plants. as they are shucking out the
corn at harvest. The ears from these
superior plants are thrown into box
at the front Of the wagon, and are kept
separately, so that they will have the
best of opportunities to dry quickly.
Then, in the winter, these growers Sc
lect out the types Of ears they want
for seed. In this way their seed ears
are all Of the right type and very good
plants.
Seed ears should come from medium
sized plants, which stand up straight
and which show good evidences of ma
turing early. These plants should be
free from suckers and should be in av-
erage conditions as regards soil, mois-
ture, feed and light. Ears should be
heavy and of medium fair size.-Waldo

Improve Glover Yields
by Use of Crop Rotation

; A mans ability as farmer may well
be judged by his clover fields, think
workers of the Ohio experiment sta
ton. Large fields Of heavy-yielding
clover invariably indicate good rota-
ton and intelligent soil conservation.
In order to get a good stand of
clover, good seed well inoculated is the
first consideration, say the Ohio men.
Then use lime and phosphoric acid If
the soil needs them. Finally, provide
an abundance Of vegetable matter In
the soil by using short rotation.
The Ohio experiment station started
cropping a 4O-acre field used for va
riety testing in 1894. The first ten
years the field was given one applica-
ton of manure for each rotation. Then
the rotation was shortened one year by
dropping the timothy while limestone
and acid phosphate were added to the
application of manure.
j AS a result of the improved treat
ment of the soil, the clover yield in
creased 1873 per cent. Corn yields
climbed from 48 to IA bushels; oats
from As to 81 bushels, wheat from 81
to 93 bushels, and clover hay from 1.5
tons to 35 tons.

Simple Rule to Insure
Profit From Home Garden

Though the insect, fungus and bac-
terial pests that trouble garden, orna-
mental and orchard plants number
among the thousands, they can be fair
ly we'll controlled even by the anna
teur, says v. R. Gardner, of the Mis-
souri, College Of Agriculture.
Fortunately, the amateur does not
need to know all the pests by name to
control them. Let him remember that
most cankers, leaf spots, scabs. blights,
willis, mildews and rusts are the work
of fungus or bacterial diseases and
that insects are of two main types
those that eat holes and those that
suck juices through bill-and he has
fair chance of diagnosing accurately
the general cause Of his trouble. Then
let him remember that bordeaux mix
ture is a leading remedy for a consid-
cradle percentage Of the diseases, ar
senate of lead for the chewing insects
and tobacco in one form or another for
the sucking insects; let him provide
himself with these materials and with
good busting apparatus or liquid
sprayer for putting them on and he is
ready for the battle. Let him remem-
Der that a vigorous offensive is often
the best defense and take the battle
into the enemy's territory.

Some men can't take advice, because
all their time is spent in giving it.
Rats are enemies of the harvest
let the youngsters and the dogs loose
upon them.
Neither timothy hay nor sudan grass
is a very good feed for milk cows. 1t
takes three tons Of sudan hay to equal
one ton Of alfalfa.
Low milk yields during the summer
may be due to bothersome flies. There
are sprays on the market that act as
a repellant of flies.
City and village markets offer a good
opportunity to producers of perishables
to sell at a profit and yet at a price
the consumer is willing to pay.
Milk is on the average about 81 per
cent water, and cows giving milk need
to drink about four times as much as
dry cows drink. See that they have
plenty that is clean and fresh.

The wet weather this spring has
been mighty good for potatoes and
will be just as good for late blight.
The growers who have been spraying
with bordeaux this season have been
taking out a good kind of insurance
against blight.

crop Is planted, Delwiche mentions as
another secret Of success in getting
alfalfa established.
The experiments have shown that
lime is not necessary for alfalfa on
the red clays, though it usually in
creases the yield. Fair results on this
soil come from incubation alone. The
silt loans will only meet the demands
of an alfalfa crop when plenty of lime
Is used along with the incubation.
Hardy Varieties Desirable.
Delwiche recommends the hardy
strains, such as Grimm and Cossack,
when the crop is to stand more than
two or three years. For short rota-
lions, northern-grown, common strains
have given satisfactory results.
Because clover is failing to keep up
on some Of the old fields, Delwiche is
convinced that alfalfa has a place in
the farming system of northern Wis
consin. Clover may yield as much as
alfalfa on new land, but for some
lttle-known reason it is not doing well

Failure to think helps some men to
succeed in failing.
The best way to keep the wheat
moth away is give the grain an early
thrashing.
There's more milk in the pals and
less purchased feed on tho farms
which are planted with more legume
seed.
In packing your fruit remember that
80 good apples can never make sim
gle bad one look good, but one bad
apple can spoil the sale Of so good
ones.
It's possible to increase the potato
crop by spraying. Bordeaux mixture
with lead arsenate added will pre-
vent late blight and get the potato bug
also. Spray oftener If the season Is
cool and wet, than during dry weather.
