalks per
hill, 44x44 inches apart. On
good soil with liberal moisture
supply, three stalks per hill gave
the largest yield of grain, al
though the ears were smaller
than where the planting was
thinner. EXPERIMENTS indicate
that towards the western edge
of the corn belt two stalks per
hill are better than a large mum
Der. .
The plats of corn having the
thlckest stand had the largest
proportion of barren stalks. On
the other hand, suckers are more
abundant in the thin stand of
corn. These suckers serve q USE
full purpose in producing ears
when the stand of corn is thin
ner than the soil and moisture
can easily support. In regions
of sufficient rainfall it would not
seeEI advisable to remove the
tillers In .Ao hope of improving
the yield.
Experiments with seed corn
from different states lead to the
conclusion that seed corn should
be raised as near as possible to
the locality In which it is to be
planted.
Seed corn placed in a dry seed
room in the fall gave 20 per cent
better stand in the field than
seed corr from the same field
that was left in the crib over
winter. T. L. Lyon

Some Profitable Experience.
Southern Cultivator:

Editor Southern Cultivator:
This cold rainy day reminds
me of many such days, when l
lived in town, and had to work
in a dark shop to make expenses
or draw on my little savings for
a livelihood for these rainy days;
and maybe u wood was nearly
out, and no wagons would run
such bad days as this. But ]
worked hard, and saved enough
to buy a nice farm in the country,
and stock and feed to run it the
first year bought a sawmill out
fit and sawed the timber where l
wanted to clear the land, built
a good house, and made other
improvements on the place, sold
my shop and home IN town, and
moved to the farm, where we
have been living now nearly two
years. My ,fe and children are
all healthier and happier and en-.
Joy life much better here than
they did in town.
l Will tell how l began to farm /;
l rented out a one-horse farm for
standing rent and run three
others myself. Among the first
steps l made towards farming
was to read the Oultivator, then
l went to work as near like IL
said, as my meant and circum-

stances generally would admit
of. l kept two good mules and
one horse, a few cows, and a good
many hogs have cleared a great
deal of fresh land, built good
tenant houses, terraced my land,
bought what l could not make in
the way of good farm tools and
implements. l keep a forge and
a good set of wood and black
smith tools, so that | can keep
my farm implements in good
condition, don't think it pays TO
work with dull or worn. out tools.
This year 1905 has been quite
an unfavorable one for farming
in this section, but we have made
fairly good crops; any way we
are eating cur own hog and
hominy and burning our own
wood these cold rainy days. i
will give my plan for dividing
up my crops l cultivate about
100 acres with three pIows which
| run myself. | plant 80 acres
cotton, about 5 acres in sweet
potatoes, sorghum, popcorn ana
sugarcane, 10 acres in oats, fol
lowed with Spanish ground peas
and 5 acres In old fashion or run
ming ground peas, and the balan
ce in corn, with field peas in
every row.. l have no shredder,
but cut part Of my corn crop in
fodder stage, so | can cut plenty
of hay. At this writing, Dec
Goth, l have half Of my oat crop
up and growing, will SOW balance
in spring, and nearly all my cot
ton land turned with a two horse
pillow. Now, Mr. Editor, if you
think it worth the while l would
be glad for you to comment Oh
my plan and offer any improve
ment that might suggest itself t.
your mind, that would be- practic
able for a poor man to try. VIVA,
do you think of laying off orr
land on hilly land, with middle
buster in fall or early spring.
| think it would be a great help
to the terraces in holding water.
if nothing else.
Any advice you see fit to give
on these lines through the Cul
will be gladly received.
Wishing the Cultivator a mer.
ry Christmas and a prosperous
year for 1906, l remain yours in
the work. M. S.

How Carelessness Keeps the
KnoW-it-al Farmers Poor.
The Progressive Farmer:

SeU reading some, writing a little,
posting my books and planning
for the campaign that is to follow
sill this bad weather. Yes, the
weather is bad, but stock are all
comfortably housed, and tools
and machinery under sheds. |
could not feel comfortable my
self If any of the dumb brutes
were exposed to this cold rain.
All farm operations are at a
standstIll, so far as active work
is concerned, but the wise farm
er is planned ahead for the COM
ing season. 1t is said that no
other business could stand the
drawbacks that come to the far
mer aud succeed. Well. maybe
not, but these bleak wintry days
are a help to many of us. We
rest and recuperate, both man
and beast we lay our plans, read
our agricultural papers. study
the bulletins, and in many ways
fortify ourselves for the busy
season later ON.
Are your tools and machinery
under shelter, good friend? L
passed a good farm the other
day and saw all the tools scatter
ed about the barn, nothing under
shelter except the wagon. l
know OF a reaper that has never
Seen sheltered since it was first
set up.
Now, good friends, this is one

mot stand. Why will a man buy
costly machinery and leave 1T ex
posed to all kinds of weather. |
cannot answer that question, and
Will leave it for my readers to
ponder over. Another thing l
cannot explain is why a man will
leave his cattle out all winter ex
posed to the weather. Some time
since | passed a farm and saw a
few poor cows standing shiver-
ang In the cold, trying to eat
wheat straw. Not shelter, nor
the sign of any other feed, and
the man expected these COWS to
give milk. l once knew a man
who did not have a stable for his
horse. He kept him tied to a
tree in the yard.
Mr.. Editor, do / expect to start
any great reform movement by
writing about these things?
Hardly, because the people who
do these things do not read your
paper, nor any other farm paper.
They are the folks who know
more about farming, stock-rais-
'ing and all kindred questions
'ean all the farm papers com.
ined. They are also the folks

MAKERS OF STEEL KEEP
UP WITH THEIR ORDERS
San Francisco Calamity VIII Have
Little Effect on Market This Season
if at All.

Structural steel demands from San
Francisco cannot possibly affect this
years building in Minneapolis, if the
Iron Trade Review correctly cages the
market The Review does not expect
that the demand for steel will be APP
probably felt for several months. In
suranee is now being adjusted and it
is not probable that contracts viii be
made before July ]. About the only
orders to date are for small tonnage Of
merchant pipe and roofing, which can
be promptly filed.
cit is estimated that 10000 tons of
structural material cannot be used for
a number: of, MONTHS says the Re
view, and as the total production Of
these shapes for this year will be
about 100000 tons, the demand grow
ing out Of the earthquake and fire can
be easily met. A single modern mill
with capacity Of 800 tons per day
could soon reH all the shapes which will
be required.
EVERY necessary preparation is be-
ing made promptly to FIJI orders from
the coast, and it is expected that Amer
lean manufacturers will be liberal in
giving buyers time in which to make
their payments. It is exceedingly
doubtful whether foreign manufacturers
would grant anything like as favorable
terms as will be freely given by manu-
facturers of this country. This fact
will undoubtedly have Important infiu-
ence in preventing the removal OF the
tariff on structural material. That
proposition is being strongly opposed
by California congressman, and 1t ID
not at all likely to succeed.

NOT BAD.

Rear Admiral Longenecker, who re-
Gently retired, was talking one day at
League Island navy yard about discon-
tent among soldiers and sailors.
"Men are often disconnected without
reason,'' he said, tbut oftener they
have good ground for their grumbling,
and it is because their officers are
stupid or lazy that conditions do not
improve.

GUS. handsome, stupid army officer.
During my visit "a private APP

saucer in his hand.

officer, in condescending tone.

a FACTS ABOUT NEGROES :
Double in Numbers since 1seo-Half
I, las Illiterate as Then.
New York Sun

Negroes form II per cent Of the total
Of the United States. Nine
ty per cent of them live in the south,
where: they form one-third of the pop
ulation. Eighty per cent of them live
in; rural districts or, in small towns.
Mulattoes form from ninth to a
sixth Of them, according to location.
in 1860, with an illiteracy
Of almost 100 per cent, this: proportion
has been decreased to Al, per cent for
the country at large, and to 48 per
cent ia The south. =
Notwithstanding the Improvement in
percentage of educated negroes, there
are actually more illiterates today in
Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi,
Louisiana. Arkansas and the District
of Columbia than there were in 1860.
The explanation lies in the increase in
population. In 1860; the negro pepula-
ton was 100000; in 1900 it was
100000. - ::
The majority Of the leaders Of the
colored people are mu1attoes, and over
SO per cent Of the students at the lead
ing schools for negroes are of mixed
blood But the Hampton, investigators
from whose records the above facts are
taken, say that this does not prove any
inherent superiority in the mulatto, but
is due to the advantages he has re.
ceived by reason. Of his mixed blood.
" A study Of the records Of Hampton
institute has failed to show any marked
difference in. the percentage Of high.
grade students of the two classes.
