out Hiicker and good ear, and It
wa from thl need corn that I got
lux hmdielH to the aero September
Ifi, 1013. Thl corn wa ll
Hhueked, but not thoroughly Hen
Honed, and wn due to homo nhrltik
nge. Now I neither thinned nor
nuckered till preent crop of corn
Of cotimo, the corn nuckered, but
not mifflcleut, I did not think, to
decroaHo tho corn yield. Now I have
again nolorted my need corn for
1011, blending four cxaentlal In
one, namely; I elecled my need
corn from Mroug, Htorky Htalk
without Hiicker; early maturing and
two good ear growing on eacii
Htalk, Now I will know the origin
of every bill of corn I grow In 191 1.
In preparing thl corn for Heed I
hIi tit achort It Into threo grade.
Tho third grndn will be dlHcnrded for
ced, but from the flrnt grndo I hnll
elect ear for their uniformity In
rite and length; number of grain or
krenel row to the ear; number of
grain to the row; a mnll cob; with
long, well-filled grain down to
tho rob; with uniform weight of
each ear of corn.
Now, brother farmer, your atten
tion for one moment.
When wo go to tho rom bin and
holed tho fluent earn for need, do
wo know whether the parent ntalk
wn nix and one-half feet or nine
feet high, or do wn know whethet
tho ntalk produced one or two earn?
Probably a largo family of nucker
and probably ery lute In maturing
nUo. Now, bo careful In selecting
jour d from the ntalk wh::
growing. You can overcome or
avoid alt thene, and by careful an
nual breeding produce just what we
want. Wo occasionally read of pro
grenslvo dlntrlrt cmplo)!ng a farm
HMclallat to tench general farming
and stock raining, jimt a thl valley
employ a fruit specialist. Wo want
to study and como In doner touch
with vegetable mul animal life mid
our noil possibilities. In growing
corn, all aiitborltlc ngreo that deep
winter plowing give tho best re
suit. Now I plant In three-foot
rowH, and a stalk 3x3 feet give iih
tsto ntalkH per acre, and com that
will produce two earn to tho Htalk
will make 1'i.so earn, and 100 earn
to tho bushel give u 96 bushels
per acre. Now, to get thene result,
even with tho most Improved need
com, It will not only rciiulro deep
winter plowing, but tho land hIioiiIo
ho treated with a nprlngtooth har
row a early iih possible In tho spring
and continue every ten day until
planting. Plant with a planter.
Cultivate three time If possible) by
plowing deep with a cultivator until
tho com get kneo or elghtcou
Inches high, and then cultivate shal
low with one-half of a nprlngtooth
harrow with a block to follow to
pre tho dirt to hold tho moisture.
Thl should bo done once n week or
every ten dayn until August 1 or 10.
TIiIh cultivation la to connervo tho
moisture.
Karly ripening I of great Impor
tance, and by carefully selecting
need we can harvest our crops threo
wecku earlier than wo usually do,
All of our meal conic from tho
northwest, when wo could furnish
the corn to our local mills and keep
thlH money t home. Tho oavltent
ripening of tho yellow dent corn, H
planted May 1, would ordinarily bo
in tho dent stage August 15. and nt
that Htngo pluck tho ear and throw
on tho ground to dry fifteen days,
Tho substance In tho cob will ho suf
ficient to mnturo tho corn fairly
well. Throw In your barn and hunk
during rainy days of winter.
To shuck corn for hogH la time

used four or five months If gath
ered carefully mid well housed. Car
rots should tin dug In sufficient
quantity to laitt until March, and the
remainder left In tho ground until
March. Dig and feed through tho
spring mid early summer. A patch
of carrot left over w:ntcr for the
pig to root In will bo a good-paying
Investment. Tho weight of tho pigs
will not pack tho land very much.
Tho writer 1 carrying a nice bunch
through winter In this mnnner. Of
course tho rancher who has all sticky
soil cannot pasture his land from
December until March. I find that
a cooking vat to cook carrots, pump
kins and alfalfa Is really necessary
through tho winter season. All hogs
should bo graded as to slzo and fed
separately. Hogs should bo modl-i
cated for worms and dlpix-d three
or four times n, yoar In a solution of
water nnd crude oil for lice.
HogH enn't bo raised on 11 corn
alone at a profit. Kockefcller util
izes all tho by-products from his oil
fields and makes axlo grease, etc,
Tho great packers savo tho blood
and hair from tho begs, horns and
blood of tho cattle, and It finds a
market. In this climate most every
variety of plants will grow, and If
the land I plowed deep In the win
ter, most of the soil can be put In
excellent hhapo In tho spring with a
nprlngtooth harrow. After tho first
harrowing four good homes will
draw two nix-foot sprlngtooth har
rowH, and one man can treat fifteen
to twenty acres a day until planting
time, nnd by proper cultivation and
conserving moisture on theso lines
wo noed not fear a fnlluro In any
crop. I dry farm nitogcinor.
Whon thousands of acres of the
best land of the valley was planted
to fruit trceH nnd no crop grown
on tlio land it was equivalent to
withdrawing a largo portion of the'
people's money ironi circulation, and
during tho years of 1909-10-U-12
hundreds of enrs of produco for the
consumption of man and beaHt were
shipped Into tho valley, when we
should havo raUed this stuff and
kept tho money at home.
Now, It requires from Mx to eight
years to get nn orchard to bear In
paying quantities; nono but tho rich
can handlo tho proposition and let
tho land lay Idle; but wo can grow-
n groat variety of crops between our(
tree and grow and mature- hogs by
feeding these by-products to these I
hogs, which will find n ready mar
ket, thereby keeping us on tho right
8ldo of tho ledger, nnd nt tho same
tlmo our young pear orchard Is In
creasing our land values from $50 to
175 per aero annually.
Wlillo most all crops that grow
In othor climates flourish in thin

quality flnvor fif hor fruits havo nt
tallied world records, mid when tho
groHS vtiliio of theso crops goes up
to 1 1000 and moro per acre, and ,by

wo need never expect a failure. Thl
