Cultivate So the Root System Will Be

There Is a big difference between

sometimes 1t amounts to the difference
between good and poor crop.
1t Is best to pillow the corn the first
tlme and cultivate 1t after that. 1t is
all right to really plow Il row of corn
the first time you go over it. for the
roots are small at that time and any
damage that is done to them. will not
amount to much. After that first going
over shallower cultivation will be far
better. Shallow cultivation Is now
practiced on the greater number of the
big corn farms in the sections where
corn Is the big money crop.
Of course the sol! and the climate
have good deal to do with the depth

AS general rule. however, it may be,
SAID that. while the first cultivation
may be fairly deep, all succeeding cul-
tvations should merely stir the top SOIL
Just enough to keep the soil water from
evaporating and to keep the weeds In
check.
There is good, strong reason for
this. UP in North Dakota. where this

thing was tried out thoroughly for a
good many years, 1t was found that
about thirty days after the corn was
planted the roots from corn rows three
feet apart were growing together and
interlacing in the Riddle of the row.
When the roots are reaching to the
middle of the row and are within four,
six and eight inches Of the surface of
the ground you can't run shovel very
deeply without doing a whole lot of
damage.
The bulk of all the corn roots are
within ten inches Of the surface Of the
soil, and some of the biggest and most
important of them are within three
inches of the surface. These roots are
not much in evidence the first time the
corn is gone over with a cultivator, but
their growth and development there
after are very rapid.
Leaving the shovels set at the same
depth for the second and third blowing
as for the first will result in serious
damage to the plant roots.
OF course, the real cultivation of the
corn begins when the seed bed is made.
If there is the right kind Of q seed
there will be great deal less trouble
in cultivating the growing corn. When
you began blowing up the corn ground
you began cultivating the crop, and II
your soil was well pulverized. free from
rough places and plowed uniformly the
cultivating job will not be so very diff
ficult Narrowing time or two before
and after the corn gets through the
ground will help a lot both in saving
moisture and in keeping down the
weeds.
The kind Of cultivating tools to he
used will depend whole lot on the
kind Of soil you are farming and the
climate. Experience is the best guile
In that respect, and as q rule the farm
er who has been growing corn In the
same section for good many years
will know pretty definitely what kiInl
Of tools will give him the best results
There are some soils that need decp
stirring, but where possible this deep

done the first time the corn Is worked

Summer Care of Poultry.

Provide the birds with clean, roomy,
well ventilated summer colony houses
where they will not be unduly crowd
ed and where they will have fresh air
to breathe at all times. Stunted pull
lets are too often produced by lack of
proper sleeping and roosting quarters
during the summer growing period. The
feeder should always endeavor to keep
the pullets growing constantly without
any check, thus doing away with any
danger Of retarding the time Of matur-
ity or of reducing the ultimate size and
vigor Of the mature birds.

RAISING CALVES ON
A. MINIMUM OF milk

[By Professor WILDER S. Fraser, Univer-
sity of Illinois.l
On many farms where the problem
of raising calves on small amount of
milk arises the whole milk is sold, con
sequently no skimmilk is available.
Because of this we tried a number of
calves on whole milk only, feeding
ten pounds per day until they were
twenty-eight days old. From this
time on the whole milk was gradually
reduced and its place taken with
warm water until the calf was fifty
days old, when no more milk was fed.
This made total of 400 pounds of
whole milk. Calves cut entirely off
of milk at seven weeks of age have a
difficult time in getting properly start.
ed on grain and hay. Those fed fifty
pounds more milk, extending the time
over ten days. thus feeding some dilut-
ed milk until the calf is sixty days old,
or until it has consumed $50 pounds
of whole milk, will do much better, In
fact this Is the least whole milk that
that can be recommended for the sue
cessful raising of dairy calf.
The first calves that we attempted to
raise on q minimum amount Of milk
were given small amount almost from
the start, thinking that this manner of

The feeding of some dry feed when
cows are on grass is generally held to
be beneficial. Hay is invariably rec.

effect of grass, and it prevents the

from severe purging. Corn is a good
supplement to pasture. but 1t would be
better IL it could be fed in connection
with some hay. If only one kind Of

never going about the milking in q
rough manner. A dairy cow Is of a
very nervous disposition, and the loud
boisterous person will never make a
successful mixer.
A person should have reasonably
strong hands to milk well. A child
should never be allowed to milk, rs
there is not enough strength in his
hands to excite the cows nerves till
she lets the milk flow freely. 1t is
a good practice to rub the teats and
udder well before beginning to milk.

Sentiment is Changing

There is considerable speculation
here as to what the voters in the WILL
age will do on June 81 when the coun-
ty option question is brought to a
vote. Donnelly has been strong for
saloons under the local option plan
but there seems to be great change
of sentiment when it comes to county
option. The saloon traffic here has
heen we'll regulated and very little
serious complaint has been heard in
recent months. Those who are in a
position to know claim Donnelly WILL
age will swing to the drys next month,
and already hopes are freely expressed
that the village authorities will see
to it that the ordinances and state
laws be enforced regarding blind
pigs. From Morris comes the reports
that the city fathers there have decid-
ed that winking at law violators will
not be tolerated and if any pigs are
found at large they will be ground to
sausage in the law mills. Not very
much excitment prevails here over
the coming election but both sides
will be out in force. Donnelly has
the distinction of having the only
salnonkeeper in the county who signed
the option petition. He is man who
is not afraid of the cars and who is
able to see both sides of the question.
His action in so doing will probably
have the effect of antagonizing some
but it will also have the effect Of
keeping some on the wet side.

Kidney Trouble Causes
Intense Suffering

Sixteen years ago I was taken sick
with Kidney truble and suffered ter
ribly for three months. I did not
work during this time and was mostly
confined to the bed. After using other
remedies I finally tried a bottle of
Swamp Root. I Immediately began
to feel better, and after using seven
fifty cent bottles, was entierly cured
and have had no kidney trouble since.
I can truly say that I owe my good
health to Swamp Root. You may
publish this letter for the benefit of
other people afflicted as I was with
the hope of bringing to their attention
this most wonderful remedy.
