ham by the recipe used by Thomas

This recipe required that the ham
be cooked for about two hours by
simmering, out under no condition

IMPORTANT CORN CROP
Elimination of Weeds Is Abso
lutely Necessary.
coll-Mulch ' Theory of Tillage Has
Been Fundamental One in Ameri
can Agriculture Soil Mois
ture Is Conserved.
(By T. C. CATES.)
Corn is one of the most Important
crops in the United States. Cultiva
tion is one of the most expensive op
erations in the production of corn. It
is also the operation which of all
phases of corn growing, has probably
received the least study or about
which we have the least fundamental
knowledge.
The soil-mulch theory of tillage has
been a fundamental one in American
agriculture. It was long ago found
that by means of a mulch, crops could
be grown in alternate years on land
receiving such scant rainfall as to
make it impossible to grow any satis
factory crop by other methods. In
studying the effect of the mulch it
has come to be generally recognized
that in most soils moisture can be
saved by maintaining the top portion
of the soil in a finely divided condi
tion. It has also been found that fre
quent stirring of the soil promotes
rapid nitrification. It would seem to
follow, naturally, that a system of
cultivation which promotes nitrifica
tion and conserves moisture would
be an extremely valuable system to
apply to a tilled crop. In practice it
has been found that In most cases fre
quent shallow cultivation gives better
yields than other methods of corn
tillage. Upon this experience tillage
philosophy has been developed and
tillage practice based.
To ascertain the ideal method of
cultivation for corn in various sec
tions of the country, experiments ag
gregating 125 and scattered over 28
states, were conducted. These ex
periments were simply removing the
wceuB wuuuul stirring me sou or pre
ducing a mulch, as against corn culti- j
vation. The measure of the relative
merits of the two systems was, not
in the preservation of soil moisture
Dr the effect on nitrification, or the
making available of plant nutrients,
but the relative yields of corn pro
duced. These tests seem to indicate that It
is the weed factor which makes the
cultivation of corn necessary, or,
Cultivated and uncultivated fodder and
ears of corn an experiment in
Kentucky last year. The cultivated
may be seen at the right and the
uncultivated at the left of the illus
tration. stating the proposition conversely,
that cultivation is not beneficial to
the corn plant, except insofar as re
moving the weeds are concerned.
The reasons why uncultivated land
kept free from weeds should yield
practically" as much corn per acre as
that given the most approved modern
cultivation are not clear. The results,
however, point strongly to the con
clusion that the principal object of
cultivation is the destruction of weeds.
Where the weeds are kept down by
some other method cultivation seems
to be of no particular advantage. This
is contrary to the accepted teaching
on this point, and the conclusion is
stated only tentatively.
If it be true that weeds make the
cultivation of corn necessary the
problem immediately presents itself
as to what farm management methods
can be pursued to eliminate or reduce
to a minimum the weed pests of the
farm. Our present implements for
cultivation are designed primarily to
produce a mulch and stir the ground.
Weed killing is a secondary function.
It I3 possible that newly designed im
plements made with special reference
to weed control, could accomplish
this end with greatly decreased
cost.
In summing up the results of the
experiments of the 125 corn growers,
it is shown that the weeded plats pro
duced 95.1 per cent, as much fodder
and 99.108 per cent, as much grajn as
the cultivated ones. If there was any
difference between either set of plats
In regard to thoroughness In keeping
down the weeds it was in favor of the
cultivated plats. Although it remains
to be demonstrated how far this prin
ciple may be applied in any particular
section, as a general average for all
the regions in which this work was
done It may be concluded that the
proposiiton just stated is substantial
ly true. If this be accepted, weed
control becomes the principal object
of corn cultivation.

Very few pure white blouses are

PROPER CARr DURING MOLT
-i . -
Hens That Have Completed Process
-.and Regained Normal Condition
Before Winter Most Desired..
The early-molting hens are the most
desirable ones, because they will have
completed the process and regained
their normal physical condition again
before winter sets in, and therefore
will be In better shape for the arrival
of cold weather and will lay . more
eggs. The hens that are not well
clothed with a new coat of feathers
by the time the weather turns cold
will not prove very profitable as win
ter layers, because cold weather will
still further retard the molt and the
fowls will suffer quite a bit with the
cold.
Molting may be hastened somewhat
by withholding the greater part ot
the food supply ten days or two weeks
and then give the fowls all they will
eat or rich flesh-forming and feather

producing foods. During the entire
time they should receive a few hand
fuls of sunflower seeds each day, as
these are very good in helping to
loosen up the feathers. Feed with
care, however, as too many would
have a bad effect, causing an unnat
ural molt.
Plenty of meat and green food are
veiT essential to getting fowls through
the molt successfully. Give them lots
of green cut bone or ground beef
scraps, and all they will eat of vari
ous kinds of green stuff, grass and
vegetables. A little linseed meal,
added to the mash two or three times
a week, will be found to be very bene
ficial at this season.
See that the fowls have cool, fresh
drinking water at all times. Keep
down lice and mites, as many of the
deaths during the molting period are
caused by these pests and not on ac
count of any hardship attending the
molting process, aa many people sup
pose. Provide dust baths in which the
fowls may wallow whenever they
want to, and these will help to ex
terminate vermin as well as furnish
healthful exercise and pleasure to the
birds.
SILAGE MAKES BEEF PROFITS
Conclusion Taken From Bulletin by
Experts of Indiana Agricultural
Experiment Station.
'ine addition or corn silage, once
daily to a ration of shelled corn, cot
tonseed meal, and clover hay, re
duced, the cost $1.83 for each hun
dred pounds of gain and increased
the total profit $8.85 per steer.
The addition of corn silage twice
dally to a ration of shelled corn, cot
tonseed meal, and clover hay, re
duced the cost $3.17 for each hun
dred pounds of gain and increased to
tal profits $11.19 per steer.
The substitutfon of corn silage for
clover hay in a ration of shelled corn,
cottonseed meal and clover hay re
duced the cost $4.35 for each, hun
dred pounds of gain and increased
the profits $17.97 per steer.
The more nearly corn silage re
places the clover hay in the ration,
the cheaper was the gain and the
greater the profit.
The silage used In this trial con
tained an unusually high per cent, of
dry mattre and was, judging from pre
vious experience, more efficient for
fattening cattle than silage containing
a higher per cent, of moisture.
A ration of shelled corn, cottonseed
meal, oat straw and corn silage (twice
daily) proved to be as-efficient for fat
tening cattle as a ration of shelled
corn, cottonseed meal, clover hay and
corn silage (twice daily).
The above conclusions are taken
from a bulletin by Messrs Skinner and
King of the Indiana agricultural ex
periment station giving the results of
a eteer-feeding test where the value of
corn silage, as a fattening ration was
tested.
KEEP HENS IN GOOD FLESH
Keep the Fowls Busy, Feed Them All

the Best Records.
(By M. PURVIS.) '
Hens that are kept thin in flesh will
not make good egg records. Profesor
Rice of Cornell, had a lot of hens killed
and their laying condition noted, dur
ing his absence. He then examined
the carcasses and was able to pick
out the best layers by simply choosing
those which showed the most fat. Keep
the hen busy, feed her all she will eat
and she will make the beet record pos
sible. Dairy's Golden Era.

How Can God

righteous (Rom.
4:5).
How can God reckon one righteous
who Is not righteous? This is a fair
question and we must face it. Sup
pose a merchant in a small town had
fallen Into debt. He is not a good
buyer, he is not accurate in his ac
counts, and he is shiftless. Suppose
a rich uncle who has made a fortune
in the same business, and has retired,
should pay him a visit. After a few
days he says to his nephew: "John, I
hear bad reports about you; people
say that you are sadly in' debt and
that your credit Is poor. I have had
a good year, and I believe I will help
you. If you will foot up all your debts
I will give you a check for the whole
amount."
John accepts his offer and pays off
his creditors. As they go out of his
store they say to one another: "We
are fortunate in getting our money
this time, but we will not trust him
again. He is the same shiftless John,
and he will soon be as badly in debt
as ever." Now what has his uncle ac
complished for John? He has paid
his debts, but he has not restored his
credit.
Suppose, on the other hand, that the
uncle had said: "John, I have been
out of business a few years and I find
that I am getting rusty. I like this
town and I have about deSded to go
into partnership with you." John is
delighted, of course. The uncle says:
"I 'will put In all my capital and ex
perience, but I shall insist upon be
ing manager of the business. You can
be the silent partner and work under
my direction. And John, I think you
had better take down that sign over
the door, for your name does not com
mand the highest respect In this town.
Suppose you put up my name Instead,
& Co. I think it will look better, and
you can be the company."
John gladly complies with the condi
tions, and the business opens under
new auspices. John goes out to buy
goods, and what does he find? In
stead of refusing to trust him, every
merchant in town is glad to give him
predit, because his rich uncle has, be
come identified with the business. In
the one case the uncle paid his debts,
but did not restore his credit. In the
other case he restored his credit by
going into partnership with him.
God's law says that the soul which
slnneth shall die. When Jesus took
our place on the cross and died for
our sins, that paid our debt, but it did
not restore our credit, it did not make
us righteous. Had there been no
resurrection of Jesus we could not
have beenjustified, though it is con
ceivable that we might have been for
given. But when Jesus rose from the
dead and identified himself with us by
faith, coming into our heart and tak
ing possession of our life, then he not
only paid our debts, but he restored
our credit. He made it possible for
God to declare us righteous, since we
have gone Into partnership with a
righteous Saviour, who has not only
kept the law perfectly himself, but
who is able to help us to keep it. He
Is the managing partner, and we sim
ply obey his orders. We have even
taken down the old sign, and now we
bear his name Christian.
Martin Luther said: "If any one
knocks at the door of my heart and
inquires If Martin Luther lives here,
I should reply, 'Martin Luther is dead,
and Jesus Christ Uvea here.' " Paul
had the same idea, for he said: "I
live, yet not I, but Christ llveth in
me." "For ye are dead and your life
is hid with Christ in God."
If Jesus lived a holy life in one
body he is surely able to do- It in an
other, if that body is yielded to his
control. God then can properly and
justly reckon the believer righteous
because of his union with the right
eous Saviour who has atoned for his
past sins by his death on the cross,
and who guarantees his present and
future conduct because that life has
been committed to his keeping.
If, as he says, he Is "able to save un
to the uttermost," "able to keep us
from falling" (Jade 24), and if he
guarantees to present us before the
presence of God's glory absolutely
faultless, surely God can safelj
reckon us as righteous. The ground
of our Justification then is not what
we are, but whose we are, not our own
good works, or our desire to be right
eous, but our union with the Lord
Jesus, who was "delivered for our of
fences, and was raised for our Justi
fication" (Rom. 4:25).

Negligence Called Manslaughter.
The case of Stehr vs. State before
the supreme court of Nebraska in
volved the sentence of a father for
from one to ten years in the peniten
tiary for criminal negligence, because
during a blizzard in Nebraska, when
the weather was bitter cold, he per
mitted the fire to go out, snow drifted
through a crack In the door and a
broken windowpane. and the bedding
of all the members of the family was
frozen stiff. The feet of one of the
children were frozen, and although
such fact was apparent to the father
no physician was called in for sixteen
days, when amputation was found to
be necessary and the child died of
blood poisoning. The defendant was
convicted of manslaughter for crim
inal negligence in failing to provide
medical care after he discovered the
frozen condition of the child's feet.
In affirming the conviction the court
held that for a parent having special
charge of an infant child culpably to
neglect it so that death ensues as a
consequence is manslaughter, al
though death or grievous bodily harm
was not intended, and if the parent
has not the means for the child's nur
ture it is his duty to apply to the pub
lic authorities for relief.
