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. F. Massey. 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. An Arctic Circle Doctor. Dr. James F.

Physician—l never knew any -to complain.—Judge, 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).
