PRESERVATION OF SOFT CORN
Farmers Should Work 1t Over, Remove
Any Damaged Ears and Put

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture,l
Soft corn which has been stored in
large cribs during cold and freezing
weather, without specially improvised
ventilators, is practically certain to
get out of condition as soon as the
weather warns up in the spring. To
preserve such corr farmers should
work it over, remove any damaged
ears, and put in ventilators.
The best way to dispose of soft corn
is to feed on the farm all that can be
consumed to advantage, but don't
waste it.
The concentration of shelled corn ir
country elevators during the next few
months is practically certain to lead tc
disaster unless it can be transported
to feeding centers or to terminals fol

as the terminating season.
Whenever practicable the drying
temperature should be lowered and The
time of drying increased, to proven
excessive breakage.
All old corr should be CAREFUL,

Do not delay the securing of suitable

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agr-culture)
Three systems of culture are used
in growing raspberries, the hill, the
linear, and the hedge systems. The
term hill system is restricted to that
method of tillage in which the horse
c%ultivator is used on all sides of each
plant. When the c%ultivator is run in
only one direction and only the plants
originally set are allowed to fruit, the
term linear system is used. If some
of the suckers which come from the
roots of red ~raspberries are left to
form a solid row and the cultivator is
run in n direction only, the term
hedge system" is employed.
The distance between the rows in
each of these systems should be de-
termined by economy in the cost of
cultivation and in the use of land.
Where the area of land available for
planting is not limited, usually it will
be found most desirable to make the
spaces between the rows wide enough
to allow the use of two-horse imple-
ments in cultivation. Where the area
Of land is limited, the rows may be
placed closer together and one-horse
implements used.
Planting Distances.
Under the hill system of culture the
plants usually are set about five fee
apart each way. This, however, al
lows the use Of one-horse c%ultivator<
only. This is used to some extent in
New York and other states in raising
red raspberries. 1t has the advantage
of requiring less handwork in keeping
out grass and weeds, as the cultivatol
can be run in both directions and the
berries can be more easily harvested
from fields under this system.
If the hedge or linear system is used
the horse c%ultivator can be run in on,
direction only and more hoeing is nee
essary. Under these systems the ret
varieties usually should be set from
to 8 feet apart in rows which are 6 tt
s feet distant. In the eastern Unite
States 6 feet is the most common ant
desirable distance between the row
for the shorter caned varieties, sucl
as the Ruby and Marlboro, and Z an
8 feet for the tall-caned varieties, Xix
the Cuthbert. To use two horses in
plantation the rows must be at leas
s feet apart. In the Pacific northwest
where the canes grow very tall, til
planting distance for red raspberrie
IS usually pa by Z or s feet. In part

BALANCED RATION FOR cows.
Use Such Feeds in Such Amounts as
Will Give Greatest Production

The fine point in feeding dairy cows
is to use such feeds in such amounts
as will give the greatest production at
the most profit. This calls for bal
anced rations. With feed prices at
their present attitudes it will pay dali
rymen to make a special study of their
feeding practices.
