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:

FLEECE.
Directions For the Proper Cere of the
Wool Grower’s Crop.
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

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
