CROP OF CORN FOLLOWING ALFALFA.

prepared by tie United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture.)
A successful planting Of corn, sat
iSfactory stand Of plants, and profit
able yield are largely assured by get
ting the seedbed In perfect condition
for early planting and then waiting to
plant until the soil is warm and
moist.
There are many questions concern
ing implements, methods, distance be-
tween rows, thickness of planting, ETC.,
that should be definitely settled before
planting time. These questions are gov
erned to a large degree by local con-
ditions.
A distance Of 3.3 feet between corn
rows is suggested for the majority of
cases. Some twO-row planters are
more easily adjusted to three feet four
inches, which is equally satisfactory.
More space is required for tall-grOw-
ing than for smaller varieties. It is
well to drop somewhat more kernels
than the number of stalks desired. On
good soil this familiar saying may be
proftably followed: zone for the
blackbird, one for the crow, one for the
cutwOrm, and three for to grow" One
secret of a good corn crop consists in
having the proper stand of stalks, each
one of which yields well. On poor land
and also in very dry sections larger
grain yields can be secured with thin
stand of stalks. Under such conditions,
however, some other crop can usually
be grown more profltably than corn,
for corn requires much moisture and
fertility. Where the annual rainfall is
less than 25 inches thin stand of
stalks is preferable unless moisture
is supplied from some source other
than rain. Where soil moisture is like
ly to be deficient during the silking pc
riod stalk for each 20 inches Of row
(the rows being 3.3 feet apart) is suf6-
cient and will make possible yield
Of 113 bushels per acre if the stalks
average a pound of grain each.

In praise of 'Anuric' for uric acid and

Seeing 'Anuric' advertised in the pas

good dairy cows have large barrel
and large capacity udder. The udder
should be attached high behind and ex-
tend well up toward the belly. The
width of the udder should be as great
as possible. One should look carefully
for the mammary development in the
dairy COW. This consists of large veins,
which extend along the abdomen from
the udder towards the front limbs.
The veins should be large, crooked,
branching out, extending well towards
the front legs and entering the body
through large holes called milk wells.
Such a COW should pay her way and
produce the largest amount of milk
from a given quantity of food.

Chicago. April 26.-Liberal runs fea-
tured the mid week hog market today.
Hogs were in larger supply than the
trade expected and as a result the mar
ket weakened and some grades sold
cents lower. a.
Chicago's run first two days Of this
week decreased nearly 10000 compared
with a week ago. standing $500 smaller
than a year ago and 1900 smaller than
two years ago. With anything like
moderate receipts in the near future
the market promises to hold up well,
notwithstanding the fact that pre-
vailing prices are within 500 cents
of the years high day, which was
March 10. Pigs met with an indiffer-
ent call today and closed weak to 10
cents lower than on Monday.
Cattle.
The worst cattle market in months
followed heavy receipts. which were
estimated at 10000 head, and the mar
ket could not absorb the offerings.
Prices fell off 10 to 20 cents.
Altho kosher demand IS looked upon
as probable Of broadening now that
Jewish holidays are at an end. the
fact remains that kinds and ribs of the
high costing heavy cattle are not find
ing free outlet either here or east
ward and very moderate supplies are
prospective of filling the kosher de-
mand.
Beef trade, while showing fair gen.
eral action. while Of broad proportions.
Cattle are costing record prices in the
beef for this season Of the year and
consumer purchases can not be made
freely at the high prices which pre-
vail at retail.
The consumers purchasing power
must be taken into consideration in
figuring price prospects further ahead
this season. Allowing that there is
general activity in the industrials, the
fact remains that beef costs are far
higher than a year ago, and while the
aggregate consumption is larger it Is
due to greater employment OF labor
rather than the individual consumers
increased purchases. Beef demand will
be regulated to a greater extent by the
attitude of the consumer toward an
market for this commodity.

trading in wheat while at higher levels
than yesterdays close was Of only
moderate volume and the range was
narrow. Some selling credited to
spreaders between this market and
Winnipeg and selling OF July against
purchases of May by elevator inter-
ests encouraged local traders to press
the short side of July. Commission
houses however, were liberal buyers
on the depression, purchases being
suggested by both winter and spring
wheat crop conditions. Shortly before
mid day numerous reports Of damage
by insects were received from Okla
homa and Texas points. which result
ed in a sharp bulge in values.
Corn-The same interests which
have been buying May corn continued
to absorb the surplus today and this
with good volume Of buying in the
July delivery by influential local trad
ers brought a sharp upturn in values.
A slight increase in country offerings
received little attention because both
