NEIGHBORHOOD CHARITY.
�• The cry for food for war rid-
den Europe Leis wakened our
people to renewed appreciation
of their duties to needy neigh-
bors both in the next townships
and in the countries beyond the
seas.
The bins and larders of Amer-
ican farmers are the least influ-
enced by the ravages of the
present war, and the large har-
vest recently reaped brings an
obligation to share with those
who are without food. Ship-
loads of foodstuffs have sailed
from American ports, and a sys-
tematic distribution of aid in
Europe has been splendidly. or-
ganized. But there are in every
American community a few
families that have felt the pinch
of financial depression and are
obliged to deny themselves even
common necessaries.
Too much attention cannot be
called to our need of caring for
those near to us, however
urgent may be the demands of
those at a distance. We have
seen families subsisting on two
scanty meals a day in communi-
ties where hundreds of barrels
of potatoes were lying in the
sheds awaiting a rise in price.—

GRADING SEED CORN.
May Be Graded Better Before Ears
Are Shelled Than Afterward.
Seed corn may be graded better be
fore the ears are shelled than after-
ward. The United States department
of agriculture specialists in corn inves-
tigations consider it difficult to grade
shelled corn satisfactorily.
If the seed ears vary greatly as to
size of kernel they should be separated
into two or three grades according to
size of kernel. These grades should
be shelled separately, tested in the

spend with the number on the planter
plates that are found to drop them
most uniformly. These arrangements
can be completed before the rush of
spring work begins.
The first operation in properly shell•
ing seed corn is the removal of the
small kernels from the tips of the ears
and the round, thick kernels from the
butts. The former are less productive
than the other kernels of the ear. The
round butt kernels are as productive
as the other kernels of the ear, but do
not plant uniformly in a planter.
Shelling seed corn carefully by hand
is profitable. The greater the acreage
planted the greater the profit. Into a
shallow pan or box each ear should be
shelled separately, rejecting any worm
eaten or blemished kernels. If the
supply from the one ear appears good
end contains no poor kernels it is pour-
ed into the general supply and another
ear shelled in the salve way.

ONIONS AND CABBAGE.
The Estimated Crop of These Vege•

[Prepared by the United States depart-
meat of agriculture.)
Reports received from 250 shipping,
points In sixteen principal late onion
producing states show tbut approxi-
mately 18,034 carloads of onions were
shipped from these stations in 1913.
OC this number about 12,239 cars were
moved during harvest time and 0,005
carloads were held in storage at those
points for later sale. From these re-
ports the for,
commercial onion
crop for the year 1014 at the same
,points is 21.623 carloads, and the es-
timated quantity going into storage at
those points 7,879 carloads. These six-
teen states produce about 75 per cent
of the annual crop.
Reports received from 328 shipping
points in ten principal late cabbage
producing states shots that approxi-
mately 18,094 carloads of cabbage were
shipped from these stations in 1913.
Of this number about 14.465 were
moved during harvest time and 4,229
carloads were held in storage at those
points for later sale. From these re-
ports the estimated commercial 1•nb-
bage crop for the year 1914 at the same
point is 20,300 carloads, of which num-
ber around 15,745 cars are being moved
during the harvest and about 4A4r, cars
put into storage. These ton states pro-
duce about two-thirds of the annual
crop.
A Prolific Egg' Layer.
What is probably the largest egg rec•
ord ever made in 305 days by any kind
of fowl was recently completed by an
Indian runner duck owned by John
Slade of Malvern, Pit. According to a
certified record this duck laid 3714 eggs
In 305 days. In other words, there were
only seven days to the entire year that
this duck did not produce an egg.

Be sure you are not keeping two
head of stock where you have grain
and roughage to winter only one. It is
better to keep one animal well than to
half keep two.
Would it not add to the health of
yourself and family if you would se•

and healthiest hogs from your herd and
feed them those rations which are
clean, pure and wholesome, then iia,
these animals for your winter's meat

The business farmer likes the type
of stock that brings the quickest and
most sure returns. That's tbe reason
the dairy cow is so popular with men
of this kind.
The cow that is allowed to fall off in
her milk liow is seldom made to regain
ft at n profit.
The abused cow is always tbe ugly
cow. Likewise the ugly cow has near-
ly always been made that way by

furnishes forage late in autumn and
early in spring. 'In this country it Is

FRESH AIR PREVENTS
ROUP IN POULTRY
SOME WINTER VETCH!.
not hardy north of 40 degrees. There
are numerous species of vetch, mostly
climbing annual, biennial and peren-
nial herbs, natives of Europe. northern
Africa, western Asia and America.
Their cultivation for feed and for for-
age dates back to the Romans. One
of the best species of vetch introduced
into the United States Is the hairy
vetch, an annual which 1s successfully
grown in various sections of the coun-
try.
Varieties of Winter Wheat.
Useful information in regard to the
varieties of winter wheat best fitted to
various states in the eastern half of
the Union is contained in a bulletin of
the department of agriculture.
Since the introduction of hardy va-
rieties of winter wheat from southeast-
ern Europe the winter wheat area in
this country has expanded steadily
northward. It has been found by expe-
rience that winter wheat in general
gives larger yields than spring wheat
because of its greater drought reslst-
ance and its earlier maturity, which
enables It to escape hail, winds, dis-
ease, etc. In Iowa, for example, the
average yields for five years show an
advantage of 4.8 bushels in favor of
winter wheat over spring wheat, and
a four year test In Minnesota was even
more favorable, showing an advantage
of 8.5 bushels. A great number of va-
rieties, however, of winter wheat make
a careful selection on the part of the
farmer advisable.
We have found that too close con-
finement in poorly ventilated houses is
the greatest cause of colds and roup in
poultry, 'writes a correspondent of the
National Stockman. We have tried
various experiments along the lines of
preventing colds and roup, because pre-
vention is really the only way of bat-
tling this disease. No amount of cures
and curing will eventually conquer the
disease so long as the proper preven-
tive measures are not employed and
the cause as far as possible reinoved.
We believe plenty of fresh air without
drafts is the only and most satisfactory
preventive for this prevalent and dead-
ly disease.
We made several experiments in re-
gard to this last year. We placed two
fowls with badly developed colds, yet
not roup, in a fresh air coop almost en-
tirely open in tbe front with nothing to
cover it but inch netting. We use these
houses in the summer for housing
growing stock. in this coop it was as
cold as outside. The floor was a corn.
mon wood floor blocked several inches
up from the ground. We fed them, as
usual, mostly cracked corn and wheat
and water. In about a week both show•
ed signs of improving, and to three
weeks no signs of their colds were no•
ticeable. At the end of four weeks
they were in perfect condition, their
combs were of a bright red color and
they were lively and very healthy ap•
1 FEEDING DAIRY COWS. I
"Imitate June If yon would succeed
in theliviuter feeding of dairy cows,"
is the suggestion offered by reprt scuta•
tives of the college of a i.icultnie G ul-
versity of Wisconsin in the 1>ccl uiber
bulletin of the Wisconsin flunkeys' as•
soda don.
e "Nature," they tell us, "gives the
et dairyman a model In the month of
June. This is recognized to such an
extent that the very words 'lune ens -
tare' suggest the ideal conditions fur
®' the production of milk and butler fat
00 of the highest quality and in the grcitt-
qp est abundance."

If the best results are to be ob-
tained with hens considerable suc-
culent material in addition to the
grain ration 0 necessary. During
the winter this greenmaterial can
best be supplied by manges beets
which havo been grown the pre-
vious 'summer and .stored to keep
them from freezing. - in the ab-
sence of beets this green food is
commonly supplied by sprouting
grain, usually oats. The grain
should be put in a warm, moist
room and fed at a time when the
sprouts are about three inches long.
placed them along with the rest, and
before a great while they were laying
regularly.
In another experiment we placed two
fowls in a specially constructed hang-
ing coop in the basement barn for
sheep. It was hung up over the sheep
to save room. here it was always com-
fortably warm during the winter time,
but there was not sufficient ventilation
to be an ideal place for poultry. They
were fed in the same way as the two
above mentioned.
13y the end of two weeks they had
thoroughly developed colds. We tried
doctoring by several methods, trying
various cold cures, but of no avail. The
entire winter they were always more or
less affected with colds. Of course it is
unnecessary to say that they did no
laying, and they did not get entirely
well until early in the spring.
Dry Mash Feeding.
A safeguard against both overfeeding
and underfeeding is the dry mash
trough. A mixture of ground grain
with bran may be placed where the
fowls can go to it at their pleasure. If
they are taking too much of it, how-
ever. keep this "dry mash" closed half
of the day. Much care must be exer-
cised or there will be a great waste of
feed in the use of the dry mash hop-
ners.
