A New Valuable Forage Crop

Johnson grass the weed curse of the
south, which like truth will not down,
has developed into a great thing when
you get it far enough above the an
nual frost line, so that it becomes an
annual instead of a perennial The
last annual report of the secretary of
agriculture makes somewhat jubilant
comment over the fact that plan
has been discovered for the eradica-
ton of the Johnson grass throughout
the southern states. This years ex-
perimental work on the departments
Arlington farm just across the Po-
tomac from Washington, has devei-
oped the further fact that Johnson
grass is a most valuable forage crop
in the latitude of Washington and
further north. Speaking of the sub
ject, Prof. l.. C. Corbett said:
I'VE have a tenth of an acre plant
ed to Johnson grass on the depart
ments experimental farm. 1t grew
shoulder high, producing splendid
forage crop, equal. l should say, in
it's nutritive value to timothy, and the
second crop, or aftermath, is now ten
inches above ground august 20) You
see we will get one very heavy and
a second good cutting. In this lati-
tude the grass is simply an annual
and offers no menace to the farmers
as it does in the south There of
course, it is a very dangerous and OBJ
noxious weed. Next year we will plant
| r IL
gate the plant as forage crop, which
over a considerable area of the cOun
| try may become one of the most val
liable grasses for pasture and hay

Weight of Eggs

Egg production should be the essen
tial feature of poultry growing. About
two ounces seems to govern the av-
erage size or weight for eggs. Under
this size they sell for lower prices
in the market. A case of thirty dozen
eggs which weighs over slxty-hve
pounds Is quickly claimed In the New
York market This allows full live
pounds for the case, and guarantees
a little better than two pounds to
the dozen for the eggs. Seldom are
such cases offered for SALE When
they are, they bring premium A
fowl might have the finest plumage
known to it's kind. and at the same
time produce two hundred eggs in a
year. provided proper attention mas
been given to the egg production. NO
truer statement was ever made IMAM
that good laying hens are born no.
made. No matter how good she may
be born, however, if properly cared
for and fed, she will not live up TO
her creation. There are three posi-
tive demands for the higher egg pro-
duction. These are being bred, led
and housed for the best egg produc-
ton. Without union OF all these, II
can not be obtained. Either one alb
sent. the chain is destroyed, and the
best results may not come. Undoubt-
edly the inheritance of laying quail
ties is most valuable, for without It,
the best of care and feeding or that
hen would not bring equal result IN
egg production as would be the same

Sheep in the Corn Belt States

For many years we have been advis-
ing our readers who have eighty or
100 acres of land, or more, to keen
few sheep, to commence say with
a flock of twenty-five ewes and the
best buck you can purchase, end in
crease the flock to 100 on quarter
section, 200 on a half, or fifty on an
eighty. Up to this extent we believe
he sheep business will be very profit
able if properly managed.
Our readers have not generally
take nthis advice, but it gives us a
good deal of satisfaction in the last
wear to note an increase of sheen in
the ordinary Iowa and Illinois farms
The time is ripe or nearly ripe for
the introduction of flock on every
farm. Farmers are now coming to
| the point when they can fence and
cross-fence their farms with woven
wire. thus enabling them to feed their
| sheen over the whole farm instead OF
combining them to a permanent pas
ture. The permanent pasture very
soon becomes DISCOURAGED However
with sheep tight fences he can use
| his sheep on the stubble fields or on
the aftermath of the meadows ant
he can fatten his lambs in the corr
field to the benefit both of the lambs
and corn field. There Is money fol

What a Good Cow Will Do

The Country Gentleman notes the
following in behalf of the good COW.
and says:
A good grade cow, about four years
old, costs $50; her average milk yield
will be about eight quarts per day
the year round, the price of which
will be three cents per quart, or $3.50
per annum. The average cost Of
keeping a COW, according to the latest
reports in the United States depart
ment of agriculture Bulletin No. IS,
varies from $3175 to $41.SS per an
mum. We will be safe in estimating
10 cents day, or 5000 year. The
value of a well-fed cows manure
0iouid and solid per year is about
s2725, which should be added to the
credit side of the account. So our
total gross profit will be $114.S5. De
Quoting the cost of kee, we have a
net profit of $685. for the year.

Value of Skim Milk

According to the Year Book, United
States department of agriculture, 100
pounds of skim milk contains IS
pounds of nitrogen, 20 of phosphoric
acid and 10 of potash. The prices
Of these ingredients, as sold in COM
mercial fertilizers, are Is cents a
pound for nitrogen, cents for phos-
phoric acid and cents for potash.
This would make the manurial value
of 100 pounds of skim milk 1895
cents.

Points of Good Seed Corn

Some of the more important observ-
atoms to be made in the selection of
seeds are: Yield, quality, uniformity,
hardness, time of ripening, freedom
from attacks of smut and rust, and,
in the case of small grain, the stiff
ness of the straw.
The corn crop requires, perhaps
as great care in the selection as any
other, and merits special attention

1000 DIVORCES A YEAR.
Chicago Requires 90 Clerks to Cons
pile Census; PhiIadelphia Third.

pie Oeusus; Tnllauelpnla Inlru.
Forty thousand divorces in twenty years,
an average of 1000 year, are the figures
Of Chicago, according to A. M. Pond. who
is in charge Of the taking OF the divorced
census in that city.
: Twenty-Five clerks are now at work tab
ulating the various entries which are to be
made in each case. In the number Of
clerks required for this task Chicago leads
the country, New York being second with
20 and Philadelphia next with IL.
When the last divorce census was taken~
twenty years ago--Illinois and Chicago led
the country. However that census showed
only 8l34 divorces for Cook county, rather
a paltry showing compared with the one
expected this year. i
Special statistics on drunkenness ana
poverty as a contributing factor In divorces
will be obtained from this census.
