The name Saturnian days was given
In q mythical period In the early hss-
tory OF Italy. when the god Saturn
shared the throne with Janus, the
reigning king, and BY his mild. pacile
and beneicent rule raised the people
TO relatively high degree Of civiliaa-
ton. Agriculture and the useful arts
siourished throughout the land; limo

relgned. and sorrows were forgotten.

In honor Of Saturn. The phrase
"Saturnian days" Is used at present 70

Sailing Down Soft Corn
Has Beneficial Effect

While sailing soft corn is not con-
sidered a "cure-all" the use OF from
~ to / pound for 100 pounds Of grain
Is recommended for preventing molds
and to forestall heating. Tests at the
Iowa experiment station indicate that
the use Of salt has a beneficial effect
on soft corn
After placing layer OF corn III
or 2 feet thick In the crib, the salt
should be scattered over 1t In the pro-
portion Indicated When another 2
feet of corn is added, the process
should be repeated.
The possibility Of using salt on soft
corn was suggested In 1917 by Sam
Sampson of McCallsburg, Iowa. His
son had used salt In crib OF soft
corn and he was convinced that the
corn would have spoiled had it not
been for the salt. The corn was fed
to hogs with very satisfactory results.
Mr.. Sampson told the writer that the
sailed corn did not freeze as hard in
The coolest weather, as the unsalted
corn. This, was great advantage as
the corn could be fed with ease at
any time.-H. D. Hughes, Iowa E1

Lining Treatment Will
Increase Yield of Corn

Lining for legumes has Secome such
q common practice that the Idea Is
often held that these crops are the
only field crops that viii respond to
this treatment. vt Is, of course, true
that sweet clover. alfalfa and red
clover, will not grow probably on sour
soils and lime Is often necessary to
establish them Few other field crops
are so sensitive that they fall with
out lire, but though they may not fail
utterly without this treatment there
are some that profit by It. Among
these crops Is corn.
On 10 fields Of the Missouri expert
ment station where one and one-half
toms of lime were used every SIX years
in the rotation of corn, oats, wheat
and clover, the increases In bushels
of corn per acre aB a result Of Inning
20 as high as TO bushels with an av-
erage Of 500 bushels With conserv-
alive price Of go cents for corn, this
gives a net profit of 81 cents per
year on a dollar invested. Surely at
the rate of 81 per cent profit, one
need have no great hesitation In CALI
ing attention to lining for corn as
well as TO lining for legumes, especial
ly when the effect from lime may be
partly lost, since 1t goes on to the
ground ahead Of the wheat and two
years pass before the corn comes
round In the rotation.

Doctoring Of Chickens
Not to Be Recommended

The doctoring Of poultry is not to be
recommended except in case of few
diseases such as chicken pox, colds
and cases of intestinal worms There
are two very good reasons for this
belief: First, the unit Of production
of the individual bird is SO small on
the commercial plant that If mans
time is worth anything it is too valu-
able to spend treating sick chickens
individually unless they are show
specimens of great individual value.
Second, the. cured chicken is always
q menace to the health Of the flock,
because its identity is likely to be
overlooked or forgotten, and 1t goes
into the breeding pen and may per-
petuate through the offspring that con-
stitutional weakness that was one Of
the primary causes of its being i'll.
The opinion Of practically all poultry
men who rear large numbers of fowls
is, that in large proportion OF cases
of disease the birds ought to be
killed The only treatment recon-
mended for the poultryman is to give
treatment when it can be applied to
a flock conveniently and with reason
able expectation Of beneficial results.
Treat individuals only when the
treatment is simple, easy and needs
to be administered but very few
times. Storrs (Conn.) Egg Laying

Check Soil Erosion
by Bench Terracing
Gives Best Results Used on
Any Steep Slope.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
Soil erosion, which annually results
In enormous losses to the farmers OF
the United States, Is most effectively
prevented or controlled by terracing.
There are two distinct types Of ter
races, the United States Department
Of Agriculture points out in Farmers
Bulletin 1886, Terracing Farm Lands.
Just published For use on moderate
slopes the ridge terrace Is best
adapted, it says, while for steep
slopes the bench terrace gives the
best results.
The ridge terraces are divided into
the narrow-base and the broad-base
types. The broad-base terrace can be
cultivated and can be readily crossed
by modern farm machinery without
injury to the terrace; the narrow
base terrace does not possess either
OF these advantages, and under ordl-
nary circumstances is less desirable
than the broad-base type.
The broad-base, level-ridge terrace
is laid out absolutely level. This
more nearly meets the requirements
Of an ideal terrace than any other
type. It's distinct advantage over the
terrace with fall is that practically
none OF the fertile parts of the soil
are removed from the field 1t Is
particularly suitable for use on open,
permeable soils. When used in con-
nection with tile drains on any type
Of soil it unquestionably Is the most
effective method employed to stop
erosion. The broad-base, grade-ridge
terrace, generally known as the Man
gum terrace possesses all the advan-
tages of the broad-base, leyel-ridge
terrace with the exception of the one
Just stated. 1t may be used on any
type OF soil, but Is recommended for
use only on soils where the broad
base, level-ridge terrace without tile
drainage cannot be used successfully.

WSCONSIN'S HAY

Use Of heavy yields than in southern
Wisconsin. There is a good, heavy
growth of alsike clover in mixed hay
fields. The condition Of tame hay for
the state this year is 88 per cent, COM
pared to 68 per cent last year. The
present condition indicates a crop "A
per cent above last year and IL per

little clover and timothy hay have
been cut up to this time, and good
haying weather is needed to harvest
the crop.
The first growth Of alfalfa was rank
and, In many cases, extremely heavy.
a yield of 10 tons is reported for the
first cutting, which was difficult to
cure and to save due to frequent
rains. There is enough moisture in
the ground to give the second crop
good start.

Operation Of Threshing
Machine Is Important

Several things may be wrong with
a standard threshing machine when
it fails to separate all of the grain
from the straw. AS rule the thresh-
erman is not so much interested in
getting every bushel Of grain from
the straw as is the farmer whose
grain be is threshing. It is good
thing for the crop owner, however, to
be versed on the operation Of the ma
chine enough to know when the ma
chine Is doing good work
There are four main causes when
the grain comes through into the
straw: "a The machine Is not be-
ing run at its proper speed, (2) the
cylinder fails to thrash all of the ker-
nels out Of the heads, (3) the separ-
ating mechanism is not level, or az
the blast is not adjusted properly.

standing the heavy strain of continued
egg production. Her head is neat,
feminine, and clear with no extra
flesh Her beak is short. strong and
slightly curved. The distance from
the eye to the point of the beak Is
short, while the eye itself is large,
bright and prominent. In other words,
she has what in cattle is called "dairy
temperament
Long, broad, deep bodies are good
signs of high productive capacity. A
square body with PARALLEL top and
bottom lines gives the most room for
food and for egg development. Body
and head type are big factors in de-
'termining the laying ability Of a hen.
Noting Time Is Good Guide.
That melting time is reliable indi-
cation of the good layer has been
shown by repeated tests. The hen
that starts to mott lates in the sea-
son Is the Eongdistance layer that
pays for her keep. Early molters are
the drones of the flock. One excep-
ton to this rule Is the good layer
which was fed an insufficient ration
during the summer. Not getting
enough food to lay, she starts molting
early.
Yellow color in the skin, beak and
shanks is a good Indicator Of wheth-
er the hen is laying or not. If she is
laying heavily, Halpin states, the
color fades out. After several months
