saving the Corn Fodder.

While the selling price Of hay has
in the past, as rule, largely deter
mined the value Of corn fodder, the
time is at hand when, regardless of the
price Of hay, such system of han.
dliag the corn crop should be adopted
as will put an end to the enormous
waste which is annually witnessed in
practically all Of the corn belt west
of the Mississippi river. A more care
full and sensible handling Of the stalk
and leaves of this important cereal
plant will mean the addition of many
acres TO the farm area. The hitherto
wasteful methods which have prevailed
In this respect have without doubt been
due TO the existence of large farms,
relatively cheap land and that system
of handling the crops which marketed
the products of the soil in the shape
of the grain itself rather than In the
more condensed form of butter, pork
and beef. However, with land values
steadily increasing and more and more
time being devoted to dairying and
stock raising, condition has arisen
which practically compels more thrift
and care in the handling Of this most
important farm crop.

Pure Bred PouIty on the Farm.

When you have made up your mind
to raise thoroughbred poultry instead
Of mongrels, determine also to keep
only one breed, one color and one type
This Is very important on farm
where arrangements are not usually
found for keeping poultry separate
Very often complete reorganization
of the poultry appliances will be nee
essary. 1t is perfectly obvious that
however valuable and pure bred a
stock may be, 1t cannot be kept so un.
less certain things are observed.
