Millions of dollars' worth of corn Is
lost every year from failure of corn
late plauted, or planted on too poor
ground to mature lta crop. This soft
corn has some feeding Tftlue, Ujit more
for ruiulnnnt animals than for the hog.
which gets most of It, But eveu when
put to the best use the nutrition Is not
In the soft corn as It l In the fully
ripened grain. Not even remastlcatlon
can get out of soft com what Is not
there. Even In the arid West, where
corn dries up prematurely, the earliest
planted corn fares best. When the
hot winds come which wither the Im
mature corn to almost nothing, the
corn that has formed ear and grain has
so much saved beyoud even the power
of the hot winds to wholly dissipate.
Hence we always advise the early
ninntinir nt corn. Even If the frost
nips the blade just as It Is pushing (
iwiva tii mirfnco. there Is vlcor
enough In the root to send out a new
shoot It Is rather more serious If the
frost catches corn when It Is Ave or six
Inches high. Then the froien leaf has
often to be clipped off before a new
growth will start Sometimes corn
even thus frozen down matures a bet
ter crop than that from corn planted
after the frost was over. The root has
leen growing even while the top was
froien. Hence, though such corn would
never have quite as big stalks as that
which grew without interruption. It
would have large aud well-filled ears.
Most of the stalks would have suckers,
and these also would be well eared.
Early corn always has more grain than
late In proportion to its stalk growth.
Bonea an Aahee.
Bones, as tbey are, are not available
as food for the farmer's crops; there
fore, be takes no Interest in them, and
they are suffered to lie about the farm
unnoticed. This writer says to buy
bone meal Is very handy, but this does
not Justify the farmer in neglecting
so valuable a home recsouree for plant
food. If you reduce the bones that ac
cumulate on the farm to dust, you have
a genuine article. Sir. Halket says,
after numerous trials between what is
culled green bonea with all the marrow
and fat In them, and dry bone, be
found the dry bone raised the best
crops. Of all the matters of , which
bones are composed, there Is not a
single particle which Is not a direct
constituent or food for plants. Thus
we see, when we reduce them to avail
able food. It Is all good..
Now, it is but little trouble to have
ttarrels placed conveniently to receive
the ashes from the house and tobacco
barns, and yon will find that It takes
but little time to collect all bones, both
large and small, that are lying about
the farm, giving It an unsightly ap
pearance. Do not be afraid of them. A
man that Is too nice to take bold of
bones will not make much progress In
farming. Save all the beef and bog
bones when killed; Put a good layer
of ashes at the bottom of a barrel, then
a layer of bones, and so on nntil near
ly full; then fill with ashes. Keep the
mass wet, but not enough to leach. Use
soapsuds if convenient. Do not suffer
the mass to freeze, aa the process will
stop while frozen. While dissolving
bones with ashes Is a slow process, It
Is simple, and requires no great care,
and while you are about your farm
work, you are making fertilizers that
are valuable. . Not only this, but I
think the mixture of the bones and
ashes is more valuable as a manure
than either by itself. Ohio Farmer.
Cultivating Aftsr Faina.
Much the best time to cultivate Is af
ter a rainfall which has packed the
surface soil, provided time enough has '
elapsed for the surface to dry. Heavy
soils are rich In mineral plant food, and
this as the water evaporates is left on J
the surface as a crust which effectually
excludes light and air. When this crust
Is turned under It Is dissolved by the
moisture and makes a rich food for
plants. Besides, the cultivation opens
the soil to receive air, thus drying the
oil and turning the air itself Into mois
ture. This enormously increases avail
able plant food in the soli. Besides,
the loose soil on the surface which the
c-ultlvator leaves prevents too rapid
evaporation, and thus makes the soil
both warmer and moister than it would
be if uncultivated.
Hail Tepper for Poultry.
The habit of dosing fowls with vari
ous hot condiments In order to Improve
their condition Is very like similar hab
its In human beings. It is likely to re
sult Iu permanent loss of healtL. Only
when cbicits or old fowls are ?lck is it
allowable to use such means to restore
health, and then only medicinally and
for one or two doses. If chickens are
chilled by being draggled through the
wet, two or three small pieces of red
pepper will excite the Internal organs
to action. Then If food Is eaten It - .Mil
be rMgcgted and no more dosing will be
needed. Some people dose fowl with
pepper In cold weather to keep them
warm. If fowls are out of condition
and moping In winter it Is more likely
lack of gravel or broken clam shells to
fill their gizzards with and enable them
to digest food than for rny other reg
ion. In summer time no grown fowl
'.bat runs at large needs any condl
nents to keep It heal'iy. '
Cheaper Growing of Beet.
It Is a mistake to plant field beets In
narrow rows, so that all the work bas
to be done by band. There is a little
band labor needed while the plants are
small, but after that all the work of
cultivation can be best done with the
cultivator. If the horse Is careful and
steady a width of two feet between
the rows is sufficient for all the kinds
of beets. But their tops will grow so
large as to completely shade the soil be
tween. The mangel wurtzel grow still
larger aud had better be planted In
rows two feet six Inches or two feet
ten inches apart, and thinned to ten
Inches apart In the rows. Even at this
distance the mangel tops will complete
ly shade the ground, and the roots will
grow so that tbey will nearly or quite
touch each other. By thus using bone
labor for cultivation the beet crop
msy be very easily and cheaply crown.
fMorlnaj Kaa.
Eggs should not be stored near any
odorous commodity, as they bare al
most the proclivity of butter for ab
sorbing odors. Enpeclal care aliouM
be taken In shipping. In one Instance,
a shipment of eggs was plaoeu near
large shipment of apples on the ship
and became almost unsalable, because
H was complained that they had the
odor of apples. Tickled eggs are not
so apt to be affected by odors as other
eggs. In the pickling there seems to
be a deposit of the shells which tends
to fill the pores; perhaps that 'Is the
reason why the shells of pickled eggt
are almost always burst when boiled.
. , Bait Aid Dlacatloa.
Salt In moderate amounts Is doubt
less an aid to digestion. The craving
for It la natural with all berblvcrous
animals, and Is especially strong In
those that chew the cud. If cows are
not salted regularly the cream from
their milk will uot make butter so
quickly. This Is possibly because lack
of salt allows food In the stomach to
fermeut before It can be digested. This
always causes fever and Increases the
caseine in the milk." Tun same result
Is caused by the change In fall from
greeu feed to dry. Cows should lie
salted at least twice a week. It is bel
ter still to keep some where they it
ways can have access to It. They will
not eat too much for their good.
Pom Government Kanerlaaenta.
The Cnlted States Government ha
made some experiments with bisul
phide of carbon in order to learu the
effects of the substance on Beeds that
have been exposed to it iu sealed ves
sels. An exposure of forty eight hours
failed to injure the germlnatlug quali
ties of peas, beans, cotton, kattir coru,
buckwheat, turnip, cabbage, cauli
flower, pumpkin, cow pea and oats
Such an exposure Is too long, however,
twenty-four hours being sufficient, the
result proving the destruction of weevil
and any Insect that may be In tn seeds.
The germinating quality was decreased
in barley, wheat, rye. corn, rice, millet
and crimson clover. It Is believed that
an exposure of only twenty-four hours
will not Injure any seeds, aa the tests
made were very severe and such as
would not be necessary as a practice.
ncca witta Fertlllaera
The Impression that the mere appli
cation of a few pounds of fertilizers
to a poor soil Is all that Is necessary
to make It produce a large crop has
now about disappeared from the mind
of the average farmer. This wisdom
has been gained from experience. The
three great essentials, which have most
to do with the successful culture of
the soil, are good cultivation, proper
rotation and Judicious fertilization.
The three requisites mentioned are mu
tually dependent upon one another. If
the soil Is In thejiest physical condi
tion, and this can only be brought
about by- thorough cultivation, it af
fords a better opportunity for the plant
roots to forage about In Search of food.
Furthermore, it admits the passage of
air and enables the water to move
freely, and unless the soil admits of
such, the plant Is retarded In its
growth, which, of course, means a re
duction In the yield. Hoard's Dairy
man. : Farm Note.
When trees are pruned of surplus
branches and shoots while they are
young It avoids the cutting off of large
limbs in after years.
An old sheep keeper says that good
fat sheep never lose their wool. Wool
Is lost through lice, ticks or scab, due
to a mite, and none of these beasts can
endure fat. . Poor sheep is always their
feeding ground, v;
Fine butter has Its origin . farther
back than the churn. The quality
which most affects the price Is the flav
or. Unless this Is beyond criticism
there can be no expectation of a gilt
edge price. The flavor of the butter
depends on the milk, and the flavor of
the milk upon the food, the health and
surroundings of the cows.
When cows have been bred and ap
pear to be barren the cause Is usually
that they have been made too fat or
kept too closely In the barnyard with
out exercise. It Is a waste of food to
give cows grain twice a day if they are
not in full flow of milk. When very
fat the cows will do best on a pasture
of scanty herbage, on which they must
travel about for tbelr food.
Farmers dislike sheep on some pas
tures, as a flock on scanty herbage will
graze so close to the ground as to In
jure some varieties of grasses, but the
close grazing by sheep is an advantage
In their favor, as they keep down the
weeds Just as they are appearing above
the soil. Weeds that are of no value as
food when they have matured provide
dainties to sheep when the shoots are
young and tender.
The varieties of cantaloupes differ
very much. Those that are the most
attractive in appearance may be defi
cient in quality. The little Jenny Llnd
and Netted Gem are of fine flavor and
excellent quality, but are small. One
of the best varieties is the Emerald
Gem, wblcb Is of medium size, dark in
a pea ranee of rind and not very attrac
tive, but is always a favorite with those
who grow it. As soon as ripe the mel
on loosens itself from the vine, a pe
culiarity of the Emerald Gein only.
When the pasture is bare of shade
the cows undergo a severe ordeal on
warm days. During the time a cow is
eating from the pasture she simply
stores the food until she is supplied,
when she tbeu masticates it, which
process Is known as "chewing the cud."
This she likes to do in a quiet, shady
place. If comfortable, she may per
form the operation several times dur
ing the day, eating a large quantity,
and consequently producing more milk
than if uncomfortable. If the pasture
has no shade an open shed will be ser
viceable, r

Mme. Pattl's life at Cralg-y-Nos Castle,

WEEKLY MARKET LETTER.
Dawning, Hnpkln A Company' Kvle
f Trait.
The renewed exjiort demand litis been
the dominating factor in tiio wheat
market during the last weok. The tor
ward movement o( the now crop has
been disapiointing both in quantity
and in quality, hut has been suffi
ciently large to warrant the expecta
tion ol a fair increase in stocks at Cen
tura of accumulation. The market is
lacking In speoulutive support, the vol
ume of speculation having fallen to the
minimum. This serves to eiupluiHilo
the legitimacy of the present advance.
There baa been no change in orop pros
vdom in America ami wo still maintain
that the present crop will be the second
largest raised in the history of this
country From a speculative point of
view the market now possesses two
sides. There is no longer any doubt
that Europe requires all of our avail
able surplus. We cannot meet this in
creased draft and at the same time re
plenish our at present depleted reserves
in all positions. But it must be re
membered that Europe bas already
bought largely and that her necessi
titiee are not entirely for the immediate
present but for the entire crop year.
The increasing movement of the new
crop promises to more than offset the
demand for the time and result in in
creasing stocks.
Com is king. This has been and is
a year of prosperity and advancing
values. 1 It ia futile to talk of surplus
supplies or the growing crop. The for
mer is unpreoedentiHily large. The
latter promises to bo much smaller than
anticipated, but neither will have but
a temporary influence on values. We
are emerging form a period of depres
sion ami panic. Every other couiiiikI
ity is advancing in value. - Corn is
going to participate in the general ad
vance. It has been selling too low. It
ia going to sell higher. The shortage
in the wheut, rye and potato crops ot
the world insures the substitution of
corn as a food product to an extent
never before known. To argue that
corn is going to sell lower ia to main
tain that the panic still exists. Every
one knows better.
