FARM DEMONSTRATION NOTES " Farm Management." The Farmer as a Skilled Laborer — A generation ago, the fanner was primarily a .laborer. His machinery conasted of a wagon, walking plow, harrow, cultivator, hand ; corn planter, grain cradle, scythe, hand rake, flail, ax, hoe pitchfork, . and a few other tools. All of these were muscle testers. If he worked , hard all day, he was ready for a night's rest. He did not have to i read a bulletin on scientific agriculture to put him to sleep. Phys- i ical strength and physical skill were among the greatest assets, ; and were so recognized by all i farmers. If a man had common sense, and if he and his wife were : strong, their success was assured, 1 for success was in raising each < summer a little more than enough | food and clothing for the winter. i Many persons, who are not close- < ly in touch with farming, believe I that the introduction of machinery < has done away with the necessity of strength and skill in manual op- ! erations, but these will always be 1 very important considerations for • the farmer. Few people realize ' how hard it is to acquire this man- t ual skill. The -writer has had an t opportunity to see the efforts of t many city persons, and has been 1 surprised to see how difficult it is 1 to acquire manual dexterity. The 1 children on the farm learn by s years of practice. It takes thous- t ands of efforts for the boy to learn s to throw a baseball straight. Ap- i patently it is just as difficult to c learn to pitch hay. If this skill is t acquired by ten years of practice £ in childhood, little is thought c about it, but if it is to be acquired a by a mature man, it is a serious undertaking. Milking, using a saw, c using an ax, and a thousand other r manual operations are hard for a f grown person to learn ; but if one * has been used to manual labor so a that he has trained his muscles, h new operations arc not so difficult, u Grown persons who have never n learned to do manual work of any p kind rarely become successful a farmers. The time to train the 7 muscles is when they are young, tl The prospective farmer who is skilled with his hands and likes to T do manual labor has two of the very desirable traits for a farmer. But some persons ask if the tl farmer should not spend all of his o time with business affairs and ti

leave the manual work to hired help. There are instances on large plantations where the farmer need do no manual work, but the great majority of farmers must always work with their hands. In the factory one manager can supervise the work of a thousand men and can 6ee all these men in a few minutes, but with most kinds of farming this would be men enough for half a county. If this factory manager can increase the effectiveness of each man by a little, he will earn a good salary'- "With most kinds of farming the farmer can use but one to five men. To have one idle manager for so few workers would make the expense of superivsion ruinously large. The simple fact that the workers must always be scattered makes it necessary that the farmer be a worker as well as as manager. The man who works with his men and who treats his men as equals usually gets them to do much more work and at the same time keeps them better contented. Where cheap labor is used, this is not only always desirable, but it is the best way when the hired man is the farmer's equal, as is the case in most parts of the United States, where the hired man is a TK-lfflllMir'e cnn 15 — George

SUCKER THE SWEET CORN Sweet corn should have enough room for its proper development. When planted in hills not more ' than three stalks should be left to • maturity. The best yield is ob- • tained, however, when the corn is - planted in drills and thinned out 1 so that the stalks stand every 12 , to 15 inches in rows 3 1-2 feet , apart. ; The more room sweet corn has I and the richer the ground, the i more suckers will develop. These < suckers are the stalk-like growths which come out from the main • stalk at the base of the roots. When I they get large it is hard to distin- , guish them from the main stalk it1 self. In poor ground there may : be. but few, of these suckers, but in i rich soil there may be from four to six on eveiy plant. They sel- . dom produce a marketable ear, regardless of the promising appearance, and deprive the main stalk of the nourishing growth it should to develop its own ears of corn. The New Jersey Experiment Station advises that these suckers be pulled from the main stalk just before it comes into tassel. is best done the first thing in the morning "when the sun is low, the soil is cool, foliage is damp and the suckers are crisp and easily from the main stalks. the middle of the day it is hot and dry in a corn field, the suckers are wilty and tough, and they do not break off easily. The . suckers may be fed to stock or they may be laid lengthwise of the row , close to the stalks so as not to in- , terfere with cultivation. A light application of fertilizer or nitrate of soda may be sown along the row . at this time with profit. Level cultivation is the ideal cultivation for field corn hut it is \ not exactly efficient and practical sweet corn. The main stalk is weakened by pulling the suckers, < and to overcome ' this weakness a < flat ridge should be thrown ' to the corn. The fertilizer is ' most accessible to the roots if ap- , plied after the suckers are pulled l and before the ridge is thrown up. 1 set of brace roots develop in ' this ridge. t THE ASPARAGUS BED t AFTER CUTTING j When the cutting season closes the asparagus bed should be thor- * oughly disc harrowed in all direp- t This will level down the old 1 1 I -luuo. 1 uw --ill ICICI uunu LUC U1U

[ ridges and tear all clumps of grass > or weeds to pieces. "» Any short [ stalks that may be harrowed out t can be picked up. washed, and sold i by the quart in strawberry boxes. Every ten days or two weeks the . cultivator should be run through i as close to the rows as the growth , of stalks will permit. When the lit- ; tie weeds get started in the rows ' between the stalks, a furrow may • be thrown against the stalks with ' a one-horse plow, from each side, , This may break a few stalks but ' will thoroughly clean the row by. ! covering the weeds. It is well to continne to cultivate the centers of the *row8 until the seed balls are turning red, when the stalks should ; be cut and burned on the field to destroy the millions of asparagus seed. The field should be disc harrowed again, the rows being left a j little higher than the middles to protect the roots from freezing. If there is any washjng, also, this method will insure its taking place between the rows rather than where the roots are. . LEGAL ADVERTISING Sheriffs sale

When she met her end she ' was steaming at 18 knots. Some L* thought that in her speed lay her f salvation — that a submarine which - could move at little more than F twelve knots at the surface and 1 still less below could hardly hope 1 to torpedo the fastest liner ever ■ built. Under ordinary circum- ' stances that belief might have been justified. But the Lusitania sped ! to her doom with the unwitting as- • sistance of the British Admiralty. Her course had been laid out for —

her — a course from which she was not allowed to swerve, and which had, no doubt, been carefully observed and plotted by watchful German submarines. No matter 1 how fast she was steaming it was a • mere matter of triagulation to dispatch her almost automatically. Her speed was known at least approximately; the position which ■ submarine must occupy in order ' to deliver a fatal blow could be fixed upon with fair certainty in that • constricted course; the moment when the deadliest torpedo yet devised should he released could be . estimated with some approach to mathematical nicety. No wonder speed had ceased to be an adequate protection. — . From "Torpedoes, ' The "Lusitania. ' and Naval Architecture," by Waldemar Kaempfin the American Review of for June. m- PARSER'S !
