BUSINESS BITS. 
We know of no farm Implement that has 
worked its way faster or more secureiy in 
general favor than the low-down wagons. 
The longer one has them the more uses 
he finds for them. They simply save labor 
for man in loading and unloading, and 
their broad tires makes draft lighter for 
the team. We are just in receipt of a 
nicely illustrated catalogue of the Electric 
Wheel Company, Quincy, Ill., showing 
many of the uses to which the low-down 
wagons are put, and something of the con¬ 
struction of their particular make. It will 
be sent you free, if you care to see it, and 
are interested in it. 
Probably the most remarkable advance 
of late years in agricultural practice is 
the increased feeding value lately given to 
the cornstalk. It has long been known 
that the stalk contained nearly or quite 
as much nutriment as the ear, but it has 
been impossible to utilize it. Machines for 
harvesting, fining and baling the stalk 
were needed before its great value could 
be realized. Now the McCormick corn 
harvesters and huskers and shredders have 
solved the problem, and surely made corn 
the king of grains. It always was in 
beauty, and now it is in economy. “King 
Corn” is the suggestive name of a pam¬ 
phlet sent free by the McCormick Harvest¬ 
ing Machine Co., Cliicago, Ill. 
From now on to the end of September 
visitors to the Pan-American Exposition 
at Buffalo may see one of the 1901 Oliio 
self-feed silage cutters and new metal 
backed swivel carriers at work. It is used 
to cut green cornstalks for the different 
bleeds of cows that are there under of¬ 
ficial test. About the middle of September 
a new Ohio Monarch self-feed ensilage 
cutter and new direct blast blower eleva¬ 
tor will be used to fill a Green Mountain 
silo at the same place. These machines 
are both new, and this will give those who 
expect to attend the Exposition an ex¬ 
cellent opportunity to witness and examine 
these machines and see them running 
under actual conditions, and this has 
special reference to the 1901 Ohio Monarch 
and blower elevator, inasmuch as this is 
its first season. These machines are made 
by the Silver Mfg. Co., Salem, Ohio, and 
the superintendent on the grounds w'ill ex¬ 
plain anything in reference to their work. 
Alfalfa in Western New York. 
I would seed in the Spring alone if pos¬ 
sible. Prepare the ground thoroughly as 
for oats, and seed early. Keep the w’eeds 
down by running the mowing machine over 
the ground from time to time as needed, 
the first year. Alfalfa is a success here 
in western New York. My plot of live 
acres, seeded in the Spring of 1900, has cut 
two crops thus far this reason, and is good 
for one more. The stand was not a good 
one owing to the dry season of 1900, but 
the crop improves with good care and is 
making a good showing for itself. 1 shall 
seed another 10 acres to Alfalfa as soon 
as the piece can be made ready. I am 
heartily in favor of it. See that the ground 
is well prepared and moderately rich. 
Then sow from 15 to 20 pounds of seed to 
the acre with a seeder, and after the lirst 
season, from three to four crops can be 
cut each year of the best kind of hay. 
Stock eat it freely. m. st. j.

Bordeaux on Potatoes.—I did not use 
Bordeaux Mixture this year; have used it 
a number of times in years past, and found 
that it paid about one time in 10. Other 
growers that have used it have come to 
about the same conclusion, and but very 
little spraying for blight is now done in 
this section. Almost every farmer has a 
spraying outfit run by sprocket chain with 
two horses, and could easily use Bordeaux 
Mixture with his Paris-green if he wished. 
I think the potatoe crop of this section 
will be short next Fall on account of 
drought, and the terrific heat. The Rural 
New Yorker is the only variety, and I 
might say the only green plant, that has 
not wilted and in most cases dried up, dur¬ 
ing the past three weeks of 96 to 106 de¬ 
grees of temperature. The Carmans are 
wilting badly every day, but revive some¬ 
what during the night. e. h. currier.

by any other way. Pull directions ac¬

$1, or for two new yearly subscriptions

ietz JUNIOR Lantern Blast. 
For Kerosene. 
A little smaller than the usual “Blizzard” Lantern, to supply 
a demand for a handy tubular lantern that shall give a good, full 
light and stay alight in any wind. But 12 in. high; weighs 2b_oz., 
and holds enough oil for 13 hours continuous use. You fill, Iignt 
and regulate the Junior without removing the globe, as thelittle 
lever at the side raises the globe to light, and locks the globe 
down on the burner. It is made with a round top oil pot, ana is 
the handsomest tubular lantern made and absolutely safe. 
Ask your dealer for Dietz Junior. If he hasn’t it or won t get 
it, send us $1. and we will send you one all charges prepaid, safe 
delivery guaranteed. That illustrated Catalogue of ours will be sent you 
free on request. p g DIETZ COMPANY,
