Practical Results of sobriety.

Hemn ns a Wccd-Killer.

The United States Department OF
Agriculture, the various State expert
mental stations and the college de-
partments Of agronomy are doing a
wonderful work in the matter of edu-
eating the farmer. One of the latest
announcements is the discovery of an
effective method for suppressing
weeds without resorting to the labor
ious process of hand-pulling.
The agricultural department Of the
University of Wisconsin, while con-
ducting a series of tests in hem1-
growing. found that the crops great
est usefulness was in eradicating
weeds Some OF the experimental
plats this year on land worked by the
university were badly infested with
quack grass. Canada thistles. wild
mustard and other deep-rooted weeds.
These plats we're sown to hemp, which
grew to height Of ten or twelve feet.
II may have been the rank growth OF
the hemp or the derivation of sun
light, but when the land was broken,
after the crop was removed, it was
found that nearly all of the weed
roots had been killed. A university
bulletin makes the announcement OF
the facts in the case, and adds that
weedy ground does not affect the
growth of hemp.
But the most important fact in con.
nection with the matter is that it pays
to grow hemp-at least in Wisconsin,
so that the farmer can get a profit
from his land at the same time that
he is getting rid of one of his worst
enemies. On a four-acre field about
1000 pounds of fiber were secured.
The fiber brings seven cents a pound.
or $40 an acre, and the labor of pro.
ducing it costs about $50, leaving a
balance of S40.-Buffalo Commercial

The Silo a Great Helm.

Upon one of our farms we keep a
dairy, using nothing but Holstein
cows. We retail this milk in Emmits.
burg, Md. at six cents per quart and
ten cents a pint for cream. We arc
milking only eighteen cows at this
time. We have been in business for
ten years and have had a silo for the
last eight Before we built our silo
we had to buy milk from other farms
to keep up our trade. Since then we
have had plenty of milk and cream,
for our COWS yield as well in winter as
in summer, when grass and pasture
are good.
We built our silo a little too small.
1t is twenty-four feet high and twelve
feet wide, about the right proportions.
But 1t would have been better had we
made it twenty-six feet high and four.
teen feet wide for eighteen head OF
cows. We feed them six months in
the year and we use about six or
seven acres of corn, planting it so as
to have one stalk every ten inches
We cultivate the corn four times and
get all the grain that we can from
such a stand. We have found nothing
better for silage than corn. We feed
about forty of fifty pounds per day
for each COW and add to this a little
bran and little cottonseed meal My
cows are in good condition. We have
another silo upon another farm where
we feed steers. They do well upon
this and the feed costs much less than
corn chop. When you get your silo
filled you have your feed all ready for
winter. There is no husking or haul
ing corn month after month. We seed
our ground that we take the corn
from with winter wheat. We have
Just bought another farm and will
put silo upon this. We can fill it
this coming fall. The question as tc
the profitableness OF the sllo has been
permanently settled. The man who
Is farming and keeps stock cannot do
without one unless he is working for
his health rather than for profits.
We often looA at our neighbors' stock
at this time of the year when they
are anticipating grass, and their con-
dition IS certainly lamentable. 1t
takes them almost half the pasture
season to cover.-Paterson Bros, In
kimballs Farmer.

The Dairy Type.

AT recent farmers institute one
OF the addresses on dairy cows con-
tained the following strong point:
"If a man who raises corn should
take from his crib big ears and little
ones, with big cob a0d small cob, long
grains and short grains, nubbins and
all, would he ever get corn of one
type? Or If. on the other hand. he
constantly selected corn of one type,
would he expect corn of another type?
Yet this is just what some dairy CD
farmers expect in raising cows.
"By the word type l do not mean
breed. There is a general type or
form in good mixers of all breeds. II
we breed for the perfect beef type we
necessarily breed out or eliminate the
dairy type just as in corn breeding for
one type of corn, we eliminate all
other types

Fertility Must Ee Maintained.

We insist upon one absolute and
fundamental necessity, namely, that
the fertility of the soil must be main
tanned In both live stock and grain
farming.
These are some foundation facts:
l. We must maintain the supply
Of organic matter. nitrogen and phos-
phorus In the soil.
2. A ton CT average farm manure
contains about 500 pounds OF organic
matter. 100 pounds OF nitrogen and
tEo pounds OF phosphorus.
g. A ton OF dry clover contains
about 1000 pounds OF organic matter
forty pounds OF nitrogen (which may
have been taken from the air) and
five pounds of phosphorus (taksn
from the SOLD and many grain farm
crs can pillow under u two-ton crop OF
clover on forty acres who cannot pro.
cure 500 tons OF manure.
4. A ton OF good natura. rocl
phosphate. which can be delivered tS
most parts OF the corn belt for IS ol
$40, contains about $50 pounds o.
phosphorus, or more than is contained
In 100 tons OF average manure.
:. More than million tons a year
OF our best phosphate is being shipped
out Of the United States. and this son
tains the only plant food element IN
which our common soils are becom
1ng deficient. aside from nitrogen
which can always be secured from
the inexhastible supply In the air. b,

Rancid Butter.

Here is a good warning or sugges-
tion about rancid flavor in butter that
is we'll to consider: IF the merchant
who handles your butter in the mar
ket complains about a rancid flavor.
the chances are that you over-ripened
the cream, If you didn't haye lot of
stale stuff that day. Now, II you test
ed your cream for acidity and kept a
daily record Of it, you could look up
the records for the day that butter
was made, and chances are that the
records would show the cause OF the
complaint. If the records don't show
the cause, chances are your records
are on either wrong or incomplete" &"

Perfectly Safe.

Herbert, aged Ave. had received a
handsome toy horse for Christmas.
One day he took It into the street
to play. He returned without the
horse. Fearing that the toy might
have been lost or stolen from him,
his mother asked him where It was.
She was surprised at this reply; "Oh.
left him around the corner. He
cant get away, tied him to tree"

A HORSE IN A MARSH.

One night while in the country we
were suddenly awakened by the bark
ing of our dog. We got up and in
vestigated, but could find nothing
wrong. so we thought that perhaps he
had heard some one passing on the
road. and again retired for the night
The following morning we again
searched the barnyard and found that
the horse was missing. We looked
all over the grounds and finally found
him stuck In the swamp.
There we're four men staying at the
house, and they tried to raise the
horse. but all their efforts failed for
he sunk deeper and deeper. They
then went across the road and asked
our neighbor for assistance. He,
knowing the danger of the swamp. re-
sponded Immediately. bringing with
him his son, a team of horses and two
Of his boarders. The eight men
worked for about three hours, being
In great danger themselves of slipping
into the marsh or OF being hurt by

while for liberty. At last their eff

legs. and with one vigorous pull

he was raised on Arm ground.
The horse was so weak when he
was taken out of the swamp that he
could hardly stand, but after good
treatment for two or three days he
was himself again. Every precaution
has been taken to prevent him from
ever getting in there again.--Mar-
guerite e. Bender. in the New York

When Corn Is Dear.

Even when corn is high the rela-

1t the cheapest feed for finishing;
fifty-cent corn is not expensive feed
for six-cent hogs. Up to the last six
weeks of feeding, wheat, rye or other
cheaper substitutes may be used with
grass, but in the ordinary course corn
will be the best dependence for the
close of the tattening period.-From
