methods OF handling bees, particularly
as TO wintering them and freeing them
from diseases and pests. y
Mr.. Wixon will be in this state un-

Teacherage and Farm For The
Teacher.

Another plan we should greatly
like to see given a thorough try-out
is that of providing the teacher with
a cottage to live in, and at least five
acres of land that he might have on
which to grow his living. School au-
thorities tell us that one Of our edu-
cational problems is to get and keep
good teachers. The teacherage and a
few acres of land, all adjacent to the
school building. would do much to-
ward solving this problem, in our
opinion. Such cottage for the
teacher and his family, with a few
acres for fruits, vegetables and truck
crops. would be worth at least $500
or $500 a year, and should be a
splendid incentive for holding a
frst-class principal. We believe also
that any really nice school building
should have some one near it the
year round to look after it and keep
it in decent condition. We hand this
little thought on to Progressive
Farmer readers, in the hope that
some of them may think enough Of
it to give it trial.-The Progressive
Farmer.

Save All The Corn Crop

Sixty per cent of the value Of the
corn crop is in the grain and 40 per
cent in the stalks and leaves. Prob
ably not over 10 per cent Of all
farmers are getting full value from
the corr crop. The time is coming
when practically all of the farmers
will realize the folly Of wasting so
large a part of their crop.
Rats are permitted to eat and
waste millions of dollars worth Of
graz every year. This waste may be
prevented at small cost The corn
stalks and all should be harvested.
Whether the corn is to 60 into the
silo or to the husker-shredder or, in
the case of the small farmer, TO the
feed cutter, it should first be cut
close to the ground. A sled type Of
corn harvester or a corn binder may
be used to cut the corn. The corn
binder, makes a large saving posi-
bic in manual labor and time, for it
does six or eight times as much work
in a day under average conditions
as a man would do.
The increasing use Of silos is
creating a big demand for ensilage
machinery. There are millions OF
farmers who have not yet seen the
light on the silo question, but the
number is rapidly diminishing. This
means, that thousands should buy
and use corn harvesters, corn bin
ders, balers and silo filters.
A corn shelter and corn mill to
grind the grain into meal are profita-
BILE machines on many farms. The
metal corn crib prevents the de-
struction of millions of dollars worth
of corn by rats and there is a con-
stantly and growing demand for such
cribs.-The Progressive Farmer.
