Several methods of estimating yearly records from a few weigiimgs anu ic.i have been proposed. Tue only aio intelv accurate way to tell the amount of milk aud butter fat produced by a cow Is to weigh and test the milk st every milking. Cows vsry so much In the amount and quality of their milk from one milking to another, owing to various causea, many of which are un .ontrollable, that entirely accurate re sults cannot be semred by weighing and testing the milk wcured at a few mtlklngs and using the results as a ba sis for estimating the total production for s lactation period or even a month. Many dalon""'. however, do not feel they can take the time to secure dally records: nor Is this necessary If It Is Imply desired to obtain a reasonsbly accurate estlmste of cow's perform snce st tbe end of tbe year.

Only tbe white varieties are suitable for market, as most of the corn goes Into pop-corn balls, aud the nearer white the better, colored varletlea being sure to spoil the effect and sale of tbe popped article. In culture some readily-available fertilizer should be plant ed wltb tbe seed, as tlie young plants are not so sturdy as the sprouts of oth er corn, A good start does wonders for the corn. Too much hoeing can hardly . be given. Tbe drill system Is tlie easiest and most profitable, snd three feet between tbe rows Is sufficient. Rice corn, which Is the most desirable of any for planting, can stand thirteen to sixteen inches apart In tne drill, and do well If the sou is goou.

Tbe bees are excellent forsgers and carry pollen from one plant to another. In communi ties where no bees sre kept there will be found orchards tbat do not bear, the cause being unknown, while a hive or two of bees In tbe neighborhood would) cbsnge the conditions. In feeding sheep for market avoid feeding corn In excess. I think tbat Is one of the great faults of i.ur sl.e feeders; tbey feed too much of tbe car bonaceous ration. It Is perhaps true that one can put a flock of sheep Ints the barn and make a greater gain pet day (or a reasonable time wltb con than wltb sny other kind of food, but one is not making lean meat simply mutton tallow.
