bushels in 1908. There has been much

at about six bushels for 1910 or per-
haps more. Anyway, there has been
apparently an increase of about one
bushel in our per capita consumption
since 1870. We may suppose an equal
increase in the equal period Of the
next 40 years. making seven bushels

At the rate of sever bushels per cap

This amount taken from the produc.

FALL CARE OF THE PASTURE
Management Of Land 10 One Of Most
Neglected Branches Of Aoricul-
turaI Industry.

The care and management Of the
pasture lands is one of the most
neglected branches of our agricultural
industry and yet there are some farm
ers who realize that the easiest
money That comes to their pocket Is
the money hat comes from their pas
lures. In order to get the greatest
profits from the land that is used for
pasture we must devote more or less
time to the care and management Of
the lands so that they will produce
the greatest amount of nutritious
forage at the time Of year when pas
lures are usually short.
If we find that some of the grasses
are being crowded out by weeds it
will be a good plan to NOV the pas
ture in the early fall and go over the
soil with a sharp disc harrow, cut
ting the tough turf and 20 on a mix
ture of grass seed that is best adapted
for grazing purposes and that will
bloom in succession from May until
September.
In order to have the pasture come
on in the best shape the next spring
It will be necessary to withdraw the
herd or flock from it early in Septeh-
Der and allow the aftermath to form
q mulch to protect the roots of the
grass during the winter.

INFLUENCE OF THE MOTHER
Well to Remember That She Is Ever
q Model Of Behavior to h
Children.

1T is hard for a young mother. who
has not yet overcome the wayward
tendencies Of her own youthful nature,
to realize the influence she eXerts
over her little one. She is constantly
surrounded by critical imitators who
cop her morals and manners.
AS the mother is, so are her sons
and daughters. If a family of children
are blessed with an intelligent moth
er, who is dainty and refined in her
manner, and oes not consider it nee
essary to be one Won in h draw
ing room and an entirely different per-
son in her everyday life, but who is a
true mother and always a tender,
charming woman, she will invariably
see, her habits of speech and perfect
repeated in her children.
Great, rough men and noisy, busy
boys will always one down their
voices and step quietly and try to be
mannerly when she stops to
give them a kind word and a pleasant
smile. For a rue woman will never
fail to say and do all the kind. pleaa
ant things she can that will in m
way help to lift up and cheer those
whose lives are shaded with care and
toll. The mother of today rules the
world OF tomorrow.

otherwise care to do. Yet years ago
she was one of the most ~vivacious,
high-spirited and daring oma OF the
time. Among skaters none was more
dashing than the queen. She vas too,
an intrepid horsewoman and straight
rider to hounds, absolutely without
fear in the hunting field.
An inspection of the saddlery shows
that on all the queens saddles the
pommels and gear are reversed from
the ordinary type. She continued to
ride almost as well and fearlessly as
before, but of recent years the nearest
approach to this has been a little hill
climbing on the back of a sober and
sturdy pony at Balmoral occasionally.
But now even that has been dropped.
A stroll in the grounds wherever she
may be stopping is all the exercise
she takes.
King George has been most kind to
his widowed mother, although when
he told her to take whatever she
wanted from Buckingham palace to
Marlborough house-her future town
residence-he did not know what a
mountain of personal goods she would
get together for the fit.

SCIENCE IN GROWING CORN
Requires Great Deal Of Labor, but
Farmer Is Repaid by the In
creased Crop.
-fRv CuAs 4 ~pETERsEN.l

{By CHAS. X. PETEftSEE.}
The testing OF seed corn Is very I'M
portant this spring. Not in many
years has the question so closely ap-
pealed 70 the farmer as It does now.
Much Of the seed corn saved in the
corn belt states for this seasons plant
ing is showing low termination and
better cultivation than eve will be
necessary to produce a big crop. ...
A good seed bed Is the foundation
OF the crop, or rather the first stone
upon the real foundation. the seed.
Presenting that the corn ground Is IN
proper rotation and sufficiently man
ured, 1t should be worked up ~ mel
low as a garden bed. If stalks are on
the ground they should be disked both
ways, the rollers being ground sharp,
then follow with a spading disk. and
work the soil thoroughly four or five
inches deep. r- r..
1t Is hardly possible to spend too
much time in preparing h ground.
1t should be disked three TINES each
way, making six workings before
planting.
When stalks are plowed under a
SOOu plan lS " HdTIOW uleI IASu pAo"'
then harrow again and plant
The harrow should follow the pillow
closely Inc all plowed grounH should
be finished every noon and n!kht. ,gs
Another good preparation Is to disk
the ground four times. using n spader
the first time and an ordinary disk a
week later. Then harrow the land
after each double disking and plant
close after the harrow. Rowe the H.
linois man says that after several
years experience he prefers disking
to blowing. OF course sod ground
must be plowed.
1t is also important to use the right
kind of q corn planter-use an edge
drop planter or one that will drop ths
exact number Of kernels for which II
is set SO times out of 100. 1t should
even do better than that, II the seed
has been carefully sorted according
to size to At the holes in the different
plates. This is the only way to get
an even stand Of corn. An even stand
from good seed Ia the only way to
grow a profitable crop.
Test the planter we'll before taking
1t to the field. Do not spoil a lot Of
ground and waste a lot Of seed trying
to find out whether your planter is
reliable or not.
