WHY CROPS RUN OUT.

The question is often raised as to
whether crops run out" or not. To
say that crops do not run out" would
be to deny that any variations are pro-
duced by changed conditions or envi-
ronment. When plants are brought
into new conditions OF soil. climate
or methods Of farming less favorable,
they will tend to deteriorate or run
out"
Desirable QuaIitiea Suffer First Un.
der UnfavorabIe Conditions. If corn
Is planted too thick (seven or eight
stalks per hill) large yield of foil
age will be obtained, but the yield of
grain will be small. Under unfavor-
able conditions the plant tends to re-
vert to it's original condition, and the
particular thing for which the plant
is grown and which gives it value suf-
fers first and most.
Best Methods Necessary. It is only
by the best methods of seed selection
and Of cultivation that the farmer can
hope to maintain the valuable qualities
Of his crops. otherwise they will dete.
riorate or run out" and it will be nee
essary for him to secure seed from
someone who has paid more attention

II every ear Of corn intended for
planting was harvested at the proper
time and properly stored, millions of
dollars would be added to the value of
the corn crop.
Fig. l. Harvesting the Seed Corn
for Next Years Planting.-Every ear
OF corn intended for planting should
be harvested before the severe fall
freezes, and stored where it will dry
out and keep dry. In Iowa and the
northern half Of Illinois this work
should be done the last ten days OF
September and the first four or five
days ofOctober. Frozen seed corn costs
the country millions OF dollars every
year.
A Convenient Method of Gathering
the Seed as One Passes Between the
Rows.-Use an ordinary two-bushel
grain sack; wooden hoop from a
nail key is put in the top of the sack.
Some heavy cord. IA inches long
(binding Irvine doubled several times)
Is tied to one of the bottom corners
OF the SACK the other end of the cord
is then brought over the shoulder
and tied to the hoop in the top of the
sack. The cord is wrapped with an
old sack to prevent the string cutting
the shoulder.

One Of the very best methods for
gathering the seed is to go into the
best and earliest planted fields with
bags and select we'll matured ears
from the most vigorous stalks. The
cut shows a convenient way to ar
range sack so that you may have
both hands free for picking.
You must not fail to consider the
stalk In selecting your seed, for it
takes large, thrifty stalks to produce
good big ears. 1t is not a good plan
to take the ear from a stalk that
grew in hill by itsel" or from one
in the hill with q barren or veal
stalk. Many OF the kernels on such
an ear are likely to be pollenized by
the barren or weak stalk.
Choose Ears OF o Medium Height
II you select the highest ears your
corn will gradually become late, and
II you select the lowest ears you will
soon have an early corn with shallow

Wage War Against Hog Cholera

The season of the year Is approach
ing when hog cholera usually becomes
more prevalent than at any other time
OF the year. There are several reasons
for this. however. which may be avoid
ed by the farmers using proper meth
DDS of swine management.
| Since 1T IL the farmers Job to- control
and eradicate hog cholera he should
herd in a good physical condition and
free from disease Some principles
which every swine raiser should put
into practice are: Clean and disinfect
all the lots and pens with plenty of
fresh Stacked lime. quarantine all sick
hogs into close quarters where no 9TH
err animals come in contact with them
burn every carcass on the farm i'm
mediately, quarantine all hogs brought
onto the farm for twenty-one days, do.
not visit farms where hogs are sick,
do not permit parties travelling over
the country to enter your hog lots sas
they are apt to carry infection to your
herd. guard against all sources Of in
fection carriers such as stray dogs,
pigeons and all other birds.
There are two sources OF cholera
which are most dangerous, the sick
hog and the dead hog. BY quarantine
ing the sick hog. and burning the dead
hog and thoroughly disinfectinr the
premises further spread OF the disease
may be avoided.
The hogs should be free from para
sites as they lower the resistance Of
the animal. In case the hogs are in

Up Where It Will Dry Out and
Keep Dry.-When the Last Ear
is laid in, one end of the string
is slipped under the string in the
other hand, and fastened.
Tie and hang up the seed the same
day or evening that 1t is brought in.
This method Of tying up allows free
circulation Of air. 1t is circulation OF
air. not heat. that is needed to dry
out the seed. Corn commonly contains
at this time from 30 to As per cent of
water. It requires but few minutes
to tie up 300 or 400 ears.
Fig. 4.-Experiments show that the
attic or some upstairs room where
the windows can be opened to give
circulation of air during October and
November. is the best place to hang
seed corn. A space three by eight feet
will hold 200 strings of seed corn like

fatal if frost Injuries the corn this
fall.
When the harvest is on and you
begin to gather the crop, you can
not tell which ears ,natured car
ly and would be likely to pro-
duce an early crop that will avoid
frost next year. You are too
busy to study seed ears, anyhow,
when trying to put as many
bushels as possible INTO the crib
each day.
Only in the field is it possible
to know whether an ear is large
because it was produced on the
only stalk in the hill and SO had
more than its share of sunshine
and plant food. Careful expert
ment station tests have shown
that the ears which are good in
spite Of having been grown on
poor soil and in q somewhat
crowded stand are more product
i've than those on highly fertile
fields or in thin stands.
Only in the field can You tell
whether the ear was too higl. or
too low on the stalk and whether
it stood SO erect that the fall
rains would enter the husks and
spoil the ear. Ears that stand al.
most erect will be materially in

A very pleasant day was passed May

The crowd gathered about ten, and
as usual, under cimilar circumstances,
found the object OF their surprise
totally unprepsred, but none the less
surprised and pleased.
The morning was spent in swinging
aud conVersing IN general until about
| O'Clock when delightful dinner was
served on the grounds, after which .
short enjoyable program was rendered
consisting of music, both vocal and in
strumental, Mrs. Pickett, Miss Riddle.

We departed very reluctantly about
Q O'Clock but wishing Miss Riddle

FOR A NEW STOMACH

II IS said that one of Americas best known
multi-millionaires-a man who ruined his di-
gestion in the pursuit of wcath-stated that
he would pay million dollars for new
stomach.
But, while surgeons have become very
skilliul in performing operations that were
once considered impossible, nobody has
stepped forward and offered to sell his 5tom-
ach TO that millionaire. Your stomach is
worth more than million dollars to you. 1t
is LIFE to you.
This milionairc's stomach is so ruined by
abuse that it can never be made "as good as
new" by any medicine. But YOUR stomach,
u properly aided NOW can be restored to its
normal condition.
If YOU suffer from indigestion, "heart-
burn" gas in stomach, foul breath, sense OF
fulness after eating, sour stomach, and will
act NOW instead of delaying longer, you
can get PROMPT relief.
