DEPTH OF CORN CULTIVATION
Is Matter on Which There Is Not Per-
feet Agreement---SolI Conditions
Materially Influence.

The depth to which corn may be cul.
tivated. especially in dry areas, is q
matter on which there Is not perfect
agreement. Soil conditions materially
influence this question. Usually shall
low cultivation only Is recommended
and as 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 stiff 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, as the lateral roots Of the
corn will have pushed out far from
the plants and not far from the sur
face. If 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-
quently occurs in the west when a
crust forms below the linsHQf the shall
low cultivation. This cit may be
lower than some 81 the lateral roots.
This brings up the question, will the
corn suffer most by breaking the lat
eral roots when breaking the crust or
by leaving the crust unbroken. The
best authorities favor the breaking up
OF the crust. and doubtless they are
right. This can only be done by send
Ing the cultivator down deep enough
to accomplish the end sought.
There is also difference OF opinion
as to when cultivation shall cease. It
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, as 1t has to be done with one
horse cultivator. When thus man.
aged, 1t may be continued until the
forming of the ears.
The objects sought In such late cul-
tivatton are two-fold. The first object
Is to maintain the covering of loose
earth SO as 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. A corn crop will not result In
all the benefit that may result from
growing 1t. unless 1t is kept perfectly
clean.

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-the
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 indigestible, as
In straw. Fat serves the same pur-
pose In the animal body as starch; 1t
Is more concentrated, having ~

POULTRY NOTES.

Give the hen the proper material
and she will lay all right.
Some form of dry animal food is q
satisfactory food for egg 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 50 to 100
chickens successfully before trying
many more.
Beef scrap is probably the best and
most convenient substitute for meat
that can be used.
1t is the little details that make the
difference between success and failure
in poultry raising
The presence of cockerel 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
must scratch among the straw. hens
get necessary exercise.
1t may be truthfully said that, under
the same conditions, eggs will keep
fresh no longer than milk will keep
sweet.
Fowls will do something toward bal
ancing their own rations, and they
will take more or less exercise II they
have the chance. tn-
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 a
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

ment he is helped to his feet. II

straint and guidance he will never

Experience has proved that no
stock Is equal to willow when dur
able baskets are demanded. The
high-class basket has made place
for itself In the market even under
present circumstances, and the entire
decline in the trade has been in the
low priced basket. which competes
with the foreign willow product or the
American made wooden basket.
To put low priced basket on the
market with raw willow at Its present
price the wages must be cut lower
than the normal standard In America.
For this reason the trade is almost
entirely In the hands of immigrant
basket makers. who know no other
trade and who are seldom or never
reinforced by native workmen.
The remedy lies in reduction in
the cost OF the raw material The
cheaper the willow (when good in
quality the better the wages which
can be paid to produce a low priced
basket, and low priced basket of
good quality will find an almost un-
limited market On this point the en-
tire trade agrees.
Great care should be taken in the
selection of the willow bed Rich,
permanently moist sandy loan gives
best returns. though ordinary moist,
sandy land often yields profitable
crops Of willow.
Plow 10 or IL inches deep in the
fall. prior to planting the following
spring. This turns the top layer OF
the soil SO deep that weed seeds cam
not spring up.
Returns depend very largely upon
the method Of culture. but more upon
the variety Of willow planted. because
the shoots Of even the best varieties
and In the most suitable soil grow
brittle after the stools become old.

VAILSBURG RESIDENTS
OBJECT TO ASSESSMENT.
Levy for Sewer Is Held to Be
Unjust.

The Citizens Protesting Association
of Vailsburg Is going to protest the
sewer levy for that section. The Pro-
testing Association held a vigorous
meeting last night in Union Hall, South
Orange avenue, and declared that it
wouldn't pay toward a piece of work
that had already been declared the
city's burden by the courts II special
cases and then 1t put down the money
for a firm of lawyers, Riker & Riker,
to battle the assessment to the SUI
preme Court of the United States.
The Vailsburg residents paid taxes on
the sewer before Vailsburg was an
nexed and then didn't protest that the
city should take the load off and give
them back their money when Vailsburg
became a part of the big town. Those
who did protest as they paid the tax
now have a judges decision to force
the city to, pay them back. But 1t is
pointed OUT that 1t is just as unfair to
insist upon keeping the tax from those
who did pay without protest, and the
new lawsuit the professors are about
to start is based upon the proposition
that the city having annexed Vailsburg
Is responsible for all it's debts owing at
the time. The executive committee of
the professors is to hold a meeting to-
morrow at Charles F. zeigler's office,
80 Clinton street.
