of a number of grasses. OF these the
most important by far is the clover
timothy mixture, and against this it
has ever been argued that the clover
natures so much in advance of the
timothy that the feeding value of either
the one or the other is sacrificed on
account of the time of harvesting.
In the course of an extensive expert
ment with clover seeds from different
sources there appeared variety hither-
to not used in the United States, pos
sessing certain advantageous qualities
which make it desirable to introduce it
into American farming.
The seed of this variety was secured
from the SLACK earth" region in the
eastern part of the Orel government Of
Russia. The soil and climate of this
section resemble strilSingly those of
our own northwestern prairie country,
particularly Nebraska, Minnesota and
the Dakotas.
This variety is distinguished by the
dustlessness of its hay. due to almost
complete absence of hairiness from all
parts of the plant. by its heavy yields
for the first crop, by its leafiness and
the persistence of the basal leaves, by
the succulence of the stems, which inn
proves greatly the quality of the hay
and reduces the waste due to woody,

bility than hay from domestic seed

CORN TALK.
A study OF Important Points In the
Judging of Corn.


Judging of Corn.
There appear to be some vital points
both us to desirable qualities and lie
feets in picking out good ear of corn.
Professor Il. NJ. shoesmith of the state
college has prepared for the Kansas
boys who engage in corn contests a lit
tie study of corn which furnishes an
elementary guide in corn judging and
includes among its twenty seven prac-
tical questions and answers the ones
here reproduced
First. Why should corn be studied
as to trueness to type or breed?
So that a better idea may be had as
to the certainty with which the char
acters win be transmitted Corn pos
sessed of desirable characters, but
little breed type, is Of little value,
since these characters may be substi-
tuted the following season by latent
or hidden characters of little value.
Hardness. productiveness and other
invisible characters may be as distinc-
tive breed characteristics as the color,
shape OF ears, ETC., and these must be
judged by the type as seen in the Wis
| ible characters.
Second. How may the trueness to
type best be judged?
/ BY studying the uniformity of the
ears in shape, size, straightness of the
rows, color, etc, and also by study
ing the uniformity of the kernels in
size. shape, color and indentation. The
| uniformity of ears is studied by com.
pairing with the standard of perfec-
/ ton" but as it is difficult to sufficient
/ " define the standard Of perfection for
the kernels heading Uniformity of
Kernels is placed on the score card.
Third. Why should an ear of corn
be cylindrical or nearly so?
Because this is the only shape which
| will permit of the same number of
rows throughout the length of the ear
and also the same size and shape of
kernels in all parts of the ear. In a
tapering ear there must be some short
rows or the kernels must be larger or
/ have more space between them at butt
| than at tip of ear. In such an ear or
one of irregular shape some of the
| kernels must be of irregular size or
shape, which will not permit of an
even distribution by the planter.
| Fourth. What is the proper ratio be-
tween the length and the circumfer-
ence of an ear of corn?
Although there is not much expert
mental data to show that an ear of
\ corn should be of exact proportions,
most corn breeders agree that the ratio
between length and circumference
should be about as 10 is to z. It
appears that ears which are long and
slender are often associated with plants
which are not possessed of the great
est vigor and hardness. and also such
ears have a relatively small percentage
| of grain, while ears which are large in
/ circumference and short are usually
/ late in maturing and also often have a
small per cent of grain because of an
extremely large cob.

TIC Irish Gambler.

While not a recent introduction, hav-
ing been grown for many years in Con
necticut and Long Island, the Irish
Cobbler potato has only lately attract
ed the general attention of eastern
growers as a profitable early market
variety. 1t is not of first quality-infe.
rior even to Early Ohio-but is such a
fine grower and reliable cropper under
ordinary trucking conditions that it has
literally forced itself on the attention
OF market gardeners. It's origin ap,
pears to be something of a mystery.
Seedsmen and dealers disclaim knowi.
edge as to when or where it first go3
into cultivation, but have generally
been compelled to catalogue it. Seed
stock has not always been easy to OBJ
tain, but viii be freely offered the com,
ing year. The plant is strong and up.
right in growth, with thick and healthy
dark green foliage The potatoes i'll
good soil run from medium to large,
oblong in shape. with thin white skin
and rather prominent eyes. They grow
rapidly and usually reach marketable
size within a week of Early Ohio plant,
ed at the same time, but far outyield
that formerly popular kind. The table
quality of the young tubers is very toll
cradle, but falls off as maturity is
reached. Notwithstanding its rather
unsatisfactory cooking quality Irish
Cobbler has turned out so profitable
that it is displacing other early kinds
in many localities.-Rural New Yorker.
