Expensive and WastefuI Practice With
Cornstalks, Straw, Chaff, Etc.
A contributor to Farm and Fireside
writes: - ~
"A tendency exists among many
farmers to burn up all cornstalks, loose
straw. clover chaff and superfuous
roughage about the place. But it is
too expensive.
EVERY time an acre Of stalks is
burned twenty-one pounds of nitrogen
20 into the air, and it i'll cost you
$3.50 to buy it back again. Wheat or
oat straw from an acre contains about
twelve to fourteen pounds of nitrogen
and clover chaff three times this
amount. .-
lone can easily figure from these
deductions what reckless loss to the
farm is fire in the chaff pile or stalk
field. The cutaway and disk harrows
will chop these bulky materials up

turned under. If you want to fatten

USE ALL THE CORN.
SiIo Makes Available Feeding Value Of
Stalk 40 Well as Ear. "

Stalk a. well as Ear. 49,
BY the use of the siO and harvesting
the corn plant for sila sc the feeding
value of the plant is Increased from
$40 to ST. per acre. 1t is estimated
that 60 per cent of the feeding value Of
the corn plant is in the ear of corn and
40 per cent is in the stalk:
If a field of corn which would make
forty bushels per acre is harvested in
the. usual way of gathering the corn
and leaving the stalk stand we have
harvested only 60 per cent of the crop
The forty bushels Of corn at so cents
per b,lshel are worth $50, but if the
stalks have two-thirds the feeding
value of the grain the stalks are worth
from $40 to SD or $15 per acre. de-
pending upon the quality Of the crop
and the condition they are in when
harvested for silage.
If the stalks are left in the field they
have a feeding value of from 81 to
$3.50 or $3.50 per acre. This decreased
value Of the cornstalk when left in
the field is due to the fact that when
the stalk is left standing it loses its
moisture and the fiber becomes hard.
woody and indigestible.
It is therefore evident that to obtain
the maximum feeding value of the
corn crop it should be harvested and
made into silage and that the use Of
the silo will increase the feeding value
Of the corn plants from $40 to SIP per
acre.-Roy c. Potts, Department of

PLANT BREEDING ON FARM.

The cry is becoming more gen.
eral for better seeds. How are
we to get them? As the situa-
ton is. says correspondent OF
the American 'Agriculturist. l
believe the answer to the ques-
ton is to breed them ourselves.
We often see in horticultural
and agricultural periodicals ar
ticles that have a tendency to
throw a wet blanket over this
proposition. claiming that seed
breeding is business Of its own.
requiring special training to do
it properly. This may be true,
viewed from a scientific stand
point. and yet there are few
market gardeners or truck farm
ers who cannot breed and grow
what seeds they require for their
individual paintings.

No Need Being Old or
Wrinkled Before rs

Lillian Russell says any woman who
has wrinkles before she's seventy five
is herself responsible for them. Sun
shine and fresh air she considers more
valuable as complexion preservers than
nostrums and cosmetics.
The chief objection to cosmetics is
that at best they only temporarily COW
er up defects. There are certain true
aids to Nature, which may be applied
with directly opposite effect. Ordinary
mercoliZed wax. for instance, actually
removes a bad or oldish complexion. by
gradually. almost imperceptibly, peel
ing OF the worn-out scarf skin. Just
one ounce. procurable at any drug
store, will soon unveil an entirely new
and natural complexion, with an ex-
quisite girlish color. OF course, cutane-
Gus blemishes. like pimples. freckles,
fine lines, moth patches. liver spots. dis
appear with the discarded skin.
To prevent or remove wrinkles, a
face bath which also produces natural
results. Is made by dissolving an ounce
of powdered saxolite in a half pint
witch hazel This is Immediately ef-
fective and gives no untoward after
effect.
