Goodland Herald: A special election was held last week at Rensselaer in Marion township and a subsidy of 1% Ser cent voted for the proposed interuran road which will probably pass through there. It was carried by a majority of 186. This will cause the people there to pay the railroad company in the neighborhood of $35,000 for building a railroad which would probably be built anyway. Nice indeed for the railroad, but rather hard on the taxpayer when taxes are already clear out of sight. Thus encouraged other elections will probably be held in townships along the line.

HINTS FOR FARMERS

Rag Weed Valuable as Hay.' The value of rag weed as a fodder for cattle was discovered in a very simple way, writes a correspondent of Farm Progress. A farmer bad Just cut a fine lot of timothy hay and had hauled it to his hay yard and stacked it. The same day he had ordered his hands to bring in a load of rag weed, which instead of throwing away, as usual, he wished to use as bedding for his dairy cattle, which he was preparing to exhibit at a fair. The rag weed was dumped near the haystack. The cows were driven into the hay yard and left for awhile to shift for themselves, the stack of hay being considered sufficient feed for the time being. ' When the farmer returned the next day he gdt the surprise of his life. The first thing he noticed was that the diaystack was standing untouched. When he turned around he got another shock. The pile of rag weed had vanished. The cows would not touch the hay until they had eaten every shred of the rag weed. Using rag weed hay as a winter ration for cattle has been found highly successful by many fanners in Missouri, and there is reason to believe that it will become Just as popular in other states.

Brush In the Fields. We have got to subdue the brush or the brushes and trees will subdue us. They march on us so still and silently that we' hardly notice them at all until they get such a hold that it is next to impossible to get rid of them. Many farmers In mowing their fields leave a few brushes under the walls and fences, as they do not want to get them mixed in the hay, and so they leave a few more every year, and we often see large, smooth meadows with a rim of brush a rod wide clear around the field. I have always found the best way get rid of the brush and weeds was to cut them every year when we mow the grass rake them up close to the wall and when dry burn them up clean, aad in doing this you not only get rid of the brush, but lots of woodchucks and rabbits, and it makes the farm look so much nicer that we feel more than paid for all our trouble.—J. A. Saunders in American Cultivator. Buying a Boar. If we were to. gtve a little advice on the side to the average breeder of grade hogs it would simply.be this: If you have a good breeder' of pure bred hogs in your locality go to him early in the season, Jlck out one of his good pigs—a pig that will correct the principal weakness in your sows—and then ask him for his best price. Of course there are breeders whose reputation places them beyond the reach of the average breeder of grade stock, but we are speaking of the ordinary breeder of pure bred hogs. Above ah things do not wait around until .you are absolutely In need of a male and then go and pick up somebody’s scrub. Live stock gets scrubby fast enough even when good mates are used, and It Is shortsighted policy to hasten the process by breeding from an Inferior male. —Wisconsin Farmer. No Profit In Scrubs. . Once started In the right direction a fanner can produce a good grade of cattle almost as'cheaply as he can raise scrubs. Good, pure bred bulls of all the leading beef brands can be purchased at reasonable prices, and there is not the slightest excuse for the keeping of a scrub bull at the head of any herd. With first class cattle as much profit can be made with a smaller investment for land, cattle, feed and labor than can be produced with a larger outlay In feeding inferior stock. In every department of agriculture it pays to produce the best, and this is especially true with respect to live stock.

CORN HARVEST. The Binder For Silage Corn—The Shocker on Small Farms. By C. J. ZINTHEO, Office of Experiment Stations. > The corn binder Is used to greatest advantage Id fields where the corn Is check rowed, as It is possible to cut around a block, keeping the machine, constantly In operation. Average results taken from several hundred replies received to a letter of inquiry sent to farmers in different sections of the country Indicate that for all conditions of com the total coat per acre of harvesting com with a com binder is <1.50. The advantage of the corn

INCLINED CORN BINDER.

binder over cutting by hand or sled harvester is the amount of work which can be accomplished per day and the general ease with which the work can be done. One disadvantage which may be credited to the com binder is that it knocks off more or less ears of corn. Binders consist essentially of dividers passing one on each side of a row of corn and of cutting and binding device’s. A bundle carrier is usually also attached. The present form of shocker consists essentially of dividers, a revolving table for assembling the shock and a crane for removing it The knives and flywheel attachment for cutting. the stalks are similar to those used on the com binder. Cora shockers cost about as much as binders and weigh approximately the same. The wear and tear on the shocker Is probably not so great as on the Hinders. The shocker requires the work of but one man, whereas the binder requires besides the driver two or three men to follow and set up the shocks. The corn shocker seems to be the machine that meets the requirements of owners of small farms who do their own work. It requires a man of more ability to run a corn shocker than to operate a com binder on account of the numerous movements the operator has to go through all at tbe proper time in removing the shock from the machine. From replies to questions we have a total cost of harvesting com with a shocker of <1.06 per acre compared with the cost of <l.lß per acre for harvesting with a sled harvester and <1.50 per acre for com binders or by hand. The manual labor in harvesting com Is the least when using the shocker. The shock made by the com shocker is not so easily loaded on a wagon as is that made by a com binder, as the individual bundles may be loaded with a pitchfork, whereas the whole shock made with a shocker can best be loaded at once with some form of loading device or horsepower derrick. The com binder is well adapted for cutting corn for the silo, as the bun-

dies are bound Into convenient size to be loaded on a wagon. However, this saving of labor 18 accomplished at the cost of twine, which remains around the bundles for less than an hour and is a total waste when cut Dry Land For Sheep'. It Is generally well known that sheep require a reasonably dry climate and land that is well drained, but it often happens that farmers undertake to raise sheep on bottom land and on land that Is too wet to plow for crop. If sheep are kept on such land for any length of time, trouble Is sure to follow, remarks Farm Press. Sheep cannot stand wet feet, and they must have dry ground to sleep on at night. Sheep lie down a great deal when ruminating. Unless the ground Is dry and warm they are sure to suffer. Besides foot rot, infernal parasites that affect sheep are worse on wet land. The hoof of the sheep is golden only when the hoof is dry. > Milk For Pigs. There may be a few men here and there who chn grow a hunch of pigs without milk as well as with, but they are few and expert Sweet skim milk has as yet no equal as a bone building, flesh making food, in my opinion, remarks a writer In lowa Homestead.
