Cutting SiIo Corn.

IL Is Of primary Importance to know
at what stage corn should be cut to Sc
cure the best results. 1t Is also neces-
Safy, 1t Is pointed out in Farming, that
careful study be made as to how rap
uiy nutrlment is stored up in the corn
pant and when the maximum amount
reached. When corn Is fully tasseled
contains but elght-tenths OF a ton Of
ury matter an acre, or one-ffth OF what
contains when fully ripe. When In
MIX 1t contains nearly three times as
much dry matter as when fully tas-
Seled Only seventeen days were oc-
cupied in passing from the milk to
Tue glazing stage, yet in this time there
was an Increase In the dry matter of
Id tons an acre. This shows the great
advantage OF letting the corn stand
Nntii the kernels are glazed. After this
period the Increase In dry matter is but
slight.

The proper time in which to select
seeds is late In the fall or winter The
reason for requiring this portion of I'll
year for so doing is because there is
then no hurry, and the work can be
done better. The common practice OF
laying the seed corn aside to remain
until spring has done great damage to
the corn crop, as very often the ex-
cess of imperfect grains Is such as to
cause failure Of termination over the
whole field Every ear of corn should
be examined and the inferior grain
shelled off. Vegetable seeds also re
quire examination, for insects, damp
ness and other causes interfere with
their safe-keeping. or course, every
farmer Is supposed to be careful with
his seeds, but very few farmers know
the condition OF their seeds until the
time comes when they are required for
planting, and then the farmers are
too much hurried to do anything with
them.

IL Is a fact to be gratifed about that
cocoa and chocolate are conducive to
health, because they are so delicious
that their lovers and users are grow
ing In number so rapidly as to require
almost a daily revision OF statistics.
says Cent Per Cent. II there were any
hurtful tendency accompanying their
use the country would be facing con-
ultion battling all remedies, for the de
lights Of cocoa and Of chocolate using
give them a hold upon appetite that It
Is next to Impossible to break. 1t does
not seem long time since Rutherford
Is. Hayes was president, and yet with
IN that short range of time, the use Of
cocoa In one form or another has In
creased In the United States 1000 per
cent and the consumption Of cocoa and
chocolate by Americans has more than
doubled In five years.
Not alone, however, is the attention
challenged by the enormous Increase
IN the use Of cocoa, but an even moro
remarkable fact IS brought to light by
authorities on the subject We refer to
the fact that study Of the statistics
gathered by Higgins & Lee, less than
eight years ago the United States held
only fifth place as manufacturer of CO
Goa and chocolate, England, Germany
Holland and France taking precedence
in about the order named. Today we
mold first place, both as manufacturers
and consumers Of cocoa and chocolate
by a comfortable margin, and are In.
creasing our lead so rapidly that It Is
with the utmost difficulty that the
American manufacturers are able to
meet the demands upon them. In 1905
the United States t6rsumed nearly
100000 bags OF cocoa, or about one
third Of the worlds entire crop. Even
at this rate Of growth the industry
would be destined to become a COM
handing figure In the commercial
world, but the consumption Of cocoa
Is enlarging with the population, and
at an Increasing ratio; that is. more
people are using It, and present users
are consuming larger quantities.

The full benefits of farm machinery
are not realized because the average
farmer has not the mechanical training
or the requisite skill to get the best re-
suits out OF these complex implements.
We are the greatest makers and users
Of farm machinery in the world, and
1t Is owing TO this fact more than any
other single cause that we have been
able to maintain our agricultural su-
premacy In the markets OF the world
The cost OF this machinery to the farm
ers is greater today, than ever before
The character Of this machinery every
year becomes more complicated, requir-
Ing Increased knowledge OF engineer
ing principles on the part Of users
The traction engine, the steam pillow,
the combined harvester and thresner
operated by steam power, the automo-
bile. the growing use of electricity as a
motive power on the farm, the maehin-
cry now required In dairies, in the
growing Of sugar beetS and manufac-
ture of beet sugar, are all Illustrations
Of the momentous changes in the char
acter OF farm machines which have
taken place in the last fifty years. The
increase in skill and mechanical knowl-
edge required by farmers to operate
these complex and costly machines com
pared to what was needed to operate
the primitive tools of half a century
ago cannot be given in percentages

been forwarding only a very small percent

As consequence the bureau of the

large circulation among rural letter car
riers advising those who have not been an,e
to get satchels by requisition to write to
their representatives and state their

have been deluged with letters from rural
carriers urging them to have the satchels
furnished. and the representatives have
been calling on Fourth Assistant DeGraw In
large numbers.
As the department has not the satchels to
furnish. this method has not been any more
successful than the regular one of making
acquisitions

the satchels coming in under the regular
