been averaged, and while these aver
ages should not be taken as indicating
the minimum or maximum amount of
work that should be accomplished on
any individual farm, they are of serv-
ice in enabling the farmer to judge
the rate Of work, and also to lay out
his work so as to give enough time
for each operation. While CD some
farms the average may be exceeded,
in many cases, it will be somewhat
high, but at any rate the average can
be used on the average farm in fig
uring the least amount of time that
should be allowed. Of course, in u.s.
ing such averages due weight has to
be given to the fact that rainy wealth
er may interfere with the harvesting
campaign, and allowance must be
made for such operations.

erage acreages harvested with bin

Feared 1t Killed Stock.

Red mold, which has been found
forming IN silos Missouri and other
states. has been pronounced nonpoi-
sonous by scientists of the agricultU-
raj department of the University of
Missouri. Several farmers feared il
was killing their stock.
The mold is caused by the silsge not
being sufficiently packed. 1t is also
caused by silage being put away too
dry. A similar mold is used by Chi

Harvesting Corn by Hand
The tables given below, which show
a normal days work when harvesting
is done by hand with the ordinary
corn knife. are interesting for COM
parison with the result accomplished
with machinery. Where corn is cut,
shocked and tied by hand, increases
in yield add to the bulk of stalks and
reduce the acreage cut daily The av-
erages indicate that from IA to 1t
acres can be harvested daily by one
man. In tying and shocking corn, the
average indicates that a man can
cover from three to five acres, depend
ing on the yield.
The following table shows the av-
erage for a normal days hand work in
harvesting corn:

on the yield Where corn is husked
continuously from standing stalks,
about 60 per cent more can be husked.
Where one man husks, hauls and UNI
loads from standing stalks, it is seen
that corn can be husked about 25 per
cent more rapidly than can be done
from shocks piled on the ground.
