While Maximum Crops Are Being Grown in Every Neighborhood, the Average Yield Of State Too Low.

T. A. Coleman. ARTICLE NO. 1. The unitiated may ask "Why all this talk about corn?" The answer is lirery simple. Corn is Indiana's great money crop. The other crops are ... grown merely to complete the rotation 'or as noil builders while corn, either cashed in or fed to live stock, is the 'treat revenue producer of our agriculturists. f Then again the parsimonious may vsk, "Is all this expenditure of money ind energy worth while?" "Are we (sot growing enough, corn?" Granting ;lhat every neighborhood has men who 're growing maximum crops, yet; the average yield of the state is far below 'mhat It should be and if this is true what about the fellow who is at the 'bottom of this productive scale? On the other hand if all the corn work, corn trains, farmers' institutes, and .district corn schools resulted In the increase of our yield but a single bushel to the acre, with our four and a lialf million acres annually devoted to the production of this cereal, and the value of that increase placed at the low price of , forty cents per bushel, we can see at a glance the vast material increase in our agricultural wealth. We do not desire these additional bushels merely that we may have more dollars, but more dollars that we may have 'better necessities, more luxuries, more education, more culture, a better farm folk. . ' -. The Firs Step Taken. The first step in the matter of corn improvement is of course a suitable variety, a variety that has producing power, If we have not that variety 'but rather one that has run out, let us not waste precious years in an endeavor to bring up this variety, rather buy seed from a near neighbor who has been improving his . corn from year to year until he has it at a high standard of excellence. After we have the variety of corn fwe desire, the next step in this matter of more and better corn, is to select .out those ears that will grow. Since it only requires fourteen ears to plant each acre, and if we expect to harvest seventy or more bushels from each acre planted to corn, it is evident that feach seed ear must produce five or more bushels. How important then 1b it that each of these fourteen seed ears have a strong vitality. . Should Test Each Ear. The only sure way to know that an ,ear will grow is to see it growing. So Iet.U3 test each ear that there may be no failure attributable to our negligence. To do this take a box about ' three inches deep and as large as may .'be desired. About half an Inch below the top bore small holes two inches apart around the box. Through these .holes run a No. 16 wire across and back from side to side and from end to end, the intersections . forming 'ftmajl squares similar to those on a checker board. Fill the box with clean tand or garden soil up to the wires, i Lay the corn out on the floor of an (unused room placing the ears side by ! side. From the first ear .take five ker'nels in such a manner that they represent all parts of the ear. This is im- , portant for it not infrequently hapfcens that an ear is damaged on one ! side while it is good on the other. . Keep at 70 Degrees. Place these five kernels In the upper left hand square of the seed test-

ing box pressing them into the sand but not covering them. From the second ear take five kernels in like manner and place them in the second square and so on until the box is full, each time replacing the ear in its original position on the floor. Thoroughly moisten the sand, cover with a glass and set in some place where the temperature will remain steady at about seventy degrees, or the ordinary living room temperature. In five days let us take a peep. In the first square we have five nice, vigorous sprouts. Ear No. 1 is O. K. In the second square we find but four kernels sprouted. This will not do as five acres planted with that kind of seed would only have enough plants on it to properly cover four acres. In the third square we have two, vigorous sprouts and three weakly fellows. If corn sends up a weak sprout when the temperature is regular and the moisture abundant, it would likely die under adverse field conditions. Ears No. 2 and -3 are worth more as feed for live stock than for seed. In this way we can select out the ears that will give a perfect germination test and make a long step toward a perfect stand without which we cannot hope for that hundred bushel per acre yield.

Merchants and Dealer. London In terms of shops! Taking a tram car through miles of shop lined London streets, you may notice how the different retailers of goods have made some special word more or less entirely their own to denote the fact that they are sellers. The man who distributes newspapers is a "news vender," while be who is concerned with books is a "bookseller;" the greengrocer is often a "potato salesman;" the man who supplies corn and hay is in regard to the first a ''dealer," but he is also a "hay and straw merchant;" the man who sells fish is a "fishmonger," hat If he also supplies certain birds be Is a "dealer in game." Coal, eggs, butter and tea are sold only by "merchants." How and why have these differing terms come to be the peculiar label of the different tradesmen it would perhaps .be difficult to deter mine.

FORAGE CROPS FOR PIGS.

Favorable Results From Experiments Made From Green Crops. The question of forage crops for piga is one which is of decided importance,' as it is well known thnt the- use of such feed is valuable and profitable. Cowpeas without grain have so far given better results at the Mississippi station, it is stated, than any other of the crops tested. In one season the cowpeas were grown on thin hill land and produced 350 pounds of pork per acre when pigs were grazed upon them. The next season the crop was grown on good valley land and produced 483 pounds of pork per acre. The pigs were turned on the pasturage when the cowpeas were ripe. Alfalfa without grain was found "to be little more than a maintenance ration for hogs." The pigs used in the test, which covered two years, ranged from three to twenty-four months in age. Alfalfa, clover, rape and blue grass supplementing corn were compared

with rations of corn and ship stuff and corn and skimmilk at the Missouri station. The cornmeal, which

was of medium fineness, was mixed with water to the consistency of a thick dough and was fed twice daily in such quantities as would be eaten without waste. In the skimmilk ration the meal was wet with milk instead of with water. The green crops were fed twice daily immediately after cutting and were supplied ad libitum. The rape was rather large and coarse, and only the fresh green leaves were used. Some of the alfalfa was rather too mature and coarse to be eaten with relish, but the remainder was considered of fairly satisfactory quality. The red clover and blue grass were for the most part young and tender. The feeding was continued for 102 days except with the rape fed lot, which wag fed for forty days only, the supply of rape being then exhausted. Considering the first forty days, the gains on green feed ranged from 0.58 pound per pig per day on the rape

ration to 0.74 pound on cornmeal and( alfalfa, the gain on cornmeal and mid- j

dllngs being 0.61 pound and on cornmeal and skimmilk 1.53 pounds. Considering the " whole test, the average daily gain per P'S on the rations containing green feed was as follows: Cornmeal and blue grass, 0.63 pound; cornmeal and clover, 0.77 pound; cornmeal and alfalfa, 0.83 pound; cornmeal and middlings, 0.68 pound, and on cornmeal and skimmilk 1.61 pounds. The smallest amount of grain per pound of gain, 2.83 pounds, was noted with the corn and nkimmilk ration and the largest amount, 5.31 pounds, with the cornmeal and blue grass. The gain was most cheaply made on cornmeal and skimmilk, costing 2.83 cents per pound, and was most expensive on cornmeal and middlings, costing 4.07 cents. On the green feed it ranged from 3 cents on cornmeal and alfalfa to 3.96 cents on cornmeal and blue grass. In the opinion of Professor Cottrel) of the Colorado station, farmers living in the plains region of Colorado will find raising and fattening pigs advantageous, and barley, wheat, milo maize and Kaffir corn are regarded as the surest grain crops for the dry land farming conditions which there prevail. The importance of supplementing grain is insisted upon.

"Buster" is a favorite in his neighborhood and the children strive for the

opportunity of drawing liim around on his sled. In crossing the railroad tracks the sled lodged on the bare ground and the children unequal to the task and frightened at the approaching train dropped the rope and ran home. The dog realizing the child's danger took the rope in his teeth and pulled the sled and the lad from the track Just as the express went by. The train was stopped and a purse made up for the boy and dog.

It is made with six sides, hexagon shape, one end shaped for a hand hold, . and the opposite end has a half Inch pin placed in it. This pin is inserted in the hole bored In the narrow end, as shown, and the roller, oi lever, moved oTer the butter with a rolling motion, the water and buttermilk escaping at the narrow end through the bole below the end of the roller. A bucket should be placed below the narrow end to catch this drip. Make the email end one or two inches lower than the opposite end to Insure the water draining away.

Highest Degree of Fertility. Some of the best farms In Pennsylvania have been brought to the high est degree of fertility by the use of clover, lime and manure. The farmers who have accomplished such results have aimed to save every pound of manure and also to preserve it in the best manner. Lime is used extensively by those who know that lime is an essential ingredient of plants and also because it is excellent for increasing the clover crop. Clover enriches tb land by promoting the supply of nitrogen In the soil; hence lime and clover make an excellent combination.

Keeping Up With the Times. The distinguished scientist Professor Lancaster, as cited by the Canadian Courier, in addressing his classes one day said that, while be would like to believe that all scientists ' were Impeccable, he was forced by a dream be had experieaoed to doubt their universal goodness. In this dream the professor had been carried to the gate of the lower regions, which be was surprised to find was made, of highly polished marble. Everything within reminded him of a well appointed club, even to the refreshment which might be obtained yit small tables in cozy corners. He resorted to one of these and was promptly served by a dusky attendant, who Inquired softly, "Ice, sirr "Where in the nether world do you get the Ice" said the professor. "There are many scientific gentlemen here, sir," was the reply.
