SHRINKAGE OF WtfEAT.
Shall We SeU or Not Directly From the
Thrasher?
What is the gain In selling new wheat
from tbe thrashers at 75 cents over
keeping it four months and selling at 80
cents? In other words, what is the or
dinary shrinkage in wheat when kept
ander ordinary conditions? This query
was submitted for answer in The Rural
New Yorker. Among other replies oame
the following from L. W. Bonham of
Ohio. Mr. Bonham writes:
The first question involves more than
ordinary shrinkage. I have measured
wheat at the time of thrashing
again after it had been stored In
granary several months, but find that it
is very difficult to arrive at a satisfac
tory answer. The problem involves sev
eral factors, such as the degree of dry
ness of the grain, tightness of the
granary, the number of rats, mloe and
fowls that find aooess and so on. If
grain be abnormally dry when it is
thrashed and be held nntil spring with
out any loss from rats, mioe, fowls and
thieves, there will be little or no loss of
weight There may be a gain. If the
wheat be taken out daring a thaw,
when the air is warmer than the wheat
in the granary, every grain collects a'
little dampness, and by the time it has
been sacked and hauled to the soales the
increase in weight may be considerable.
Professor Brewer several years ago
reported for the. government the at
mospheric influences on wheat from tbe
time it left the thrasher to the time it
went into the hold of the vessel. This
report shows the condensation on the
grain as it runs ice cold from an eleva
tor of a warm day on the lake or ooean
coast to be several per cent. The in
crease in weight of a oarload of new
wheat from the ranch in California to
tbe port in San Francisco was enough
more than to pay the freight. This
factor of condensation will vary so
mnch between the time of thrashing in
August and selling in the spring that
the farmer needs more aoenrate means
of measuring and weighing for making
the test.
When tbe granary is so tight as "flo
protect againet any loss by vermin or
thieves, it is safe to const on taking ont
as many pounds in February or March
as we pat in in August or September.
The factor, however, that has concerned
me more is the labor. I bave sold from
the thrasher, hauliug direct to the ele
vator, add have stored it in tbe gTanary
and for a short time on the barn floor,
when 1 could not get teams enough to
haul to the elevator as fast as it was
tbrasbed. Keeping an accurate account
of tbe cost of tbe two methods, I have
oonclnded that there is a saving in la
bor of 6 cents a tusbel by hauling at
onoe to tbe elevator. If it should hap
pen that tbe wind, rats, fowls or men
from neglect caascd tbe grain to get so
dirty in balk as to need cleaning with
a fanning mill, then the cost is in
creased 1 or 2 cents. Unless one is sure
of more than 6 cents' advanoe il is bet
ter to haul the grain to market as it
comes from tbe thrasher, when we
thrash from tbe shock or stack. If the
grain is thrashed in tho barn, tbe labor
of sacking, loading and hauling the
thrashed grain from stack or field is
saved and there is less gained by haul
ing direct from tbe machine to market
and
the
The Campbell System.
In the seminrid region of Kansan and
Nebraska teats are now being made in
thorough tillage as a substitute for irri
gation. The work is being done under
the Campbell system, adapted by W. H.
Campbell of Iowa. The process begins
with a thorough pulverizing of tbe sur
face for three or four inohes with a
disk harrow. Tbe land is then plowed
eight inches deep, tbe fine snrfaoe soil
being turned to tbe bottom of the far
row. After this comes tbe "surface
packer," a tool packing tbe lower sub
soil firmly, leaving tbe surface loose.
After this a drag makes the sarfaoe per
fectly smooth. Corn is planted with a
check rower, and such small grains as
wheat and oats are drilled 90 inches
apart. Tbe crops are cultivated at least
once a week to a depth of two inches,
forming a match of loose earth. Some
of tbe western railroads are trying this
system on model farms, considering
that, when properly carried out, it will
add to the value of farm landa In this
connection Rural New Yorker says:
Many farmers, not alone in the arid
west, scarcely realize bow much is add
ed to tbe fertility of tbe land by con
stant tillage.. It will oertainly be a
necessary complement to irrigation.
NITRATE OF SODA.
tymts of sods is s spring tonie stad
it has nutritive qualities also. It is es
sentially a foliage and plant producer
and should be used in tbe early p4irt of
the mason. I would not urn it to finish
off a crop, aa I do oarn to finish off pork.
For the development of fruit or seed as
mature wood, potash and phosphorio
acid are also required. But to stimulate
a dark green, luxuriant growth in tbe
spring, nothing equals nitrate of soda.
Thus writes a Connecticut farmer to The
New England Homestead. Following
are additional extracts from bis letter:
Ni
It is the practice of un extensive

P<
-
his meadows heavily with farm man tire
every other year. In the off year he
sows 160 pounds of nitrate of soda per
acre. In this way, without plowing, he
maintains a high state of fertility on
his natural grass land. To sow more
than the above amount, he says, would
be a waste, as the grass cannot take it
up and it leaches away.
Leaobing bos to be guarded against,
the nitrate of soda being very soluble.
It is not advisable, therefore, to sow it in
the falL The spring is the safe time, as
then the plants are ready to work upon
it It is one of the principles of fertiliser
makers, I believe, when compounding a
nitrogenous fertilizer which is to be
lasting through the season, to use both
nitrate of soda and some organio form
of nitrogen, like blood or cottonseed
meal, as sources of nitrogen. The nitrate
of soda is ready to feed the plant at onoe
in the cool early days, while the nitro
gen of the blood, oottonseed meal or'the
like remains unacted upon until the
heat of warmer weather begins its de
composition.
A good form of grass fertiliser is 400
pounds of bone and potash applied in
the fall and 150 pounds of nitrate of soda
in the spring. Another good author
ity recommends 50 pounds of muriate
of potash and 300 pounds of bone in the
fall and 50 pounds of nitrate of soda in
the spring. The latter formula seems
rather light, but would be a great im
provement over waiting for meadows to
run out before replenishing the plant
food. Nitrate of soda must not be used
alone year after year, as it will exhaust
the potash and phosphoric acid and. de
stroy the soil balance. On the grain
crops nitrate of soda is a valuable
spring starter. However, unless the
soil were rich in phosphoric acid and
potash we should expect a poor yield of
grain, although the straw might grow
rank enough to lodge.
From what has been said above its
right use upon vegetables may be de
duced. It is an excellent stimula?it for
early growth, but does not con'niu the
necessary ingredients for maturing a
crop later in the season.

Bisulphide of Carbon.
Since bisulphide of carbon is being so
commonly used for tbe protection of all
grains which are liable to attacks from
weevils in storage, it becomes an impor
tant question to know what effect tbe bi
sulphide bas on the get minuting power
of tbe grains. Tbe division of botany of
tbe department of agriculture bas made
a large number cf experiments with dif
feront varieties of grain and vegetables,
of cotton, pens, Indian coin, rices, com
mon garden beans, Kaffir corn, barley,
wheat and cats. The general conclusion
from the experiments was tbat there
was no appreciable difference in tbe
vitality of wheat, corn, barley or rye,
between seed tbat bad bec-n treated aDd
tbat which was untreated, when tbe
seed wr.s treated in bulk for 24 hours at
tbe rate of a pound of tbe chemical to
100 bushels of the grain. Generally tbe
seeds of cotton, peas, beans, buckwheat,
oats and tbe cabbage family and cow
peas will endure very severe treatment
with the fumes of carbon bisulphide
without injury to tbeir germination to
any appreciable extent. On the other
band, com, wheat, rye and other crops
belonging to the grass family, except
Kaffir coin and oats, should be treated
with caution, as serious deterioration in
vitality is likely to result from excessive
exposure to the gas.
MARKETING THE HONEY.
A Chicago Dealer'» Advice — Cultivating
— Marke*.
The work now will be a disposition
of the honey crop. With a view to as
listing to satisfactory returns The
American Bee Journal interviewed one
of the largest Chicago honey dealers on
the marketing of a large honey crop.
Following in brief is what this honey
dealer said:
Don't rush your honey into a market
already well supplied and thus help to
lower prioea for yourself as well aa
those who will ship after you da Here
is a good rule to follow: Never ship
honey to a dealer without first writing
him as to the oondition of the market
and for some idea as to what prioe may
be realized. Find out whether or not
your honey is wanted at all in a certain
market. We have actually known bee.
keepers to ship their honey to a com
mission man who was overloaded with
out first writing and then expect to re
alize the top price.
Investigate several markets before
shipping and find out where yon can
likely do the best. We think, if the bee
keepers are a little careful and don't
get in too big a hurry to realise on
tbeir honey all at onoe, even though the
crop is large, a fairly good prioe will be
secured. But if yon can anywhere get
12 or more cents per ponnd net for yonr
white comb honey and 6 or 7 cent» for
extracted in a wholesale way we would
say, "Take it quick"-—that is, if we
were going to advise yon. But, under
stand, we are not advising about that
at all. Each must do as he thinks best
Following is the editor's advice on
the subject of the home market: Culti
vating the home market will pay this
year in many localities. The large city
honey markets will be relieved of any
glut just in proportion as a large or
small amount of the crop is distributed
in the home or local market Remem
ber it is ever so much better to take a
lea» prioe for yonr honey near home—
and get that price—than to ahip it
away to an overloaded market and per
haps be compelled to take little or noth
ing for it after paying freight charges,

Bonding Corncrlbs.
Building corn crib* is now in order,
and a leaf from the experience of a
farmer who baa built many crib* may
prove of value. A correspondent at Prai
rie Farmer »ays: A crib should be at
least a foot from the ground, so tbe cat*
can have a chance to get at the rats and
mioe. Whether you keep dog* and oat*
or not, the vermin will not trouble half
as bad if the crib rota well np from the
ground. If you build a crib, be thorough
aa far as yon go. Yon may not build
expensive ones unies* you choose, but
they must be solid to be durable. Aoarn
crib must have some kind of a founda
tion that will not settle. Then put on
three 6 by 0 sills lengthwise. On these
lay 9 by 6 floor simpers two feet apart.
For studding use nothing less tban 9 by
8, two feet apart. Them must be wired.
Put the wirm on loom and the oom will
tighten them all right. The studding
should be 10 feet on the low side sad 19
on the other will be right unless you
are building a doable crib. In a moist
oountrys crib 8 feet wide is right Hero
we have them 10 or 19 wide. Have tbe
rafters 9 by 4 and oover with board*

Experiments have been curried on at
throe oentral points for them suooessive
years under tbe auspices of the Hatch
Massachusetts station und the Vulley
Tobuoco Experiment association. A bul
letin issued from the Hatch station
makes it appear that fertiliser! affect
tbe quality much moro than tbe quanti
ty of the ertp. Mineral fertilizers con
taining much kalt make tobacco burn
poorly: Cottonseed hull ashes and high
grade sulphate of potash have been the
most satisfactory potash fertilizers used.
A good acid phosphate is satisfactory
for phosphorio acid. Cottonseed meal,
linseed meal and castor bean pomace are
about equally good sources of nitrogen,
but one-fourth of the nitrogen used
should be in the form of nitrate of soda.
If barn yard manure is used, it must be
well rotted and must be supplemented
by acid phosphate and ashes or sulphate
of potash, to balance its excess of nitro
cm
HARVESTING GRAIN.
The flirt requisite in the successful
management at the grain harvest is to
have the latest improved binder and
then to keep it in good running order.
Next in importance to a good binder is
a strong, steady team. An Indiana
fanner who gives preference to a span
of 1,800 ponnd mules for this work ex
plains his methods as follows in The
American Agriculturist:
In cutting a field of grain it is usual
ly best to go around it all. If ycm have
to divide a field, let it be the long way
if possible; then the turning at the cor
ners will not be increased. This is an
important item, as the turning is the
hardest labor the team has to perform.
It does not pay to use anything but the
very best of twine.
It is very Important - that grain be
well shocked. If grain is thrashed from
the shook, as I always prefer it,
shocks that stand up well give fine, dry
marketable grain, hut if they are tom
badly it gives the grain a musty smell,
as the sheaves are always more or less
wet and rotting. I am never particular
about getting a certain number of
sheaves in a shock, bat set up enough
to give a good, stout shock that will
stand np against any ordinary wind,
and then put on two buddies.
I begin cutting wheat when the grain
has just passed through its dongh state
and the straw has tamed to a rich gold
en color. I think early cut wheat is
heavier, makes whiter and sweeter
floor than that which is allowed to
stand until fully ripe, and grain does
not shell ont so badly in handling.
Where there is a market for the straw,
the early cutting is again preferable, as
it has less dnst in it, sells better and
also makes better feed for cattle, if to
be used upon the farm.
The oat crop is more difficult to save
than wheat When sheaf oats are want
ed, the best plan is to use the old cra
dle and swathe down to cure, as in the
old days, but I think it best to sacrifice
a little in point of quality of grain in
order to save time and labor. So the
oats are allowed to stand nntil the
straw is diy enough to bind as cut and
not mold. Oats are also tbrasbed from
the shock, as it never pays to try to
keep them in the sheaf for feeding.
My wheat is thrashed from the shock.
I want to get through the harvest qniok
ly and with the least possibio expense,
and it always takes extra labor to put
wheat in tbe barn or stack it Besides
I prefer to have the straw in tbe {tarn
in preference to tbe wheat. I employ
thrashers tbat run a full force of bands
and board themselves. A force of this
kind can rnsb tbe work along faster
and cheaper than I can employ and
board them, and tbus tbe thrashing
time is no longer dreaded in well reg
ulated households. Some extra team
work is needed to get in tbe wheat, but
only for a day or two, and I can usu
ally swap work of this kind with a
neighbor. I find tbat it is easier to re
set tbe maebine occasionally than it is
td haul the grain any considerable dis
tance.
I market my wheat crop from tbe
maebine. I find my buyer before thrash
ing begins. There is a great loss in
wastage and shrinkage when tbe farmer
stores bis grain, either at home or in
the elevator, that I don't think is ever
made np in advance of price, taking
one year with another.
