Concrete On The Farm.

A large number of farmers
who have attempted to put In
some conrcete improvements on
their farms have met with rather,
indifferent success from the
fact that the sand and gravel
used has not been Of a good
quality or contained too much
clay, loan and vegetable matter,
and many of them have become
discouraged and are not gong
ahead,
Concrete if properly made Is
the best and most lasting I'M
provement that can be put in, !"
says Chas. G. Nolan, farm ad-
wiser of the Pennsylvania De.
partment of Agriculture, "but
considerable care must be taken
TO insure this long-lived property
Concrete pavements or side.
walks are not only permanent
improvement but thing Of
beauty as well.
1.-THE concrete improvements
about the barn are also perma
nent and sanitary which is one OF
the most essential things partlcu'
larly in a dairy barn. The con-
crete troughs and hangers are
more sanitary than the wooden
ones and insure the animals
being sanitarily fed, as these
troughs can easily be thoroughly
cleaned at stated intervals or as
often as necessary. Animals
fed out Of a trough Of this kind
get all the feed and that is not
only a sanitary precaution but
an economical one as we'll.
"lnfor nation for the putting
in Of concrete can easily be had
from the Department N just the
same lines as other work from
the several Advisers. The farm.
ers Of Pennsylvania should take
this matter up as it Is going to
mean dollars to them in the flu
ture."

A Good Laugh.

Encourage your child to be
merry and to laugh aloud; good,
hearty laugh expands his chest
and makes his blood bound
merrily along. Commend me to
a good laugh-not a little snig-
gering laugh but toonethat sounds
through the house; it will not only
do your child good; but will be a
benefit to all who hear, and be
an important means Of driving
the blues away from a dwelling.
Merriment is very catching and
spreads in a remarkable manner,
few being able to resist the con-
tagion. A hearty laugh is de-
lightful harmony; indeed it is the
best of all music.

CuItivatiDg the Corn Crop.

The production OF more bush
els of corn to the acre this year
than ever before Is urged by the
Pennsylvania State College. 1t
is already too late tor further
consideration of good seed, fer
tillzatlon and the preparation OF
the seed bed. Cultivation now Of
fers the greatest opportunity for
increased yield.
Much should already have been
accomplished in the cultivation
of corn, through the preparation
of a deep moist seeded, in which
all grass and weeds are COM
pletely plowed under. Any
weeds since plowlng should have
been killed by thorough dlsking
or narrowing.
Cultivation should start early,
soon after the corn Is up. A
drag or a asplketooth harrow, or
a weeder, should be used at this
time. 1t is often advisable to get
over the crop twice the first III
days or 2 weeks with one OF
these implements.
Ordinary cultivation should be-
gin when the corn Is few inches,
high. The chief benefit of corn
cultivation should be the killing
OF weeds. To do this success
fully, the weeds shouldnot be per-
mitted to get much of a start,
The tendency has been to over
emphasize the Importance of the
soil mulch. Just so long as
weeds are controlled, without In
juring the corn roots, satisfac'
tory results may be obtained.
The shallower the cultivation,
the better, IN case of most soils.
Ordinarily three CIVILIZATIONS
are sufficient unless the ground
Is very weedy. Certainly with
present labor conditions, addi.
tional cultivation should not be
given unless necessltated by the
persistent growth of weeds and
grass, ssys E, L. Worthen, Of
the Pennsylvania State College
agronomy department.

WHAT 1T Is.


This day to some is beginning day,
This day to others the end;
When climbing the hill or mounting the top,
To God let us look and pray.
This world to some is busy world.
This world to others repose
By doing our best or reclining in ease,
This world is what it is.
This life to some is a joyous life,
This life to others a drear;
By enjoying our work or enduring our task,
This life is what it is.
This place to some is a Heavenly place,
This place to others hell;
By exaltng Thy praise or drifting the tide,
This place is what it is.

intimation is an injustice to Pitt.
