SAYS RAPE is GOOD FOR
SHEEP

n APE is a luxuriant plant and requires
K rich soil for its best growth. 1t will
thrive upon clayey soils, too; and does
better than mangels or turnips Light soils
are not rich enough for it and the crop
is usually light when an attempt is made
to grow it on such soils.
Newly cleared land and old pastures,
plowed in the fall and worked early in the
spring by cross disking and pulverzing, are
especially adapted for producing success
full crop.
There are several varieties of rape, some
of which are grown for fodder and others
for seed. The seed varieties are ANNALS
and are worthless for fodder. The one
variety that is to be recommended in this
country for fodder is the Dwarf Essex, a
biennial. which seems to show, a. great
adaptability to different soils and climatic
conditions and to yield a wonderful crop
of luxuriant leaves, valuable for use as a
fodder.
The poorest rape grown at the Minnesota
station on seven tenths of an acre of ground
maintained sixteen lambs for twenty-five
days. In another season one-half acre was
eaten by twenty-one wethers in ten weeks
with an additional one pound of grain per
head daily.
An estimate has been made that one acre
of rape with grain will fatten 20 wethers

in two months. Ten hogs will eat about
one-third of an acre in two months Inc
heaviest yield of rape cut from given area
was secured when the crop was cut three
times in succession about four inches from
the ground. The yield was at the rate OF
thirty-six tons per acre.
Tn sowing the rape crop the ground
should be well pulverized and in suitable
condition for the termination OF the small
seed. In this country fat culture is pre-
ferred to growing the crop on ridges, which
has been extensively practiced with this
cron in Europe. Sowing the crop on ridges
NAV have the advantage of giving better
drainage and this may be considered the
main object in using this culture. The
CROPS may be sown in drills 30 inches apart
or sown broadcast.
BY sowing it in drills it may be pastured
without destroying as much as stock natur-
ally would in having to trample over II
where it is sown broadcast. The amount
of seed required will vary. slightly accord
ing to the condition Of the soil and the
method of sowing it. When sowing IN
drills from two to two and one-half pounds
of seed will give the best results.
When soWn broadcast three pounds OF
seed is necessary. Large and plump seed
sown on rich soil may be sown lighter than
where the soil is not in good condltlon, ana
the seed is of poor quality.
Where too much seed is used and the
crop is sown broadcast, the plants Will often
come I'D and turn a reddish yellow and
brown which is an indication that poor
crop must necessarily follow.

WRONG WAY TO PLOW CORN

TTOW have you been blowing your corn !?
II Throwing the dirt away from the
roots at the last blowing? Better
change your method and stop cutting off
the roots.
Maryland farmer says that blowing
corn, throwing the dirt away from the roots
is nothing short of plant murder. And he
is right. In Illinois, and in fact in all the
corn states, it was the general practice
twenty years ago to plow corn the last
time very deep, thus cutting off the roots
and Gripping the plant. Many farmers still
continue this practice although it has long
been abandoned by all good farmers.
good farmer in the South says be mas
taken out corn 20 days after planting that
was IA inches high with roots 80 inches
long. No implement other than the i'm
proved quadruple cultivator weeder was
used on this ground from the time the corn
was put in until it was laid by.
cultivator of this kind not only destroys
weeds, but keeps the ground in most ex-
cellent condition. It does not ridge it, and
is set so it cannot injure the roots.
Many corn growers set the pillow deep and
go ripping along between the rows and the
breaking and tearing of the corn roots can
be plainly heard. Then when the corn does
not fill out and yield big crop as their
neighbors' they wonder what is the matter.

DAIRY WORK IN WINTER

Some Suggestions for Women on the Farm
Who Make Butter
c. S. Carnman, Missouri.

THE pale colored. streaked compound
sometimes specked with cheesy parti-
- cles is not very pleasing to the eye
and it's taste not very agreeable to the
ton of the odors of the kitchen and the
taste of overripe cream old milk
This is especially true if the milk is
limited in quantity and the setting in open
vessels is practiced. Where the milk from
lack of better room must be kept in the
kitchen or pantry it should be strained and
heated so hot that the hand could COM
moved to cool rapidly as possible.
This heating hastens the rising of the
cream and also makes the coming of the
butter an easy task. When perfectly cold

which odors can penetrate when cooking
is in progress, there to remain until the
cream has risen.
The bitter, old taste of butter can be
prevented by Swimming before the milk
'clabbers, using perforated SKINNER so
that all the milk may be rejected and set
moderately warm place where it may sour
or ripen quickly.
This ripening process should be fastened
by the addition of a little cream kept back
from the previous churning and much or
little-the cream should be churned twice
week at least.
There is often a temptation when the
quantity of cream is small to save it till
a fair sized churning is secured, thus avoid
ing little extra work. In doing this one
is sure to sacrifice quality in the butter.
The cheesy particles which are so objec-
tionable in butter will not be present II
there is no milk in the cream, for they are
what they look to be-particles of hardened
cheese from the sour milk The whey from

KEEP PURE WATER FOR
COWS

ROM my own tests in dairy that was
producing one hundred and sixteen gal
= Ions a day, stopping the water in the
automatic. basins by the side of the cows,
reduced the amount of production eleven
gallons day in less than one week.
This test was made on the same feed
and the cows were watered twice a day from
the yard tank.
The decrease of eleven gallons per day
of fourteen cent milk amounted to more
than forty-five dollars a month during the
winter months.
The basins at the top of the pipe are
fastened at the side of the stall or stanchion
and have covers that the cow lifts with
her nose when. drinking. The water comes
in as fast as it is taken out.
The covers keep out all dust and litter
and the pipes are securely fastened to the
bottom of the manager and are out OF the
way.
Various makes Of automatic basins are
adapted to different sizes of pipe and all
have some good points in their favor.
Any man who has noticed cow go from
a warm stable and drink a few pals of
ice water from yard tank and return to
her stall and shake for hour or more,
should be ready to introduce better plan
of watering in his stable.-J. M. Kelley.

BANKS DIRECTORS HELD LIABL E
Test Case Against Directors of the Defunct Bank of Newport
 Won by Depositors

The suit of s. Heineman and w. R. o Neal aganst the direc tors of the Bank of Newport, brought as test case by Senator James P. Clarke, to make the directors re- sponsible for the losses of the de positors, came to close in the cir cult court at Batesville Saturday when upon the conclusion of the testimony for the defence Judge F. D. Fulkerson instructed the jury to return verdict for the plaintiffs.
 The court held that the defence had failed to refute the evidence of the plaintiffs, showing that the directors had not exercised proper diligence and given proper atten- tion to their duties as directors.
 The plea of the defence was that the directors did not know of the bank insolvency when they con- tinued to keepit open for business.
 The Bank of Newport failed on April 28, 1906, the amout due de- positors and others at that time be- ing about S26O, ,000. Of this amount about S1O0,O0O was due to other banks and was protected by collat- eral. The heaviest debtor to the bank was the c. B. Kelly Lumber Company of Homan, Ark, and kindred interests of this company, their indebtedness to the bank be- ing approximately $1S0, 900.
 The chancery court of Jackson county appointed Messers. T. D. Kinman and A. Ferguson as re- ceivers of the defuct bank, and they took charge of it's affairs. Since their appointment they have paid a dividend of 20 per cent, on certain unsecured claims.
 The case will probably be appeal ed to the supreme court, and if the judgment is affirmed the directors of the bank become liable to the depositors. for the amount of their loss, which is about $150,0O0.
 The directors of the bank are A. D. Bailey, G. w. Decker, T. J. Graham, J. M. Jones, J. T. Hend erson, R. M. Johnson, J. M. Stay ton, E. P. Shoffner and T. s. StephenS.
