I do not like to leave the potatoes in the soila very great while after they have ripened. A soaking rain is apt to start sprouts, and a potato that has sprouted in the soil before digging is always watery. The fruit crop of the future is going to pay better than it has paid in the past, but because of worms and in- sects of various kinds, it will take work and knowledge of what to do to raise the best crops. Many orchards are dying out without the owners planting new stock. Again it will be a good idea to buy twine needed for the corn harvest early. Last fall there was a shortage and it looks as if there would be this fall. The country now uses a lot: of twine to tie up the corn crop. Better buy what you have to have when you can get it. Better take a look at that empty stave silo. Warm winds and sun shrink it fast, and hoops should be kept tight so it will stand through a hard wind. Mark before you tighten then let back to that mark when com- mencing to fill. This will prevent bursted hoops and warped staves when filling. A pig seldom outgrows the hole he} has been used to using in the fence, although he may be doing better than any pig you ever raised before. Pigs usually do well when thay have liber- ty, but they soon commence taking too much liberty, particularly if a neighbor’s corn field is close. This is the age of larger machinery. Ican remember when the four-foot cut mower was standard. When the feet and a half folks said that was six inches to much. Now the six foot is common and seven and eight footers are quite plentiful. Cutting suckers in the corn field was once a job for the barefoot boy. Nowadays, if corn suckers the suck- ers are allowed to remain. Some- times, if rain is plentiful, the suckers bear ears the same as the original t stalk, but if not they make that much | teachers will never fail. scholarship and a preparation to do some one thing well isalwaysa sound proposition. more fodder. In the days before the corn binder how we did hate to cut suckered corn with the knife. The fat horse ona hot day, in the hands of a driver who doesn’t care is a risky combination. Many horses are ruined or partly so by careless- ness'in excessively hot weather. I notice more horses are ‘‘winded’’ in hot weather when laying by corn now that most drivers ride instead of walk. The season for best use of the disk plow is approaching. When the soil is dry and hard, as moststubble fields are during August and September, no plow pulls easier than the disk. Itisa hard, dry land plow. The furrow bottom it leaves for the horse to walk in. Being saucer-shaped, it is tough walking for the furrow horse. The scent of new-mown hay may be a fine thing for our city brothers to dream about, but if they wish to go up against the real thing let them come out and help haul on a windy day or spread hay in a bain*’some day when the thermometer shows ninety-five in the shade. The number of cows to be fed should determine the diameter of the silo to be built, because a certain ever seen.” school are high, and the cost to stud- ents less than in any other school of same rank.

Major’s proc- lamation. for feeding the army of workers on only fault Ican find with it is the|the old-fashioned but genuine sociable plan of community basket dinners. The matter was informally discussed at yesterday’s meeting of the Home- makers’ Conference at N. H. Gentry’s If the element of luck enters into farming anywhere it is in the drying of the hay crop and even with this the failure is often laid to bad luck when justa little hustle would have meant good luck and success. The “lobby probe’’ at our capitol is the cause of some mighty interest- ing reading and as usual is starting the cry of ‘“‘muckraking”’ on the part of those who happen to be touched by the rake. Muckraking is, no doubt, dirty work, butit may be as necessary as cleaning stables. The only queer part of it is that there should be so much muck to rake where only honor and_ honesty should be found. When twine binders first came in- to use I knew a farmer who drove about five miles to town to get an “expert” to come out and fix his brand-new binder when nothing un- der the sun was the matter except that that the twine that was in the binder when he started had run out. An ounce of thinking is worth more than a pound of pounding with any machine that fails to do the work that is cut out for it. Are You Going to School?

Women to Aid Road Work Sedalia, Mo., July 27.—The women Already the women are organizing Wooddale farm and there was not a dissenting voice. C. A. Thomas, superintendent of the Sedalia Special Twelve-Mile Road District, today sent out through the mails an appeal to every team owner, man and boy, who is physically able, asking all to respond for work on the days designated in order that Pettis may make’a better showing than any other county in interior Missouri. Mr. Thomas is now selecting local depth must be taken from the top each day to prevent the silage from spoiling. A ten-foot silo will do quite well for ten cows, a twelve-foot silo will furnish feed for fifteen and 2a sixteen-fuot silo for twenty or over. If a larger silo is needed it is usually better to build two in order to be sure to have fresh, sweet feed. One acre well tilled will produce more than two acres half tilled.

July 29.—Mar- tin M. Mulhall,-before the Senate Lobby Committee, heard himself de- nounced by Democratic Leader Un- derwood of the House as ‘‘a liar and a blackmailer’’ today. Then Mulhall contributed a mild sensation by testifying that Secretary Wilson, Speaker Clark, Republican Leader Mann and President Samuel Gompers of the American Federation of Labor all had rejected his pro- posals for an investigation of his lob- bying activities for the National As- sociation of Manufacturers. Clark and Mann, he said, wouldn’t have the matter “come .up.”’ Rep- resentative Underwood hotly denied Mulhall’s claim of having had an in- terview, but the lobby witness in- sisted on his story. Mr. Underwood, after one look at the witness, said: “Tneversaw him before in my life.” “T think,”’ said the majority leader, | ‘St isin the interest of the public thata man who has taken liberties with the public men, as this man has, should be contradicted. “T regard a man of this kind as a blackmailer.
