Final Action.

As vice president of the Pullman
Company, Gen. Horace Porter used
TO receive numerous complaints from
supersensitive military men who had
occasion to travel in the company's
cars.
One of these, riding on an extra
train, hurriedly added one day in a
holiday rush, deemed the negro port
or negligent in some small details
and demanded his instant discharge.
Realizing that, in the circumstan-
ces, the employe had been excusable
the General replied simply that in
vestigation was being made. Again
the protest more violent, vehement
and vindictive than the last. Attemp-
Is TO mollify the complaint failed

Limewater Method.

Limewater is also satisfactory for
preserving egg and is slightly less
expensive than water glass. A So
luton is made by placing . or 3
pounds of unslacked lime in gall
ons of water. which has been boiled
and allowed TO cool, and allowing the
mixture to stand until the lime set
ties and the liquid is clear. The eggs
should be placed in clean earthen-
ware jar or other suitable vessel and
covered to depth OF 2 inches with
the liquid. Remove the eggs as de-
sired. rinse in clean, cold water, and
use Immediately.

Farm Department

to the feed lot and hauling II back
prain to the fields in the shape of
uneaten cornstalks? Very tall-grow-
ing corn, when sappy and immature,
is almost all water, and so is wet
cornsislk manure.
ii used to be that many growers
u, ided themselves on the great
height of their cornstalks. The moro
successful farmers, however, have
ceased to haul water from the corn
fields to the feed lot in the form Of
coarse stalks, which remain uneaten.
and haul il back to the fields in the
shape of wet cornstalk manure. They
do not grow such tall stalks, and
often profitably allow animals to
gather the grain, leaving the stalks
in the fields to enrich the soil.
A few years ago silage was
thought to have a fixed food value.
but it now is recognized that one
cannot take out of the silo any more
food value than is put in.
Hauling and SLIDING large sappy
stalks is heavy work, and not as
profitable as putting good, almost
mature corn crop into the silo. A
somewhat larger and later maturing
variety of corn. that will thoroughly
mature for grain, can be used in the
Northern States for ensilage. Even
silage corn should be planted early
and given sufficient time to make its
best growth and reach the stage of
maturity at which husks turn brown
and the ears become glazed.
A co-operator in the department.
corn work grows a high-yielding va
riety of corn. the stalks of which
reach a height of about 6 feet, while
his neighbor grows a big, 12-foot
variety. In helping each other shred
their crops the neighbours tal-grOw-
ing corn was SHREDDED first. The
stalks were bulky and high loads
were hauled from the fields to the
shredder.
When beginning the shredding of
the competitors corn, which that
year produced over 100 bushels of
dry shelled corn per acre, the neigh
Dor put on the accustomed high load,
and his team could not pull it out of
the field.
He got down off the load TO make
an examination. thinking the rack
must be pressing against the wheels.
The competitor told him he would
have to take off a part of the load, to
which he replied that he did not have
on big load and was accustomed to
hauling larger laods. After being
convinced that ii was the weight of
the load that stalled his team, they
removed a portion and hauled the
balance to the shredder, from which
they obtained forty bushels of corn,
or almost a ton and half of ears.
What variety of corn should you
plant? Since there are thousands of
so-oalled varieties, it is not possible
TO designate by name the variety
you should plant. Furthermore,
with corn, there is very little in
name. Two lots of seed Of the Lean
ing variety sometimes differ from
each other more than two varieties
differ from one another
An accurate test of two different
lots of the Boone County white va
riety resulted in one lot producing
eighteen bushels more per acre than
the other lot. Quality is what
counts and the varietal name does
not designate quality. Plant a va
riety that has made good in your
neighborhood. Plant seed which
was grown in your part of the state
and was properly field selected and
properly cared for during the winter.
