MODERN METHOD OF FARMING
Virginia Farmer Demonstrates Ia
Knows How to Utilize All Mate

by c. NJ. SCHULZD

| one or the most progressive farm
ers the writer knows lives IN Vir.
ginia. about twenty miles from Rich
mond. on the James river. He farms
about 700 acres and no better farm
ing Is done anywhere. even In the
cracked states OF the North. This
southern farmer long ago abandoned
corn thinning and adopted crop rota
ton and every other modern method
OF farming and always with excellent
results
When he bought his corn shredder
several years ago the neighbors we're
inclined to poke fun at him, but be
tells how II helped him in this way:
His corn crop runs between 10 and
so bushels per acre He cut every
stalk and run IL through the shredder.
Keeping a careful account OF the cost
OF work he figures that IL does not
exceed the ordinary gathering and
cribbing cost, so that be gets a ton
or fodder for a dollar. and be esti-
mates that to be worth at least one
half as much as timothy hay. He
says that II he can get 81 worth or
good fodder by the investment of 81
he is very well satisfied.
He uses this shredded fodder with
clover. cowpeas and alfalfa and in
this way doubles it's value He claims
that this shredded fodder fed in this
way keeps his cows and calves in first.
class condition all winter and besides
he can raise all the feeders for which
he can produce corn and does 1t more
cheaply than to go upon the market
and buy them.
This southern farmer has demon.
strated that he knows how to make
the best possible use OF all the mate
rial from his corn farm and 1t Is sur.
prising that more farmers in the great
corn belt OF the north do not follow
such methods. Millions of tons of
good corn fodder are allowed to go to
waste every year either by standing
in tho field after the corn Is husked
out or In the shock until March only
to be ruined by snow and rain. Even
II allowed to remain on the ground
to be plowed under they are of little
value compared with our southern
farmers method Of using them

Familiar to Him,

Judge Clayton of Alabama tells Of a
case in a court of that state in which
the first witness called was an aged
colored man.
Before he was sworn the presiding
magistrate directed that the usual
question be put to the fellow. DO
you know the nature of an OATH"
The old colored man shifted himself
from one foot to the other before re-
plying. A sly grin crept into his face

Poor Excuse,

Thomas Mott Osborne, warden OF
Sing Sing, said at a luncheon in New
port:
This laying of all ones crimes and
transgressions at the door of heredity
disgusts me. II we sin, we ourselves
are to blame. To blame heredity is
false and foolish.
These heredity planners are like the
chap who said to the dun:
I'VE can't escape domination OF
early-formed habits. In my infancy
my parents hired a young nursemaid
to wheel me about in a baby-coach.
And ever since that distant time, alas.
l have been pushed for money"

CARING FOR POOR PRODUCTS


Many cooperative selling associa.
tons have been unable to hold their
members together because they insist
upon handling only the best of their
products. and leave them to dispose
OF the lower grades as best they can
The growers eventually become dis.
gusted with such conditions. and sell
their crop where they can get the
most money.
II cooperation Is to bring about bet.
ter results and secure a more even
grading and classification OF farm
products. II must provide means for
taking care of the poorer grades of
stun produced In the locality.

Absurd Medical Beliefs.

Even in the seventeenth and eight
eenth centuries there was a belief that
dead bodies had medicinal virtues and
mummies were obtained and ground
to powder for making brews and
broths and terrible decoctions. II was
said that the mummies for this indus
try we're obtained in Egypt.
