For several years I have been on the hunt for a genuine sweet corn that would meet the requirements of hardiness, extra earllness and flavor. I think I have found it, and whether a sport or the result of breeding I do not know, for its his tory is not known to me. Ee this as it may, it has made good on all the above points, and that under the most trying conditions of all my experience in corn growing. Under the poorest of soli conditions and drouth that cut my other varieties nearly one half, this corn stood up without flinching and matured ears ready for use in sixty-three days from planting. It is a true sweet corn, superior in flavor to any of the first early sorts that I have found, and showed no traces of smut so destructive to nearly all extra early varieties. J. E. Morse, in the Michigan Farmer. VINES FOR THE PORCH. Some of the stronger growing vines which can be grown on porches are woodbine (Ampelopsis qulnque folla), trumpet vine (Tecoma radi cans), Dutchman's pipe (Arlstolochla Slpho) and kudzu vine (Puererla Thunbergiana). The trumpet vine is liable to get into the Joints of the house and force them apart, so you can do as you wish about planting It It has very pretty red trumpet-shaped flowers. Other vines are Actlnldla arguta, with white flowers; bitter sweet (Celastrus scandenB), which has beautiful clusters of orange col ored fruit; Clematis panlculata and C. Vlrginiana are two very beautiful vines, which produce a profusion of white flowers; Clematis Jackmant, velvety purple with a central tuft of pale green stamens; Akebia quinata, which has chocolate-colored flowers, and Wisteria Sinensis, having large, pendent, cone-shaped clusters of pur ple, pea-shaped flowers. Indianapo lis News. PEACHES BY DRY FARMING. Elberta peaches the size of a tea cup are reported by John M. Howell, of Parker County, Texas, who at tributes his success as an orchardtst to the practice of dry farming meth ods. In an Interview, Mr. Howell stated that his peach trees did not have a drop of rain for three months prior to the picking for the grape. "Dry farming, or scientific soil cul ture," said Mr, Howell, "will mean a great deal for our agricultural Inter ests, It is practiced successfully in sections of the country that have far less rainfall than we have in Parker County, and there is no question but that tt will do the work It the proper methods are followed. "On my orchard tract there has been practically no rain for three months. I broke the orchard land between the trees In the spring with a disc harrow. Since that time I have cultivated the soil both ways with a section harrow every week and the result has been astonishing. There is a fine dust mulch four to five Inches deep over the ground and the trees are growing as nicely as if there had been plenty of rain. The fruit has grown and matured without rain and is now ripening into as perfect speci mens as any one could desire." CARING FOR GRAPES. The rules for grape culture from the experiment station record. United States Department of Agriculture, are: The main points in grape culture are summarized as follows: With a few exceptions grapes of the Lnbrusua species, of which the Con cord may be taken as the type, are the most satisfactory for general planting. A warm, rich, well drained soil is best for .the grape. Almost all vines should be planted at least eight feet apart. Strong one-year-old vines are most desirable for planting. Thorough shallow cultivation is es sential. The pruning of the first two years must be done with reference to the system under which the vine Is to be trained after it begins fruiting. Dur ing this time the vine should become thoroughly established. The best time for the principal pruning i3 soon, after the leaves drop in autumn, but pruning can be done at any time during the' winter when the vines are not frozen. Summet pruning consists of pinching lateral branches in order to encourage the development of the fruit and the bearing wood tor the succeeding year. The long arm, short spur system of training is usually the most satis factory for the inexperienced grower, but the renewal systems are highly recommended. : Farm Topics j GRAIN RATION. A good grain ration for lambs is made as follows: Mix one-third part of ollmeal with one part each of bran, oats and fine cornmeal. Red clover hay or the second cutting of alfalfa hay are the most desirable form of roughage. Of the two alfalfa is to be much preferred. Farmers' Home Journal. GREEN BONE FOOD. In connection with green bone, foods rich in carbonaceous elements should be fed to supply heat and energy, and when this is done there is no good reason why the egg basket should not be kept full at all times. The man who feeds intelligently Is the one who reaps the greatest profit from his fowls. Farmers' Home Journal. FOWLS IN COLD WEATHER. According to good practical author ity when the cold weather begins the capacity of the hens for finding a por tion of their food will be lessened; hence they must be supplied by the poultryman. Not only wHl ground oyster shells and gravel be necessary, but green food and water. Green food is easily obtained by using finely chopped clover, which should be steeped in boiling water and fed early in the morning. Weekly Witness. FATTEN QUICKLY. The cattle should be fattened as quickly as possible. It never pays to prolong the feeding even though a man may think he will strike a bet ter market later. Whilo heavy feed' lng is not so good at the start the amount of grain should be Increased from time to time until the cattle are on a full feed. Plenty of roughness should always be provided, and the herd should have free access to pure water and good salt. Farmers' Guide. SHEEP ON THE FARM. An Arkansas reader states what a few sheep are doing for him. He says: I figure my sheep produce an aver age of about ten pounds of wool at twenty to thirty cents per pound, which Is from $2 to $3 per head for the wool alone. I expect my lambs to bring at least $3 per head, depending, of course, on size and market prices. Total for wool and lamb, $5 to 6 per head per year. This Is, I consider, about an aver age for common sheep, but with sell ing a few for breeding purposes the average price can be raised, which will mean more profit on the herd. I think the average man can take a flock of sheep and will And no trou ble in making $5 to $6 and often much more clear money per head per year. I find that the raising of sheep is one of the surest profits of any on the farm, and It comes when It is usually needed. LIME ON LIGHT AND HEAVY SOILS Sandy soils do not requtre as large amounts of lime as are needed for the profitable utilization of heavy lands possibly only one-third or oue fourth as much, according to Profes sor Voorhees, of the New Jersey Ex periment Station. In heavy soils com paratively large quantities of lime are needed for the maintenance of satis factory moisture and aeration condi tion. It is one of the functions of lime In such soils to cause the fine particles to flocculate, to increase the size of the air spaces and to make possible a more rapid circulation of air and moisture. Thorough liming of heavy soils facilitates the escape of excessive moisture and permits them to warm up at an earlier date. Va rious chemical and bateriologlcal ac tivities are encouraged and the pro ductive power appreciably Increased. Lime undoubtedly encourages the ac tivities of various kinds of soli bacte ria. It encourages the processes of decay and nitrification. It hastens the disappearance of the humus, but provides also for a more abundant supply of available nitrogen to crops, MISTAKE IN HOG FEEDING. J. L. Stratton told the Farmers' Institute these sixteen mistakes In feeding hogs: It Is a mistake for one inexper ienced to undertake the feeding of hogs unless he expects to make a study of it and improve upon his mis takes. It is a mistake for the city farmer living in town to trust the feeding of his hogs to the average hired man He is not likely to make a success of It. ' It is a mistake to try to raise bogs on an exclusive diet. You ask what kind of feed to give them. I will ask What kind of feed can be produced on your farm and in your locality, then give them a variety of it. These feeds should be given in such relation to each other as to meet the varied needs of the swine system. It is a mistake to forget that the hog is a grazing animal. It is a mistake if the hog is not fed in a clean place, free from both dust and mud. It is a mistake to overwork or un derfeed.. Ordinarily it is a mistake not to feed the liquid before the solid food. It Is a m'lstake to feed constipating food and nothing to correct it. It is a mistake to feed breeding stuff as if you were fitting it for the market. . Graft at Home and Abroad. It Is 34 years since the late Sena tor Hoar, in a moment of uncharacter istic bitterness, declared that It thpre were any one art in which America surpassed all the rest of the world It was the art of corruption. If Senator Hoar were still aUve, we uuu'ul if he would say today, what he said in 1876, apropos of the Centennial expo sition in Philadelphia; and we doubt If quite so many would agree with it now as did asree with it then. Amer icans travel more than they did then, and learn more about the troubles of other peoples and governments. Com ing out of a foreign hotel and finding every emp'.oye who has rendered the least service, or even gone through the motions, lined up for a tip makes one think better of our own country. But thnt Is not the only thing. Rea sonably cheerful souls find common honesty growing commoner rather than scarcer among ourselves. Har per's Weekly. A Generous Gift.

Lltt'e was heard about tungsten till the last year or so, when It begun to be successfully used as a filament for electric lamps. The production In this country In 1909 of tungsten concentrates reckoned at CO per cent of tunsstic trioxide was 1,958 short tons, valued at $740,130, says the Geo logical Survey, whose figures are based upon returns received from pro ducers. Of this amount Boulder county. Col., produced 1,401 tons, val ued at r)50,280. In 1908 the total production was 671 short tons, valued at $229,955, and there was therefore an increase in 1909 of 1,287 tons In output and of $510,175 In value, or about 200 per cent. The tonnage In 1909 Is the Jargest yet recorded, and the value of the product was exceeded only by that of 1907. which was $890,- 048. The average unit price'' for the whole amount produced in the United States In 1909 was $0.50. In the early part of 1907 the price was $14, but It dropped to $9 and inter to $5, and was still lower for most of 1908, New York Sun.
