Corn Planters. next

We have the Hayes and the
Deere No. 9 Corn Planters. We
know that our saying they are
the two best Planters does
not always convince you. but
if you will take one and plant
your corn with it, and find
that they are not as repre-
sented, and the most perfect
working and convenient plan
ter ever produced, we will
take them back just as will
ingly as we send them out.
The New Deere No. 9 with tip

quite dusty. We have our wet sec
tons and our dry sections, our cloudy
sections and our cloudless skies for
months in the summer in other parts.
Some sections can raise alfalfa, 9th
ers can not; some sections are noted
for fine peaches, while in other parts
they can not be made a commercial
success. I once ordered some straw
berry plants from an old Iowa friend
and in writing me he said that |
would not have any trouble in making
them grow in such a wet country. He
had no doubt heard of the rainfall
in certain sections of Washington and
the "webfooters" in certain parts of
Oregon, but eve dreamed that where
l set out my strawberry plants the
annual rainfall is but 8 or 9 inches
and but for irrigation the plants I
ordered would have all been dead
before the middle of the m
Now I am ready to point out the
harm that comes to many people East
who come to the Northwest. They
see on sale in New York, Philadel-
phia, Boston, Chicago, st. Louis, Oma-
ha or st. Paul, some very fine apples
and they find that they are called
Oregon Apples" They never seem
to realize that a pertinent question
would be What part of Oregon was
the home of these apples?" 1t is at
once concluded that apples raised in
Oregon must be the finest in the
world. That may be true if they
happen to come from Hood River or
about Medford and doubtless some
other localities. These people come
out and fall into the hands of some
scheming land boomers who locate
them on land where it rains almost
continually for six or eight months
during the veal and where moss grows
on the trees, on the roofs of the houses
and on fence rails. They may plant
out an apple orchard but will never
raise such apples as they saw in
the Eastern markets. 1t would be
just as true if I were to erase the
word Oregon and write in Washing
ton. I have used Oregon Apples in
my illustration because apples from
that state are better known than from
any other state. Washington and
some other states are fast forging
ahead and will soon sit beside their
frontier neighbor.
Many people coming to these North
western states make serious mistakes
by not being able to comprehend the
difference between the very favor
able and ~unfavorable conditions here

The planter who sets in
his orchard other trees
than the best he can buy
is making a serious mis-
take.
A good tree at a fair
price is cheaper than a
pood tree or one of ques-
tionable worth, as a gift.
Orchard land is too val
liable to be encountered
with trees that will be a
long time in bringing re-
turns.
Our trees are grown on
the Yakima Reservation,
isolated from old orchards,
being as a consequence
free from pest or disease,
and, possessing a splendid
root system, they make a
rapid growth and come in
to early bearing.
Agents everywhere.

fifty-fve days from termination, but it
is also the best corn to plant for the
early fall markets.
The Country Gentleman is the best
second early variety for the private
family as we'll as for the retail trade.
The corn is of delicious quality-con-
sidered the sweetest in cultivation.
Planted on rich ground and given ex-
ira fertilizing and culture, two or three
large ears can be grown to the stalk.
Stowelrs Evergreen is the standard
variety both for market and for the
private family, The ears are of large
size, grains deep, tender and sweet, a
vigorous grower, producing one to two
large ears to the stalk. 1t requires
fully sixty days to mature marketable
ears.
To have succession plant every
twelve days. The ground for sweet
corn should be deeply plowed, harrow
ed and rolled until fine and mellow
Spread we'll rotted, rich manure in the
furroW, then sow 400 pounds of
complete fertilizer to the acre on top
of the mixture; mix the manure and
phosphate with the EARTH drop three
grains twenty inches apart in the row.
Hubbard squash or crook neck pump
kins may be planted in every fifth
row. Give frequent and thorough cul-
ture. Two good workings with the
hoe should be given. In eastern corn
states the varieties referred to are
planted as late as the last of July.

Summer and Fall Seeding and
TOp-DreSSing,

Many farmers are finding it to their
advantage to seed down during the sum-
mer and fall, claiming that by so doing
they are apt toget much better CATCH
than they do when they follow the usual
practice and seed down in the spring.
The same is true regarding top-dress-
ing grass land. Some of the most pro-
gressive farmers put on top-dressing i'm
mediately after hayiGg, with perhaps a
small application of nitrate of soda the
following spring.
Ifyou will send your name and P. O.
address to Carroll S. Page, Hyde Park,
VT, he will send you free, postpaid, sew
eral formulas for mixing fertilizers es-
pecially adapted to top-dressing and fall
seeding, together with prices of ingredi-
tents, full directions for mixing, etc.
These formulas have been approved by
the Vermont Experiment Station and
will be found thoroughly reliable.

All kinds of poultry have great
fondness for either sweet or sour milk,
1t is cheap food when properly fed.
Separator milk, direct from the fac
tory, mixed with corn chop, makes one
of the best foods to fatten old hens.
For laying hens and half grown chick
ems it may be poured into troughs just
as it comes from the factory. For
young chickens and turkeys it should
be made into curds. The milk must
be fed with judgment, especially to
young turkeys, as all overlooking will
prove fatal. A moderate feed is all
right, but too much will cause loss.
Give small feed of curd mixed with
corn chop late in the afternoon.

POSSIBILITIES IN CORN.

With Special Reference to Several Va
rieties of Sweet Brands.
1t is not too late to consider sweet
corn, of which there are several varie-
ties. The Illustration gives an idea
of the high state of perfection to which
any species Of corn, sweet or other
wise, can attain when cultivated with
care. The illustration shows the pos
sibilities Of the better brands when
properly planted and grown under good
conditions.
A popular standard of sweet corn is
the Early White Cob Cary. The White
Cob has all the good qualities of its
parent and with the added advantage
of having a white cob and pure white
grains. The stalks are of medium
height, stout and stocky, allowing a
close planting. In good land, well fer
tilted, two ears may be grown to the
stalk. 1t is not only the best early
variety, producing marketable ears
