Selection Of Good Seed Corn.

Demonstration work With corn con-
Quoted at the New Jersey station has
clearly shown the value of securing
good seed. During the past two years
the seed has been the cause Of differ
ence in yield Of five to twenty bushels
an acre and even more in several tests.
The first point to consider in select
Ing seed corn is maturity. AS corn
must be acclimated to a region before
the best results can be obtained, it is
not wise to use seed from another To-
cality, even that grown in another sec
ton of the state. 1t is better to secure
seed from a neighbor producing the
best corn in the community.
It is difficult in New Jersey to pro-
duce good seed corn because each
farmer produces a different variety or
a different strain of the same variety.
Another important factor in selection
Is a pure strain. This may easily he
determined by the color of each ear
and the color of individual grains in
each ear. Other points to be consid-
cred are size and shape of the ear.

Shaved by Swiss on Border.

Innsbruck, Austrian Tirol, Oct. o.
The Swiss Austrian frontier is careful
ly marked off and closed by barbed wire
fences. but that does not prevent fair
ly free intercourse between the Swiss
and the Austrian soldiers.
Soldiers of both countries are group
ed along the Engadinc border and in
the Swiss ranks is a barber, the only
n of his profession on either side. A
recent visitor to this front who de-
sired to have a shave found it was OBJ
tainable by the simple eXpedient Of sit
ting in a chair on the Austrian side
and allowing the Swiss soldier to ex-
tend his arms through the wire meshes.
The shave was not the equal Of one
in a regular barber shop, n bit ragged
and rough in spots, but it was better
than none and was accomplished with
out any breach Of neutrality. Aus
trian officers, it is asserted, resort al
most daily to the odd expedient.

H0GGING DOWN CORN CROP.
Experiments Have Proved That This
Is Entirely Practicable.

Experiments Have Proved That This
Is Entirely Practicable.
Several experiment stations have
found it to be entirely practicable to
hog down at least part of the corn
crop, says the Iowa Homestead. By
this system economical gains can be
made If good Judgment is used at the
beginning of the feeding period and a
little p%recaution is taken while the
hogs are in the corn.
The first essential is to get the hogs
we'll accustomed to new corr before
turning them into the field. This must
be done by cutting and hauling some
of the new corn out into the pasture.
1t must be remembered that it is an
absolute impossibility to get a bunch
of hogs out Of a cornfield in an hour
or two after they are turned in. That
is why it Is necessary In getting hogs
used to new corn to haul it from the
field.
Under ordinary circumstances It Is
Wasteful to start feeding the new

WAR FARMING.
Women Work In Fields In the British
Isles.

Wonen Work In Fields In the British
Isles.
The shortage Of farm labor in Eng
land Is causing increasing unrest in ag-
ricultural circles.
IN some cases the scarcity Of farm
hands is not so serious Us the lack of
horses. The lack of male labor is be-
Ing filled so far as possible by the use
of female and child labor.
In the dairy and in the care Of small
stock 1t Is likely that male labor will be
almost entirely dispensed with. Much
OF the lighter field work also is being
done by women, and in the market gar
dening districts they may be seen in
large numbers at such tasks as weed
ing and setting plants. On some of the
smaller holdings they have ever under
taken the rougher work Of blowing and
cultivating.
Some Of the agricultural colleges
have organized short courses Of in
%struction for women who are willing TO
enter farm work. The course of in
struction includes milking, dairy work,
live stock, poultry, preparation of land,
use OF tools, planting and cultivation.
The course reviews eight hours work
daily for fourteen days.
Wages throughout the farming dis
tricts have advanced sharply, the aver
age increase being about 81 weekly.

that merely depositing records in a

fact that abstracts made by a private

SAVE THE WATER.
Keep the Soil Supplied With Humus
and Mulch the Surface.

NeeP tne SOL win fumus
and Mulch the Surface.
BY saving the water from the early
rains crops will not suffer as much
later in the ummer If drought occurs.
Usually more water is lost from the
soil by evaporation-that is, drying out
from the surface, than crops use.
There are two chief ways of helping
to prevent tllis-namely, by keeping
the soil well supplied with organic
matter, or humus, and by maintaining
a soil mulch w the surface. This
soil mulch or layer of loose dry soil
forms a blanket, preventing the soil
water from reaching the surface where
evaporation is so rapid in hot or windy
weather.
Every gardener should start water
saving at nee. If the newly plowed
land is disked thoroughly the same
day it is turned over there is less
chance Of the burrows drying out badly
before the land is planted. Newly
spaded land should be raked over the
same day the soil is turned.
After planting the use Of a weeder
breaks up the surface and kills many
weeds. The cultivator ought to be
started as O as the rows can be seen
and used often enough to keep the sur
face fine, loose and dry.
Every rain or shower packs the sur
face soil, and unless broken up evap-
GRAFTON is very rapid from this COM
pact, moist surface. AS soon as the
fields can be worked after n rain the
cultivator should be used to re-estab-
fish the soil mulch. This frequent Gull
tivation not only saves water for plant
use, but also Is an aid to plant growth
and a benefit to the soil.
Never be satisfied with cultiyating
enough to kill the weeds. Cultivate
often enough to maintain throughout
the season a loose. dry layer of soil at
the surface. Start a soil mulch now
and maintain 1t all summer. It paws.

to use.

corn until the grain is mature enough

corn until the grain Is mature enough
to be denied. Previous to that time
the crop is so soft that enormous
quantities Of it will be used while It
has little feeding value. BY feeding
green fodder for a week or ten days
before it Is time to turn them into the
corn almost the entire plant will be
consumed. and ir that way very little
waste will be involved. When they
are brought up to the point that they
are getting just about all they will
consume then they may be turned in
with safety, but it will always be ad-
visable II they have access to a good
pasture at the same time.

event is usually referred to as the

The empress expects to become a
