FARM FURROWS. Farmer and Stockman. With plenty of corn husking to be done, there should be no excuse for able-bodied men to apply for aid from the city or county, the coming winter. The corn-husking machine does not appear to be coming to the front as fast as it might be hoped: A year or two ago I thought a practical husking machine had been built, but repeated trials still suggest needed improvements. No doubt the perfec husker is coming. : When hauling a short distance, it doesn’t take long to unload a: spread- er. Nevertheless, two spreaders are necessary to keep the work moving right along when more than one man works on the job. An exchange of spreaders between neighbors is a good idea. Before finishing up the fall plowing remember the garden. _ If the soil is not too sandy, the garden is better for being plowed in the fall, then spread- ing with manure to lay on top all winter, to be plowed under in the spring. I find it is less work to keep a garden clean of weeds by following out this plan. I never have fancied setting out fruit trees in the fall, nor “‘heeling”’ them in to set out in the spring. I would rather let the nursery take winter care of the stock, and buy them in the spring when time to set out. No doubt harness should be well oiled twice a year, but I have personal recollection of harness that has been in, constant use over thirty years and is still strong. The old, slow process of tanning leather was undoubtedly better than the present process, which is over with ina short time. Some of these old sets of harness I mention never have been oiled. In Kansas, the other day, a motor- ist ran over a farmer’s dog, the dog running out in the road and dodging under the auto. The farmer shot the motorist with a small rifle, inflicting aflesh wound. A jury found the farmer not guilty. Without in any way standing up for the motorist that “burns up the road,’’ I want to say that such a decision from a jury shows rank prejudice rather than justice. The dog that dashes out to the road after every passing vehicle, either auto or team, needs killing. One thing to the advantage of the work of filling a silo is that light showers or heavy dews need not hin- der. It is often better that the corn is dampened when going into the silo, but to put it in the shock damp too oiten means molded and musty fodder. It is now getting the time of year when nothing but a road drag should be used in road work, except as washouts make fills necessary around culverts. Grading any quantity of dirt into the roadway at this season of the year means mud through the most of the winter if there is mud anywhere. It is never a good plan to cut corn very green, but it is worst of all to put it in large shocks if necessity re- quires the cutting before it has reach- ed acorrect stage. The best plan I know is to put an amount that should go in one shock into two, placing them close together, and when suffi- ciently cured, to double them up. This makes some extra work, but it is better to do it than to have spoiled fodder due to building the shocks too large, or to let the fodder weather un- duly because of greater surface ex- posure in small shocks. | If you have been having trouble in getting a good well near the barn, dig a spacious cement cistern at one corner of the building, run a system of troughs around the eaves, and your troubles on that score will be at an end. Many farmers’ telephone lines give very inefficient service. Let every farmer “‘boost’’ for improvement in this respect. Where the cane gets too ripe it will not make the highest grade sorghum. Weare being told that we must save our seed corn now or run the risk of losing our next crop. Whether this advice is good or not depends on where this early picked corn is storéd. If it is put in a close room or left in cks or piles for any length of time it will be worthless, but if it is hung in an airy room in such a manner that the ears are as independent of each other as they are in the field it will make the best of seed. Speak a little more kindly to the there would be many homes on our rairies withqut an orchard or a wind- break. If you haven’t plenty of shed room for all the machinery get busy. Many of the leading nurseries do not replace the stock that dies the first year after planting now like they did formerly. This is a good move in more ways than one. It will lead to more careful work in planting, tending the young trees and will cause the planter to think twice before buy- ing from a stranger who represents a district nursery. Save all the cane heads for winter chicken feed. A cement foundation is the best for a gasoline engine or a cream separa- tor,. but for the engine it is perhaps a little better to put planks on the ce- ment while it is moist and have the anchor bolts pass through these and the base of the engine. A little oil will stop the squeaking of hinges and it dues not take long to apply it. Now is a good time to stop the squeaks, then take a hammer and a few nails and look for leaks to mend. Milk cows should not.be left out in the yard on cold, rainy nights after Jack Frost has begun to send out hints that he is coming to see us. When the choreman begins to think about heavier underwear it is time to begin to think about stabling the cows, A strap with a roller buckle at one end is not at all bad for drawing the corn shocks tight before tying with twine. Weeds growing along the roadside are not a thing of beauty nor are they a joy, but it looks as though they will be with us forever. If we are to have} | spends two hours cutting weeds along the road? well. The man who cannot face an occa determination, is not fit to wrestle with the difficulties of farm life.
