"SEED CORN WEEK."
The Last Week In September or the
First Week In October Should Be
Set Aside as Seed Corn Week
In the Corn Belt.

We have "Arbor Day." Would It
not also be well to have seed Corn
Day." A day when everyone should
begin the harvesting and storing of
his seed for the following spring. We
laugh at our grandfathers for planting
their potatoes and sowing their grain
in the moon," that is, in certain
phases of the moon. The value of
this practice lay, not in the fact as
supposed by many that the moon ex.
ercised any influence on the crop, but
in the having of a definite time and
plan for the doing Of various things
On the farm.

the feeding of stock came every day,
It would be attended to on time, but
it is nothing more nor less than hui

Captain John Wingate Weeks.

"There was no insurance-the pol
icy had lapsed-and the fire swep,
away all of my fathers means and put
a burdensome mortgage on his farm,
two and half miles in the country"
If there had been navy OF re-
spectacle size In 1881 John Wingate
Weeks would now be a captain In
stead Of a senator. Nor would he
ever have become banker and thus
have set at naught all the traditions of
the Weeks family for self-respecting,
capable and wholesome poverty.
And yet a psychological analysis Of
inherited traits might show that the
senator comes naturally by his talents
for public affairs and finance. Any
inquiry into his personality must In
clude the Wingates, the chief of whom,
John, an Englishman, emigrated to
New Hampshire in 1860.
The Weekses and the Wingates In
termarried during the second Ameri-
can generation-the Weekses to con-
tinue as farmers. with an excursion
into potato starch, as has been re-
corded, but the Wingates TO become
soldiers, preachers and statesmen.
Paine Wingate. for example, the great
grandson of John, was a member or
the Continental congress and later q
senator from New Hampshire.
A BIG Man Physically.
John Wingate Weeks of Massachu-
sets. in his name, therefore, goes back
to the middle OF the seventeenth cen
fury. Perhaps his gifts are equally as
ancient. Wherever they originated.
he has made good use of them. He 10
well-to-do- but has less money, per-
haps, than Is often represented--and
Republicans in Massachusetts have no
tilted the country that he Is their can
didate for president If he IL nomi-
mated at Chicago in June, the main
reason will have been that he Is q
business man. His candidacy. then.
will be something entirely new In ma
tional politics.
In his measurements, Captain Weeks
is . large man. A reasonable guess
at his weight would be $50 pounds.
His stature, perhaps, is I'VE feet and
eleven Inches. His eyes are gray and
his manner is frank and hearty. While
Ct the naval academy he could slowly
raise . 112-pound dumbhell above hiI
head with his right hand Then, kneeI-
Ing with one les, he could slowly raise
an s7-pound dumbbell with his left
hand. More than that he could lower
his hands to his shoulders and slowly
md simultaneously put both dumb
bells above his head the second time.
A muscular youth, he WAC recon-

HEAD HUNTERS GETTING BUSY
Natives of Solomon Island Take Ad
vantage of War to Gather
Trophies.

At first sight there does not seem
to be a very close connection between
the war in Europe and head hunting
in the solomon islands. Nevertheless,
the one arises from the other.
Previous to the outbreak of the
war, according to a Vancouver Worlds
Sydney IN. S. W. correspondent, Brit
ish, and occasionally German war.
ships patrolled the islands and en-
deavOred to keep down cannibaism
among the natives. who are largely Of
Papuan or Malaysian stock. How.
ever, the requirements for the trans.
port of troops led to the recall Of the
British warships-and the happy head
hunter has been free to follow his own
devious courses.
In. one raid made by a mountain
tribe upon a small village near the
coast no less than 26 heads were Sc
cured. No punishment followed be-
cause the whites were unable to or.
ganize in time. AS a consequence
the raids are growing more dangerous,
and although as yet, no Europeans
have been attacked, planters have con-
stantly to keep on their guard.

MAKE BIG GUNS ABS0LETE
Western Inventor Devises an Aerial
Torpedo That Gives Promise
of Effectiveness.

What may eventually prove to be
highly effective war implement, and, if
so. possibly render present heavy ar
tillery obsolete for long range opera
tons, is a self-controlled aerial tor
pedo that has lately been developed in
Colorado. 1t is described in the Au-
gust number of Popular Mechanics
Magazine. In a general way, the in
strument attempts TO accomplish over
land what the United States navy's
new wireless torpedo does at sea. Its
principle and method OF operation, of
course, are entirely different. AS is
to be inferred, it consists of a small
aircraft-much like an ordinary BIZ
plane-carrying a large, high-explosive
torpedo which it is designed to drop
at any predetermined spot within a
certain radius. The projectile, which
is about twelve feet in length, forms
the body of the machine and is divided
into two compartments. The propel
Ter is mounted at the front end of it,
while the shaft extends through the
entire torpedo to the rear compart-
ment where an 18-horSepower motor
is housed. The speed and course of
the machine are regulated by means of
a gyroscopic mechanism, while a tim
ing device of some sort releases the
engine containing missile at the prop
er instant for it to strike it's target

production. The mares are intelligent
ly handled, do all the light work that
is required, and, in addition, produce
colts every year which rapidly develop
Into marketable animals. The colts
are usually kept until four years of age
and the surplus sold for about $500
each. Mr.. Doyle estimates the cost of
raising colt at about $25 per year.
There are good meadows and pas
lures on this farm. Every square foot
Of the meadows and pastures is well
covered with nutritious grasses and
cIovers instead of broom sage, briars
and weeds. The land is thoroughly pre-
pared, manfred and sown in sapling
clover, orchard grass, timothy and
small amount of alfalfa The mixture
usually consists of three pounds of al
falfa, five pounds of timothy, eight
pounds of sapling clover and three
pounds OF orchard grass to the acre.
The alfalfa seed is put in to gradually
fnoculate the soil so he can sow alfalfa
at any time, on any part of the farm,
and be sure that the soil is inoculated.
From the above grass mixture three or
four tons of good hay is usually OBJ
tanned.
Mr. Doyle grows what he needs and
feeds what he grows. Only small
amount of cottonseed meal is pur
chased to feed his dairy cows. The av
GRACE farmer in his section buys the
larger part of his feed. Many thou
parda nf dollars are sent ont of his
county annually for feedstuffs.
Rotation Practced.
A rotation of crops, including legu
xpfuous crops, is practiced on his farm
The corn is usually followed by wheat

corn is cut in September or octobe
and German clover is sown on par
of the corn land. This clover can b

Io one bushel of oats and 10 pound

sown on a part of the corn land about
September 15. This is cut and fed in
the dough state the following spring.
A bushel of wheat and ten pounds Of
hairy vetch make a very satisfactory
mixture. This mixture usually follows
peanuts and is cut in the dough stage
for feed in the spring.
OF course there is a silo on the
farm. The cotton silo provides cheap
and convenient place to store all the
corn grown on five or six acres. The
silo takes care OF all the corn crop
early in the fall; insures succulent
feed for winter and in long dry spells,
when pastures fail; provides a bal
anced succuIent ration when fed with
such protein feeds as cowpeas, peanut
hay and cottonseed meal; and makes
1t possible to properly feed more dairy
cattle on the small farm.
The 60-ton silo holds enough silage
to feed the Is milk COWS for six months
feeding about 80 pounds per day to
each COW. The silage is fed with pea
vines or peanut hay and some cotton
seed meal. The grain ration consists
of about. six pounds per day of mix
ture of 300 pounds of cottonseed meal
and 200 pounds Of corn and cob meal.
On an average, Is cows are MIXED
the year round. The main source of in.
come is the money obtained from the
sale of cream, milk and butter. Twen-
ty per cent cream is sold at Peters
burg, 20 miles away, for rs cents per
gallon the year round A small guam
tity Of ice is used in the summer time
to cool the cream when it is separated.
Cream Is Sold.
One five-gallon can of 20 per cent
cream is sold from the Is COWS every
day in the year. They have a check
rate Of IL cents for fivegallon can,
but this makes it necessary for the
buyer in Petersburg to meet the train
to receive the can, whereas the ex-
press rate will deliver it, and in small
quantities the express rate is cheaper
in the long run.
An average of SIS worth of butter
is sold every month, to regular GUS
toners. The cream and butter sold per
month brings in about $125. The in
come from the sale of young cattle
to about 5000 per year, and
the profit from feeding hogs on skim
milk is about $500 per year, making a
total income of at least $3.50 per month
from the COWS.
There is running water in the barn

by the crops, or net earnings, for one
year or for five years. By devoting
the larger part of the farm to clovers,
feeding the clovers to dairy cattle and
spreading manure over the land he
averages mere than 20 bushels of
wheat per acre, and has averaged, in
good seasons, as high as 80 bushels.
He averages NOR than so bushels of
corn per acre, and has averaged as
high as rs bushels.
This farm raises teamwork stock
for home use and to sell. The colts
are raised to prevent the spending of
money for teamwork stock and to be
sure of having enough horse power for
the most economical production Of
crops.
Can't Afford ceidlncs.
Six head of work stock are kept on
the farm and two mares bring colts
each year. Mr.. Doyle figures that he
cannot afford to keep all geldings and,
for this reason, keeps two brood mares
