BUTLER, MISSOURI FARM FURROWS. * na is that wikia saying oo out of Farmer and Stockman fxqow a quarter-section farm with a firaw or ravine running clear across it'that cuts nearly three tons of wild hay per acre each year for the last two decades. It is the best-paying part of the farm, and better than it would be if plowed and tiled for other crops. The fertilizer from the rest of the farm and from the lot of adjoining land washes across it every spring. The owner says he would not have it tiled and broken up if anyone would do it for nothing. Willow roots will finda tile six rods from the tree ina dry season. The woven wire fence and a_ small flock of sheep are the best weed kill- ers for the average farmer. Smaller} fields and more sheep, more money and less work. Give the sheep the} stubble field after the grain is out for | a month and the fall plowing won't) order with the machinery part it is usually during a windstorm. This, to use a slang phrase, puts the owner “up in the air,” but if he has good sense he will stay as near the earth as possible until the storm is over be- fore trying to doany repair work. Others may do as they please about plowing under cornstalks in prepar- ing ground for corn, but as for me I am done with that practice forever. This year I tried it on fifty acres and we are having a terror of a time cul- tivating the corn. I believe a man is ahead in the end if he will burn his stalks outright, or what is better, he should cut most of his corn and feed it fodder and all. We have no grudge against college professors, but it is amusing to note how wild some of their statements are. One of these fellows, who is connected with the national depart- be green. | One man plants corn in March and! it grows, another plants it May 10th and the same seed rots in the ground, | The condition of the ground and its| location hasa lot to do with it.

How would you like to cross-cultivate corn planted in that manner, especially if it were justa little bit out in the} checking? That would be a Fourth of July picnic sure enough. More farmers madea mistake in planting their corn deep this year than has been the case any time in the last decade. It should always be | remembered that soil water moves from below upward froma depth of fifteen feet, so that corn planted two inches or two and one-half inches deep is always apt to find moisture enough to germinate it. I put ina special seed-corn patch this year, having the idea in mind of getting a supply of high-yielding corn.

A gentleman who built his poultry house on low ground was at a loss to know from what cause the epidemic of colds came with the fall rains. A visiting poultryman took him after night to the poultry house standing in a fog of damp night air, then up to the higher levels where the air was dry and fresh, and the source of the colds was no longer a mystery.

Agency of Charcoal. Ruralist. Many poultry raisers do not realize the worth and utility of charcoal in poultry husbandry—some there are who do not use it at all. Doctors have long recognized it as one of the most potent neutralizers and cor- rectives for disordered digestion in both man and beast. Poultry are voracious eaters and, because of this fact and that their food is often in such condition as to produce various stomach disorders, the use of char- coal would prove very beneficial. When soft feed in the way of mashes are fed to the fowls, charcoal is very essential, for it corrects any tendency of the food to sour and greatly assists the process of diges- tion. It has been proven that all poultry will grow and fatten faster and the meat , will be more delicious in flavor when charcoal is fed to them regularly; in fact, in all the large fattening plants charcoal is reg- ularly fed to all the fowls in the fat- tening coops. Charcoal can be pur- the eyes, making the chick thorough- | ive as well as thoroughly un- | comfortable. Much of this disease | could be avoided if the chicks were | |kept out of the weeds. A dense} | growth of weeds seems to spring up in a night, there is other work to be done, and the thicks forced to wander through this undergrowth wet with dew each morning, become draggled and sick before we know it. A chick | will not thrive where the sunshine | does not go; the little chicks need! short grass to range over. To keep} them well and thrifty, keep them dry and comfortable. The hen rarely carries summer hatched chicks over |three or four weeks. It’ is these weaned chicks cheeping about after their truant mother which usually fall | victims to the chicken-pox. Another reason for keeping the weeds well cut about the chicken coops is that they furnish a barber for rats. Lettuce is one of the best of green foods for chicks and older birds as well. Cutup and mixed with table scraps or mash, the chicks love it, and will soon eat it alone. Ducks and goslings should have all the green food they will eat, in fact, a gosling chased at any poultry supply house, |"equires pasture more than grain, but can easily be manufactured at|4Nd if given a run on tender grass home.
