Value of Corn Fodder.

While 1t is a well known fact that
the fodder Of corn has a feeding value
almost equal to the corn itself, it is
not practicable to utilize it fully. The
best that we can do is to save about
three-fourthS Of its actual feeding
value 1t is true that one may save
fully 90 per cent Of the bulk of its
value, but at that he may be able to
save only rs per cent Of its feeding
value.
The corn harvester is absolutely es-
sential in the economy of the fodder
saving. The scarcity of farm labor
makes the cost Of saving fodder in
the old way entirely too expensive,
and this is where the corn harvester
shows its value.
1t is a simple effective machine and
can easily be handled by the ordinary
farm hand. 1t is quite the equal of
the modern self-binder for grain and
there is no machine on the farm that
will prove to be better investment.
1t is d great mistake to allow any
of the corn crop to go to waste. After
all the work Of planting and culttva-
ton the crop 1t is poor business to al
low any of the fodder to escape. By
the use of the corn harvester, the husk,
er and shredder fully 80 per ent of
the bulk of the fodder can be saved,
and it will pay TO the proportion of
labor expended as we'll as any crop
on the farm.

Notes on Orchard Culture.

Glover is the apple trees best friend.
A tree that is worth planting is
worth taking care Of.
A few days after pruning paint the
stubs with white lead.
Profit from a fruit orchard is not
theory, but a demonstrated fact.
Good. first-class fruit is the aim of
our efforts. Never be satisfied with
anything else,
Stable manure is without doubt tn
best general fertilizer that can be ap-
piled to orchard soils.
Make the orchard business venture
and keep an account with everything
pertaining to It's interests.
When poor fruit is produced there
is a reason. Aim TO find it by a care
full study Of the trees and conditions.
Nature grows fruit for the seeds,
while man grows it for the pulp. We
want pulp with as few seeds as posi-
bic.

off about three feet from the trunk TO

Crust-NIissionary's Wife Made
Perfect Cures by Cuticura.
For several years my husband was
a missionary in the Southwest. Every
one in that high and dry atmosphere
has more or less trouble with dandruff
and my daughters scalp became SO en-
crusted with it that l was alarmed for
fear she would lose all her hair. After
trying various remedies, in desperation
l bought a cake OF Cuticura Soap and
a box of Cuticura Ointment. They left
the scalp beautifully clean and free
from dandruff and l am happy to say
that the Cuticura Remedies were a
complete success. l have also used
successfully the Cuticura Remedies for
so-called 'milk-crust' on baby's head.

Live Stock and Fertility.

As rule, the best farming is done
where some form of live stock grow
ing and feeding is being practiced
however, it is not correct to say that
fertility can not be maintained without
live stock. The matter Of maintaining
soil fertility by the use of legume crops,
aided by mineral fertilizers used to in
crease the growth Of these crops, is
possible, although as a general propo-
sition it is not profitable.
1t is not the fertility alone which
live stock brings to the farm, but the
organic matter which their presence
brings to the soil. In addition to the
humus and plant food contained in
stable manure there are present GER
tain bacteria that assist in the work of
making the plant food contained in the
manure available to the growing plants.
After completing their work of max
ing the plant food in the manure avail
able to the plants, they seize and con-
tinue their work of nitrifcation as long
as conditions are favorable.
This explains why a small applica-
ton of manure to certain soils will
produce results far beyond the actual
fertilizing value Of the manure that is
used. Another point in favor of live
stock growing and feeding is the fact
that all rational plans of maintaining
soil fertility depend upon growing
crops in the rotation that are adapted
for animal feeding.
There are many live stock growers
and feeders who are not keeping the
productive qualities of their soils with
all of the manure they are making. as
well as the crop growers. By proper
cultivation and care a small amount of
manure goes long ys.-AgriculturaI

Crop Rotation.

In order that we may maintain the
supply of humus and thus preserve the
fertility of the soil, it is essential that
on all tillable lands that we adopt a
rotation Of crops. \ much larger pro-
portion Of our land should be in perma-
nent pasture. 1t is easy for a farmer
to adopt a rotation on the portion of
his land that is under tillage, but the
adoption Of a rotation necessarily in
wolves some branch of animal feeding
in order to utilize the clovers and
grasses which form so essential a part
Of the rotation. Growing and feeding
live stock will avail but little unless
the manure is carefully saved, both liu-
uids and solids, and applied regularly.
Where q general line Of live stock
farming is being followed there need
be but little fear Of a decline in the
productive capacity Of the farm There
are certain soils that may be deficient
in potash or phosphoric acid and on
such soils it will pay large returns to
use mineral fertilizers in connection
with the nsTl%re that is made on the

Near the town of Jasper settler has
a farm which probably is unlike any 9TH
err in the world. This farm occupies the
tableland on the summit of a ridge and
is incIosed with a fence which no animal
has ever broken through. 1t does not
rise above the surface Of the farm, but
falls sheer from the edge a distance of
many feet. The man who homesteaded
the tableland had a hard climb up the
face of the cliff to reach the comparative
ly level summit. By blasting and drilling
the discoverer made a path by which
stock could be brought up, and now has
horses, cattle and hogs in his fertile lit
tie kingdom, but no wheeled vehicle has
ever been taken there.-Kansas City

Steel Bands Instead of Betting.

Steel bands are now used in Germany
in place of leather betting. On account
of their solidity, these bands are much
narrower than leather belts used for
the same loads, being about one-sixth of
the usual leather belt. The steel band
is not so heavy as leather, and it can
be very tightly adjusted, the distance
between the engine and the machine be
