according to this investigation, corn
planting begins simultaneously.
Corn planting is first observed on
the chart about February Is of nor
NAL years, the first planting taking
place in southern Florida and Texas.
Fifteen days later corn planting
Is observed in northern Florida.

and by May Is the movement had
progressed as far north As southern
Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont,
central New York, northern Wiscon.
sin, Minnesota and North Dakota.
The curves in the lines OF the chart
are a significant feature. They indi-
cate the result of influences cxcrted
upon planting by topography, soil
conditions, rainfall and latitude
Sometimes one set of Influences pre-
walls, sometimes another. Again, sew
eral combined Influences may be coun-
terbalanced, as 1t were, by one con-
trolling influence. For instance, the
lines In western Kansas and Nebras-
ka bend slightly northward, instead
of abruptly southwark, as would be
expected in view of their greater al
tltude. The counterbalancing infiu-
ence In this case is believed to be the
character Of the soil which, in the
western portion OF these states, is
sandy and therefore readily dries out
and quickly warns up in spring. The
influence Of the Great Lakes Is
shown In the sinuous line bearing
date May 10.
The air temperature at which corn
planting begins in actual practice has
not heretofore been established, but
from data assembled in the study OF
cereal crops 1t Is believed to be ap-
proximately IS degrees Fahrenheit,
except in certain localities, where the
mean daily normal temperature does
mot fall so low as IS degrees Fahren-
heit.

FIGHT ON TURKEY PARASITES
Younosters Must Be Protected From
Excessive Heat and OamPnsss'
Says Government Bulletin.

No kind of young poultry Is so sus-
ceptible to the effects Of unfaVoraple
conditions as the young turkey. lhey
must be carefully protected from the
attacks of parasites, and from excess
siye heat and dampness, says a gov
eminent bulletin, until they have
gained sufficient strength and size to
wander away with the parent tur-
keys and care for themselves on the
range.
The chief danger from lice and
mites attacks to the poults is direct
ly after the poults are Matched, but
the best remedy is to deal with the
hen before the young are Matched.
The plumage OF the hen should be
busted With insect powder, and close
down to the skin from head to hook
joint, being careful not to get 1t into
the eyes This should be done at
least twice week until two or three
days before Matching.
The most careful attentions should
be given to this. Never use lime or
sulphur for this purpose. Nothing IS
better than some insect powder, if 1t
does not contain ingredients that are
injurious to the eyes.
1t may often occur, however, that
the hen will not have been properly
treated, and also the lice and mites
will be found on the young, and in
order that the poults may live and
thrive, they must be freed Of thees
ene..ies. AS soon as the young are
re-. dy to leave the nest they must be
. examined carefully for lice, which
may be on the top Of the head, under
| the throat or about the wings. or
vent Some of them are gray in color
and difficult to see.
They may be destroyed by the use
Of sweet Gil, rubbing a small amount
| upon the head and throat; insect pow
! der is sufficient for the other parts
/ CT tie body 1t is very important
! that cr:v Il small amount Of the sweet
OF! be u.cd, as too much is injurious.
Kerosene should never be used tc
| destroy parasites.

Any farm is worth $40 per acre
more when 1t is we'll fenced and d.
vided into convenient fields and lots.
AS there Is more or less work and eX-
pense entailed In getting a good hog
tight fence in place, one should get
only the best material, and spend
more time in setting and stretching
than when the common barbed wire
Is used
Woven wire, even Of the 26-inch
width, exerts several times the strain
as that OF the three-strand barbed
wire, and the corner-posts must be oil
good size, and we'll braced.
Posts cut In the winter and allowed
to season till the summer before being
set Will be more satisfactory, but this
plan is not always practicable.
We have used posts rod apart on
our farm. but have learned from ex-
perience that that is too far and now
I am putting them II feet apart.
Set the corner or end posts first,
then drive the others In line between
them by stretching, a wire on the
ground. This wire must be stretched
tight; and in driving do not let the
! post touch the wire, as 1t would push
it out of line.
The work of getting ready" is the
most important item in making this
kind of fence. since a quarter OF a

how 10 take the proper precautions,
there is little or no danger. Anar-
chists, as matter Of fact, do not use
dynamite in mountaineering, and nei-
Their do burglars use it in cracking"
safes. What they use Is nftroglyver-
inc. There is an erroneous ana
widespread impression that a dyna-
mite cartridge will explode if dropped
On the ground or thrown against the
body of a person. The efforts OF the
government and the leading railroads
to perfect plans and methods for
draining the vast area of swamp now
covering millions of acres of rich,
verdant soil have directed the atten-
ton of the general public toward the
Importance OF increasing the cult
waited area Of the country.
The importance OF any farm, coun-
ty, state or nation, varies almost d.
rectly in proportion to the extent OF
its cultivated area. Many southern
states can be doubled in productive
area by proper drainage of swamps
and clearing of cut-oVer lands. The
area OF swamp and cut-oVer lands IN
this country is greatly in excess Of
the total cultivated area. Hence any
means of bringing these lands into
cultivable shape is of the highest i'm
portance.
If often happens that swamps and
marshy lands are caused by hard-pan
underneath. There Is no outlet by
which the water can run off and as
it cannot sink into the earth 1t stands
there, rendering the land useless and
breeding disease. BY using dynamite
these conditions can be removed.
The hafdpan is usually only few
feet below the surface of the marsh
top soil. With an extension auger a
hole Is bored to the bottom Of the
hardpan. Into this hole several dyna-
mite cartridges are lowered and
"tamped." The top cartridge Is
primed with blasting cap.
In ditching with dynamite the first
thing done is the locating Of the pro-
posed ditch. Then the width and
depth are decided on. Holes are
punched at intervals Of about two
feet along the course Of the center Of
the ditch. In each Of these holes a
cartridge Is dropped and "tamped"
in with some mud. A row Of ten cart
ridges is made $50 or 200 feet long
and only the center cartridge is
primed with fuse and blasting cap.
This method Of blasting, where only
the center cartridge Is primed, Is
only used in damp and compact soil.

Gate Well Braced.

The brace should not be less than
six inches In diameter. and squared at
| the ends.
There Is yet another way of bracing
| corner posts, to be commended for its
simplicity and low cost where timber
! is scarce. 1t Is best suited for back
| fences, where there Is no passing
around the corners.
This Is an anchor placed In line
| with the fence for an end post, but
where there is corner it Is midway
| between, or at an angle of 35 degrees
with either line.
A pit two feet deep and a foot wide
and four inches long is dug back six
feet from the post to be braced. A
log or chunk three feet long is buried
In the hole, two strands Of No. 8 wire
tied around the middle of 1t. then
secured to the top Of the posts.
When this log or dead man" as 1t
is called, is covered and we'll tamped.
the wire from 1t to the post should be
twisted till the post leans slightly
then when the wire Is stretched the
post will give sufficiently to put 1t
back straight.
One may think that this anchor
would pull up, but there Is no danger
il it is put in two feet, and the wall
of the pit straight down, or little
caved, with a notch cut In the hank
for the wire to make straight pull
toward the top of the post. This form
of brace tends to pull the post down
rather than up, as Is the case with
the other braces.
For yard fence where appearances
count for more than In other places,
the brace may be hidden. A hole Is
dug to the desired depth, being as
long as the distance between the posts

stretch the wire a month later, after
the posts have settled, and the wealth
er becomes warm.
There is considerable contraction
and expansion due to heat and cold,
so a fence stretched In midsummer is
more likely to remain tight. In
stretching the wire. always fasten the
stretcher to the end or corner post,
and not to some object beyond, just
because 1t is more convenient.
l have tried this and know that
unless the end posts receive the ten
sion when stretching. they will give as
soon as the strstcher Is removed. A
.stretcher with two levers, one at the
top and another at the bottom Is the
best type, since on uneven ground the
wire may be stretched to conform to
the surface.
The most important thing In the
construction oil 1crce Is having posts
we'll set, for without this 1t IS igDuS-
sible to stretch heavy woven wire.
Never try to stretch more than 40
rods at once. and If this is four-foot
wire it will require enormous tension.

drawn out of the wires. Nail to every

At last the American farmer has
found a new way of raising better
crops. He has put dynamite to an
agricultural use. With dynamite he
can blast stumps and boulders from
his land, he can drain marsh land and
make it disable, and he can improve
the earth so by shaking it up and max
ing it porous that trees, grain and
vegetables grow with phenomenal "a
pidity.
This new agricultural science has
been used extensively for only two or
three years. At first the farmer was
dubious and afraid Of dynamite. He
considered it a dangerous explosive,
used only by anarchists and safe
breakers. But the more progressive
members of the agricultural frater-
atty tried the "new-fangled scheme
and found il good. Crops were doubled
to the acre, trees planted in dyna-
mited ground spread their roots
through the loosened earth, drank il
the moisture and nourishment and
thrived wonderfully.
Experiments were made with corn
and other vegetables planted at the
same time in fields side by side, one
of which had been dynamited, the
other only plowed. The product in the
dynamited ground soon outstripped
the other.
Last year 100000 American farm
ers used dynamite. This year the eX-
perts tell US 100000 farmers will use
it. knowledge is growing. Conse-
quently new profession has sprung
up-that of the professional blaster
Many farmers want their fields dyna-
mited, but don't care to handle the ex-
plosive themselves. They would rath-
err employ an experienced man, skilled
in the use Of dynamite, to do the work
for them, even if it does cost little
more.
The professional plaster is a man
used to handling dynamite, who knows
how to explode it in the way that
1t will do the most good and no harm.
He frequently goes about the country,
advertising his coming beforehand i'll
rural newspapers. Often the branches
out, becomes a contractor and has
several crews of experienced blasters
under him. There are a great many
more young men learning agricultural
blasting in this country today than
there are learning to build aeroplanes.
Dynamite, while a dangerous explo-
sive, is not half as dangerous as most
persons think it. Handled by skilled
