results, while with listed corn shall
low cultivation proved superior.
Utah Station-Tests extending over
five years showed the best results
for medium depth of cultivation.
Nebraska Station. = Results from
cultivating three inches deep were
much better than from cultivating six
inches deep.
North Dakota Station-The results
were in favor of shallow cultivation,
taken as whole.
Iowa Station. Results from two
years work showed a yield of 7I.o
bushels from deep cultivation and
82.4 bushels from shallow cultivation,
or a gain of 1915 bushels per acre in
favor of shallow cultivation.
New Hampshire Station. = Five
shallow civilizations gave yield of
1911 while five deep civilizations gave
6o.7, or a gain for shallow cultiva-
ton of ga bushels.
Georgia Standardization cultiva-
ton showed an average of "a bushels
of shelled corn per acre more than
deep cultivation.
Taking these thirteen Experiment
Stations, it will be seen that at ten
of them the results were unmistaka-
bly, in favor of shallow cultivation.
At one shallow cultivation was best
with listed corn and deep cultivation
with drilled Only at one, and then
apparently in only one test, did the
deep culture give the largest yield,
and then there was difference Of
only one bushel per acre.
Moreover, the Mississippi Station
compiled results of no tests made
at the different Stations and showed
that in sixty-one tests deep cultiva-
ton gave an average yield of $40
bushels per acre; while in ffty-6ve
tests shallow cultivation gave an av-
erage yield of 74.7 bushels, or gain
of o.8 bushels per acre in favor of
shallow cultivation.
But why does shallow cultivation
give better results than deep? Deep
culture usually means ridging while
shallow culture is usually done near
ly level. In dry seasons this may ac:-
count for part of the increase in yield

with shelves at the sides and curtains
all around. The pans are kept filled
with water and the curtains rest in
the water both at top and bottom
which keeps them wet and the evapOr
alton cools the air. If the idea Of the
item below does not infringe upon this
patent, we believe that it would be a
good one.
An ingenious woman l know has
devised plan for having good, cold
milk and butter all summer without
cheap, easily taken care of and is
successful. l will give the plan and
any housewife can have one with
very little work.
Get four pieces of scantling 2x4
inches, six feet long, and nail pieces
two feet long each way about two and
one-half feet from the ground, and
nail pieces of the same at the top.
Then board over top and also lay a
floor at bottom. Now put shelf ON
each side and cover all around and
on top with nice clean bran sacks, or
burlap. Leave one side open and put
loops ON it, and rails on the side to
faSten it.
Put a tub on top and fill it with
water and put wooden strips Of cloth
two and three inches wide in it so
that thep feed the water down and
keep the sacking wet all the time.
The air blowing through the wet sacks
keeps everything almost as cool as
if it were in refrigerator, and the
butter and milk taste better than if
it were shut from the air and will
keep fresh much longer in this dairy.
An old blanket makes the best feed
ing strips; put in enough to have
three or four to each side
This dairy was kept in the yard
under shade tree, but the back porch
is equally as good a place and more
convenient. Any one who tries this
plan | am sure will be delighted with
it.

That our American forests abound in

That our American forests abound in
plants which possess the most valuable
medicinal virtues is abundantly atteSted
by scores of the most eminent medical
writer's and teachers. Even the untu-
tored Indians had discovered the useful
ness of many native plants before the
advent of the white race. This informa-
ton, impaired freely to the whites, led
the latter to continue Investigations until
to-day we have rich assortment OF most
valuable American medicinal roots.
- . -
DR.. Pierce believes that our American for
ests abound in most valuable medicinal roots
for the cure of most obstinate and fatal dis
eases, If we would properly Investigate them;
and. in confirmation of this conviction he
points with pride to the almost marvellous
cures effected by his "Golden Medical Dis
covery," which has proven itself to be the
most efficient stomach tonic. liver invigor-
atOr, heart tonic and regulator. and blood
cleanser known to medical science. Dyspep-
STA, or indigestion, torpid liver. functional
and even valvular and other affections Of
the heart yield to it's curative action. The
reason aOhy it cures these and many other
affections, is clearly shown in little book
of extracts from the standard medical works

Not less marvellous, in the unparalleled
cures it is constantly making of woman'S

distressing arrangements, is DR.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription. as is amply attested
by thousands of unsolicited testimonials con-
tributed by grateful patients who have been
cured by it of catarrhal pelvic drains. painful

ployed in their manufacture were original

aid of apparatus and appliances specially
designed and built for this purpose. Both

One Million Bushels Corn Lost by
Wrong Plan of Laying By.

This is the estimate made for North
Carolina by correspondent of the
Progressive Farmer
1t is rather late for the warning to
do any good in Florida, for this sea-
sons crop. But if too late to benefit
you this year, make note of it and
experiment along that line next sea-
son:
The writer was recently asked the
question: by how many bushels will
the yield of corn in North Carolina
be reduced by deep cultivation at lay
ing by? At that time we thought
million bushels might represent the
loss, but in the light of the results
obtained by the various Experiment
Stations it would seem that such an
estimate is conservative in the ex-
IRENE.
The following summary of the re-
suits obtained by the Experiment Sta
tons in testing deep and shallow cult
walton is taken from the Annual Re-
port (1oo4) of the United States Or
fee of Experiment Stations:
Illinois Station.-An average of five
years showed a gain for shallow over
deep cultivation of SO bushels.
Indiana misunderstanding from
one to one and one-half inches gave
the best results and the average for
nine years showed in favor OF shall
low culture.
Ohio Station.-Tests between cult
waiting one and one-half inches and
four inches deep, continued for nine
years, gave a gain in favor of the
shallow culture of four bushels per
acre:
Pennsylvania Station.-Corn cult
waited two inches deep gave fifty-eight
bushels per acre, while that cultivated
four inches. deep gave ffty-nine bush
els.
Missouri Station.-The tests for two
years showed gain by shallow cult
walton of 25.2 per cent
Kansas Station.-Tests during two
years showed the largest yield from
shallow cultivation.
