NEW LAND.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. and sub

BY FRANKLIN WILLIAM. Jr.
The quantity Of roots remaining In
the ground after II has been cleared 10
always surprising. No matter what
clearing method has been pursued or
how carefully 1t has been done, the
pillow will discover an aggrayatingly
large number of roots. When stumps
are pulled OFT by machinery many
more roots are removed than by any
other method, but even In machinery
cleared land the ground will still be
full Of roots, mostly small, IT Is true.
In blowing new land a good, steady
span of horses is Of the first !mpor-
lance. Horses that are fast or frac-
tious will not answer. They will fret
the plowman. break the plow and
bruise their shoulders. With a spir-
tied team, even though nothing Is
broken or injured, it Is hard to do
good WORK. IL the pillow is drawn rap
idly, 1t is quite impossible to guide 1t

Oxen Preferable to Horses.
For blowing new ground oxen are
preferable to horses. They are steadier
and stronger. Formerly in breaking
new land 1t was a common occur
renee to see several yoke OF lei at
tached to one strong pillow, and they
did yeOman service. Now, In this age
Of hurry and rush. the slow, plodding
OK has been forced to give way to the
faster horse, and when new ground is
to be plowed unfortunately the Ok is
seldom at hand.
There are several patterns Of plows
made especially for new ground work.
These grub plows, however, while
strong and handy, are not essential.
Any standard pillow with a good cut
ter properly and securely adjusted will
do good work.
Cut Roots That stop the Plow.
When blowing new land always have

pillow handles and cut all roots that do
not break. When the pillow becomes

root that stops the pillow will interfere
with cultivation, and the same root
unless severed will occasion this an
noyance for several successive seasons.

Turn a continuous furrow. The time
saved in %cultivating the crop, together
with the increased harvest, will more

The object In Flowing.

Were you to ask the average Amer

Of a number of grasses. or these the
most important by far Is the clover
timothy mixture. and against this 1t
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 a variety hither-
to not used In the United States, pos
sessing certain advantageous qualities
which make II desirable to introduce IL
into American farming.
The seed OF this variety was secured
from the "black earth" region In the
eastern part OF the Orel government of
Russia. The soil and climate of this
section resemble strikingly those OF
mi own northwestern prairie country,
particularly Nebraska, Minnesota and
the Dakotas.
This variety 10 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 leafness and
the persistence Of the basal leaves, by
the succulence OF the stems, which I'm
proves greatly the quality of the hay
and reduces the waste due to woody,
uneatable portions, by greater palata-
bility than hay from domestic seed
and by the fact that II comes to proper
maturity for harvesting from ten days
to two weeks later than the ordinary
American red clover.
Except In certain sections and for
certain purposes this variety Is not
recommended for supplanting domestic
red clover, but rather FOR supplement
ing the latter.

be readily distinguished from the

larry on soils naturally or artiicially

PROFITABLE FARMING
Every GenerAl Farmer should Raise
Well Bred stock.

Well Bred stock.
Sufficient live stock should be kept
on every farm to consume the rough
age and some of the grain produced OF
the farm. This is not only necessary
In order to maintain the fertility Of the
soil, but 1t Is necessary In order that
farming may be pro1tably carried on.
A general farmer should raise well
bred stock, but not necessarily pure
bred. In fact, he can hardly afford
to raise pure bred cattle, sheep and
hogs for the block or pure bred horses
to work In the field at the present
market value of pure bred animals.
True, If the plan Of breeding only
from pure bred sires Is practlced long
the animals on the farm become prac-
tically pure bred, and it should be the
aim Of every stock raiser to ultimately
secure such a herd or flock.
1t pays to give the best Of care to
well bred stock. The scrub Is usually
kept at a loss anyway, and 1t may not
make so much difference financially
what care the scrub receives, but with
money invested In well bred stock,
which Is capable of returning a good
interest on the Investment with proper
feed and handling, neglect becomes
costly, says Professor Ten Eyck in

CORN TALK.


Jwox1n8 OF corn.
There appear 10 he some vital points
both sS to desirable qualities and de-
fects In picking on. a good ear OF corn.
Professor V. NJ. Shoesmith OF the state
college has prepared For the Kansas
boys who engage In corn contests a lit
tlr study OF corn which furnishes an
includes among It's twenty-seven prac-
tical questions and answers the ones
here reproduced:
first.-Why should corn be studied
ss to traaHcss 20 type o. breedi
So that a better idea may be had as
acters will be transmitted. Corn pos
sessed Of desirable characters, but
little breed type, IL of little value,
since these characters may be substi-
tuted the following season by latent
or hidden characters Of little value.
Hardness, productiveness aud other
Invisible characters may be as distinc-
tive breed characteristics as the color.
shape of ears, etc, and these must b.
Judged 10y the type as seer in the Wis
lble characters.
Second.-How may the trueness TO
type best be judgedf
BY studying the uniformity of the
ears In shape, size, s~traightness 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-
tion,' but as II Is difficult to sufficient
ly define the standard of perfection for
the kernels a heading Uniformity of
Kernels" Is placed on the score card.
Thlrd.-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
n 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-
nee 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. 1t
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.
