Importance to the Farmer Of Care In
Selection Of Seed Corn.

Prof. P. G. Holden in his A B G Of
Corn Culture says that while the aver
age yield Of corn in the United States
Is less than rs bushels per acre, yet
there are hund&eds and thousands Of
farmers who prAduce 60 and 70, and
even SO and 80 bushels per acre. II
have in mind" he says, scores Of in
stances where Of two fields just across
the road from each other, or perhaps
adjoining, but on different farms, one
yielded more than 40 bushels and the
other less than 20, yet the land values
were the same and the labor required
to produce the 20-bushel crop as great
as to produce the 70-bushel crop. II
one man can produce so and 70 bush
els per acre, the other man can do 1t
also, and not only that, but must do 1t
II we are to achieve our agricultural
possibilities"
Test your corn carefully, and If 1t
Is found defective send away at once
Tor a supply, but test that also.

sAANs Thai ARE HANDY.
Edgar l.. Vincent Suggests That I'm
proVements Can Be Made.

MY! That's hard work, Why do
folks have such awfully hard barns to
get around in?"
Well, sir, that vas a fair question,
and | wish | might have answered my
boy; but | couldn't, just because | don't
know myself why it Is that SO many
barns about the country are terribly
hard to work in.
Take the n we were in at that mo-
ment for example. There was no lad
der in the whole building. When you
wanted to go up overhead you just
had to shin up a post or swing your
self from n beam and get to another.
1t takes a better athlete than l am to
do that right along and stand it. Think
of the waste of strength! And then,
there was no way to get down from
the big barn floor to the basement.
You had to travel away round out of
doors, no matter what the weather
might be. All because there were no
stairs.
Now, when we built our barn we
made plans for plenty of good stairs.
One pair leads from the first floor
down to the basement. We are
compelled to go out of doors to get
from one floor to the other. Another
pair of stairs leads up to the hay loft.
No steep, hard stairs are they either,
but good easy ones, that anybody can
get up comfortably.
And then, the barn my boy and 1
were in that day had the worst scat
folds you most ever saw. They were
made of the slabs Of logs, laid with
the rounding side up. You can i'm
agine how slippery such a scaffold
would get to be in the curse of time.
was worth to try to skate around on
those t%reacherous slabs. My life was
not insured, so l did not try 1t.
If any part of a barn ought to be
secured against accidents it should
be the scaffolds. They are high. A
fall from them might mean death, or
at least lifelong injury and suffering.
The boards ought to be carefully laid
down and strong enough so that there
would be no danger of breaking.
Another point often overlooked in
the construction of barns is convent
nce in foddering. l have been in
barns where every spear of hay had
to be dragged two or three rods over
the floor before it could be put through
the shute to the cattle. And one barn
| know Of is so made that the farmer
must haul the hay as much as rs feet
to get 1t to the stock! A terrible
waste Of time and strength. What
wonder that farmers YEA themselves
out long before their time.
By a little foresight the shutes may
be put in so that one may stand on
the NOW and send the hay right down
to the feeding floor. The sides of the
shute may be so built that they may
be taken off as the NOW goes down
to avoid lifting the hay high in the
air.
Barns ought to be handy to the
house, too. Sometimes we see them To-
Gated a quarter of a mile away. What
an amount of travel n must go
through in the course of a lifetime on
farms like that!
The first thing to be done, as ]
look at 1t, continues Mr.. Vincent in
Farmers Voice, is to sit down and
make a good plain diagram of the
barn. Anyone can do that if he ever
has had a bit Of experience in doing
work at a barn. A little time at this
point will save years Of hard and alto
gether unnecessary labor.

NOTES..

The feed problem is getting
harder.
The finer the soil is pulverized the
better it will retain moisture, which
is one of the necessary elements in
the garden.
The soil should be a mellow loan
and in the best possible filth, well
fitted with humus obtained by annu-
ally blowing under well rotten manure
For some Of the garden crops this
may be supplemented by the addition
Of some Of the commercial fertilizers.
Peruvian guano is one of the cheap
est and most satisfactory concentrated
fertilizers to use in the garden.

Keep Corn Dry.

Experiments have shown that corr
which is thoroughly dry will not be
injured by any degree Of cold. This,
while interesting, is not as comfort
ing as 1t would appear to be, for the
reason that some confusion may re-
suit in deciding when corn is thor
oughly dry; and urther, corn once
dry does not sssarily mean al
ways dry. II left subject to a moist
ure-laden atmosphere 1t will very
likely take up enough moisture to
render 1t liable to injury from severe
freezing,

Using Commercial FERTILIZERS.

The pure nitrate of soda, muriate
Of potash, super-phosphate or ground
bone, can be used in the garden, but
unless a person has had experience
or handles these very carefully, re-
suits are apt to be disappointing or
disastrous. Plants of which the leaf
or stalk are the edible portions must
have plenty Of nitrogen, which is
available in the guano and animal ma.
nure. When the roots or fruits are to
be eaten, phosphoric acid should be
added in the shape Of wood ashes or
super phosphate. Ground bone is too
slow in becoming available.

In Mitchell they have a new way
of handling the tramp question. The
Republican Of that city says: "The
tramp season has started in a little
ahead of the harvest season this year
and every night the policemen have
the usual roundup Of men who come
in on the late trains in the evening.
The men are being considered upon a
different basis than they were last year
and when a bunch is corraled they
are taken to the Jail and kept over
night. In the morning they are hauled
before Justice Markham and he gives
them eight days in Jail with the added
punishment of having to work on the
streets for that length of time. Yes
terday a bunch of men were given a
dose of this medicine and they do not
like it a little bit. 1t is the easiest
solution of handling the tramp prob
tim that the city can adopt and if it
is vigorously carried out there will
be less tramps in Mitchell this sum
mer than in a good many previous
years"
