the lower part of the engraving,
which is intended TO hold ordinary
milk crooks for feeding the calves. In
these crooks can be placed the skim
milk for the calves and with it any
grain ration that may be desirable to
give them. The particular stanchion
from which this picture was taken
was owned by man who had great
faith In Kaffir corn as a grain ration
for his calves. His custom was to
place the feed OF Kafir corn in the
crock with the milk, and let the
calves do the rest. These crooks are
easily emptied and easily cleaned,
while the calves are not using them
they can be left in place for the sun
shine to purify and cleanse.
The estimated cost OF this calf
stanchion where all materials must be
purchased, is about $3.50. This pro-
provides fer stanchion large enough
to accommodate six calves. though
the cut shows provision for only four.
Ot course. the stanchion can be made
as long or as short as may be desired
and on most farms the material nee
essary Is already at hand. In such
cases the cost would be nothing more
than the labor of construction. The
drawing is so clearly made that per.
haps no further details are necessary
about the method of building, and any
man who is handy with tools can con.
struct this stanchion in a very short
time and have 1t in operation.
The results of experimental work
in calf feeding at the Kansas ex.
pertinent station have been pub.
lished In the form of bulletins. and
may be had by addressing that insti

Considerable complaint is being
heard from many places in this state
about the prevalence of chinch bugs
They made their appearance in the
wheat and from there they have gone
into the corn fields, in some places
doing much injury, Some farmers
have raised the question whether they
should SOW wheat this fall because OF
the large number of bugs We would
say, yes, SOW wheat because climatic
conditions next season may be such
that there will be no chinch bugs
However, we would advise that all
rubbish and weeds along fences be
cleaned up, for the adult chinch bugs

Der the unsettled condition of the
country, the settlers, sulleness of the
Indians, in short, the condition of the
Custer campaign frequent alarms,
when the farmers and miners, with
their families, would abandon their
homes and crowd to the forts. Finally
the Colonel thought 1t unsafe and In
sisted on his wife returning to the
states. Accordingly with the courage
of pioneer, the bravery of a soldier
and theIfortitude Of Christian, she
started on the long, lonesome and
rather dangerous trip by army wagon

road and steam boat. Part of the way

PICK SEED CORN

New Corn Contains Much Moisture

Before Cold Weather.

Hanging in one of the cars of the

over Ohio railroads by the College Of
Agriculture, was a placard bearing
the words, Field Selection r Proper
Care=Good Seed Corn The idea
suggested by this wording is that in
order to have good seed corn at least
two things should be done, viz, the
seed ears should be selected early in
the fall, preferably from the standing
corn, and they should be cared for in
such a way as to be Thoroughly dried
before cold weather comes.
The usual way of selecting seed
corn is to go to the crib in the spring
and pick out the best looking ears.

some places sand or gravel lie only
a few feet below the surface. Man
needs to supply little or no assistance
TO remove free water, but whore the
soil is underlaid with a heavy clay,
hardpan, sand, or limestone rock, it
becomes necessary to assist nature.
II allowed to take its time the water
would follow small passageways to
some natural outlet, but the agrlcul.
turist can not wait. He resorts to dig
ding trench from two and half TO
three feet in depth and above the i'm.
pervious stratum; in this is placed
tile of a size necessary to carry away
rapidly the free water that rises
above the stratum Of hard clay or
rock. The function of the tile drain
Is not so much TO remove water as 1t
passes downward as II Is to carry
away water that rises In the soil to or
above the tile level. Since the roots
OF most plants that are of Importance
to the farmer will not develop a root
system in free soil water, the shallow
laying of the tile drain prevents the
development of a large root system
Deep laying of tile provides a large
feeding area for the roots. Deep
drainage and frequent shallow culti'
vation smile at droughts.

he may gain some idea of the best
methods of controlling ta.s pest.
Professor Herbert Osborn, of the
Ohio State University, gives the fol.
lowing: During the last of Septem.
Der and in October he females will
be found depositing eggs, a process
which may be easil" observed in al.
most any pasture. They select paths
or places where the earth is packed
quite hard by the tramping of stock {;
the abdomen is pushed down into the
earth, the sharp egg guides serving
as a sort of augur to bore into the
ground. The eggs are placed at a
depth of one-half to one inch beneath
the surface, and are held together in
a compact mass by a glutinous sub.
stance which hardens and serves as a
protective covering for the eggs dur.
ing the winter. The Matching OF the
eggs does not occur until May or June
of the coming season"
Fall or winter plowing will turn
these egg masses up where they will
freeze during the winter or eaten
by birds, chickens, etc. Disking, while
not as good as plowing, will also serve
to destroy grasshopper eggs.
Gragshoppers are never very numer'
Gus during a wet season, but if next
summer should be dry there is pretty
apt to be plenty of them, inasmuch as
they are so plentiful this summer.

and 10 pick ears from hills containing
three plants, or in drilled corn from
plants where there are no missing
stalks on either side. Select the ears
that answer all requirements an
mark the stalk or ear In some way so
that it will he recognized at husking
time. Perhaps the best way would be
TO wait until the corn is ready TO cut
then cut off the stalks that bear the
ears wished for seed, carry them to
the edge of the field and shock them
up until dry enough to husk. 1t should
be remembered that the ears should
not be broken from the stalks until
the stalks have matured, or the grain
will not be ripened properly.
No matter how carefully selected,
seed corn may be worthless unless
properly cured and stored. The par.
tcular method of storing does not
matter, all that Is necessary is that
the corn must be thoroughly dried be-
fore cold weather comes. New corn
contains large amount OF moisture,
and If it is allowed 20 freeze while In
that condition the terminating power
OF the kernel is destroyed. There Is
also great danger of corn, containing
great deal of moisture, heating and
molding, especially II piled together
SO there is a poor circulation of air.
For drying and storing seed corn a
room which AN be provided with a
circulation of air and located over a
kitchen is an ideal place. The ears
should be placed in racks or so sus
peaded from the ceiling that they will
not touch each other and will allow q
free circulation OF air so they
will thoroughly dry before freezing
