Corn Lessons For Country Schools.

Corn Lessons For Country Schools.
For the benefit of children in
rural schools suggestions for a Sc
ries of lessons on corn are about to
be issued by the department. The
average production per acre of corn
in the United States is still below
20 bushels per acre despite the fact
that in almost every section of the
country yields of more than 100
bushels have been obtained. The
difference indicates in a measure
the value of proper instructions in
growing corn. The spread of boys
corn clubs all over the country has
also emphasized the need of corn
study in rural schools.
The forthcoming bulletin con-
tains outlines of IL lessons cover
ing such important points as the
different kinds of corn. ways of
judging corn, seed, corn crop rota-
ton, best kind of fertilizers. proper
cultivation, and the food value of
the crop. Suggestions for the
proper observance of corn day have
received consideration. Rural
school teachers, especially in the
great corn-growing states. will find
the bulletin a valuable aid in the
work of stimulating in their CHARGES
a healthy interest in second aGri-
culture.
This bulletin will be published
under the title of Farmers Bulletin
No. GIT School Lessons on Corn"
and copies will be sent free as long
as the supply lasts.

When a Man is Really Poor.

When is a man poOr'" that
really and truly is a question
worthy of ones serious thought A
seemingly unknown and anonym-
Gus writer has coined a gem in an
answer, as follows:
When is a man poor" Manis
poor when he has lost the conf
dence of his friends, when people
who are nearest to him do not be-
lieve in him, when his character is
honeycombed by deceit and pune
tured by dishonesty. He is poor
when he makes money at the ex-
pense of his character, when he
does not stand clear out, supreme
in his idea. When this is clouded
he is in danger of the worst kind of
poverty To be in the poor house is
not necessarily to be poor. If you
have maintained your integrity, if
your character stands forth square
to the world. if you have never bent
the knee of principle to avarice.
you are not poor. tho you may be
compelled to beg bread"

Winter Care OF Ewes.
By Howard HaCkedorn

The winter care of the flock IS
just as important as the careful
cultivation of the corn crop. This
is the growing season of the lamb
crop TO be harvested in the spring
The Fed: The condition or the
amount of flesh the ewes are carry
ing must guide the feeder. Ewes
in good condition need not be fed
grain until about a month before
lambine, when they should gradu-
ally be accustomed to it. Ewes in
thin or poor condition should re-
ceive from one-fourth to one half a
pound of grain. Straight corn is
not the best grain ration. The grain
feed should contain some of the
blood and muscle building material.
A ration of 6 parts corn; 8 parts
wheat bran; 1 part linseed oil cake,
by weight, has proven very salts
factory at the Missouri Agricultural
Experiment Station. A ration of
corn, oats and bran, equal parts by
weight, can also be recommended.
The sheep should receive as
much clover or alfalfa hay as they
will eat. The amount of hay eaten
can be cut down by use of corn ST.
lage or corn stover. Two pounds
of clean, sweet corn silage can be
used TO replace about one pound of
hay. Well cured corn slower is al
50 relished by the ewes. Ordinarily
there is little danger of the sheep
eating too much of 1t if hay is fed
once a day The greatest danger OF
corn slower comes from making it
the exclusive feed. Under this con-
dition. compaction with other At
tendant troubles will often result.
Clean salt and water should
be kept before the flock.
Sheep should always have a dry.
well-bedded floor to lie on.
The flock should have sufficient
hay rack and grain trough room so
that all can eat at a time without
excessive crowding A complete
report of the work done by the Mis-
souri, Experiment Station with
breeding ewes is found in Bulletin
No. 100.

WINTER CARE OF BROOD sOWS
BY L. A. Weaver.

Proper care of the pregnant SOW
during the winter demands that at
tention be paid to three things,
namely: her feed, shelter and ex-
ercIse. Neglect any one of these
three essentials may mean failure
even though the other two be
watched carefully.
The most common mistake made
in feeding the brood SOW in winter
is to supply too much corn. Per-
haps not too many pounds of corn.
but the corn ration is not properly
supplemented with other feeds
There are several reasons why corn
should not make up the entire ra-
ton for brood sows. 1t does not
contain enough muscle and bone
building nutrients to supply the
needs of the brood SOW. It is con-
stipatine in its effect and does not
furnish bulk enough. 1t has a ten
dency to put on a large amount of
internal fat which is Injurious to
the pigs in utero. Corn should be
supplemented with a small amount
of some feed like tankage, linseed
oil meal, shipstuff, bran and the
like. Some good leguminous hay
such as alfalfa. clover, cowpea, etc.
also supplies the needed protein
bulk and produces the laxative
effect desired. At the Missouri
Agricultural Experiment Station
it has been possible to materially
decrease the cost of maintenance
by using such hays The same
end is being reached at the College
this season by the use of early sown
rye pasture.
This brings us to the question of
how to supply the necessary exer-
else. BY placing hays, such as
mentioned above. in racks and al
lowing the sows to eat at will, they
are induced to exercise. The same
thing is, of course. true if the sows
are grazing on rye pasture.
The shelter for the pregnant SOW
need not be expensive to be effici-
ent. The things to be guarded
against are lack of space so that
the sows pile up, damp floors,
filth and lack of sunshine.
1t should not be necessary to add
that the SOW should be given oppor-
tunity to get all the pure water she
will drink. Too much corn, lack of
exercise and too little water result
in constipation--a thing which
must be guarded against for best
results with the brood SOW.
Save your orders for 1915 calen.

at home. You will have good line
to select from. Buy from home peo-
nile and thus patroniZe those who
patronize you.
