A SANITARY REFRIGERATOR
Stop and consider a moipent. Is there anythiug you use about the
home of more importance than your refrigerator? Into it goes, for
preservation, a large portion of the food you eat. Suppose your re-
frigerator does not properly preserve—that it isn’t perfectly dry -that
it hasn’t a cold interior. Such conditions breed disease, and such is
the case in a cheap, poorly made refrigerator.
The “Leonard” is not that sort—it preserves perfectly.

treatments. Such a type may be ad-
justed readily and can be set Bo as to
cultivate the sides of the furrows
with little danger of covering the
corn.—A. and M. Experiment Sta-
tion.
Cultivation of Corn
Indian corn Is a crop that requires
thorough cultivation. The ground
should not only he well prepared be-
fore the need Ih planted, but the sub-
sequent cultivation should also be In-
tensive. Even before the young shoots
are In sight the first operation can be
performed. An ordinary smoothing
harrow Is well suited for this first
treatment and It may frequently be
used until the plants are two or three
Inches high. I.lsted corn Is especially
well situated for harrowing. Such cul-
tivation gradually works down the
ridges, tills the furrows and thereby
keeps the weeds in check. A loose
mulch Is maintained at the same
time. This pulverized condition of the
surfnee preventa rapid Iohs of mois-
ture and may mean much to the corn
growers of Oklahoma. As hooii as the
plants are two or three inches high
the cultivator should be started. The
first cultivation may be comparative-
ly deep If desired, but later In tho
season It should lie reasonably shal-
low. The corn plant like other mem-
bers of tho grass family sends out
a large number of fibrous roots which
run close to the surface. Some In-
vestigational work has been done to
ascertain the depth to which corn
roots penetrate the soil; studies have
also been made concerning their lat-
eral development. The results of
these tests show that by far the larg-
er per cent of the roots Is found with-
in the first twelve Inches of soil und
they are exceedingly abundant within
four inches from the surface. The
shovels should thorefore be regulat-
ed so that the uppermost muss of
roots niuy remain undisturbed. The
roots of young corn grow much fast-
er than the top and long before the
plant Is six Inches high tho lateral
branches extend bulf way across the
row. It is these first roots that come
nearest to the surface. If they are
broken the food supply of the plant
will be reduced and growth may be
checked. The conclusion Is self-evi-
dent. Cultivate thi‘ corn Bhallow, two
ami one-half to three lndhea is deep
enough, and do not get too close to the
plants. After cultivation hns once
begun It should be continued through
the growing seuson at intervals of
ten days or two weeks, and any hea-
vy rains which may occur during the
season should be followed up with a
repetition of the work In order to pre-
vent the formation of a crust. A
compact condition of the surface is
ideal for the evaporation of soil
moisture and as cultivation puts a
check on this upward movement
such a plan should be adopted by ev-
ery corn grower. During the lutter
part of the growing season the weath-
er Is frequently dry and It is at this
part of Its growth that the plant re-
quires the largest amount of mois-
ture. Cultivation should not cense be-
cause the corn Is too lull to be plow-
ed with an ordinary two-horse Im-
plement, but the grower should pro-
vide himself with a single flve-tooth
cultivator and should continue the
work with one horse until the corn
has almost matured. Whether the
field has been listed or surface plant-
ed cultivation should be such as to
keep the ground level. Ridging is a
bad practice for ns we have already
ludlcated corn roots develop only
a short distance from the surface;
thus by throwing up a ridge next to
the stalks the roots between the rows
are uncovered and are left exposed to
the sun. A machine which carries six
shovels on each section will do more
satisfactory work than one with two
large shovels. The disk cultivator can
bo used for the first two or three
