DEPTH OF CORN CULTIVATION
10 Matter on Which There Is Not Per.
feet Asreement-soll Conditions
Materially Influence.

The depth to which corn may be cui-
tivated, especially in dry areas. is a
matter on which there is not perfect
agreement. Soil conditions materially
influence this question. Usually shall
low cultivation only Is recommended
and as "A rule such cultivation is cor.
rect. but there are some exceptions.
says the Dakota Farmer. One difficult
ty Is to know exactly when the excep-
tions occur.
One exception is found In soils that
are much prone to settle too adhes-
lively. as for instance stiif clays. In
these 1t may be necessary or at least
advantageous to cultivate somewhat
deeply the first cultivation that is
given This. however, will depend
somewhat on the size Of the corn when
the first cultivation Is given. II the
corn has reached say foot high be-
fore such cultivation is given. some
caution must be used about going down
deeply MS the lateral roots OF the
corn will have pushed out far from
the plants and not far from the sur
face. II the first cultivation given Is
deep. then the civilizations that follow
should be less deep.
A second exception Is found In that
condition OF soil which not infre-
queu'ly occurs In the west when n
crust forms below the line OF the shall
low cultivation. This crust may be
lower than some OF the lateral roots.
This brings up the question. will the
corn suffer most by breaking the lat
ernl roots when breaking the crust or
by leaving the crust unbroken. Tho
best authorities favor the breaking up
OF the crust. and doubtless they are
righ' This can only be done by send
Ing the cultivator down deep enough
to accomplish the end sought.
There Is also n difference OF opinion
as to when cultivation shall cease. 1t
would seem safe to say that 1t should
usually continue longer than Is the
case In the average experience OF the
farmer But after the crop gets high
the work of cultivation becomes more
costly. rs 1t has to be done with one
horse cultivator. When thus man.
aged |, may be continued until the
forming OF the ears.
Tn" objects sought In such late cui-
tivation are two-fold. The first object
is to maintain the covering OF loose
earth 50 rs to prevent evaporation.
and the second Is to destroy weeds
that would otherwise mature. Wild
oats. for instance. may germinate af-
ter the usual time for maturing seed
ceases. and the same Is true OF mus
tard. \ corn crop will not result in
all the benefit that may result from
growing 1t. unless 1t is kept perfectly
clean

POULTRY NOTES.

Be sure there are no bad drafts in
tho henhouse.
Lcaky roofs should be repaired be-
fore fall work begins.
Give the hen the proper material
and she Will lay all right.
Some form OF dry animal food Is a
satisfactory food for cgg production.
Though fowls are primarily grain
eaters. they desire meat food In some
form.
Turkeys are insect hunters. ducks
are grazers. and chickens are grain
eaters.
Learn to handle from 90 to 100
chickens successfully before trying
many more.
Beef scrap is probably the best and
most convenient substitute for meat
that can be used.
It is the little details that make the
in poultry raising.
The presence of cockcrel with
hens has little effect upon the number
and quality Of eggs.
OIL meal Is high in protein content
and Is most valuable In the fall when
molting Is In process.
II given whole grain. for which they
nust scratch among the straw. hens
get necessary exercise.
1t may be truthfully said that. under
the same conditions. cegs will keep
fresh no longer than milk will keep
sweet.
Fowls will do som ething toward bal
ancing their own rations. and they
will take more or less exercise IL they
have the chance.
Thousands of farmers market their
milk and cream daily: and an appeal
is made to them to market the eggs
produced daily also.
The quality which Is most desirable
in milk and cream for immediate con-
sumption Is sweetness. In eggs. the
corresponding quality Is freshness.
Keep fresh water. grit. oyster shell
and charcoal before the chicks all the
time, cut grass If they are shut in
small run. dry wheat bran and finely
ground beef scraps.

Horse knowledge.

An old horseman remarked recent
ly: "If man wants to learn about
horses he must learn from horses" A
man to be successful must be with
horses and be n close observer of their
moods. manners and makeup. A colt
should be trained from the first mo-
ment he is helped to his feet. If
taught to yield early to mans re
straint and guidance he will never
need "breaking." To follow his mas
ter's wishes will be second nature.
Never speed n colt too young. and
when he is given speed permit it for
short spur,s only as he can bear it.

Nutrients In Foods.

Protein. starch. fat. sugar and fiber
are the nutrients that make up foods.
Protein Is the only one from which
muscle and tissue can be made-thc
others serve to produce heat. energy
and fat. Starch and sugar are equal
in food value. The fiber in the plant
cut green has the same food value as
starch; when the plant is mature the
fiber becomes largely indigostiblc. as
in straw. Fat serves the same pur-
pose In the animal body as starch; 1t
is more concentrated. having pa
times US much nutriment in given
weight
