Several years ago wncn the coun.

there was much interest In the plan
OF crossing buffaloes with Galloway
cattle. The Galloway slightly re.

and rather low on the ground.
Many crosses between buffalo bulls
and domestic cattle have been made
and at one time II looked as though
this crossing might prove successful
The crossbred animals were har.

OF feed and take on fat more readily
than the common cattle. However
that may be, the cross.bred animals
had less OF picturesque beauty than
the pure.bred buffalo and very much
less apparent good meat than the true
Angus cattle with which they had
been mixed.

Careful Investigations, not only by

state experiment stations, show that
corn can be handled more cheaply
by the use OF machinery than by

There are several kinds OF cora-

(By 8. II, CLISTOS.)

With the annual production OF close
to three billions Of bushels OF corn
and the prevailing scarcity OF farm
help. the farmers OF this country
would be utterly unable to harvest
their crops without human hands.
Fortunately this condition OF AFFAIRS
was foreseen by manufacturers sew
eral years ago and they rose TO the
occasion by inyenting machines which
are almost as important in taking
care OF this crop as the harvester and
binder is to the wheat crop.
The Introduction OF the corn binder
has given tremendous impetus TO the
production Of ensllage; in fact, the
work OF cutting corn by hand requires
so much labor that the use OF silos
would be practically prohibtive.
With modern machinery, however,
the corn crop can be cut, bound and
reduced to ensilage in a few days.
The great machines move over the
ground rapidly. cut the corn evenly,
drag 1t into bundles and drop 1t into
windrows where 1t may quickly be
elevated to wagons and hauled to the
slos.
Some farmers claim that by the
use OF corn-haryesting machinery and
the silo the value OF their corn land

woman had sweet tooth and was not

her admirer that a box Of chocolates

GOOD DRY FARMING PLANTS
Chinese cowIiang and FetozIa Have
Some Strong Points In Their
Favor-Grow Quickly.

Cowliang and Fetozia are not very
familiar names to the dry farmer yet,
but these Chinese plants have some
strong points in their favor, and were
amongst the exhibits from Oklahoma
at the dry farming congress. Either
OF them Is ten to fifteen days earlier
than milo maize. furnishing an early
grain for the growing shoats at a
time when they are calling for more
food to fill out their fast.growing
frame. Other things being equal, a
quick.growing crop is preferable in
many seasons In the dry belt. for 1t
is easier and cheaper to conserve
moisture before than after planting.
Both these crops are good yielders OF
grain and have matured well at times
without moisture during the eighty
days 1t takes them to mature.
Just how far north their range will
be ! do not know. but quick crops
grow well during the hot weather in
the north and Its intense sunlight.
whilst slower ones get nipped by
frost.
The, wide extension Of corn TO the
Dakotas and Minnesota is in large
measure due to the quick growing
kinds. For the silo and hay. how.
ever. 1t is often the case that a sort
that has no chance to mature will
produce the yields and quality II cut
at the right time. We are just begin
ming to appreciate what really
drouth.resistant plant can do. These
have been strangers to US and 1t Is
strange to US that enough moisture can
be In the ground to mature crop
without further precipitation.
The question OF when to plant needs
much study. We we're wont here to
plant very early to catch every shower
and snow In early spring, and often
lost more than We gained, for many
drought.resistant plants are creatures
OF hot climates and adversely affected
by cold ground. which gives them a
setback from which they never recov-
er. whilst wheat and oats do better
with spell of cold weather for STOOL
Ing and roofing. 1t is inconyenient for
farmers to make many different plant
!ngs and that Is where the experiment
stations can help us out and save US
a lot OF money and wasted effort by
trying these things out and publishing
results.

which has two needles does not need
to raise the corn so high, hence less
power Is required to run It. A very
handy attachment is knife that cuts
the stubbe close to the ground, thus
making further operations on the
same ground more convenient.
In binding corn. the old practice Of
husking the ears and leaving the
stalks-which contain over 40 per
cent. OF the total feeding.value OF the
corn crop-in the field to decay. Is en-.
tirely too wastetul and must give way
to more Intensive methods.
This means OF course that some
kind OF modern corn harvester must
be used, so the corn binder has be-
come permanent fixture on a
large number OF well managed farms
throughout the corn belt.
In hauling corn fodder from the
field to the shredder or wherever 1t Is
desired, lowwheeled wagons are best.
