In the Northwestern States coin
should be grown for tine.' distinct
uses. Th" first is to provide fod
der for live stock in winter, and
more especially ir. the f inn if i n
silage, The necond is to bo 'hogged
off by swine or eaten down by
sheep, and the third to provide
what, mny be ti rmi d pasture. These
are. relatively important in the
order named.
? Foi the first "itfce ' mentioiKHCi' t ho
Corn should be po:jessed of con
siderable bulk. Unless the grower
can obtain not les-. than m Ions f
green food per acre, It will not pay I
him to grow corn for such a use. I
Ordinarily he shouid look for not,
less than 8 tons, if such kinds as '
the Northwestern Dent., Minnesota
No. 1.1 and Mercer Flint are grown.
In Roim.' instances as much as 111 to,
12 tons will he produced. While :
it is necessary to have considerable !
bulk when growing these varieties,
it is not absolutely necessary to
have tliem mature. This of course
is desirable where such a result can i
be reached, but they will rake
fairly good fodder and also good '
ensilage though harvested short of i
maturity, Hut when such corn is;
put into the silo, it should first he j
allowed to lose some of its mois-j
ture after it is cut before putting
into the same.
Such corn is not easily cured un-
der northwestern conditions in the j
stack or even in the shock in many I
instances, hence the aim of the
growers should be to cure it in the
silo. ' '
For the second use mentioned it
is essential that the grain shall ma
ture. To secure this end some
smaller and earlier maturing vari
ety or varieties may he grown.
Those found best adapted to this
purpose in the past are the squaw
corn, otherwise known as the Da
kota White Flint and the Gehu.
These, if planted in season and
given proper eure, should virtually
mature almost any year in almost
any part of the northwest. Though
dwarfish in growth they furnish
usually from 20 to' 40 bushels of
ears to the acre with an average of
say 2r: to 30 bushels.
(lorn thus bogged etT will give
250 lbs. of pork from an acre.
This at ti cents a pound live weight

should ea( to excess ot a fond too

They will eat both the leaves and
stalks in additien to the corn. This
method of fattening both sheen and
swine will be found effective and
relatively cheap, because if the

sufliceint to fatten swine and eight
to ten weeks to fatten sheep anil
lambs. In either case it 's import-

Such corn should be ready not later

seasons cue fains may give trouble,
but this wotild not occur viry often

In very dry areas it may be wise

though it should not produce ears

When Christy's dead a hundred years, the fans will still
discuss his play, and sigh, while shedding briny tears,
"There are net men like him today I He used the brains
behind his brow, and gave the foe a grievous jar; the
chroniclers have told us how he
was for years and years a star.
Great pitchers came and cut some
grass, and died, and then forgotten
were; he saw them come, and saw
them pass, and still kicked up a
mighty stir." The chroniclers will
also tell how Christy, when a game
was played, filled up the pipe he
loved so well, to soothe his nerves,
all tired antl frayed. He smoked
Tuxedo every time, the critic's
smoke, the mild and rare, Tuxedo,
.fragrant and sublime, the cool,
r-veet smoke beyond compare.
