LIME FAvoRs CLOVER.

Trouble with clover has probably
done more than anything else to direct
attention to the need of lime in tilis
state. 1t was evident, of course, that
something must be wrong when trou
bles with grass were encountered on
lands that formerly ran to blue grass,
and the cause of the trouble would
doubtless have been recognized long
ago but for the generally accepted
teaching that such lands We're
simply worn out" Failure with
alfalfa were accepted as mat
ter of course. Alfalfa belonged to the
arid West; it liked dry feet. The
clovers, fortunately, were understood
t. be lime-loying plants; and, as farm
ers were persuaded to enlist the serv
ices of these greatest of soil builders,
Indifferent results came to be ac-
counted for in terms of the lime.
Alfalfa is growing luxuriantly in this
state. Starting with some of our sour
soils, the quantity of lime required for
success with alfalfa will often appear
to be rather large; but it is not as
.arge as many farmers have been led
believe. B. H. HlTE,

CORN EAR WORM.

Hundreds of farmers, in every corn,
growing section Of the United States,
are losing considerable corn by the
corn ear worm A large amount Of
sWeet corn and corn grown for seed
is damaged by it.
The corn ear worm lives in the
ground, in the pupal stage, during the
writer and great many of them may
be destroyed by thorough fall cultiva'
ton This method is most effective
when practiced by whole community,
as the moths fly for considerable dis
tances, and eliminating them from a
single field does not solve the problem
If the crop be- sweet corn or field
corn that is grown for seed or other
special purposes it may be protected
by busting with powdered arsenate OF
lead at the time when the silks first
appear and three or four times there
after at intervals of about five to ten
days, depending upon the weather
This is the same insect that some
times feeds upon tomatoes, beans and
other garden crops, and here the
arsenate Of lead busting IS effective.

the box almost full of sawdust, sand

(See cut) Number these squares or

Each one is to represent one ear, and
fifteen large ears will seed an acre,

corn and place the box in a warm
room and everything is ready to begin
to assign your ears to their test field
First take some little square pieces Of
cardboard or paper and number them
same as the fields are numbered and
pin or tie one tag to each ear. An
ordinary pin can be used to pin them
to the pith of each cob, then the ears
can be piled up and the numbers read
or each ear Next take or 10 kernels
frcm different parts of ear No. 1 and
plant in Field No. 1. They can be
easily and quickly removed with a
knife and this avoids the danger of
planting an ear good on one end but
spoiled or dead on the other end
Place each six kernels in their field,
keep the box moist and warm for five
or six days. Care must be taken not to
let any side or corner dry out or be-
come too hot. The living room can
be used If it is kept warm enough at
night to prevent house plants from
freezing. Try to have conditions as
good as they would be in the field at
planting time. If six perfect stalks are
not found in each square, throw away
the ear Of the same number as the
square when stand is not perfect. You
would not want to plant but five.
sixths of your land, as you would
be doing if one grain failed to grow.
Throw out all inferior ears. Covering
of the box with a cloth the first few
days prevents drying out. Some peo-
pie have planted the kernels between
pieces of cloth, the under one being
marked off in squares with pencil.
DO you know about what per cent
of your ears are perfect? Last year,
out of large number of samples test
ed at the West Virginia Experiment
Station, the average termination was
about Sc per cent and ranged from 100
per cent to as low as per cent.
These samples were from farmers in
all parts of the state, and can be con-
sidered the average of the conditions.
Unless the corn was planted very thick
and thinned to perfect stand, We may
then assume that there was Al per
cent of the entire corn land of the
state unused last year, but cultivated
at cost of over ten dollars per acre,
a total loss of thousands of dollars
If only one ear is found which will
not grow, you have found how to get
a perfect stand on one-ffteenth of an
acre, which you would have cultivated
at a total loss, it costing you near one
dollar, at the rate of SIS, per acre, for
growing a crop, which is near the aver
age cost in this state If you should
plant this one-ffteenth acre and get a
good stand, it should yield near bush
els of corn, worth about three dollars.
This would make it worth four dol
lars to you to know that the bad ear
was in your seed corn. For four dol
lars one can test about fifteen bushels
of seed corn, or enough to plant one
hundred acres of corn. That is count
ing two dollars PEP day for ones work.
There is not a man in the United
States who can select five bushels of
seed corn and be certain that each ear
will show perfect termination. Test
your seed corn, because-it is easier
than thinning a field that is planted
too thick, and because it will give you
a money return greater than any other
equal amount Of time that you will put
In on your corn crop.

This will provide ample shelter from

The front Of the shed should be feet
high. In other words, just as low as
possible and still permit team being
driven, under which will be found most
convenient in removing the manure.
Careful study should be given to the
matter of feeding. The two features
that involve the greatest amount of
consideration are, first, the most eco
nomical use Of the feeds at hand and,
second, the cost per head during the
winter On the average farm there is
large amount of roughage, for which
a profitable market can not be found,
due to it's low-feeding value and bulki
ness. These feeds can be fed to l.
greatest advantage on the farm where
they are produced and marketed in the
form of live stock. This is not only
cheaper and more profitable method
Of marketing the products of the farm,
but will also aid in retaining the fertil-
ity of the soil The feeds should be
fed SO as to make as nearly bal
anced ration as possible. Feeds rich
in carbohydrates and fats, in compar-
ison to the relative amount Of protein,
toI, chr ci1 or
should be combined with cottonseed,
cottonseed meal or linseed meal or
some other feeds which are relatively
rich in protein.
Corn is one of the leading produc-
lions of this state, and, since it costs
more to produce an acre or bushel Of
corn in this state than it does in the
corn belt, it is necessary that the farm
er uses the corn that he does produce
to the best advantage. Profitable re-
suits may be obtained by making silage
of the corn and feeding it,
Bulletin No. 118, issued by the Penn
sylvania State College, reports that
they fed one pound of cottonseed meal
and all the corn silage the COWS would
eat, which was 5764 pounds per day,
to breeding COWS during the winter
months The results were as follows:
These cows made an average daily
gain of lit pounds, and the total cost
for feeding each COW for 140 days was
$16.13. This was for the winter months
of 1911 and 1912, which was one of the
most severe winters we have expert,
enced for some years. After gaining
this amount through the winter
months, these cows were turned out
on grass pastures, without grain, and
after being on pasture for two months
had more than held their weight. The
cattle men Of this state would find 1t
very profitable to feed one pound OF
cottonseed meal per head per day and
just enough corn silage to keep the
cattle in. good, thrifty condition. and
gaining from one-half to three-quarters
of pound per head per day. This is
for yearling and two-year-old steers,
as the three-year-old steers do not
necessarily need to be kept gaining all
winter, but should not lose weight.
