Modern Method* That Are Helpful to
Farmer, Fruit Grower and Stockman.
Com Facts and Figures.
Dr. Tait Butler recently delivered
an address on corn culture before the
Farmers’ Society at Pendleton, S. C.
In the course of his address Dr.
Butler said:
As the corn crop is grown for
food purposes only we should study
its food value and harvest it so as to
obtain the most from it. Taking the
whole corn plant—
Forty-six per cent, is ear (grain
and cob).
Fifty-four per cent, is stover
(stalk, blades and shucks).
But the animals are able to use as
feed a larger percentage of the grain
than of the stover, hence the feeding
value of the corn plant is:
Ear fifty-one per cent.
Stover forty-nine per cent.
The greatest food value will he
obtained from the plant when it is
put into a silo and fed as silage.
When harvested for the grain or
ears the whole plant should be cut
and the stover used as feed for live
stock.
Pulling Corn Fodder is Expensive,
Wasteful and Does Not Pay.—ln ex
periments made to test the effect of
pulling fodder on the yield of
weighed and shelled corn per acre
the following results have been ob
tained :
Georgia—Pulled, 23.9 bushels per
acre; untouched, 27.3 bushels per
acre. Loss 3.4 bushels per acre.
Florida—Pulled 28.2 bushels per
acre; untouched, 31.1 bushels per
acre. Loss 2.9 bushels per acre.
Mississippi—Stripped. 35.5 bush
els per acre; loss, 8 bushels per acre.
Topped, 29 bushels per acre; loss.
14.5 bushels per acre. Untouched,
43.5 bushels per acre.
Alabama (two trials) —Loss, 4
bushels per acre.
Average loss, 6 bushels per acre.
Fodder Obtained. —Georgia—270
pounds per acre.
Florida—s 80 pounds per acre.
Mississippi—93 6 pounds per acre
(tops included).
Average—69s pounds per acre.
These figures indicate that on an
average six bushels of shelled corn
per acre were sacrificed for 595
pounds of fodder, and the labor and
cost thrown in.
The feeding value of six bushels
of corn is nearly as great as 595
pounds of fodder, therefore the man
who pulls fodder pays for this fod
der obtained in loss of corn and has
the pleasure he gets out of the de
lightful task of pulling fodder as his
sole reward.
One acre of corn, yielding twenty
five bushels of shelled corn, will give
an average of over one ton of stover
(stalks, leaves and shucks). To har
vest an acre and shuck the corn
shred the fodder costs fropi $3 to
$3.5 0. A ton of stover is worth as
much for feeding as 1500 pounds of
timothy hay bought from the North
for $25. This stover costs $3 a ton
to secure with the harvesting of the
corn crop thrown in, and if fed to
steers they will pay $5 a ton for it.
At least they have paid me that much
for it for the last three years.
Make Your Bushel Grates.
Our illustration shows a substan
tial bushel crate that may be made at
very little expense and which, once
well put together and properly cared
for, will last for a very considerable
length of time.
The side and end slats, if an espe-
The Bushel Crate.
daily substantial and lasting crate is
desired, may be made of half-inch
stuff, preferably of some light wood.
The bottom may be made of half or
three-quarter-inch stuff, the latte*
being preferable. The corner posts
should be made of good, clear mate
rial l*£x2 inches. The crate is nailed
together with the corner pieces qn
the outside to prevent the bruising of
fruits and vegetables.
Shipping Vegetables.
The suggestions given below were
condensed from an address given by
Hon. John Parr before a Louisiana
State Horticultural Association meet
ing:
Beets, turnips, parsley, shallots,
mustard and spinach packed for
shipment, should be placed in sugar
barrels and iced with from seventy
five to one hundred pounds of ic*
Packed in this wav they can be ship
ped from New Orleans to Chicago or
New York with practically no loss.
Lettuce, endives and escarole should
also be shipped in sugar barrels and
iced with about twenty-five pounds
of ice.
Cucumbers can be shipped in bar
rels or small crates, but if barrels
are used the same should have ven
tilation and be lightly iced with about
twenty-five pounds of ice. The first
cucumbers of the season carry bet
ter when wrapped in brown paper
and shipped in small crates.
Egg plants should he shipped the
same as cucumbers, while small
crates, hampers and boxes may be
used for tomatoes.
Ship green corn in sugar barrels,
well ventilated and well iced.
Muskmelons should be shipped in
barrels or small crates; watermelons
in bulk.
Ship snap beans in bushel and half
bushel hampers, or in two-thirds
bushel and one-bushel boxes. Do not
ice.
White celery should he shipped in
barrels containing twenty to twenty
five bunches to a barrel and should
be well iced.
Okra should be shipped the same
as beans and no ice used, except
when packed in barrels and it is best
then to use whole blocks of ice,
standing the cakes up in the middle
of the barrel and packing the okra
around them.
Potatoes may be shipped in barrels,
sacks or hampers. They are the
easiest of all vegetables to ship, as
they do not rot so quickly as other
vegetables.
When It is possible vegetables
should be shipped by freight, prefer
ably, of course, in refrigerator cars.
Express rates are usually too high
to leave much of a profit for the
grower, after an allowance has been
made for shrinkage, loss and com
mission -charges.
It should be borne in mind that
a well-packed package and one that
is as attractive as it can be made,
will always command a larger price
than a poorly packed, unattractive
package.
Fertilizer to Use After Peas.
A correspondent writes as follows:
“In the month of September I cut
stalks and peavines and turned all
in, breaking as deep as I could with
one team. This was followed by a
heavy top-dressing of lime. What
fertilizer should I use on this to
grow corn, cotton, peas, potatoes and
oats this year?”
It is probable that this land needs
phosphoric acid and potasn. If you
have turned down a growth of pea
vines, these have added organic mat
ter that will go through the process
of nitrofleation and wijl furnish all
the nitrogen needed by cotton and
corn. And the best thing you can
do for the future of your land will
be to use some of these on the pea
crop and make hay of it to feed to
stock and make manure. The best
thing you can have for corn is barn
yard manure and the peas will help
you get this. Then adopt a regular
system of rotation, and farm instead
of dosing the soil with fertilizer for
every crop grown. A mixture of
300 pounds of acid phosphate and
twenty-five pounds of muriate of
potash will be of use on the cotton
and corn, but if you feed stock and
raise manure you can put them with
peas and let them do the rest. W.

What the Teeth Will Tell You.
Between two and a half and three
years old the horse has the two mid
dle teeth in'the lower and upper jaw
developed; between three and a half
and four years he has four teeth in
the lower and upper jaw; between
four and a half and five years old
he has six developed, or as horsemen
say, he has a full mouth at five.
Stallions and geldings have tusks;
mares usually do not.
After this we go by the appear
ance of the teeth, or rather the
marks or cups or black marks, as
they are called, in the teeth. At six
the marks in the two middle teeth
of the lower jaw have about disap
appeared; at seven those in the next
two teeth have almost vanished; at
eight those in the corner teeth o£
the lower jaw have nearly gone; at
nine those In the centre pair of the
upper jaw have about gone; at ten
those in the next two have about
gone; at eleven the marks should be
out or nearly out of the corner
teeth of the upper jaw.—Progressive
Farmer.
Profitable Beekeeping
The main element in profitable bee
keeping is to have the stocks strong.
Those who are unable to do this ought
to keep out of the business of keeping
honey-bees. A good many things need
to be remembered and practiced in
order to succeed in this business. Tbr
colony must have steadily a fertile
queen or it will perish.

journeyof 1,800 miles along the Atha
basca and Mackenzie rivers. His j es .
is Fort Good Hope, which is
about 100 miles within the Arctic Cir

DON’T cur YOUR CORNS.
If you suffer with corns, bunions, sore,
callous spots on the feet or soft corns be
tween the toes, go to your druggist or send
25c. by mail for Abbott’s east Indian corn
paint. It cures quickly and permanently
without cutting, burning or “eating” the
flesh and leaves no pain or soreness. Ad

According to Dr. Hadley, president
of Yale, the idle rich are the curse
of the country.
John R. Dickey’s old reliable eye water
cures sore eyes or granulated lids. Don’t
hurt, feels good; get the genuine in red box.

Northern and Southern Roasts.
The Northern idea as to coffee is to
roast it a light brown and brew it into
a thin liquid resembling tea. The
Southern Idea is to roast the coffee to
a rich, dark brown and make it into a
.thick black, frothy liquid of pro
nounced strength and flavor..
The Southern roast is by far the
most economical, foT a very small
quantity with an extra amount of
water will give a coffee up to North
ern table standards, while the usual
quantity made in the usual way satis
fies the Southern taste for a strong
sustaining beverage. These facts
should be kept in mind in buying
coffee. To be assured of satisfactory
results, one,should use a brand pre
pared according to Southern idea —
say Luzianne Coffee, put up in New
Orleans and now sold everywhere
throughout the South. We know of
no better brand on the markeMor all
around family use and for economy
of expenditure).
