sIAAoE CORN sEEe SHOULD
 nE sELEcYEn AT HOME
By F. c. HOLDEr

Among farmers who have silos the belief is quite general that they must have some special variety of corn for silage, and 1t Is q common practice for them to secure seed for their sii- age corn from section farther south in order to set an excessive growth Of stalks and extra tonnage.
 This practice usually produces more tons to the acre at sifo filling time: it generally fails to produce more tons of real feed. as does corn grown from the regular field crop. This is partic- uiarly true in the corn belt. and 1t always results in large but late-ma- turing and sometimes earless stalks at silo- filling time.
 Farmers in the northern edge Of the United States are justified in their de- sire to produce more tons to the acre than they can grow from their small dent or flint varieties. but 1t is not good practice to go to the other ex- treme and plant a variety that pro- duces green, watery. cariess siiage.
 Tn the corn. belt there Is no better plan than to grow the same variety of corn for the siio that is planted for the regular field crop. We should also remember that as much real feed can be produced If the corn Is not planted any thicker for the silo than it is for husking and cribbing. <
 The right practice to follow in the northern states is for each farmer to go into his field of si1age corn, before it Is cut, gather the ears that are the most nearly matured, string them up and save them for seed.
 It isa a mistake for us to s,iniS that corn must ripcn on the stalk in order
Norwich bulletin., 1919-11-05

 to make good seed. Experiments have shown that corn will grow well when gathered at the hard roasting -ear tage.
 If we select these early maturing ears. carefully dry them and piant them. the corn. during the following year. will be a little nearer mature and, at the same time. produce large tonnage to the acre After a few. years of this selection variety of corn will be developed that will get fairly well matured by silo- filling time and still be silage corn. It is always possible for us to select our own seed, even though the corn never fully ma lures.
 Feeding tests and chemical analysis prove that corn has the most feeding value when it is mature enough to cut and put in shock The best time to put corn in the siio is just few days before this stage is reached. In order to get corn this near ripe in the north- ern states it is necessary that the seed 1 be selected at home.
 We should always remember that for all purposes and under all normal conditions it is best to plant seed corn that was grown at home.

WINDHAM

The bean supper and Halloween so- cial given by the c. E. society Friday evening was a very successful affair. About 70 persons enjoyed supper of beans, rolls. cake and coffee. The chapel and tables were prettily deco rated with autumn leaves. black and orange crepe paper and Halloween emblems of black cats, witches, pump kins, etc. There were no waitresses, the supper being served in cafetaria style. A musical program included piano solo by Marian Potter. violin solo by Paul Hopkins and piano duet by Mrs. Paul Hopkins and Miss Helen Hopkins. A company of goblins led by Polly Bixby dressed as a witch fur nished much merriment. Wilma Far rington was awarded the prize of box of candy for wearing the funniest cos tune. The proceeds amounted to about s17. The affair was in charge of the president. Alfred Abbe, and the social committee. Russell Potterl Helen Hop kins, Charlotte Lathrop. Clarence Beckwith Elizabeth Anderson and c. A. Keenev, and they were assisted by Mrs H. L. Bingham. When some of those who motored to the supper were ready to go home their cars were miss ing They were discovered later near by. one in the schoolyard, where they had been. rolled by some of the boys in the neighborhood. who also amused themselves in other ways.

KIND OF COW rs, IMPORTANT

More attention should be paid to the kind of cows kept and the way they are cared for. In these times of high and scarce feeds it is very easy matter to lose money on poor COWS.
 Milk drawn at night and morning differs considerably in the percentage of fat. This is not due to any ma- terial difference between the milk be- ing seereted by night or by day. but because of unequal difference between the periods. When cows lie still there is a larger per cent of water and a cGrrespondingly less percentage of solids in milk Generally speaking, period. This has been determined where cows are mixed three, four or five times a day.
 Cows vary from day to day. Usual ly this can be accounted for by change of feed, sudden. changes in the weather, iadtsnosition of animals. etc. There Is always a variation between be- tween the milk first drawn and that I1st drawn, The first is very low in fat, H'h le the last or 'strippings is very rich. Sometimes this may be as much as l and 10 per cent, respectiyaly The larger globules of fat being nearly as large as the small milk ducts. pass along less rapidly than the milk fluid
 The amount and the character of food have considerable influence upon the quantity of the milk. But the quantity is more easily affected by changes in the character of the food than the quantity. Cows kept under favorable conditions, with an abund ant supply of food it is hardly pos sible to increase the proportion of fats to other solids by a change in the food But while the amount of the various constituents of the milk Is not easily affected by the food. the quail ty of the constituents themselves may

15.s eggs per hen at feed cost of s.7 cents per dezen.
 The LeghoynS produce smaller eggs thar the general. purpose breeds. The average weight of the eggs of a pen of Leghorns during the first laying year was 1-4z pounds per dozen as against 1.E3 to i.ks pounds for the oth- CT pens. HeNever. Lcenorns laying eggs weighing 1.s0 pounds Der dozen or even more, the specialists say, have been Eeiecked and bred by many poui- trymeH. An examination in May. 1915, of 300 eggs from three Leghcrn pens showed that sI per cent. weighed naore< than two ounces each. or 1.5o pounds to tic dozen.
 The vaIHe per dozen, of the eggs produced By the Leghorns was from l to 3 cents less each year than the eggs Of tho genera,- purpose hens. This diff ference is due te the fact that the gen. eyal-purp6se breeds are better winter layers than the Leghorns., while the latter give a higher production in the spring and summer. Very few Leg horns become broody, which probably materially affects their egg purposs breeds Better fertility in the eggs especially with stock confined to ths years, Is more often secured. the ex- perts say, with Legforns than witf the general purpose or any or ths heavier breeds.

CLEAR CUT. LAND

The fair weather days of the autumn afford the farmer an opportunity to undertakke the clearing of land for which he has no time in the busy sum- mer months. and which cannot be done while the land is wet in the spring. On thousands. of farms there are cut over tracts which should be converted into revenue producers as soon as pos isible. If the owner decides that the land in question is better suited to crop production than7tc forest growth, a careful study of the most economic al method of removing stumps and small growths should be made. Most cut-ovev land passes through three stages before reaching its greatest agricultural value. The waste and small growth is disposed of first then it is allowed to remain in stumps for a few seasons, until the smaller stumps are dead and decayed, during
 which time it is used for pasture or
 may. be cultivated. Finally, all the
 stumps are removed
 Generally 1t is best to cut brush as close as possible to the ground and avoid leaving sharp points that might injure stock. However, if the wood is of no value and the ground is not to be cultivated before the stumps are removed, it may be best to cut the trees rather. high above the ground If the stumTs are left three feet high
 there will be less sprouting than ii
 cut down low, and such stumps are
 more easily pulled.
 1 The most successful method oi keeping down sprout growth is by
 heavy pasturing by goats, sheen ci l cattle, in the order named An, 1 sprouts not killed by pasturing shoult
 be cut or knocked off with the heaa l of an axe

FARMER SHOULD KNOW
 VALUE OF WOOD LOT

Lack of familiarity with business timebreselling usually puts the owner of a small woodland at a disadyan- tage, and in many regions material from the woodiot is sold for consid- erably less than it's real value. The loss to the farmers is, in the aggregate. very large In order to stop this loss. It is necessary that the farmer inform himself about the different kinds of grades of wood-lot rroducts, the
 methods of selling, the. markets and the current market prices. Especial ly does he need reliable information about tn amount and real value of his standing timber and the location of good markekts. Farmers Bulletin 71s, which may be had free, contains de- tailed information on these. points,

QUALITY OF CREAM REGULATES BUTTER

The dairy farmer, the producer of milk and cream, controls the quality and price of butter. If he furnishes cream of good. quality, he. makes pos
 sible the manufacture Of good butter, which will command the highest price on the market. If he supplies cream: of inferior. quality low grade but
 ter is bound to be; made from it, which means smallS returns for the product The dairy farmer iss the con
 trolling power which determines the destiny of the dairy industry. The
 care he gives the cream on the farm determines the financial returns from the butter determine the pros perity of the dairy farmer, because the price the creamery pays for but :. ter fat is necessarily largely regulat ed by the price the butter brings on the market.

HOW TO DESTROY vERMlN ON
 HENS

Examinegthe bullets and hens forl lice, and dust thoroughly with a good insect powder or apply mixture of. two parts of vaseline and one part of mercurial or blue ointment, about the. size of a pea, one inch below the vent of the bird, rubbing the mixture light. ly on the skin. An application of this. ointment two~lera three times a year, will keep the fowls free from lice. Where insect powder is used it should be applied three or four times year, or oftener if the fowls become infested. Provide a small box in the house, partly filled with dry road dust or fine dirt. in which the hens may dust, thus helping to keep themselves free from lice.

THE AeRIcuLTuRAL LADDER.

study made by w. J. Spillman. formerly in charge of farm manage ment of the department of agricul- -= ture, of the rate at which men become farm owners, shows that a group con- sisting of owners who had passed through the three stages. namely sun-i paid laborer on the home farm. hired man and tenant to that of owner con- stituted 20 per cent. of the 2,112 farm owners in the states of Illinois. Iowa. Kansas, Nebraska and Minnesota &C.,. cording to data collected in 1917. A second group of those who had gone from Unpaid laborer to hired hand. then to owner constituted 13 per cent. of the whole; those Wno had akipped the hired man stage g per cent. and those progressing direct from unpaid -laberer on the home farm to owner 34 per cent.
 A second phase o& the investigation. shows that just two thirds of these men obtained their farms by purchase. Twenty-four and one half per cent of the whole number obtained their farms by inheritance. per cent by mar riagc, and 1.5 per cent. by homestead ing"

FEEDING CALVES

Calves are usually fed whole milk for two to three weeks, then gradually changed to skim milk. About the time of changing begin to feed a little grain. but do not think 1t is is necessary to use oilmeal or any other high -priced feed, high in protein or fath or both Experiments at the Missouri experi- ment station show that a mixture of two parts of corn and one part of oats. by weight gives as food results as oiimeai and ready mixed cali meals often purchased at much higgher prices. Bran is not especially good for the young calf, because it is toe laxative. The grain mixture should be fed immediately after the milk and neither should be fed too literally oI SCOUTS may result

LEGHoRNs AS EGG eErTERs

Leghorns produce eggs cheaper than hens of the general purpose breed-- Plymouth Rocks. Wyandottes, Rhode Island Reds and Orpingtcns- This fact, which confirms the belief and ex- rerience of Ycommerrial poultry fay mers, was ons Of the results obtained in 2 rather extensive feeding test Fe- ported by poultryrnen of the depart nent of agriculture.
 Because they lay as many or more eggs, eat only about 55 pounds of feed per head, as compared with 10 to. Ss pounds eaten by the general purpose breed. and because their egg yield very materially exceeds that of gem eral-purpose breeds during their sec end and third laying years. Leghorns, the specialists say. undoubtedly are more profitable to keep for the pro- duction of eggs only.
 In this test the feed cost of dozen eggs for one of the Leghorn pens was 7.S4 cents in 1913. while the ave- rage cost of all the pens of the gen. serai- purpose breeds was 10.s cents. In 1914 the feed cost of dozen eggs for the same pen of Leghorns was ST cents, as against an average cost of l6.1 cents for the second laying year of the general purpose pens. uring their third laying year the cost of a dozen eggs was S.8 cents compared te iS.6 cents for the general -purpeSe fowls. The total value of eggs per hen over feed cost in the Leghorn pen for three years was $s.s4, against $4,go for the general purpose hens The high est egg production obtained in any of the feeding experiments up to 1915 was by a pen of Leghorhs which iaid

All you have to do is to take them out and rinse them!
 And they are snowy white and clean! Only a few very soiled places, like cuff edges, need light rubbing between your hands. That is what RINSO is doing for thousands of women who have al. ready secured it. It has changed their whole W1y of washing. And those same women felt as you now feel, when they first heard of .RINSO'S wonderful results-they couldn't believe it! And now they are like Mrs. Terry whose letter is given here-they have found that the old way of washing is gone-and that the new RINSo way of soaking your clothes clean has entirely eliminated the hardest work housewife has to do-wash- day boiling and rubbing. Use RINSo yourself this week-see how it really soaks your clothes ciean-see if you don'tNfeel just as enthusiastic as Mrs. Terry does.

 You just put your clothes to soak with a new soap product.
 You have been told so often of ma clinics that would wash your clothes for you, of products that would get the dirt out without any work on your part, that the story of this new product is going to be hard for you to believe.
 It is hard to believe that a simple soap product, absolutely harmless, can, just by soaking overnight, so loosen the dirt in your clothes that when they are rinsed in the morn ing, all the dirt comes out.
 As matter of fact, if the overnight soaking is inconvenient, three hours soaking will accomplish the same wonderful result.
