his choice of a wide range in prac-
tical education. 1t has been asserted
In directions that brook no dispute
that there has gone out over the state,
as a result of the name by which the
Institution is known, an ERRONEOUS i'm
preston as to its real character.
Antedating all institutions Of it's
kind, the Michigan Agricultural col
lege was established by provision in
the constitution only after a fight of
a decade by the state agricultural so
ciety. Seven years later the institu-
ton was established in what is now
magnificent campus at East Lansing,
but the Oldest building for such pur-
poses in the United States. In this
connection, also. the NJ. A. G. numbers
among it's buildings the newest and
one of the most admirably adapted
agricultural buildings in the world.
This new building has just been COM
pleteu at a COSI OF $l(0,UUU.
The old building is now given over
to instruction in English, mathematics,
history and economics. Among the
other buildings are a mammoth en-
cheering building. the woman's build
ing, the armory, the dairy building
and dozen others given to teaching
the, application of science to every
day work. Chief among the departures
from the original agricultural work of
the institution are the courses in cleo
trical engineering, mechanical engi-
neering, civil engineering, military
lying thorough and systematic train
ing In either.
Enjoys Wide Reputation.
However, in its agricultural work
the Michigan Agricultural college
stands a peer of any institution of the
kind in the world. It's name and its
long career have united to give II
prestige and unimpeachable merit in
that line. In its history hundreds
Of students have gone out over the
state to spread the gospel of scien-
tifc farming, scientific dairying, bet
ter methods OF fruit raising, stock rails
ing and, last, but not least, poultry
raising. Poultry raising, particularly
with artificial incubation is a depart
ure that has now demonstrated to
the state its success. The poultry de-
partment is interesting.
The "henless hatchery" as the incu-
bator farm in connection with the col
iege is sometimes called, is one Of
the most frequently visited farms"

farms" but their interest never flags
In the department where 1000 fuzzy
little chicks, motherless and lonesome,
crowd about, inviting chance to eat
out of ones hand.
In charge of this department is
James Halpin, graduate of Cornell uni
versity. Mr.. Halpin specialized at Cor
nell in poultry raising and is one of
the best posted poultry men in the
United States.
Scattered about over the premises are
numerous small red buildings with
white trimmings These are the brood
er houses Smaller ones, deserving no
more dignified name than "coops,"
are also scattered about. These are
more or less temporary, being adapted
70 the summer work.
BY the larger and warmer houses
1000 chicks of varying sizes were
"wintered" at the farm. The main
building is devoted to incubation prop
err In it are located thirteen incu-
bators with capacities ranging from
120 to 400 eggs. The entire number
have a combined capacity of 1000
eggs.
Tried once Before.
Several years ago the incubator plan
OF chick raising was abolished at the
institution, but two years ago 1t was
again revived with three incubators,
in charge of Mr.. Halpin. Since the
second establishment it has thriven.
Students who desire to learn poultry
raising from a scientific standpoint
sign up in that branch and are gradu-
ated as specialists in the line. Aside
from instruction the department is cal
culated to experiment for better meth

before. When the kernels germinate
you have a complete record of the vi
tally of each ear. Those in which
one or more of the kernels failed to
terminate should be discarded. Those
that show weak termination should be
put in a pile by themselves. If there
is enough seed without them they
should not be used at all. If there
is not enough of the strong seed the
other will have to be used. BY put
ting it on the warmest, driest soil it
will make fairly good growth.
Grading the Seed.
After the corn has been tested 1t
should be run through seed corn
grader. This will remove the irregular
butt and tip kernels and divide the
rest into several grades, according to
size. If the corn is well graded In this
way an edge drop planter will give the
best results For kernels of different
sizes. however, the full hill drop Is
preferable. The celebration Of the
planter is an important point If an
even stand is to be secured. BY block
ing up the planter so that the wheels
are clear of the ground and running
through a pailful or so Of each grade
Of corn plates can be selected that will
drop the desired number of kernels
ninety-fve times out of a hundred.
These plates should be put with their
particular grade Of corn in readiness
for planting time.
Preparing the Soil.
With graded seed Of high germinat-
ing power and a planter properly cali
brated good stand is almost certain.
The next step is TO prepare the soil to
receive the seed. In sections where
there Is any danger Of drought it pays
to run over the fall blowing with a
harrow early III the spring. This crum-
bles the surface and checks evapora-
ton. 1t also encourages the weeds to
start. only to be killed by the disk
later. AS soon as possible after the
small grain is in the disk should be
set to work on the corn ground. If
there is time it pays to double disk. as
the soil is left in smoother and finer
condition. After disking the ground
should be narrowed occasionally until
planting time.
In many cases corn follows corn, and
the blowing must be done in the
spring. Spring Flowing should not be

very deep, as it makes loose layer Of
dirt into which the moisture cannot
readily rise from the subsoil. AS
consequence the furrow slice dries out,
and the growth of the young corn
plant is checked. A disking before
blowing will cut up the stalks and
provide q fine layer which will fall
into the bottom Of the furrow and help
to restore capillarity. In soils that are
liable to bake, each days blowing
should be narrowed before leaving the
field at night. A little work at this
time will prevent the formation of
clods and save ten times as much trOu-
BILE trying to pulveriZe them later.

1t is better to check than to drill
when growing corn for grain. as it
can be kept cleaner, with resulting
larger yield. For fodder or silage
drilled corn gives more tons of dry
matter per acre and is more easily
handled by the corn binder. In some
of the states west of the Missouri
river, where the soil is light and rain
fall scanty, listing gives the best re-
suits.
The number Of kernels to use per
hill depends upon the richness Of the
soil. On the average corn belt soils
three kernels per hill will give the best

four, while on poor soils two are
enough. 1t pays both in looks and in
ease of cultivating to drive straight
while planting and to take pains to
have the rows check straight cross
wise.
Cultivation.
AS many borrowings as possible
should be given the corn between
planting time and the time it comes
up. If heavy rains have packed the
soil or If it is badly infested with
weeds it will pay to follow the planter
marks with the cultivator before har-
rowing.
AS soon as the rows can be followed
the cultivator should be started. If
any deep cultivation is 70 be given it
should be the first two times over, be-
fore the soil is filed with corn roots.
After the corn is six or eight inches
high some form Of surface cultivator
that will not disturb the soil to
depth Of more than two or three inch
es should be used. In the western part
Of the corn belt, where the fields are
large, the two row cultivator is becom-
ing popular. If the corn is very
straight both ways these cultivators
work we'll after the first time over
and enable one man to handle at least
half as much more land.
The problem Of cultivating a corn
field several hundred acres In extent,
such as is found in many Of the great
corn growing regions Of the prairie
states, has been greatly simplifed
since the two row cultivator came into
use. With the perfect working corn
planters now In the market the rows
Of corn may be made so straight that
the two row cultivator can be used
without difficulty. This has brought
about a facility Of cultivation which
has added largely to the yield in many
parts of the country. Before the COM
ing Of the double row cultivator there
was danger that much Of the land OF
the western portion Of the belt would
become too weedy for corn culture.
