Now, just a few words about my
power and I will close. I use a gaso-
line engine, manufactured by the
White Blakeslee Manufacturing Com
pany, of Birmingham, Ala I consider
this the best engine on the market for
any kind of work, and especially farm
purposes. AS I have seen and inves-
tigated a great number of gasoline en-
gines, | know whereof I speak. It is
always ready to run, and as safe as
water power. Mine is six-horse en-
gine, and pulls my shredding machine,
which is the 2B size,. to perfection I
have tried it for many other things
and have never found it wanting.

abundance of land, but that it takes a
vast amount Of work to oversee a large
area which is being farmed by the
scientific methods. They can make
more money selling land than raising
crops. Mr. Campbell has raised as
much as ffty-four bushels of wheat to
the acre in Western Nebraska and
forty-three bushels to the acre in the
western tier of counties in Kansas, and
forty bushels of corn to the acre $500
feet above. sea level in Colorado, and
this without irrigation The natural
moisture of these sections is less than
fifteen inches annually
Along with the new system comes
vast amount Of new machinery. 1t
takes the ordinary farmer half dozen
trips over an ordinary field before his
field is sown; it takes the scientific
farmer one trip. On the prairies east
of Denver are being operated combi-
nation implements which are the most
wonderful ever seen in the Middle
West At the head of one procession
is a thirty-two horsepower engine,
which pulls all the rest; next come
twelve 14-inch ploughs, behind them
are two corrugated iron rollers, then
two c1od crushers; next come har-
rows, and behind them the seed drills
In front of the engine it is unbroken
prairie, behind the drills it is smooth
and seeded ground. The machinery
prepares and seeds thirty-hve acres in
a day of ten hours. Under the old
system of farming in Kansas and Ne
braska it costs, according to the
records of agricultural bureaus, $3.50
an acre to SOW wheat; under this sys-
tenn it costs about 80 cents an acre to
put in the crop. The Importance of
doing it all at once is that it absorbs
the moisture in the ground and leaves
the soil in perfect condition to absorb
every particle that falls during the
autumn.
It is estimated that 15O, 100000 acres
of the plains region can be utilized by
this method of agriculture On it can
be raised not only wheat, but alfalfa,
kafir corn, barley and Durum wheat
Most of these crops will grow in the
average year without any special agri-
culture. The farmer can depend upon
enough of these new kinds of produce
ton to support his family His or
chards and his surplus income can be
assured by such methods as are suited
to the new conditions. It is one of the
most interesting of all the Vests
present undertakings, and thousands
of new settlers are watching it.
The Value of Shredded Corn

Does 1t Pay to Raise Registered
Cattle in the South?

A correspondent of the Southern
Agriculturist asks this question and
then proceeds to answer it from his
own experience. A little farther along
he says that it is mystery to him why
SO many farmers will continue to raise
scrub stock. He seems to forget that
most of them turn their stock out on
the range to rustic for their food and
browse from wire grass and palmetto
leaves when they can do no better.
Of course, it will not pay to buy
thoroughbred cattle for any such
method of feeding. But that is a poor
way to keep any kind of stock, and if
you are willing to give them proper
care, there is no doubt that the pure
bred cattle are the most profitable.
There is general inquiry among
our farmers as to whether it pays to
raise we'll bred cattle in the South or
not, and in answer to this inquiry [
will relate some of Our experience on
the Oak Dale Farm:
In February 1901, we purchased
yearling heifer, Early Hill Tulip, No.
4OO43, of the Aberdeen Angus breed.
She was medium in size, we'll built
and taken altogether, she was a good
Individual. Her first calf, bull, was
dropped May 80, 1902, and at seven
months old we sold him for 500. Her
next calf was also a BULL but by the
time he was ready to sell, slump had
come in the prices of cattle, and we
realized only $50 for him. Her next
one was heifer, and being DESTROYS
to keep all of our registered females,
we refused to sell her, and we'll we
did, for she now has at foot an extra
fine bull calf The next was also a
heifer, now about ten months old, and
it would take a pretty sum OF money
to buy her, and the COW is within a
few weeks of dropping another one.
The cow is now in her seventh year

in value by SO doing. A correspondent
of the Southern Cultivator has found a
better way and tells of it in very clear
manner:
Our crops in this section at present
are very fattering, as the rains have
been plentiful up to present, but the
last four or five days of hot sunshine
and wind have dried out things so
that cotton is shedding considerable,
and if rain does not come pretty soon
the cotton crop in this section will be
cut down fully one-third.
Of course, corn, that is, the forward
crop, is too far along to be affected
by the seasons very much, but late
corn will suffer more or less. Many
of our farmers have already begun to
pull fodder, and have all their stalks
and the shucks that are on them in
the field to go to waste. Many of
them will say that stock will not eat
the ''shredded stuff,'' and that cutting
the corn off the land will cause it to
clod, and that cutting the corn will
cause the grains to shrink up and rot,
but this is not true. If any one will
cut their corn about a week or ten days
later than they would pull fodder, and
shock it in large shocks, putting about
200 or 300 stalks in a shock, and tie it
we'll with two bands, one just above
the ears, and another around the tops,
| will guarantee that no shrinkage
will be found in the ears, but if any
difference it will be the other way.
The ears will be heavier than if the
fodder were pulled in the usual way.
Then let the shocks stand until thor
oughly dry. A good way to test this
is to pull out stalk from the middle
Of the shock and pull the fodder off
point and take your knife and cut the
stalk in two, and if the pith is dry,
then you are ready for shredding, but
under no circumstances shred it until
| it is thoroughly dry. Of course, there
are a great many shredders on the
markets, and they are all claimed by
the manufacturers to be the best, but
there are some that do the work a
great deal better than others, so after
seeing a great many of these machines
at work and investigating a great
many more, I decided upon the i'm
proved St. Adams, which is sold here
in Atlanta by Mr.. L. A. Madden, 1877
Whitehall Street Speed this machine
to about 1000 revolutions per minute,
and it will certainly tear the toughest
hardest stalk into such fine pieces
that you can find no stalk in the stover
at all hardly. Now, as soon as you
have finished shredding, if it is con-
venient, get a press and bail your
slower up, and then you will have as
good a feed as anybody's fodder"

almost always on heavy materials. such
as hard wood. metals or stone. the
work has been laborious and slow, and
consequently very expensive.
Now that pneumatic tools have been
added to the divers outfit, his effi-
cheney has been immeasurably increas-
ed. Every hour large vessel is tied
up for repairs means a big loss, and
in time of war the cost of such delays
cannot be estimated in dollars
The application of this system OF
labor-Saving tools to submarine work
is one of the most important advances
in many years.
No less important, and in some cases
more so, is the submarine electric light
which enables the diver to find the OBJ
ject of his search. Especially is this
true where he must enter the hold OF
sunken vessels and make his way thru
cabins or over tumbled cargo. The
great danger in such work is that the
air pipe or the life line may catch oh
some obstacle, or even worse, be cut
in two, in which event his chances of
coming up alive are very slim. With
the electric light he can avoid these
dangers.

HUMORS OF THE PATENT OFFICE
GAZETTE,

The Patent Office Gazette is usually
esteemed a very dry publication, but it
has lots of amusement in it for those
who have an eye for mirth. A source
of perpetual amusement are the inven-
tors of non-refillable bottles, who seem
to have exhausted every combination oil
slass-blowing in getting up absolutely
impossible and unuseable bottles. There
was only one patented last week, how
ever, but it took two mems intellects
combined to devise it. %
]. c. Cooper has invented broom
protector. If we are to believe the
funny men, what is more needed IS
something to protect children and hus-
bands from brooms i'll the hands OF
angry women.
E. L. Perry has invented an instanta-
neous wrench, which, however does rot
seem to have any relation whatever 70
the final mortal pull which the dentist
gives.
F. H. Arnold has patented a safety
razor. Writers have said that the only
safety razor is one that is locked up
where the colored porter cannot get it
when he goes to a ball in the evening.
Undeterred by the fate of some 5000
or 5000 predecessors, NJ. L. Williams
and C. McQuown have each invented a
rotary engine which will probably have
no further interest except to the other
inventors who study the Patent Office
Gazette TO avoi' what they have done.
D. n. Robertson, Lynn, Mass, has in
vented skiving machine which excites
wonder as to what it is intended to do.
Examination of the text shows that
skiving is a process of leather making,
and Mr.. Robertson talks about the vari-
Gus stages of skiving and the manner of
handling leather after it is skived, just
as if he and everyone else knew what
he was talking about

Alcohol From Corn Cobs.

one ton of green corn cobs and about
six gallons from a ton of the green
stalks. These experiments were made
with a view to making use of the waste
from plants already engaged in can

shows about the same results. It is
