Other Land Withdrawals.

When President Roosevelt becam
fully advised of the necessity for tn
change in our disposition of publ
lands, especially those containing Goa
gas, phosphates, or water-power sites
he began the exercise of the power O
withdrawal by executive order, o
lands subject by law to homestead an
other methods of entering for agri
cultural lands The precedent he sc
in this matter was followed by tn
present administration. Doubt ha
been expressed in some quarters as
the power in the executive to max
such Withdrawals. The confusion an
| injustice likely to arise If the court
were to deny the power led me to ap
the express power. Congress ha
complied. The law as passed doe
not expressly validate or confirm pre-
vious Withdrawals, and therefore a
soon as the new law was passed, 1 my
self confirmed all the withdrawal
which had heretofore been. made. b
both administrations by making ther
over again. This power of withdrawn
is a most useful one, and l do nc
think it is likely to be abused.
The next subject. and one most i'm
portant for our consideration, is tn
disposition of the coal lands in til
United States and in Alaska FRS
as to those in the United States. A
the beginning of this Administrative
there were classified coal lands amount
ing to 5,4T6,000 acres. and there wer
withdrawn from entry for purposes {
classification Il, $4,000 acres. Since tha
time there have been withdrawn by m
order from entry for classification a.
GAS. 900 acres. making total withdrawn
of 5000 acres. Meantime, of TIL
acres thus withdrawn, 11371. 900 hav

HUSKING OUT THE CORN CROP
1T is EASY TO DO PART OF THE WORK In The
BARN DURING INCLEMENT WEATHER IF
MANAGED PROPERLY
By GEO. W. BROWN

In sections Of the county 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 4
sling attachment fastened upon our
hav rope we easily pull the bundles.
about fifteen at a load into the moVS
with the use Of the farm team. In
this manner the basem ent floor is
ready for more shocks from the field
as soon as the weather permits
Out in the field on nice days we can
keep the husking moving by employ
ing the low farm wagon upon which
is fitted a com bination wagon box and
rack. The wings of this rack closed
up form a tight box and by letting
one wing down and driving alongside
the shock row each shock is readily
husl<ed out. the corn thrown directly
into the bed, the fodder bundled. ard
shocked or piled into lunches 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 concern is
felt bv us as to what the weather of
the next day or two may be. In one
corner of the wagon bed is a box for
choice ears for seed, selected as we
go along. If the fodder is to be
shocked up in punches for stacking
later on, we carry a discarded kero
sene can fitted With Il temporary
bottom into which has been placed a
ball of twine with one end threaded
out through the spout
From this ball we cut our supply
Of twine for tying the punches and
have no trouble from the twine 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
rapidly depreciates even in we'll
shocked bunches in the open field.

VALUE OF THE SILO.

The silo is a practical necessity on
all farms where there IS Danger o1
frost catching the corn crop before It
has solved the problem Of handing
reaches it's full maturity. With US It
the portion of the crop which fails TO
has solved the problem OF handing
the portion Of the crop which fails to
reach the desired maturity to feed as
a grain food.
We find we can fill the silo for less
expense than We can put up llke
amount of dry feed, and the cows are
at the same time better fed, which is
the main point to consider When
cows are kept in the stable Tor five to
seven months they cannot return as
satisfactory profits if they are con-
fined to ration Of dry feed alone.
Ensilage gives succulence and is very
much easier to masucate and digest
than dry corn fodder. There is also
a great saving OF labor in feeding
ansila ge, over feeding dry corn fodder.
1t is not now too late to build siloS
on pinch. Any reliable manufac-
turer will send you the material ready
to be put up or will build complete
and on short notice. A saving may be
effected by a group Of farmers buy
ing silos from one factory. BY this plan
better prices may be obtained and by
shipping in carload lots there is
material saving in freight-W. M.

After one head is thus prepared

FRUIT PACKING SUGGESTIONS.

In most cases the Orchardist ought
10 employ disinterested person TO do
his packing.
Line the fruit basket wit4l-burl2D,
two or three thicknesses, to prevent
bruising and scratching.
In yellow apples the only test Of
ripeness is the seeds When they have
turned a light brown it is time to pick.
1t is safe to leave red apples several
days after the seeds indicate ripeness
because the warm, mellow days cf
autumn ad dS to their ripeness and
beauty.
1t is not generally known that all
varieties Of japanese plums are sterile

mated fruit is not as large or vigorous
as fruit from crossed fertilized 3,rs-

PRESERVING FRUIT FOR EXHT-
BITTON

In preserving fruit specimens for
exhibition it is desirable that they
should retain the natural colors and
not decay. A good preparation is
made of 95 parts pure cistern water
and parts formaldehyde or as It is
known commercially as 40 per cent
solution of formaline which NAV be
obtained of most any druggist.
For grapes 2 parts formaldehvd
Will be sufficient. Mason fruit ars
can be used where the regular exhibi-
ton Jars are not to be obtained
The fruit should be well ripened
and colored but not ripe enough to be
soft
Very acid fruits will not be pre-
served in color so we'll as other va rie-
ties, but this condition NAV be fairly
