Disk Before Flowing

Disking ground before plowing in
the spring may be the means of add
ing two or three bushels Of corn
per acre, in the opinion of John
Slipher. state extension soils special
ist. He cites experiments carried
on in Nebraska over period of six
years, which indicate that corn
yields there were increased about
three bushels to the acre by this
practice This year in Ohio much
of the plowing for corn has already
been done due to favorable winter
weather. Early spring plowing has
decided advantages, Mr. Slipher
points out. because il saves m0is-
ture and allows corn to be planted
at the most favorable season. A
weeks delay in plowing may cause
enough water to be lost on an acre
to grow IL bushels of coPn.-Ohio

Figuring Silage Price

Because it is impossible to move
silage, it is frequently necessary for
tenants to sell unused feed. Arriv-
ing at a fair price is difficult be-
cause the silage does not have
regular trading value. At Ohio
State university dairy men have fig
ured that a ton of silage has about
one third the feeding value of good
mixed hay, depending on how grain
is in the silage. 1t has been found
that a ton of silage contains approx
imately the same amount of nutri-
ents found in seven bushels of corn,
or In Az bushels of corn and 600
pounds Of corn stover of medium
moisture content. In deciding the
price of silage figure out the value
of each of these comparative feeds.
If the figures differ greatly, add
them together and divide by three

Washington. - The amount Of

since World war days.
Treasury officials attribute TIE In
creased receipts of mutilated cur

boarding activities which followed

failures, says the Chicago Tribune.
Beginning shortly after the bank

Nations Beef Cattle

Total number of beef cattle in the
United States, January 1, 1881, was
35,9S0000. The figures are taken
from the 1881 Yearbook of Agricul-
ture.
As the population of the United
States is 122, 2,698,19O, this gives one
beef cattle to every three and two
ffths persons.
The II far western states have
7,924,000 beef cattle, or % per cent
Of the total for the United States. .

all but incredible to the layman.
Here is case in point:
Not long ago a citizen of Ohio ap-
peared at the national bank redemp-
ton agency with a box securely
bound with adhesive tape, in which
he said there repOsed the remains
of 500. He had drawn the money
from the bank, he said, put II in a

the cans and the 800 were reduced

mass he wanted redeemed for real
money.
The sympathetic superintendent
of the agency turned the case over
to the experts and by noon next day
they had identified not $7OO but
S7l0, and had authorized payment of
the money in full. Whereupon the
citizen of Ohio admitted he had ex-
pected to retrieve only about hall
his 500.
In order to make this restitution
the experts were faced with the
problem of ascertaining. from hardly
more than a handful of ashes. first
whether the ashes were those of
genuine currency; second, the ex-
act denomination Of each note and

member banks had issued the notes.

deposit it in banks he believed to

The extremely delicate work of
making good this mutilated money
is done by several women clerks of
long experience, whose word as to
the authenticity of the claim is vir.
tually infallible.
The task Of ascertaining the valid

sent in by hoarders as the remains
of good money is particularly ex-
acting in the national bank redemp-
tion agency, which redeems national
and federal reserve bank notes. In
this bureau not only must the re-
mains be identified as genuine cur

but the expert must also ascertain
the member bank which issued IT.
In the redemption division of the
treasurer's office. where notes of
United States issue are redeemed,
only the fact that the remains are
those of real money is necessary for
redemption to be made. In both bu-
reaus, of course. the experts must

the destroyed notes.
