Nor. Corn Per Acre.

A few years ago we heard good
deal about increasing the protein con-
tent of corn, SO that 1t. might be in
itself a better balanced feed for live
stock. Now comparatively little is said
about this The cloyers including al
falfa, other legumes such as soy beans
and cow peas, and concentrated feeds
are and will probably continue our
main sources Of protein. The farmers
as well as the corn inprovers of this
country hare realized that the greatest
work to be done with corn. the most
important and proftabIe improvement
to be made In 1t now, Is to increase
the yield per acre. Considered in its
entirety this is mighty problem, in
yolvfng the seed, the cultivation, the
Improvement of the soil and the many
and vital questions that arise in each
of these three main divisions. With
all these things under consideration it
is not surprising that little attention
has been paid to protein content. The
people of this country feel that they
can get along without more protein II
they can get more good corn and no
doubt they are correct in this view
When an increase of five bushels per
acre means an addition of 475,000,CG0
bushels to our crop, we see something
of possibilities of a general movement
for corn improvement. Professor
Christie Of Indiana showed in a local

And he showed one farmer then and
there how he had failed to harvest $l9,->
900 worth Of corn simply because he
had for years raised the wrong varie-
ty for his section. An extreme case.
no doubt, but such are the possibiIi-
ties to the individual, in the corn prob
lem, and yet this matter of variety is
only one phase of the great problem
that is and should have first place with
american corn producers. The work
Of growing more corn 10 the acre has
barely begun. We know that certain
men have been credited with increas-
Ing the average yield of their state
several bushels per acre; but their |
work has not yet progressed far
enough to affect averages materially.
They were given this big credit in

CARE or THE HARNESS

The harness should receive the
best of care. Wash with CASTLE soap
and hang up to dry. Before en-
tirely dry, take tub and fill In sew
eral inches OF machine oil and dip all
parts Of the harness. SO as to cover
we'll with oil, giving the leather time
to get saturated. Then hang tina
pieces over the tub to drip. Finally
rub all parts with flannel cloth.

A hog fattens more quickly by being
fed no more at any time than 1t will

you are sure that it is hungry. 1t will
lose less in weight to permit 1t to go
without food day than It would by
continuing to feed 1t beyond Its ap-:

reasons that by selecting animals
