HUskING OUT THE CORN CROP
Easy to Do Part Of Work in Barn
During lncIement Weather If
Managed Properly.
(By GEORGE K BROWN,


IN sections of the country where the
corn crop is quite large it is almost
impossible to shuck out the entire
crop in the barn, hence the most
handy and economical method of dis
posing of the corn and fodder in the
open field during the early fall months
is sought out This is the way we
gather our corn:
AS soon as the crop is ready to haul
into the barn we fill up our large base
ment floor, which holds about two
good days husking, and keep it stored
there for bad autumn days which are
sure to come.
When we are driven from the fields
by storms we husk and bundle this
stored fodder out, and by the use of
sling attachment fastened upon our
hay rope we easily pull the bundles,
about fifteen at a load into the mows
with the use Of the farm team. In
this manner the basement floor is
ready for more shocks from the field
as soon as the weather permits.
Out in the fields on nice days we can
keep the husking moving by employ
ing the low farm wagon upon which
is fitted combination wagon box and
rack. The wings Of this rack closed
up form tight box and by letting
one wing down and driving alongside
the shock row each shock is readily
Z husked out, the corn thrown directly
into the bed, the fodder bundled, and
shocked or piled into punches. Each
evening after the days husking is
stored in the cribs the same wagon
is employed in gathering in the days
husking of fodder which is hauled to
the barn and securely stored away.
In this manner each days work is
finished up clean and no concern is
felt by US as to what the weather of the
next day or two may be. In one cor
ner of the wagon bed is box for
choice ears of seed, selected as we
go along. If the fodder is to be
shocked up in punches for stacking
later on, we carry discarded kero-
sene can, fitted with a temporary bat
tom into which has been placed ball
of Irvine with one end threaded out
through the spout.
From this ball we cut out our supply
of Irvine for tying the punches and
have no trouble from the Irvine en-
tangling among the fodder
We aim to get all the corn into the
cribs and the fodder into the stacks
and barns as early as possible, for
after winter storms set in, fodder rap

punches in the open field

about by the fungus, and the fungus
cannot start except by its own repro
ductive methods.
Keep the spores away from the
green ears and the corn will remain
sound. Keep the field free from the
substance on which the spores are
produced and the crop will remain
free from danger
Practically the new infection comes
from the old stalks, not often from
the new infected ears to corn grown
the same season.
Obviously the thing necessary then.
is to take out of the field and DESTROY
every rot-infected ear at husking time
and then to remove from badly in
fected fields the stalks by cutting
them low and burning them.
OF course better remedy is to ro-
tate crops so that corn shall not fol.

If corn is planted by the side of an
old infected field, especially if the
latter is upon the side from which
come the prevailing summer winds.
south and west, infection is sure to
follow.
If these suggestions are strictly
carried out and corn is not allowed
to follow corn in the same soil oftener
than once in three years, carrot NAV

CLEVER BIRDS AND ANIMALS
Masples and Cats Possess Unusual In
telIect-Lnteresting Tale Of
Kitten and Tom Cat.

Magpies are as clever as they are
noisy. One was offered an extfnguish-
ed cigar stump which it began to tear
apart. But apparently changing it's
mind, the bird proceeded to rub the
stump, held in its beak, over every
part of its body, including the wings,
in a most careful and methodical man
ner. The experiment was subsequent
ly repeated many times, always with
the same result. The magpiel Is SO
fond of tobacco that it repeatedly has
snatched a lighted cigar from a mans
hand against his will. 1t also picks
up fallen cigar ashes and strews them
over it's feathers. ~
1t is thought that these actions
have purpose, the destruction of par
asites, and are determined by atavism,
or inherited instinct. In the wild
state some unidentified plant must
have been used as an insecticide in
stead of tobacco The magpies action,
furthermore, seems to be an unques-
tionable instance of the use of tools
by lower animal.
Cats, too, are famously clever. A
kitten about six months old was taken
to house a few miles from its birth
place, confined in room, and tender
ly cared for during week, and then
set at liberty. 1t was supposed to
have become accustomed to its new
surroundings, but it returned to Its
old home on the day of it's release.
The sense of locality and direction
was exhibited still more strikingly by
an cid tom cat Which was stolen and
carried a distance of 20 miles, con-
fined in bag. The ca, was imprison-
| ed. but made it's escape, and in a few
days reappeared in a pitiable state
| at the home of its former master,
which was separated from that of the
thief by high wooded cliff.

LIVESTOCK
q i,::yNOTES u

Carelessness in handling pigs is
bad habit to form.
In form the Dorsets are not SO far
unlike the Gouthdown.
The hog is waste saver 1t stops
many a leak in the farm.
Sows and young pigs should be on
pasture as soon as possible.
Old sows are class by themselves
SO far as quality of meat goes.
Rape pasture is cheaper than
ground feed and should be used.
Salt is the shepherds friend, as it
makes his flock love him and follow
his leading.
Too many farmers have failed to
appreciate the possibilities of rye as
hog pasture.
In sorting the breeding flock atten-
ton should be paid to establishing
uniform type.
There are few farms on which at
least some sheep can not be kept to
great advantage.
Male lambs should be castrated
when one to three weeks old to pro-
duce the best returns.
No animal on the farm can be ex.
pected to do its best without free
access to good water.
In buying farm one of the most
important things to consider is the
matter of water for the stock
Good-gaiteds good-looking horses of
