corn GOES AS FERrILIzER.
Slow Decay When pIowed Under Just
The Thing for Orchards.

Corn cobs are rated BY farmers about
like sawdust and broom corn seed, IN
point OF fertility; and all three are
thrown away, or burned as worthless
matter. In fact, at some elevators, where
corn Is shelled BY hundreds Of wagon
loads, a furnace IS provided and the cobs
are dumped into IL from the shelter, TO
90 up in smoke. This is great waste,
fully as great as burning the straw
stack, as a contributor TO the Indiana
Farmer says. The cob is especially rich
in soil food The large residue in the
way Of ashes indicates potash. The
fierce heat OF the cobdre indicates much
carbon, and a chemical analysis will
show the presence OF phosphorus and lime
IN no mean quantity. In fact, there is
no waste material in the cob II is only
little difficult to make available, be-
cause slow to rot.
But there are two ways in which this
may be overcome First farmer VINO
has a corn crusher can run a load Of
cobs through Il Ia few minutes, and
thus render them available to oxygen.
Second, they may be plowed under, more
easily than any other form Of raw unrot-
ted material except sawdust; and here
their slow process OF disinteRration will
be the very thing desired. Nothing can
be better under the surface Of meadow
land or more useful as q feeder for the
roots Of the trees in an orchard.

fortunately has no incineratorl and, with
one horse bar-shovel pillow, ! turned
them under four . six inches deep. It
is now the thir summer since this was
done. and anyone can notice the effect
on the trees They are thrifty and their
fruit is large and well-shaped. The slow
decay is Just what proves best for the
supply Of potash and phosphorus and
lime for the trees.
Incidentally, / noticed there has not
been a mole in the orchard since the cobs
We're plowed under; and as they are
quite active outside, | suppose my cobs
act as a hindrance. The crushed cobs,
when partially rotted, can be used any
where. as they will thus not be in the
way Of the pillow or the hote And after
one year under ground the uncrushed cob
win be sufficiently rotted to be free from
that objection. A the meadow is al
lowed to run two 10 five years, they will
be entirely unobiectionabie as an under

that when put the spade down for any
purpose, il brings up a splendid soil weir

NAMES TROUT EXAMPLE.
A Model in Actual Management Of The
Problem.

Maine Is about the only. state in
which no falling of in the supply Of
trout Is heard Of. Yet in Maine the sea
son is longer than in any Of the other
states, and smaller fish are allowed to
be retained than in most Of the states.
Maine makes the limit FIVE inches, while
New York and Connecticut follow the
common practice in making 1t six inch
Is. But in both states the general fish,
ing is declining, whatever the fact as
to some protected waters. Undoubted-
ly Maine has exceptional natural advan-
tages, but much Of its success in keep
ing up the number OF trout is due to in
telligent and very extensive restocking.
II is not likely that in Maine young
trout fry would be dumped into d large
lake, to be promptly eaten, as was done
in an Adirondack lake, according to the
story told in the Albany Argus. This
declares that several thousand trout
fry were turned loose IN deep water
near dock. a day or two later large
trout was caught from the wharf, and
its stomach was found to contain l75
Of the fry. Planting fish in that fashion
is criminal neglect. They might all
most Is well be thrown ON dry ground
and left there
II Il also being discovered pretty
generally that the work Of stocking
streams largely benefits those who post
the streams. This is so we'll known
that some states maintain open streams
on the ground that without doing that
the state has no right to spend public
money in providing trout for clubs aud
private landowners. This enlightened
conception has not vet made much i'm.
preston on the Connecticut commission,
but it will have to come in time.
The falling off in the trout supply
in New York cannot be wholly due to
everlasting or ignorant stocking, for the
fish commission has done much good
work and probably never authorized 81
