Suggestions for Farm Work DRE3SMAKING AT HOME in June. Letter in Progressive Farmer by W. F. Massey Corn, Truck and Harvesting of Small Grains. WORKING WITH THE CORN. KEEP THE WEEDIB BUST The weeder and the smoothing harrow were just as important in the early stare of the coin croD as in the cot ton field. The way to kill weeds is not to let tbem get established, and the weeder can be used on the corn crop longer than on the cotton. There is no objection to a deep cul tivation close to the corn when it is small, but all subsequent working should be shallow and rapid and care taken that no roots are cut. SKOTV DWABP PEAS Do not SOW rank running peas in the corn to tangle it aui make it harder to cut, for I assume tht you are going to cut the crop off t the ground while the fodder s good aud the ears are well dented. Sow a dwarf bush variety and when the corn is cut you can disc in the vines thoroughly and put thf surface in order for winter grain. A WORD AUOCT THE SSED I'ATCH. I Theu I hope that you have planted a seed paten, and are going to watch it and take out the green tassels from all inferior plants aud then select the very best for the ueit year's seed patch aud use the rest for the general crop, thus advancing year by year towards an ideal prolif ic corn plant. Much has been said by corn breed ers about the need for promoting cross fertilization to increase the vigor and productiveness of the crop. The advice is to plant separ ate rows from a series of e-trs. Then detassel each alternate row so that the pollen from the other rows will cross the pistils or silks of the de tasselled rows. This would promote cross fertilizations if we were sure that the ears selected were not close akL. But if selected from the Bame field we will know nothing of the parentage of any of the ears. The seed is taken from detasselled rows. A better way to insure crossing would be to have two seed patches remoto from each other. Then take ears from each patch and plant in alternate rows, detasselling all the rows f-om one patch so that they will be fertilized by pollen from the other patch. Then the next year reverse the order and have the male parents f:om the other patch. This would be real crossing, and is what the stations might do well, though farmers generally will not take that trouble. FLANTIXG CORK WITH A WHEAT drill. I have seen corn planted successfully with a wheat drill by stopping all hut two spouts at the proper distance apart and then har rowing and chopping out like cot ton. The wheel on the left is used as a marker. This is rapid but takes a good deal of seed. PLAXT EOR A PITLL SILO. If you intend to do the best in your farm ing, and intend to feed next winter you should by all means have a silo and should now plant the corn for it, and the wheat drill will be an excellent machine for planting this corn if you let it stand as thick as drilled. Later, I will tell how to build a cheap silo with wooden hoops that are better than iron or steel. HARVESTI '(; SMALL GRAINS. MAKE YOUR SHOCKS RIGHT. YoU will use the binker, of course, bnt the important matter is to see that the shocks are made properly to prevent damage to the grain in cur ing. Set up a good broad base and lay bundles around roof-like and cap with one good bundle. Good sized shocks are far better than small ones. BOW PEAS ON STCBBLE. TheD, if you have not sown clover on the wheat, plow the stubble at once and sow peas for hay, and when the hay is cut disc the stubble and sow crim son clover in September as a winter cover and a preparation for cotton next spring. This clover, turned down in April will give you a fioe chance to plant cottou on the level and will help the crop immensely. One farmer in South Carolina wrote to me that a growth of crimson clover made him 1,100 pounds of seed cottou without fertilizer except the acid phosphate and potash We applied to the clover, while land alougside that had no clover, four was fertilized, made 500 pounds of seed cotton per acre. THE TRUCK PATCH. 8CCCE83IVK AND CLEAN CULTI VATION. Do not allow the busy rush in the field to cause you to npglect the vegetables. It is far better to have th m out in a heavily manured piece of land in long rows that can be work el by horse power than in an enclosed garden where a great deal of hand work - will hare to be done. At fast as a row of snaps comes dd I plant another row till last of August, and thus keep a constant supply for the table. In like manner I plant rows of sweet corn for roasting ears. If the gard en is kept at work and clean all summer there will be few cut worms next spring, for the eggs are laid in the weeds and grass that are so com mon in our gardens in the fall. sow late IN JU3TE. The latter part of June is the beet time in the south to sow seed of parsnips, sa'sify, and carrots for the winter. The parsnips and salsify will make their best growth in the fall, and, in fnct, will grow all winter a little. Thestump-rooied Di nvers carrot is best for table use, and as the nights get cold a furrow can be thrown to them from each side and they will keep all right. Blood beets shoulu also be sown in Juue and in the fall treated like the carrots. MAKKETIXti HINTS. If VOU S'll vegetables put them into nice shape for the market, lie beets in Mat bunches, and onions likewise, and have them washed cle.in. Many ptople are fond of greeu peas like the white black-eye, aud it will pay to grow these in rows like snaps. There is a large white black eye pe now on the market that is much better than the old one aud npens in sixty days, so that two crops can be made on the same laud, for I have done it in Kalei"h. For a Sprained Ankle. As usually treated, a sprained ankle will disable tUe iujurec person It a numtli or more, but by applying Cliaiuiierluiu's l.iui tueut ainl observing tne direction with each Untie faitlifnlly, a cure may lie elbvtel in many cases m less than one weeK s time This liniment is a most remarkable prepara lion.

Mr. Tawuey says that the deficit this year will be 65 millions, and next year will be 150 millions. It is certain that Roosevelt will leave us a bankrupt treasury. W. R.
