?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

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,

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.
