Every truck farmer kuows that the first early sweet corn in the market pays as greut a profit us any crop grown. it is usually sold by the hundred and marketed In sacks containing that number of ears. The fodder remain ing after the crop is sold is nearly ns valuable as timothy hay. The best profit comes from the earliest acres, says a writer In the Fanner’s Review. Sweet corn cannot be shipped a great distance, as It deteriorates rapidly: IL LIDYARD WALKER & LIDYARD SHOEMAKERS 1st Ave. N., near Main St. We are prepared to do the very best o f all kind o f shoe work.

First, all the tag locks must be re moved, whether they be dung or grease and d irt writes W. C. Coffey of the Illinois station, describing the proper way to tie up a fleece; second, the fleece should he carefully rolled ui> by hand (not In wool box), with no ends or stray locks protruding and with the flesh side out; third, the fleece should be tied with a hard glazed twine, not lurger than one eighth Inch In diameter. In tying the ends of the twine especial care should he taken to make a firm, hard knot that will not slip. Tag locks are not so common that their presence In fleeces from farm flocks Is the rule rather than an ex ception. The total effect o f leaving them on fleeces Is bad. It puts our wools In bad standing with wool houses and manufacturers. Long con tinned. It has led to the only logical result—namely, discrimination In price against our wools Careful rolling, with the flesh side out and no ends or stray locks show ing. adds greatly to the nppenrnnce of the fleece. It also prevents mixing the wool from different fleeces, and. by the way. each fleece should be tied to Itself. In the wool warehouse ll Is a pretty sight to see the heaps of graded wool faced with n tier o f care fully rolled and tied fleeces. therefore the local grower does not have such competition as does the grower o f less perishable products. Sandy or light loam soil, wltb an open subsoil, Is best for tills crop.

It Bhould be the rule never to handle manure more than once When re moved from the barn or feeding shed. It should he loaded at once Into the spreader and hauled to the field. If the farm ts small and the amount pro duced Is only at the rate of one or two loads a week, the convenience and Im provement o f taking It directly from the stable and spreading It nt once on the Held will certainly Justify driving the manure spreader slowly.—Orange Judd Farmer ALL AROUND TH E GARDEN. As soon as the cutting of rhubarb stalks Is over give the ground a good dressing of manure Cauliflower can Is- grown more easi ly than cabbage It Is always In do- mi) ml at giHst prices.

Where the soli Is strong a good crop o f vegetatiles may be raised between the rows of trees In the young or chard. This means cultivation and manuring.- Farm Progress Spring Culture of Wheat. Harrowing wheat In tbe spring Is a practice that Is receiving considerable attention of late years. Where the ground Is compacted bard from beatlug rains of early spring, followed by rath er dry weather, tbe harrowing of wheat with a drag burrow Is good practice. So far experiments have sbown at tbe Missouri station, however, the har rowing of wheat is not always suffi ciently beneficial to pay for the work, although where one harrows In clover seed at the same time the practice ts usually a paying one. Where the wheat Is badly “ heaved” the use of a heavy roller In the early spring Is a good practice. All depends, however, upon the extent o f the “ heav ing " Kill tha Rats and Save Chicks. In answer to a subscriber who com plains o f rats getting away with his young chicks and requesting a remedy for exterminating the rodents, a corre spoudent of the Kansas City Farmer says that If powdered sulphur and cay enne pepper nre scattered around the rnt holes the vermin will disappear Another remedy ts to scatter powder ed lye around tbclr holes.
