IL the corn is cut while the fodder ia
still green and untouched by frost,
that is. as soon as the ears are well
glazed, and is cured in the shocks, the
fodder is of far more value for feeding
The most important and valuable
invention in the connection with the
corn crop in recent years has been
the invention of the silo, into which
the green corn is cut, preserved IN
succulent state for winter feeding ana
for tiding over drought in the sum
mer when the grasses fail in the pas.
lures. The silo is indispensable to
the breeder of either beef or dairy
cattle.
More corn brings into use the pas
lures and idle lands of the farms. 1t
is a basis for the cheaper food supply
for the masses. Therefore, the pro.
duction of an abundant supply OF corn
is one of the essentials of good farm
ing. The south will be prosperous
when the necessary corn is grown
within her borders
Where it is common only to gather
the grain and then turn the cattle into
the field to CLEAN the fodder, that,
standing in the frost had become prac'
tically worthless, the cattle ranging
over the soft and wet ground, puddle
the soil and do serious injury to 1t in
the future cultivation Then, too, the
land is left bare all winter and loses
fertility in winter rains, when 1t
should have the green cover crops Oh
1t at all times.
Modern machinery has greatly
lessened the labor of cutting and
shocking the corn. We now have ma
chimes to cut and bind the corn, and
we have the huskers and shredders
that separate the corn from the stover
and tear up the whole stalks and
leaves into such a shape that not only
is far larger portion eaten, but the
waste part is in such shape that 1t
makes valuable bedding.

IF HAIR is TURNING

Don't Look Old! Try Grandmother's
Recipe to Darken and Beautify Gray
Faded, LifeIess Hair.

Grandmother kept her hair beauti-
fully darkened, glossy and abundant
with a brew of Sage Tea and Sulphur.
Whenever her hair fell out or took on
that dull, faded or streaked appear
ance, this simple mixture was applied
with wonderful effect BY asking at
any drug store for "Wyeths Sage and
Sulphur Hair Remedy" you will get
large bottle of this old-time recipe,
ready to use, for about 80 cents. This
simple mixture can be depended upon
to restore natural color and beauty
to the hair and is splendid for dan
druff, dry, itchy scalp and falling hair.
A well-known druggist says every
body uses Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur,
because 1t darkens so naturally and
evenly that nobody can tell it has been
applied-it's so easy to use, too You
simply dampen a comb or soft brush
and draw it through your hair, taking
one strand at a time. BY morning
the gray hair disappears; after an
other application or two, 1t is re-
stored to its natural color and looks
glossy, soft and abundant-Adv

wbv Iana Are Undersized.

Every one is eager to add Go his
fund of information concerning the
Japanese and there are not many lay
men who can tell why the Japs are
understood. Japanese surgeons have
made measurements of their army,
which show that the smallness of the
stature is due entirely to the legs. This
is no doubt due to the fact that from
childhood the Japanese practices an
unnatural way of sitting upon the legs.
When a Japanese child is old enough
to sit upon the floor his legs are bent
under him. This in time dwarfs the
growth of the limbs. Actual deform-
ity is less common among the peas
ants than among students, merchants
and others of sedentary habits. There
is no doubt the coming Japanese, who
are rapidly acquiring Occidental Gus
toms, will change this habit OF sitting
upon the feet.

DIVERSIFICATION ON
SOUTHERN FARMS
Corn Crop Peculiarly Adapted to
Soils in the South.
IMPORTANT CROP IN SOUTH
No Such Risks From Frosts as Menace
Farmers Of so-called Corn Belt
Only Necessary TO Pulverize
Soil to Absorb Moisture.
Cpv q. n. ALFORDl

The long seasons Of the south make
IL peculiarly adapted to the cultiva-
ton of the corn crop, since there is
never any risks from early frosts
catching corn as there is In a large
part of what is now termed the corn
belt The rainfall is sufficient to pro
duce maximum crops and 1t is only
necessary to pulverize the soil and
fill it full of vegetable matter and
plant food for from to 10 inches
deep so that it will absorb the rain
and conserve the soil water by fire.
quent and shallow cultivation.
Fertile soil and good seed are es-
sential to success in corn growing,
but without thorough preparation of
the soil before the seed is planted we
have no right to expect a good crop
of corn. If we will only give our lands
the preparation that the farmers In
the central west give their lands we
can, by reason of climatic conditions
and natural fitness for the crop, easily
beat them in production, and the doing
of this is not question of mere appli-
The results of the experiment sta
lions seem to indicate that at the usual
price of corn and commercial fertil-
izers, the profitable production of corn
upon commercial fertilizers Is almost a
hopeless undertaking, unless the corn
crop is grown in a systematic rotation
with nitrogen-gathering crops. The
Georgia station says: That at pres
ent prices of commercial fertilizers
they cannot be used with profit. The
Ohio station states: I'm no case has
the increase in the crop been sufficient
to pay cost of fertilizers" The Vir-
ginia station says: ''In no instance
did the nitrogen application give a
gain equal to its cost"
An application of a medium amount
of the fertilizer on average land Will
usually pay a profit. Barnyard ma
nure is a valuable fertilizer. 1t in
creases the amount of available fer
tility in the soil, adds humus to the
soil and improves the mechanical con-
ditions.
The average yield of corn in the
south is about Is bushels. 1t is an
easy crop to improve in yield and in
quality. The yield to an acre can
easily be doubled with very little in
crease in labor or expense by plant
ing better and more prolific seed in ad-
dition to increasing the fertility of the
soil and by better methods of prepare
ton and cultivation.
The variety should be adapted to
the conditions of the soil and climate
in which it is grown. There is no crop
grown that is so much influenced by
being transferred from north to
south of the section where the corn
is to be grown. Therefore, we should
, avoid sending north or south of our
latitude for seed, but should take at
the start the best corn attainable that
has been long grown in our latitude
and through careful selection, year
after year, bred up.
The average corn grower ploWs,
plants and cultivates one-fourth to
one-third of his corn acreage without
receiving anything for his labor. This

is because of the vacant hills and bar
rem stalks attributable to poorly Sc
lected seed.
The method OF planting must be
adapted to the section and nature of
the land. Where the soil is high and
dry soil, or where very dry weather
is likely to prevail during the grow
ing season, planting corn in the water
furrow is probably best. The soil
can be gradually worked to the corn.
Where the land is we'll drained, 1t is
generally best to plant the corn on a
level so that fiat, shallow cultivation
may be practiced to the best ad-
vantage. On wet lands, 1t is usually
best to plant on beds and give the
corn ridge cultivation.
The result of the experiment sta
lions seem to indicate that 1t makes
no particular difference in yield
whether the corn is planted in hills
or in drills.
The distance apart in rows and
drills must be settled for each To-
cality and each particular soil. The
amount of moisture and fertility of
the soil must be considered in de-
Gliding the distance in the drill. Where
the soil is light and dry, weather us
ually dry during the growing season,
best results are generally obtained by
having the rows four or five feet
apart. with one stalk every three feet

SUMMER CARE OF THE EGGS
Practice of Holding Product for High
err Market Price In Autumn Re-
suits In Serious Loss.

CBy N. e. CHAPMAN, Extension Poultry
Specialist. University Farm. st. Pau.
Mimi
In the summer months, eggs should
receive the same care and cOns1dera-
ton as sweet milk and cream, and be
marketed daily, if possible. They
should not be exposed to draughts OF
warm air, and should be protected
from the rays of the sun and from
moisture, in handling, marketing and
shipping. The common practice OF
holding eggs for higher market price
in autumn results in poor quality and
serious loss instead of gain. Under
ordinary farm conditions, eggs should
never be held. The farmer, however,
is not the only one responsible for the
shrunken eggs on the market. Coun-
try merchants have been equally
blamable for the annual loss.
A fresh egg will absorb odors as
readily as fresh milk Mustiness or
moldy growth in egg cases or filters
will faint the egg and lower its quail
ity.
Eggs should not be stored in musty
cellars, or in rooms with fruit, vege'
tables or fish.
The flock should never be allowed
to drink filthy water, be fed musty
grains or strong-favored vegetables
as onions and garlic, or given access
to decaying meat or substances that
will flavor the product and impair its
quality.
