In clearing and breaking land ona new farm, only a few acres can be cropped at first. On most of our farms, stock is animportantelement. Tha capacity ot the tarm is limited, not by the lack of pasture, of which there is usually an abundance, but by the ability to grow winter forage. Roots make excellent feed far cattle or sheep, and the large yields which may be obtained on a small area make the cropa very desirable one in this section. Roots should not be depended on for the main feed, which should be furnished by hay or corn fodder, but fed in small quantities with these fodders they keep the ani- mal in healthy condition so that it di- gests allits food better and comes through the winter in good condi- tion. The roots raised for this pur- pose may be either mangels, rutaba- gas and turnips, carrots or sugar beets. At the experiment farm, ruta- bagas have always given the largest yields, averaging about 20 tons per acre. They arealsu the bestadapted of any roots to new land. They are excellent feed for sheep and for cows, but under certain conditions may giveataste to the milk. Mangels have yielded 16 to 18 tons per acre and are best used as food for cattle, althou,h sheep relish them. Carrots have given yields of 10 to 12 tons per acre. They may be fed to horses with better results than any other kinds of roots, Sugar beets in all trials have fallen below mangels or rutabagas in yield, giving only 10 to 12-tons as against the much greater yields of the others. Theyare rather out of their zone of best growth in northern Minnesota. Aside from light yields, they make a better feed than mangels, as they contain more food and less water. Roots should never be fed whole to either cattle or sheep as it injures the teeth of the sheep to bite them, and cattle may choke upon them. A root cutter or a box and spade should be used to slice them up. Rutabagas may be broadcasted on breaking. but for mangels or sugar beets the ground should be well pre- pared and fairly clean ot weeds, as it takes too much time to keep the weeds out ofa crop of roots on weedy soil and this must be done to get a gooi yield. A hand wheel hoe and one horse cultivator greatly lessen the labor of caring for them. Corngrowing Old settlers in sonthern Minnesota tell of the difficulty of growing good cornin theearly days. Since that time corn has become one of their staplecrops. The improvement has been brought about by selecting and improving the corn itself, and by the opening up of the country. These processes are now being repeated in Northern Minnesota. Corn feels the effects of excessive mosture in soil and cold nights, more than other crops. With the operiing and drain— ing of the land, these conditions are modified. At the same time,the corn becomes better adopted to the cli- mate. Muchcornis already grown in the northern half of the state. Dent of good size is cultivated as farnorthas Grand Rapids. Flint varieties grow to the Canadian line, ‘The Squaw corn of the Indiansripens still further north. The question of what corn to grow is often asxed by new settlers. It must be answered separately for each locality. A vari- ety that will do well inone place may not ripen 50 miles further north—for corn requires all the heat of the growing season and this differs con- siderably at different points. Vari— eties that mav ripen in a good sea- son, may be uncertain in a cold or rainy year. Itis better to grow a kind that can be depended ontoripen than a larger sort that may tail. Each man should start, if possible, with a kind that has already been successully grown in his locality, un- less he thinks that better corn can be grown, when he should try this in asmall way. But true success must follow as it has always done only on continued selection of seed from the best ears aud hills, whereby the strain is improved and acclimated. Corn should always be planted in this climate, on high, rather light warm soil, and well manured. For thefvicinity of Grand Rapidsit should be in the ground by Mav 20th, and turther south, somewhat earlier, to give it the full growing season. HERMAN H. CHAPMAN.

Save Your Eyes. If your eyesight is good, take care of it, is the advice of Ainslee’s. Look away off yonder every time you get to the bottom of a page in reading. If it is defective, let no foolish pride pre- vent you from wearing the proper glasses. There is no sense in handi- capping yourself in life when a piece of glass befure each eye will make your vision as good as it possibly can be. The oculist will not advise you to wear glasses if you do not need them any more than he will prescribe a drug you do not need. Plenty of people, though, do not know they have defec- tive sight because they have never really seen at all. They have head- aches, inflamed eyes, styes, even much graver troubles, from the strain of try- ing to see with eyes that were put up wrong. There are cases where homi- cidal insanity has been completely cured when impaired vision has been corrected. Four Generations of Soldiers. Soldiering seems to run in the blood of certain families. A typical instance of this is furnished in the person of Mr, William Smith, chief janitor at the Edinburgh Royal Infirmary. Smith’s father was a soldier, he himself and four of his brothers “took the shilling” one after another, and he has given four sons and a grandson to the army, says the London Telegraph. This, therefore, is a case of “soldier- ing” carried through four successive generations, and the youngest of them all is able to make the proud, perhaps unique, boast that not only his great- grandfather, his grandfather and his father, but four granduncles and three uncles all served their sovereign in tha ranks. A Mysterious Author. The traveler who happens to be weather-bound in one of the Italian cities may find some amusement in the library of one of the hotels. the contents of the shelves there is a considerable sprinkling of English books, but to the visitor's surprise a large portion of these are by a mys- terious author, “Bart,” of whose name he is probably ignorant. But when he finds that Bart has written “Ivanhoe” and “The Last Days of Pompeii,” the key to the mystery is discovered. The local publisher has taken the author's title of “baronet” for his Sir Walter Scott and Edwar wer Lytton are credited with but personality between them, CRONIN RN Nt UENO Sn ne esorsahieeraie aoeene we
