The installation of elevators where
such corn can be kiln dried has been
brought about by this poor manner
OF storing the corn crop. There is now
general prejudice against kiln-dried
corn resulting from the fact that kiln
drying was first employed and is at
present employed to very large ex-
tent to prevent further heating and
fermentation of corn that was not al
lowed to dry properly or was poorly
stored before being placed upon the
market. This state Of affairs, which

kept cold enough to prevent growth.
Good results may be followed by
cutting scions in the spring just be-
fore or at the time the grating is to
be done, but it is a much better plan
to cut the scions in the fall.
The stock is the tree or part OF a
tree upon which or into which the bud
or scion is inserted For best results
in grating it is essential that the
stock be in active, growing condi-
ton
When in the spring the sap begins
to move in the stock, be ready; this
occurs early in the plum and cherry,
and later in the pear and apple. Do
the grating if possible on a mild day
during showery weather. The neces-
sary tools are chisel or a thick
bladed knife or a grating iron with
which to split open the stock after
1t is sawed off smoothly with fine
tooth saw hammer or mallet to
aid the splitting process, a very sharp
knife to trim the scions. and supply
of good grating wax. Saw off a
branch at the desired point, split the
stock little way down, insert a
scion at each outer edge-taking care
that the inner bark of the scion fits
snugly and exactly against the inner
bark of the stock. This-together
with the exclusion of air and mois-
ture until union results-constitutes
the secret of success. Trim the scions
wedge-shaped, as shown in the pic
ture; insert them accurately; the
wedge should be a trifle thicker on
the side which comes in contact with
the bark. Then apply the grating wax
and the job is done.

eAcTERIoLoeY OF MILK.
q Study Of Germs II Contains Empha-
sizes Importance OF Cleanliness.

The bacterial contents OF milk is
a matter that is taking much of the
attention of scientists. Some of the
cities of the east have passed laws
that no milk shall be sold that con.
tains more than half a million bac-
teria per cubic centimeter. One is al
most staggered by the thought of
such number in as little quantity of
milk as is indicated by the cubic CEN
timeter, for that is less than cubic
inch. A centimeter is about one-thir-
ty-ninth of yard, being less than an
inch. That, cubed, gives the cubic
centimeter, which the scientists in
dicate by &c"
IL milk with 100000 bacteria In
every cubic centimeter be allowed to
be sold, how numerous must the bac-
terra be in some milk? Well, the Ok
lahoma station made meteorological
examination OF some milk that came
to the station after II was 3 $40
days old. Every cubic centimeter OF
that milk contained 462 2.6O0,O0O bac-
terra. The milk delivered in winter
when It was Ave days old contained
134 100000 bacteria.
In summer the first three days after
the milk was drawn saw a steady in
crease In the number OF bacteria, and
In winter the bacteria increased for
four days after the milk was drawn.
After that time the bacteria do.
creased, being destroyed by the
products of the GERMS themselves. In
the summer months a very large
number of the bacteria were gas-pro-
ducing.
This shows how necessary IL is to
have the milk as clean as possible.
1t must not be supposed that these
bacteria were disease germs, for such
is not the idea. Some germs are
bringers OF disease and some are not.
Some are harmless or improve the
food in which they exist. But It is
recognized that since the disease
germs are numerous at first In milk
the smaller the number of all germs
the smaller is likely to be the mum
ber of disease germs. Moreover,
even the Tactic acid ferments hasten
the souring OF the milk, and that de.
stroys 1t for some of the purposes
for which 1t is bought in cities. The
germ content Is therefore limited
by law.

THE PROPER STORAGE
OF THE CORN CROP
Building Should Facilitate Curing. Arranged
Minimize Work of Unloading and Loading
By Prof c. p Hartley.

There was a time in the history of
the corn-producing belt when rail pens
were about the only available means
of storing the corn crop. Much to the
discredit of some corn growers this
method of storing is still in vogue,
even in sections where good means of
storage could be afforded at little ex.
pense. 1t is no uncommon sight TO see
rail pen after rail pen filled with ears
of corn and without any cover, ex-
posed to all the rains and SHOWS of
winter, and these in sections of the
country that produce the most corn
and are consequently most interested

VARIATIONS in CREAM rEsrINol
Why Different Results Are Obtained
with One Mans Product.

One OF the most common causes for
dissatisfaction with selling cream IN

especially true when each can of
cream Is tested separately which 10

man who has not had much expert.

stand why his test varies when the
same separator, run by the same man,
Is used all the time and the cows
feed is not changed. but the tests do
vary and this fact does not indicate
that careless testing is being done as
1t is practically impossible to run a
separator under farm conditions with->
out having the cream vary; in fact

would be more suspicious than when
II varies slightly. The causes are:
i. Variation In speed OF separator.

a change in the speed OF running a
separator at once changes the per
cent. of hutterfat In cream. The high

of skim milk thrown out and this re-
suits In giving smaller amount Of
higher testing cream; low speed
gives larger quantity of thinner
cream.
Many separator users think they
always feed the separator at the same
rate on account of the float governing
the inflow this is not the case, as at
times the faucet is not opened quite
It's full capacity. or at one time the
milk tank Is kept full of milk, which
makes the inflow some faster than
at another time when the tank may be
allowed to run low most of the time;
whenever the flow OF milk into the
bowl is increased a larger amount OF
thinner cream results.
common cause of variation In
cream tests is connected with flush
ing the bowl. II Is very easy mat
ter to vary pint or more In the
amount of water or skim milk used
for flushing. and this alone may be
sufficient to change the test of cream

PROVIDE HOME
GROWN FEEDS
BY w. j. McSparran.

In addition to the fact that home
grown feeds, that may be made to sue
cessfully displace at least a portion
of the purchased concentrates, are
cheaper In cost than boughten ones,
we have the recommendation always
standing for them that they are nat.
ural feeds, and are, therefore, more
nearly measurable to the natural
needs OF the animal than the feeds
of commerce, that have been sub
jected to the manipulation of the vari-
Gus manufacturers, who, indeed, have
given us merely by-products of widely
variable values.
Among all our experimenters and
investigators, we have probably no
more practical one than DR.. Voorhees,
of New Jersey. He says:
Mature has provided in the whole
grain good proportions of the pure
nutrients, usually associated with the
crude fiber In such way as to make
II a difficult matter to cause injury
even from careless methods OF feed
ing, while the manufacturer, on the
other hand, removes more or less OF
one OF these nutrients, which, there.
fore, disturbs the proportions of the
constituents. and the resultant feed,
decidedly unbalanced, must be used
more carefully and with other prod
ucts. II equally good results are to be
obtained"

American Apples,

America is the greatest apple grow
er Of the world. Europe produces
many apples, and so do the other con-
tinents. Even Australia and New
Zealand are producing and exporting
apples; but in no part Of the world
have the people paid so much atten-
ton to apples as they have in the
United States. The first settlers
brought apples with them from Eu-
rope and they seem to have had a
mania for sticking down the seeds
everywhere. There is probably no
state in the union in which apples are
not raised. They do best in the cold
er parts of the country, where they are
found in greater abundance.

VALUE OF WOOD ASHES.
They Will Give Rich Returns II Ap.
piled to Fruit Trees.

Where wood is burned save the
ashes. They are too valuable to be
thrown aside with those from the
coal fires. Ashes left from burning
brush, etc. even when in small guam
tity, should also be utilized, as the
potash in them is a splendid ferti-
lizer for fruit trees. | distribute wood
ashes under peach trees during the
winter as fast as they accumulate,
sometimes spreading them on top
of snow. The result on the trees and
fruit is marked.
Wood ashes will have a tendency
to overcome, with apple trees, the
off year in bearing. When spreading
ashes remember that the roots of a
tree extend for some distance: there
fore do not put them too near the
trunk. but scatter them about at
some little distance, depending upon
the size and shape of the tree.

HOW TO GRAFT TREES.
Simple Directions Plainly Told Which
You Will Need Next Season.

A scion is a portion cut from a
plant, to be inserted upon another
(or the same) plant, with the inten-
tion that it shall grow. The wood for
scions should be taken while in a dor
mant or resting condition. The time
usually considered best is after the
leaves have fallen. but before severe
freezing begins. The scions should be
cut in about six-inch lengths from ma.
tured new wood from bearing trees
Of known variety; then tied in bunch.

tates the removal of the water by ex-
pensive means, keeps the price Of
corn lower than 1t would be If the
corn were allowed to dry in the fields
and kept dry until placed upon the
market. Grain buyers would pay a
better price If the general supply of
corn reached them in a condition that
would insure its preservation without
drying and the resulting shrinkage.
Less than four per cent. of the corn

In addition to affording thorough
ventilation to the stored grain and
protection from driving rains. the

For level ground double cribs with
an elevated driveway and approaches

PROTEIN FOR DAIRY cows.
Care Must Be Used In Feeding This
High-Pr'ced Ration.

Some recent careful investigations
have shown that smaller amounts Of
protein In dry matter can be fed to
dairy cows than is usually thought
necessary. AS the protein IL the
costly part OF the ration the use of
less Of this in the feed will reduce
the cost Of production.
A ration containing relatively moro
corn silage and less cottonseed meal
gave greater profit, because Of the
lower cost of concentrates. Much
larger profits were made from the
cows fed ration which was below
the standard in the amount of pro-
tein. In an S0-days' test as much az
ten dollars was saved, due to the
change In rations.

GET READY TO SPRAY.
Now Is the Time to Prepare for the
Fruiting Season.

Every person that has an orchard

spraying alone can the orchards be
protected from insect and fungous
pests. The men that still refuse to
credit the value of spraying have
nothing but their own observations
behind them, while in favor of spray
ing is world of experience by the
best and most successful orchardists
In the country. Can the opponents
OF spraying point to a single large
orchardist that does not spray his
trees? We believe not.
Spraying the trees protects them
and their fruit not only against many
insects, but also protects them
against a large number of fungi,
many Of them so minute that they are
not observed until they have obtained
firm hold of the trees. In case

The man that delays very long now
is not likely to do any spraying this

spray at all If he does not do 1t in
time, and frequently the time during
which the spraying should be done
to combat a certain pest is very linn
tied.
