CURING POP CORN PROPERLY
Ears Should BE Left on Stalks Until
Fully Ripened-Free Circulation
Of Air Is Essential.

To successfully cure popcorn SO it
win pop early in the winter, the ears
should be left on the stalks until the
grains are fully ripened, and then
pulled off. husk and all. This may be
laid on floor, or placed in sacks
which are more or less open for the
passage of air, and hung up in a dry
room which is well ventilated and free
from rats and mice.
II the husks are removed when the
corn is pulled from the stalk, it dries
out too rapidly, and the Kernels will
not pop as freely as they will if dried
more slowly.
Popcorn can be too dry at time of
popping. Corn after once cured, does
best if kept where the air is only mod
erately dry. Corn kept behind stove
will not pop as freely as corn kept in
room where there is little damp
ness part of the time.

Additional Farm Equipment.
"From the experiences of these men
it would seem that the tractor is use

as additional farm equipment. The
Justification for the use of the tractor
lies in the fact that it may under IA
vorable conditions do a special line of
work. rather than In the claim, refuted
by experience, that the tractor Is a
satisfactory substitute for horse power.
'4The fact that these tractor users
are maintaining but eight head of cat
tie for each 100 acres plowed indi-
Gates that they are in the main grain
farmers. If the extensive grain farmer
is able to eliminate but two-thirds of
horse for each 100 acres plowed, the
Intensive farmer with his diversified

any horse power by purchasing a trac-

SHEEP SENSITIVE TO DRAFTS
Animals VIII Not Stand Dampness and
Thorough Wetting Will Cause
Diminution Of Profits.

Avoid having the sheep caught In
an early but cold fall rain. Sheep
will stand any amount of dry cold,
but they will not stand dampness. A
thorough wetting will cause the flock
to shuttle all winter, with conse-
quent diminution Of profits. A fleece
holds so much water and takes so
long to dry, that the amount of heat
lost by the animal during the process
of drying will seriously affect its
vitality.
It seems strange, too. but sheep are
sensitive to drafts. They will thrive
in intensely cold weather, with but
rude shelter. But If inclosed in pen
or stable through which the wind Is
able to seep, harm is sure to follow.
To keep the flock in the very best Of
condition they should have a supply
CT roots. Glover or alfalfa hay fed
with some grain and turnips or man
gels will bring them through the winter
in thrifty and profitable condition.

MAKE USE OF FROSTED CORN
II Should BE Cut as Soon as Possible
to Save Plant ood-Silage Should
BE Covered.


If the standing corn In the field is
frosted 1t should be cut as quickly as
possible, or it will cause great loss
of plant food.
An expert says: 1.-THE effect Of a
hard or black frost In freezing the
cells Of the corn fodder, causes the
breaking Of the individual cells and
the evaporation of sap that should be
left in the stalks and leaves. The
leaves turn white and become so
brittle that In handling most Of the
leaves and a portion Of the stalk will
be lost. The corn on the ear win be-
come soft and will only be at for feed
Ing to hogs and cattle as 1t win not
keep any length of time"
An authority. says: III frosted corn
is to be put into the silo. it should be
cut as quickly as possible and, II
rather dry, well watered as it IS put
in the siIo. The silage should be well
packed, to exclude the air. After the
silage is all in. let 1t settle for q few
days, then sow oats quite thick over
the silage. The oats will terminate
in a few days and make sufficient
growth to protect the silage. The oats
make q better cover than earth OF
boards and can be easily removed
when the silage is to be used"

Then what commentary on the
poor of Mexico, followsl Immediately
after the denunciation Of bullfightin0
the decree ads that bullfights cause
misery to the poor, who, for q mo.
ment's enjoyment, go without the me-
cessaries of life. This remarks the EA
Paso (Tex.) Herald, is an admission
that the masses of Mexico are willing
to deprive themselves of food and
clothing to enjoy something which -
disgrace to the country.
This recalls statement ascrfbed to
the late President Diaz, who, when
asked once whom the people of MexfeO
would elect for president If allowed an
unrestricted exercise of the ballot. ID

ACRE PROFIT FROM ALFALFA
Provides Large Amount Of Nutriment
for Every Kind Of Live Stock
and Feeds Soil.

Here is why an acre of alfalfa is
valuable In Minnesota:
1T costs about $12 to cultivate it.
At least 60 per cent Of the fertilizer
value is returned to the soil when the
crop is fed.
A yield of three tons will return
$41.30 if fed to pigs as pasture when
the pigs sell for cents a pound.
A similar yield if fed to steers at
6 cents pounds win bring $42,6O.
The same yield fed to cows giving
210 pounds of butterfat at 80 cents
a pound win bring $4,000.
Farm feeds should be judged by the
total nutriments produced an acre,
bearing in mind the cost of produc-
ton. Alfalfa provides a large amount
of nutriment for every kind of stock.
Besides this, it provides nutriment for
the soil, hence increasing land value.
