IOWA BRE AXIS RECORD
FOR CORN.
Crop Of 4oO,OOO,Ooo Bushels
Due to Scientific Planting.

lowa's magnificent 400, 900, 900
bushel corn crop is out of danger
Of frost This production breaks
all corn crop records, and, though
Illinois has held the record since
1901, the honor of giving the
world the laIgett amount of corn
has again fallen to Iowa, with the
added glory of being the largest
crop and the largest average to
the acre the world ever has known.
That Iowa should produce this
immense crop of corn is not due
so mich to increased acreage as to
more careful preparation for plant
ing, according to authorities at
the Agricultural College. Prof.
p. G. Holden, of Ames College,
is responsible in great measure
for the increase, for while the
acreage has been increased less
than eight per cent. the crop has
been increased almost 20 per cent.
Professor Holden was the origi
natOr of the "seed corn gospel
train.' He insisted on the farm
ers and grain growers testing
their seed corn and securing bet
ter stands, and promised the yield
would be increased 10 per cent.
this year if the farmers would
spend few winter evenings test
ing seed corn. He has not only
made good" but Iowa's great
harvest shows that the corn crop
of the seven great corn States
could be increased half a billion
bushels if the farmers tested their
seed.

Marketing the Annie.

A common practice with some of
our apple growers is to hold the fruit
In the orchard until a carload is
ready for shipment, or the entire
crop of fall and winter fruit may be
picked before the packing is begun.
Under these conditions the crop
ripens rapidly and the apples enter
the storage houses in all stages of
maturity. These naturally break
down at various times in the season.
On the other hand, if the grower
sells at harvest time, he is obliged
to accept the price fixed by the tenn
porary condition of the trade. From
the business standpoint it may not
be advisable for the smaller owners
70 make an attempt to store and sell
as they may later in the season, but
those having any quantity who hold
the fruit in prime condition can dur
ing the warm fall weather, sell more
advantageously later in the season
either to buyer or on the market.

Mobile Storm Stricken.

The storm that struck Mobile,
Ala, last week, did most tremen-
dOus damage, not figured out at
the time.
Estimated damages at Mobile,
Pensacola, Florida, and New Or
leans, and other towns in the
path of the storm, amount to
over $40, 100000.
The cotton crop is reported
badly damaged, timber badly
damaged and planters will suffer
severely.
In Mobile the loss of life was
estimated at from to so, with
grave apprehensions for the safety
of residents of nearby places and
crews of vessels.
The business section was dew
astated and 5000 houses dam
aged. The sea stood seven feet
in the wholesale quarter.
Suffering is very severe, and
and it is feared that the lack of
food may soon cause great dis
treSs.
Many steamers and smaller
craft have been sunk and wharves
and docks are wrecked.
Martial law prevails.
Among the residents of Mobile
are Mr.. and Mrs. Horace w.
Clarke, formerly of this city.

Corn and Cob Meal for Cows.

A dairyman who has long fed corn
and cob meal to his cows, says that
he has found it one of his best feeds,
but 1t is better for them to add
ground oats also. This feed, he says,
with corn silage and some clover
hay, keeps the flow of milk and its
fat to the standard of summer blue
grass pasture. He urges his neigh
bors to try his plan, and says his
feed mill is one of his best invest
ments, thinking that grinding the
ear corn, cob and all, adds much to

rotary Shaw to deposit S26, >

Advice About Horses.

We reproduce the following ten
points of advice about horses by En-
peror William, of Germany, VINO
is made of the same clay as other
people and entitled to as much cred
it as experience may accord him.
The advice, for the most part, often
repeated in the Farmer, is given
again for what it is worth, and some
of 1t is very good:
1. Do not expose your horses to
draughts in or out of the stable.
2. Do not allow any broken win
dows in your stable. At the same
time see that it is properly ven
tilated.
8. Do not keep your horses too
warm. Never cover them with blan-
kets in the stable.
4. Exercise your horses daily, as
the best preventive against disease.
8. Don't feed wet fodder, but give
dry fodder and fresh water In win
ter let the water stand awhile after
taking it from the we'll or faucet.
6. Prevent ammonia gases, which
are bad for the eyes and the liga-
ments.
Z. Every fourth or sixth week re-
move the shoes and have the hoofs
attended to. After that the shoes
may be nailed on again.
s. When the roads are covered
with ice use spiked shoes.
8. Do not put an ice cold bit into
a horses mouth in winter unless you
want him to have toothache and be-
come i'll.
10. Be as careful of your horses
skin as of your own.

What it Costs to Board a Hen.

! From experiments made at the
Utah Agricultural Experiment Sta
ton it is found that the average hen
consumes about eighty-two pounds
of grain and meal in year, and re-
quires six pounds of oyster shell or
its equivalent for the egg shells. The
grain food costs about a cent
pound and with the meat or protein
food the total cost of food she re-
quires is about $1.00 a year. From
this she ought to produce $50 eggs,
valued at, say So. The hen pays lou

Value Of High Pastures.

Flies are more numerous and ag-
gressive on marsh lands than on
high pastures and the general condi-
lions of rapid development of young
stock are unfavorable on low pas
lures. Unless the foals are fed daily
rations of grain when restricted to
wet pasture lands they will make in
different quarters in poor condition.
