"With Special Reference to Several Vaâ€" rieties of Sweet Brands. it is not too late to consider sweet r'coru, of which there are several varie- "tlcs. The illustration gives an idea‘ * of the high state of perfection to which -~nny species of corn, sweet or other- wise. can attain when cultivated with ware. The illustration shows the pos- isihilities of the better brands when ‘pmpcrly planted and grown under good «munitions. « A popular standard of sweet corn is Illie Early White Cob Cary. The White ‘(Tob has all the good qualities of its ipareut and with the added advantage \of having a white cob and pure white grains. The stalks are of medium height, stout and stocky, allowing a close planting. In good land, well fer- :tilized, two cars may be grown to the :stalk. It is not only the best early wariety, producing marketable ears WHAT CULTURE WIL‘D DO FOR coax. :‘fifty-five days from germination. but it is also the best corn to plant for the . nearly fall markets. The. Country Gentleman is the best :secoud early variety for the private family as well as for the retail trade. The corn is of delicious qualityâ€"cow ~.-sidered the. swuelest in cultivation. Planted -on rich ground and given ex- itra fertilizing and culture. two or three large ears can be grown to the stalk. I "o‘towall’s Evergreen is the variety both for market and for the “private family. The cars are of large :size. grains deep. lender and sweet, a vigorous grower, producing one to two large ears to the stalk. it requires fully sixty days to mature marketable vears.

Every farmer in the United States; must be interested in the lumber pro- ' duced. During the year 1908 31,231 sawmills in the United States manu- factured 33,289.369,000 feet of lumber, according to a preliminary report is- sued by the bureau of the census. These mills also cut 12,106,483,000 shingles and 2,986,684,000 lath. Lumâ€" ber manufacturing, like every other industry, felt the efi‘fects of the busi- ness depression which began in OC- tober, 1907. Consequently the produc- . tion in 1908 was. below that for the previous year. In 1907 the cut of 28,850 sawmills was 40,256,154,000 feet, i the highest production ever recorded. Nothwithstanding, therefore, that in 1908 reports were received from 8 per cent more mills than in 1907,_the de- crease in lumber cut reported by them was slightly over 17 per cent. | Washington, as for several years, still ranks first among the states in lumber production, its cut in 1908 be- ing 2,915,928,000 feetâ€"a decrease of 22.8 per cent over the cut in 1907. Nearly all the lumber manufactured in Washington is Douglas fir, the mar- ket for which was seriously alfected by the panic. Louisiana ranks second, with 2,722,421,000 feet, a decrease of 250,000,000 feet, or 8.4 per cent, from the cut in 1907. Louisiana is first in the production of both yellow pine and cypress. Mississippi was the ' third state in lumber production in phosphate with the earth; drop three ' grains lu'enry illt‘llt's apart in the row.

Arkansas ranked fourth with 1,656.- 991,000 feet, a decrease of nearly 17 per cent from the previous year’s out- put, and Wisconsin fifth with 1,613,- 315.000 feet against 2,003,279,000 feet in 1907. In Texas, where the lumber Industry is confined almost exclusively to yellow pine. the falling off was very heavy. The total cut of the state in 1908 was 1,524,008,000 feet. a decrease of 31.6 per cent from the cut in 1907. Eight other states manufactured more than one billion feet each of lumber last year. in the order of im- portance they were: Michigan. Oregon, Minnesota. Pennsylvania, Virginia, Al- abama, North Carolina and West Vir- California, Maine and other states which reported more than one billion fect each in 1907 went just be- 5 low that figure in 1908. I ‘ ports from 2,291 mills. l p While there are runny very large sawmills in the United States, the small mills far outnumber the large ones. Many of these small mills are in the states which are not now of first rank in lumber production. The statistics for New York were collected by the forest, fish and game commis- sion of that state, which secured re- in Pennsyl- vania 2,224 mills reported to the cen- sus, and in Virginia 1.937 mills.

What the Middle West Knows About the "Dry" Process. “Dry farming” is a misnamed science. It is a recent discovery and is being taught to the new settlers in the mid- die west and in Colorado. To those who know nothing of it the idea may be described as farming by conserv- ing natural moisture. The new set- tlers learned that there were copious rains in the fall, heavy snows in win- ter and rains in the spring again. If this moisture, which ran off into swol- len streams with the coming of spring, could bet-conserved to the growing I crops the desert might yet be rejuve nated, and so they set to work. The great farms were plowed ten and twelve inches deep. They were ] harrowed fine in the fall. and the rain was allOWed to settle in the subsoil. In the spring they were cultivated again, these 10.000 acre farms, and they Were left standing to absorb mois- ture for a. year, with constant cultivat- ing to help the moisture retention. . The second fall the seed was put in, and the new rains and snow and thaws brought out the spring Wheat thicker and greener than ever. But what of the blistering suns of sum‘ mer? The new farmer prepared for them by-‘blanketing his land to keep the sun from drying out his subsoil. For this purpose a dust mulch was spread over all the sowed land. The rays of the sun were reflected by it : and underneath the moisture nour- ished the roots of the Wheat, though . the tops were dry. The experiment succeeded, and the country had been proved “good for something anyhow." This mode of scientific conservation 3 of the moisture has been the root of all growth. Through it alfalfa, with i its stout roots digging far down to the f subterranean springs, has been made possible. Through it the first sugar ! beets were grown. ' These are, to be sure, vastly sepamâ€"‘, ble products, having to do with dis- 3 tinct industries. : Alfalfa means cattle, ; and sugar beets mean sugar mills and , towns. Alfalfa came first. Then corn came. and then the cattle were intro- . duced anew. I Now all through these regions are 1 great ranches where hand fed and fat- l tened cattle are producedâ€"not the g gaunt range strers of Texas, but fat cattle, ready for the market and com- manding top prlees. Remedy For Plant Lice. One of the beet methods of destroy- ing plant lice on roses and shrubs is by theuse of tobacco stem solution. Pour a gallon of boiling water on a , pound of tobacco stems and about, twelve or- fifteen hours later add four ‘ more gallons‘of water. Apply with a I sprayer or sprinkling pot.

The chicken is universal. a money bringer of more or less amount upon every farm, and no other staple is so. A farm may have no grain to sell, but it is sure to sell in the year some chickens and eggs. There are no farms l where there are no chickens and ' WWW. _ . coco cow-w Mrcwoeom o Mkva WOW owe-cwo-o 00 W, J. " ' ma soar: THING on was main money return from them. The univer- sality of the chicken on farms gives the business, incidental as it is in each particular case, the first place as a The sum of infinite small units against the finite and lim- ited larger ones gives the excess to the poultry returns in Missouri. Odd again is it that this industry, so large and vast, is conducted so easily and quietly. There is no sweat, no strain. no worry over chickens. The industry seems to care for itself and cares extremely well. Men of the farms look slightingiy upon it as a woman's affair, unworthy of a grown man’s serious attention, and it is at- tended to almost exclusively by the women and children. while the money ‘ return is woman‘s money to spend as she secs fit. independent of that for support and maintenance furnished as duty calls by the lord and master from sources under his direction. man’s work. That the chicken money, the woman’s money, is big as it is speaks the story for the hen and the house- wife. They outdo the male and any- thing of his except in the ability to crow. ‘ Painting Farm Implements. The farmer who takes proper care of his implements not only houses them and keeps them in good adjustâ€" ment. but he paints them occasionally. Paint closes all cracks and keeps out the moisture: It not only preserves the wood, but the iron parts are bene- fited as well. it also gives the tools a much better appearance. Before-ap- plying new paint remove all old paint that is likely to scale off and see that all pom are thoroughly clean and do.
