Fat One May go to
Saving Cord Wood

Hon. A. c. Burnstad, the cattle
king of Florence, was Waterfowl
visitor last Tuesday. Mr.. Burnstad
says that he has over 100 cords Of
wood on his farm which only awaits
the ak in the hands Of an able bodied
man.
Mr. Burnstad said to the Saturday
News man: II notice you have been
saying considerable about hard times
in your paper. Now, tell you what
I'll do. I have a hundred cords OF
wood on my farm and good cross

ment with you. You come out and
help me cut that wood into cord wood
and will furnish your board and
lodging, haul the wood to the cars

Dryer in Iowa Than
in South Dakota

gus-Leader-Many of the papers
the drought Gin South Dakota" but
they have kept very quiet about con.
diticns which have prevailed for the
past year in Iowa and which now con.
,tinue.. The editor of the Argns-Leader
spent last week in Iowa, visiting the
southwestern part of the state and
going east as far as DesMoines, COM
pared with that part of Iowa, South
Dakota toady, with its more than 10
inches of rain since the first of July,
looks like a garden spot.
There has not been a good general
rain in southwestern Iowa this year,
In many places there has not been an
inch of rain since the first of June.
Pastures are dried to the roots, and
some of them must be entirely killed.
The fall blowing now being done re-
veals a soil dried to a great depth.
Wells in many places are going dry.
The editor was passenger on Rock
Island train last Thursday from Coun-
Gil Bluffs to DesMoines. At Atlantic,
the engine stopped for water, but the
railroad tank was so nearly dry that
it could not provide enough water u
supply the engine. 1t was necessary
to fill the tender from the city water
plant and this process consumed two
hours. The day before, passenger
trains carrying 5000 state fair visitors
were stalled for five hours because
the engine could not get water enough
to continue their journey.
The editor of the Argus-Leader
scanned the Iowa papers in vain for
any mention of these facts. He found
plenty in those papers about the ''dry
period" in South Dakota, but very lit
tie about Iowa, though it is the dry
est time in 81 years. Iowa is one OF
the best states in the union. but it
gets hit occasionally, and this is one
of the occasions. In spite of all the
brave talk to the. contrary, the cora
crop of Iowa is going to be a mighty
short one.

HARVESTING CORN
FOR MAKING SLAGE
Grain Should Not Be Gut Until
Kernels Are Glazed.

II ia OF great Importance to know at
cure the best results, writes W II
Jenkins in Country Gentleman. Nutrt
ment is stored up In the corn plant
rapidly as II approaches maturity.
When the corn is tasseled it contains
but eight-tenths OF a ton Of dry matter
per acre, or only one-ffth of what it
contains when fully ripe, When in the
milk 1t contains nearly three times as
much dry matter as when fully tas-
seled
Only about seventeen days nre occu-
pied in passing from the milk to the
glazing stage, yet In this time there IS
an increase In the dry mafter OF one
and three tenths tons per acre. This
shows the great advantage Of letting
the corn stand until the kernels are
glazed After this period the increase
In dry matter Is but slight,
Corn should not be cut until the ears
are out Of the milk and most Of the
kernels glazed and hard In case tho
weather has been so hot and dry th1t
the lower leaves have been fired, the
| corn should be cut before the ears are
| quite so far advanced. Much riper
corn will keep az the bottom Of the silo
better than at the top because Of the
greater pressure, which excludes the
air more completely
4 Though corn Is the most important =
Is by no means the only silaee crop.
Legumes, cereal hays, roots and sugar
beet pulp are all used for silage pur-
poses The great superiority OF corn
over roots az sIlsge crop IN this
country has resulted In discouraging
the growing OF nangels, turnips and
the like for this purpose
