Seeing Iowa first" in comparative
lists of agricultural achievements Ia
getting to be an every day occurrence
Here are few collected instances
which reveal the fact that the Hawk
eye state Is cropping into head
liner" position among the states in a
lot Of lines.
Iowa ranks first in the production of
corn and OATS and In value OF hogs.
horses and poultry. She outranks all
other states in the amount invested In
farm machinery and stands second II,
the production Of hay value Of beef
cattle. farm buildings, farm property
and amount Of improved farm land.

farm and with percentage Of only

percentage of illiteracy Of any state in

Large Farms Pay Best Profits.
That the largest farms appear to pay
the greatest profits Of Black Hawk
county is the conclusion reached from
results gathered from sixty seven
farms of the county. This, for great
part, is due to the more efficient use
OF man and horse labor and machinery
on the large farms. Seventeen OF the
smallest farms. with CO.'S crop acres on
the average. paid operating expenses.
per cent interest on tho investment and
left their operators &ls2 as labor in
come. The fourteen larger farms, av-
eraging 1852 crop acres, gave an av-
erage labor income of $500.
The more efficient use made Of man
1nGo hi, ~.
larger farms may be shown by the fact
that on the seventeenth smallest farm
one man cared for fifty-four acres
compared to seventy-five acres on the
largest farms. One horse to every 14.2
acres and $7.77 worth Of machinery to
the acre on the smallest farms, COM
pared to one horse to every 20.9 acres
and 81 worth Of machinery to the acre
on the largest farms tells the story of
the greater big farm efficiency in these
lines.
Care Of Soft Corn.
TT seems now as tho considerable
corn in almost every field will not dry
out so as to be in good condition to
put into cribs" says NJ. L. Mosher, of
Clinton county. However, IL we have
good dry weather for the next three
weeks considerable part of the corn
in most fields will be fairly dry. 1t will
undoubtedly pay most men to sort
their corn as it Is gathered. This can
be done by dividing the wagon box and
then grading the corn as it is husked.
Even tho we have good dry wealth
er and the corn Is graded there will
be danger of the corn spelling In the
crib. Most of the cribs which have
been built Of late years have been eight
feet wide. Cribs of this width do not
provide sufficient ventilation to dry out
corn which Is not well cured in the
field.
Should vsntiIats Cribs.
1T seems. then, that it will be wise
for most men to provide some means

Tramp steamers Make Money.

Owners OF British tramp steamships
are deriving great profit from the
war. For weeks past freights have
been rising not only steadily, but
sometimes rapidly, and they now are
on very much higher level than
when the war began. For instance
freights for grain from the Platte have
risen from 13s ton To 29s Cd ton
while freights from the Pacific coast
OF North America have advanced from
about 35c TO 45c. The rise is due
largely TO the acquisition of many yes
sells by the government. Many OF
the finest British liners have been
converted into armed merchant cruis
ers or have been employed as troop
ships; some have crossed the Allan
tic packed with horses; many have
been chartered for the carriage o
stores or TO act as colliers. British
shipping has not only been doing tho
bidding of the British government. bu
