gathering il would be memorable enough,
for | never before or since sat at meat
with ten such queer customers as my
hosts of that evening. The officers of
the Aureataland army were a very mixed
iot-two or three Spanish Americans,
three or four Brazlians, and the balance
Americans of the type of their country
men are least proud Of. If there was an
honest man among them he seduously
concealed his title to di= .inction. All this
might have passed from my memory. or
blended in a subdued harmny with my
general impression OF AuTeataland: but
the peculiar position in which | stood

There Is no time which is put in to
better advantage or which fetches a
larger return than that devoted to Sc
lecting the seed corn during the latter
part of September and the first half Of
October. The advantage which secur-
ing the seed ears at this time has over
the ordinary method Of selecting at
husking time lies in the fact that a
choice of the earliest maturing ears
can be made, distinction that is i'm
possible when all of the crop Is ripe
and ready to husk. For all the north
half of the corn belt that type Of corn
Is best which bears its ears low on the
stalk. This means as a rule that such
corn will mature early, and while the
ears produced may not be quite so
large as those which one has to reach
above his head after they are much
more likely to produce hard corn. which
will keep after it Is put in the crib. The
shape and depth Of kernel and form
and type of ears are of very trivial i'm
portance as compared with the main
question as to whether the corn itself
is of variety which will mature a
crop in the latitude in which it is

For the benefit of those who are un-
willing to purchase caps for covering
the cocks we wish to say that alfalfa,
properly cooked, will shed water just
as we'll as clover-in fact, many farm
ers claim that 1t will shed water even
better and that it is no more difficult to
cure than clover In any season. While
this may be true, we urge the use of
CAPS for the reason that alfalfa is so
much more valuable than clover. and a
little extra expense In this line Is

One Of the most interesting studies
show held at st. Joseph. Mo, was
found in the exhibit Of shire horses
from the royal stables Of King Edward
and Lord ROthschild of Sandringham.
England. St Joseph was fortunate in
securing this stable as 1t had not been
the intention to exhibit the horses this
side Of the Atlantic except in the kings
dominion, Canada. Louis Il. Swift, of
Swift & Co., was influential in pre-
vailng upon Manager Beck. repre-
senting King Edward, to exhibit the
horses, in two United States shows.
VIZ, at the Interstate In st. Jo-
seph and the American Royal at
Kansas City. "Our object in bring
ing the horses to this side Of the
Atlantic was primarily to stimulate in
terest in the big shires with the Cana
dians," said Mr.. Beck. Until within
few years the shire has been too
scarce and high priced for the general
run Of breeders. They are still high
priced. but are coming within the range
Of general breeding and are profit
able animal to breed for the big draft
trade" These horses are fine speci-
mems of the thoroughbred shire and are
attracting much attention and favor
wherever they are being shown They
are all great, heavy boned, thick mus
cled animals whose very carriage and
bearing and spring motion when in ac-
ton announce them as something
above the ordinary in horse flesh.

The pig sty is nearly always filled
with materials for absorbing manure,
but they are not cleaned as frequently
as should be the case. In winter If
the yard contains absorbents they be-
come soaked during rains. and are dis
agreeable locations for pigs. The pig
prefers a dry location, as 1t suffers Sc
verely on damp, cold days. The ma
terals in the pig sites will be Of more
service If added to the manure heap
and a plentiful supply Of cut straw
thrown into the yard in its place. The
covered shed. or sleeping quarters,
should be Uttered foot deep with cut
straw, which may be thrown into the
yard after being used, but the yard
should always be cleaned out after a
rain and dry material then added.

Good Yield of fleece.

Ten pounds to the fleece is regarded
large when it is an average from year
ling lambs. A correspondent of In
diana Farmer writes that from a flock
of 1000 yearling lambs Of McCabe &
Nelson flochs, Of Putnam County, In
diana, 10000 pounds of very fine
quality Of wool has been sheared this
season, and that the wool is very even
in fiber and general condition, showing
that the sheep were fed regularly. and
cared for in very excellent manner
This even condition of the wool is al
ways a sure sign OF regular feeding
and care in management and such wool
always brings the best price.

There was a farmer in Brittany VINO

with long tails-a kind OF crow.
THE farmer said the pies devastated
his fields horribly. II he put up scare
crows, the birds tore them down. one
day his young son ran into the granite
farmhouse and shouted:
"Oh. father, hundreds and hundreds

The farmer loaded his gun. But
where was the shot? II couldn't be
found. He put IN a few handfuls Of
tacks instead Then he ran out.
"The wheat field was black and white,
like checker board, with pies. The
farmer gave loud yell and the birds
