Growing Fodder Corn.


l will give to the readers of the
Farmer my experience in growing fod-
der corn. This corn is the last 1
plow for and the last corn of the sea-
son l plant. | like the common field
corn best for this purpose 1t don't
grow so tall and unmanageable as the
kind used for fodder purposes. | first
drag the ground we'll after blowing. IT
there is wild oats in the field it would
be we'll to disk and then drag. After
this I take my shoe drill, which has
sixteen shoes, and over each shoe l
make a temporary cardboard hopper
in the drill hopper, which makes four
separate hoppers. one at each end OF
the drill and two at the middle. an
equal distance apart Now the four
shoes which | am using / set so as to
run about an inch deeper than the
ones l am not seeding with, altho l
keep them working just the same. Put
the seed corn in the four cardboard
hoppers, open the feeder so as to drop
corn about two inches or an inch and
one-half apart, the closer the seed he
finer the fodder. Make tracer the
same as for a horse corn planter. Use
a heavy log chain on every other shoe.
This does good work in covering the
seed. When blowing the corn straddle
only every other row. This is a very
quick method of planting. as the rows
are about twenty-four inches apart.
Once driving the cultivator gang be-
tween each row does the work. You
can cut this corn with either the Deer
ing or Mccormick binder. By plant
ing this way you can raise one-t third
more fodder and the corn grows so fine
that it is greatly relished by the stock.
If there should be any signs of waste
toward spring sprinkle little salt on
fodder after placing in feeding man
ger. I have used this way of planting
for three years and find it good way
of saving land, as it gives so much
fodder to the acre. About five acres OF
normal stand will keep ten cows over
winter. In harvesting this corn l do
not shock it the same day as it Is cut.
I leave it to dry about four or five
DAVIS. Shock this fodder corn so that
each shock has about twenty or thirty
bundles. If they are placed up good
and tight the wind will not blow them
down. | never use any Irvine around
the tops. f. p. DANlELSoN.

PLANTING Time.

Every year about this time we begin
to hear reports of the progress of
planting time in various portions OF
tho state. Judging from daily press
reports there is a standing reward OF
merit passed out to the locality that
can first spring the story of planting
time. These stories start about the
first of March and usually while the
snow is still on the ground. Enter
prise in all things is commendable but
there is such thing as showing too
much enterprise in putting grain into
the ground before conditions are right
The success of the crop depends not
so much on how soon the grain is put
into the ground as how we'll 1T is put
in and how good condition the ground
is in. Nature usually allows us fair
growing season, as was the case last
year, and if we take the trouble to get
the ground into first class condition
and a little extra time to get the seed
into good condition, we usually have
the laugh on the man who breaks the
record by getting his planting done
first, for in many cases he might Just
as well throw the seed away. The
best rule to follow lis to get the seed
into the ground at the first possible
moment after the ground Is in good
shape and the weather is ripe. This
will keep any ordinary man busy
enough without trying to break any
records.

TREAT YOUR STOMACH
WITH KINDNESS

Harsh measures are not needed to
cure stomach troubles. Even laxatives
and dyspepsia medicine are survivals OF
a past age, when drastic, rigorous dis
cipline of the stomach was considered
necessary. Today we accomplish far
better results by treating the stomach
kindly. Many people still resort to
old-fashioned, cruel remedies because
they do not know what splendid cures
are effected in the case of painful and
long standing stomach suffering with
the latest and best treatment, origin
ated by the Cooper Pharmacal Company
Of Chicago, and known to all druggists
as the Prosene Combination Treatment.
1t consists Of just three ingredients,
which can be purchased at Bell & Rob-
inson's for very trifling cost. Here
is the prescription for the druggist to
make up the medicine by: Prosene
Compound, one ounce; Compound Tine
ture OF Cinchona, one ounce; Sherry
Wine, half pint.
WaterSbrash, sour stomach, burning
sensation, intlamed and irritated
stomach, and the more serious stomach
disorders yield nicely to this new Pro-
sene treatment. Take teaspoonful
before meals and at bedtime.
