STORING ROOTS FOR WINTER
Care Must Be Used to Prevent Heat.
inp-Should Be Left on Ground
Until Thoroughly Dry.

Care must be used in storing roots
for winter to prevent heating. Ruta-
bagas put in the cellar damp and with
considerable earth on their roots are
very apt to heat, and roots of any kind
that heat in the bin spoil.
When weather conditions will per-
nit roots should be left on the ground
a day or two after pulling to dry out
before storing in the cellar. The less
earth that goes in the cellar with the
roots the better they will keep. Earth
fills up the space between the roots and
prevents the circulation of air.
When there is danger of the roots
freezing in the ground and they have
to be hauled in in wet condition, 1t
Is well to pile them outside the cellar
and cover with straw and manure and
leave them there for a week or more
to dry out. If the covering is removed
from the top during the day when not
freezing they will dry out very fast
This is much easier than to put them
in the cellar wet and have to haul
them out when they are found to be
heating. Roots must be dry wheI
stored to keep through the winter.

INCREASE PROFITS or DAIRY
II Poorer Half Of Cows Were Sold Re.
turns Would BE Doubled, Says
Dairy Commissioner.

1t seems like strong statement to
make, but 1t is no doubt true, as was
said by the dairy commissioner of
great state dairy, that If the poorer
half Of the cows of the state were sold
off the dairy profits of the state would
be doubled.
If but the better half of the cows
were kept the feed consumed by the
Improbable ones would be saved, the
work would be halved and the profits
from those kept would be more than
double those of the herds as now con-
stituted.
The volume of butter-and-milk pro.
duction would be decreased, no doubt,
| if this course were pursued, and the
consumer would be called upon TO pay
higher prices; but the dairyman would
double his profits, and that should be
the object sought In any business.
| And the farm. The dairyman whC
does not improve his land every yeaI
must lie awake nights studying how
to keep it from growing more fertile
Selling milk is about the hardest wa!
TO use a dairy farm, but he who SELL
butterfat sells nothing but sunshine
for ton of butter isn't worth wagon
load of stable manure as a fertilizer
They say 1t is worth about rs cents.

SHRINKAGE OF A CORN CRIB
Varies So Greatly In Accordance With
Amount of Moisture II Is Hard
to Give Amount.

The shrinkage that will take place
in a crib of corn from the time it is
cribbed in the fall until it Is sold
varies so greatly in accordance with
the amount of moisture the corn con-
tains when placed in the crib, and also
the ventilation of the crib, that 1t is
impossible to state a percentage of
shrinkage that will apply with GER
tainty to any particular crib of stored
corn. Various tests show that the
shrinkage in cribbed corn approximates
Is per cent for the first year and 20
per cent for two years.
Corn that has not been kept dry
during the winter is usually disposed
of in early spring, for the reason that
1t is likely to spoil upon the approach
of warm weather.

Everyone Interested In Industry Should
Unite in Campaign for Day on

College Will Aid.

An increase of per cent in the av-
erage stand and yield of corn will
amount to million dollars increase
In value, but careful field selection of
seed corn can be made to result in an
increase of from to 10 per cent in
next years crop, according to r. III.
Baker of the Missouri College of Agri-
culture. Mr.. Baker bases this on eX-
periment-station figures, comparing the
results of field selection with ordinary
crib selection. and feels that every day
spent in judicious field selection can
easily be made to bring the corn grow
sr from $40 to $50 in increased yields.
Farmers clubs, Industrious farmers,
and everyone interested in corn-grow-
ing should unite in a campaign for a
seed-corn selection day on which ev-
eryone concerned will see that work is
started along this line in his own field
Those who know how to select can
meet with those who do not and help

BOX FOR CATCHING sWARMS
Bees Immediately Take Advantage Of

Most beekeepers still prefer to catch
swarms by using a ladder, saw, ETC.,

Roberts and Hartwick, two Illinois bee
keepers, did not like the ordinary

exertion connected with shining up

They have devised a swarm box
which by means of a pole Is inserted
against the swarm cluster. The box
is made hollow and long. They assert

BEEF ON HIGH-PRICED LAND
BIG Increase in Yield of Corn Noted
in Kansas Where Attention is
Given to Cattle.

Investigations i'm the state of Kan
sas. according to w. A. Cochel Of the
Kansas Agricultural college, show that
the average acre of that state pro-
duces 30 TO 30 bushels Of corn. while
the average acre on cattle farms pro-
duces between IS and co bushels.
They also show that the average
value of the farm land of the state is
$50 compared with the average value
Of the beef cattle farms Of 500 an
acre.
Apparently It is not so much cues
ton of whether one can afford to raise
beef on high-priced land as whether
one cannot afford to raise it.
