A rented farm where both owner and

made to the soil to insure larger and
better yields with each succeeding
year should attract more than passing

The material in the silo should be
kept level and well trampled, especial

pays to have sufficient help for this

AT slL0 TIME.
Corn Should Not Be Too Green-cut-
ting and Putting It Up.

Many people make the mistake OF
cutting corn too green for silage. At
this stage there is larger percentage
of water, and the silage when taken
out has q large amount of acid, less
starch and sugar and hence is less nu-
tritious. Corn planted in drills with
stalks eight to ten inches apart will
mature a good proportion of ears.
Harvesting should not begin until
Ehe ears are passing the roasting stage
and begin to glaze. Unless the season
Is exceptionally drysfhe stalks and
leaves will remain green, but too ma
ture or dry corn is more liable to mold.
This may be found in spots around the
sides or more generally over the silo
wherever the air has gained access to
cause the fungous growth. This condi-
ton may be improved by tramping the
material carefully In the silo, adding
water by sprinkling with a hose, or If
this is not available direct a stream of
water into the blower or elevator suf-
ficient to saturate the cut fodder. This
moisture assists the material to settle
and acts as seal to keep out the air.
There should be labor and teams
enough to keep the cutter running
steadily. Nothing is gained by cutting
large amount of corn beforehand,
hauling and piling near the machine
to be handled over again. Aim to har-
vest at the least expense ton. This
viii be accomplished as follows: If
hand cutting is practiced, cut and hand
directly to the man loading, not throw
ing on the ground in bundles, which
will require an extra handling. Let
each load come to the table of the ma
chine in turn, handing the corn direct
~ to the feeder If the corn is long
and heavy an extra man is needed on
the table to assist
Power should be ample and in pro-
portion to the size of the cutter. The
blower is replacing the elevator ma
chine, economizing space and largely
doing away with the stopping Of an
entire crew to repair the elevator. If
the corn is heavy and the stalk large

The Popular cantaIoupe.

Scarcely any branch of horticultural
work has increased of late years like
the growing of cantaloupes. All mar
kets handle them and are glad to ex-
tend their season by getting early and
late supplies from all sections Of the
country Many varieties of melons

our markets, but present requirements
have banished almost all but the Net
ted Gem, or, as it is popularity known
today, the Rocky Ford. This eanta-
loupe, besides possessing the finest tex
ture and highest favor, is almost round
and is thus easily packed. Recent seed
selection in this strain has produced

Care Of Blackherries.

Blaekberries, like dewberries and
raspberries, bear but one crop on the
cane that is, canes which spring up
this year bear next year. From three
to six canes are sufficient to be left in
each hill. The superfuous ones should
be thinned out as soon as they start
from the ground. The old canes should
be cut off soon after fruiting and burn
ed. The new shoots should be pinched

UTILIZING skim Milk.

There are many fruit farms on
which the flock of fowls is becoming
every year large factor. The by
products of these are utilized to some
extent for the poultry, but not 50
much as the byproducts of the dairy
farm. There is no better way of util-
izing skim milk than by feeding to
poultry, suggests Kansas Farmer.
When this skim milk is allowed to
sour and is made into curd for the
fowls it is still more extensively
available. There is no byproduct that
need go to waste when you have plen-
ty of chickens around. They are the
scavengers of the farm and make lots

Points of Success In Florists Methods
of Culture.
It is of Importance to stake chrysan-
themums properly, TO let air and sun
between the rows, for only then will
a plant retain its lower leaves, and
this is of importance to single stem
cllrysanthemums. As long as the
leaves are on the stem the wood will
be soft, condition wanted for single
stem flowers The plant will make bet
ter growth, the stems will send nour-
ishment to the top of the plant more
freely, and when cut the flowers will
last longer when once saturated with
water than on hard, woody stems.
Plants which have been neglected will
soop lose their lower leaves, and the
stems win become hard, and while
bare stems on standards or large bush
plants grown in pots are unavoidable,
it should not happen with single stem
plants.
Supporting the Plants.
There are different methods of sup
porting the plants Thin cane or BAN
boo stakes, supported thirty inches
above the bench by wires running
above the rows, lengthways Of the
bench, form good way. This can be
improved in neatness by using. heavy
wire stakes, such as are used in rose
houses. AS soon as the plants are es-
tablished, stalking is in order, for it
takes just half the time to do this
work then than when the plants are
lying all over the bench. not to say
anything of the harm that is done.
Lightly cultivating the soil between
the plants will help to keep the soil
sweet and prevent weeds. If they are
making a good growth, a light mulch

Fertilizing and Watering.
The small grower who has had no
experience with phosphates and soda
is far better off in using stable manure
for fertilizing 1t is the safest in the
end. To mulch plants that are not
thriving is always wrong. Only
healthy, vigorous plants are benefited

Work and Wages.
Five men are employed the year
round Four of them milk from ten
to fifteen cows each. Two Of the
mixers drive the delivery wagons on
the city milk route and take care of
the cans and milking utensils. One
attends to feeding the stock and to the
chores about the barns. The fourth
while not milking is engaged at labor
in the fields. One man devotes his
eutire time to general work in the
fields. A few day hands are hired
during busy times. such as the haying
and silo filing seasons.
The milking takes about two hours
twice day 1t is the first work done
in the morning, commencing at 4:30,
and is finished In the evening at 6
o'clock. 1t takes the two men who
drive the milk wagons about five hours
to deliver the milk and one hour to
take care of the wagons and cans.
TIE farm men work about nine hours
in the field.
The two men who drive the milk
wagons receive S25 a month. The
barn man gets Sc a week. One farm
hand is paid S23 a month; the other,

Popular Judgment.

Governor Hughes in his recent speech
at Buffalo made a statement which is
worthy of note. whether you have
confidence or not in popular judgment"
he said, "let me assure you that in this
country it is idle to inveigh against it. ="
He further adds "Let these questions be
upon your conscience and upon your
heart, but not upon your nerves." The
Governor is quite right. We have got to
put up with things as they are but at the
same time we must do all we can to see
that things are done as they should be.
Popular judgment may be and often is
wrong, but in the long run verything
will come out right. Governor Hughes
is also right when he says: THE prevail
ing sentiment in this country is whole
some and just; it is idealistic; it rejoices
in the extension of commerce and the
development of industry; it takes pride
in the ability that invents, in the talent
that can organize effort and make CO.
operation productive; it honors honest
toll of hand or brain; it prizes sagacity
and thrift; it extols prudence; it rever-
ences achievement. But it also demands
honesty. 1t also exacts fidelity, both to
private and public obligation. 1t be-
lieyes in freedom of opportunity, not
that a few may exploit the many, but
that each, working according to his
talent, may receive just return and that
the rights of all in their community re-
lations shall be paramount to the selfish
interests of any one. boston Banker
