The results are the same; a large net profit In the corn plant about 40 per cent of the feeding value is in the stalk and 60 per cent in the ear. When the ear alone is fed, nearly half of the corn crop is wasted. Where the dry stalks are fed, at least half of them remain uneaten, while If stored in the silo the loss ia almost nothing.

Lummis of Fort Myers, Fla., says: This invention provides a vertical partition Interposed between the cow and the milker, and constructs the same with a large opening over and in which a flexible screen formed of rubber, skin or fabric, and having holes for insertion of the cows teats, is applied so as to completely exclude foreign substances from access to the milk paiL Thus in place of taking a scription to the COUNTY Name Emil Carlson it h 2x4-lnc- h ' Electricity C.

IN Enclosed find -- 1 Some years ago one of the representatives from the Agricultural colfarmer lege was visiting an In the country, and the farmer showed him a field of wheat which Illustrated this harrowing In a remarkable manner. A storm had passed over that section of the country and about one and a half inches of rain had fallen. It had been a dashing shower and had packed the surface of the ground considerably The grain was from four to six Inches high, and the farmef had been advised to harrow the ground to He sent his prevent evaporation. hired man to do the work, who hitched on to the harrow and dragged it diagonally across the field of wheat, and then around (he outside of the field some five or six times. He then became disgusted wlih the work because it appeared that he was dragging out so much of the grain and reported the fact to the farmer, who ordered the work discontinued. By the time the grain had headed the marks of the harrowed lections could be plainly seen. The place where it had been dragged diagonally across the field produced grain at least eight or ten inches higher than that on either side which had not been harrowed, and along the edges of the field the grain was in a like condition. The grain of the field that had not been touched by the harrow was not to be compared with the harrowed grain, either in appearance, size of plants or heads of grain. The yield from the harrowed portion was practically double that from the unharrowed portion. It simply shows that the harrowing and loosening of the surface soil, even though it did destroy some of the plants, conserved the moisture and benefited those planta that were left in such a marked degree that it materially increased the yield from that field, and shows that this practice could be employed to advantage by all Capacity 80 tons, size cost $132..

She is very Intelligent, quick to learn and of a retentive memory, easily taught to take the same place in the stable and, If required to change, will In a few days readily take the new place. She is quiet and pleasant to milk, not easily disturbed, and will as a rule yield her milk as readily to one milker as to another, and does not seem disturbed by any amount of noise In the stable. As a dairy cow she is particularly adapted to the production of milk for the milkman and for table use, as her medium size, vigorous appetite and easy keeping qualities make her an economical producer, while her even, uniform production makes her a reliable supply, and the richness of her milk in total solids places it above suspicion from city milk inspectors. Her milk is particularly adapted to transportation, as it does not churn or sour easily, and when poured back and forth a few times will readily mix the cream back into the milk, which will not again readily separate, giving it a uniform quality until the last is sold or used.
