?T MUCH SOFT CORN. To Poor For Commerce and Will Ba Fed on Farms. Much question having arisen as to ; the conditions of the corn crop, which j the completion of husking has revealed, the American Agriculturist, aften an " Independent investigation upon this point, reports in part as follows: It Is the almost universal testimony Of the correspondents In the Important corn states, and particularly In the Ohio and Missouri valleys, that the : quality of the crop is even poorer than was believed a month ago. Completion j Of husking emphasizes the fact that the grain this year is unusually im mature, soft and full of moisture and that it is not of a quality to insure its safe keeping. Heavy Farm Feeding. The comparati vely high prices ruling having led some to the opinion that a larger part of the crop would be market ed in commercial channels than usual, the returns upon this point in a deciJei majority of cases were that more than the ordinary percentage of this year's crop would be fed upon farms. This Is accounted for by the poor quality of the crop, which renders a large part of It unavailable for commercial purposes, by the liberal supply of hogs and cattle for feeding purposes and by the fact that on account of Its Inferior nutritive value a larger amount than usual must be fed in order to accomplish the same results. Fortunate Districts. On the other hand, in a good many localities, particularly In Kansas, Mis souri and the more southern part of the belt where the crop dried out better, the present disparity In price between corn and fat hogs and cattle makes the Bale of corn more attractive, and there are Indications that It will be sold close and animals carried over for fu ture feeding. This tendency, however, apparently is about offset by the fact that animals already fitted for market are being held and further fed because of "the recent low prices for fat stock. CORN BIN. An Arrangement Suggested For Stor ing Shelled Corn. Storage for shelled corn is a condi tion that does not have to be provided for in some sections: but, as it seems to be rapidly coming to the front in BIN FOB SHELLED COKN. Others, 11. II. Mitchell sends to Coun try tii'utU'inau the accompanying illus tration of an arrangement to meet thin need, submitting it for what it may be worth. As may be seen, it is a bin with a slanting Boor, having cracks perhaps an eighth of an inch in width, divided Into compartments by hollow parti tions. A trough, A, makes it conven ient to shovel up the corn. The parti tion 15, the end C and the sides I) and E should also be slats an eighth of an Inch apart. The divisions Ii could be made of two inch furring strips nailed on both sides of the same for battens. The width of each compartment would have to be determined by ex periment, but probably eight inches would be about right. Of course the depth and height would be a matter of convenience. Tests With Barley. At the Montana experiment station the average results of a two years' test with twenty-three varieties of barley showed that Guy Mayle, a dark ker ueled hulless variety, gave the largest yield. New Zealand, a two rowed high grade brewing barley, stood second. The hulless varieties produced the lar gest quantity of feed. The two rowed varieties gave much larger yields than the sU rowed varieties, and in the six rowed sorts large yields of grain were associated with large yields of straw. The average results show a yield of 1.25 pounds of straw for each pound of grain in the two rowed varieties, 1.31 pounds of straw to each pound of grain in the six rowed -varieties and one pound of straw to each pound of grain in the hulless barley. Early ma turing varieties gave in general light yields. t Alfalfa Yields. In co-operative tests with farmers at the Maryland experiment station the reports received show yields ranging from two and a quarter to seven tons per acre. One farmer reported a yield of five tons per acre on a field of sixty-six acres seeded twelve years ago. The results of "Inoculation tests showed the value of using alfalfa and sweet clover 6oil for this purpose. Of the farmers reporting 122 had good stands at the time of making their reports, while SG had been unsuc cessful. Of the successful parties 91 used manure, 66 lime, 57 commercial fertilizer, 39 commercial fertilizer and lime, 52 manure and lime, 33 manure and lime and commercial fertilizer, 7 a nurse crop, 41 soil inoculation, and B2 seeded In the f alL Fruit and Fi owers A NEW ROSE. A Winter Forcing Variety With Marks of Winner. The new rose, Mrs. Jardine, a seed ling from the famous nurseries in New tonwards, Ireland, that produced Kil larney and Liberty,,which proved such valuable winter forcing varieties, has all the marks of a winner, says a writ er in Gardening. It certainly makes one of the most beautifully formed flowers when about half bloomed of NEW ROSE, MBS. JABDINK. any rose now In cultivation. The color Is between Bridesmaid and Klllarney. It is also fragrant, a very good fea ture. The flowers are borne on good stout stems. The habit of growth is vigorous and strong, with buds form ing on every new shoot. It Is said to bloom continuously, being more prolific than Bride or Bridesmaid. Grape Pruning. Pruning away the surplus wood will do much to reduce disease and insect trouble in the vineyard. The prun ing should not be done while the vines are frozen, as the plant is liable to be injured by twisting and bending the vines. The late winter and early spring pruning is usually done hasti ly, and if done late in the spring the vines bleed freely. It is better to prune the vines late than not to prune them any, but the best, results will be obtained by pruning In early winter. The young vines should be pruned very closely. The first year after the vines are set in the vineyard all the tops should be cut away, and hot more than three buds should be left at the base '"of the vine. This will leave only a stub, but that is all that is necessary to produce a good growth' of vine the next' year. The second year's growth may be placed on a trellis, and the vines may be permitted to bear a light crop the third year. The general tendency is to let the vine bear very heavy crops as .soon as they will, and the vines are weakened and do not prove of much value. The first Vrop should be pro duced from not more than ten or twelve buds on each plant. Prom the third year on the number of buds left on the vines may be Increased until the strong vines are left with thirty or forty buds after the pruning has been done. This will look like very severe pruning, and so it is, but it produces the best aud the most fruit. These buds referred to in the preced ing paragraph are on the last season's growth of vines and will produce the young shoots in the spring, which carry the fruit. If the vineyard is well culti vated and sprayed, each bud left on the last season's canes will produce on r.u average two bunches of fruit. The size, age and vigor of the vines should determine the amount of fruit that each should be expected to mature. It is a goo.l plan to work for a smaller number of bunches than the vjnes are able to carry and have the berry of good size, well matured and properly ripened. The spur system of pruning is the one most commonly practiced. This system consists of cutting away the canes of the last season's growth and leaving only two or three buds at the base of the stub. The large branches that carry these canes are left year after year. A number of spurs or old stubs are developed by the annual cut ting away of the fruit bearing canes. This system of pruning is simple and Is well adapted to home vineyard growing. O. M. Morris, Horticulturist, Oklahoma Experiment Station, in Okla homa Farm Journal. NEW POSTAL LAW. The United States Postal De partment has made new regula tions in regard to carrying second class mail matter ( such as news papers, magazines, periodicals, etc.) the same going into effect January 1, iqo?, and allowing publishers to April 1, 19ns, o prepare their subscription lists in accordance with the new order of things. The effect of the change practically compels the establish ment ot new relations between the publisher and subscribers of county papers. ine department ruling requires that subscriptions entitled to the second class postage rate shall not be delinquent longer than the following periods of time: Dailies within three months. Tri-weeklies within six months. Semi weeklies within nine months. Weeklies within one year - The mails are not forbidden to subscribers who are in arreais longer than the time provided in the new ruling, but these subscri bers are placed in a separate class ification, requiring a higher rate of postage , the rate being so high that publishers could not afford to send papers at the price ot sub scription. The reason given by the gov ernment tor making this order is that second class mail matter is being carried through the mails at a rate ot postage . thereon which is less than the cost of car riage, -i ' - The Gazette has heretofore been liberal in giving t its sub scribers time to pay for their sub scriptions, by paying $200 per year for those past due and $1.50 per annum when the same was paid in advance. Having made the difference in the past-due and advance, rate has resulted in giv dng the Gazette a larger portion of paid up subscribers. This rule must now be changed according to Uncle Sam's order, as the newspaper has no voice in the matter. The Gazette invites its patrons to settle their dues soon. DANGER OF CATARRH. Unless Properly Treated with Hy omel, Becomes Serious. Catarrhal troubles are far more dan gerous than they seem at first thought. If yon have catarrh there is an irritated state of the mucous membrane and weak ened tissues which afford an ideal lodg ment and culture medium for disease germs, especially those of consumption. Yoa should get cured as quickly as possible before any dangerous germs that you may breathe lodge on the diseased Mesne and work destruction in the throat and lungs. The easiest, simplest, quickest, surest and cheapest way to cure catarrh is by the direct method, breathing Hyomei. This wonderful medicated air treatment does cot drug and derange the stomach, but is breathed in, directly following and destroying all disease germs that may have been inhaled. The unusual way in which Hyomei is sold by Graham & Wells is the best evi dence of their confidence in the treat ment and should dispel all doubt as to its curative properties. They agree to refund the purchase price to anyone whom Hyomei fails to benefit, and yon do not risk a cent, in testing its healing virtues. A complete outfit costs but f 100 if it helps you, not a cent if it does not do all that is claimed for it.
