A Timely Article fer Farmers 10 Com

From the statistics of Minnesota we
learn that the acreage Of corn in Blue
Earth county last year was 10, $50 against
1924 acres in 1873, an increase Of 1856
acres. The average yield in this county
in 1872 was 1927 bushels, and in 1873,
32.77 bushels. The estimated yield Of
1874 is not stated, but it was manifestly
better than the preceding year. Taking,
however, the average yield Of 1873 as a
basis, the corn crop has paid much
greater profit per acre than the wheat
crop. Corn to day is worth 81 cents, and
tho value per acre is $l8.57. On the
other hand the average yield Of
wheat per acre in 1873 was 1917 bushels.
while in 1874 it was probably very lit.
tie larger, say not more than Is bushels,
which at the ruling price to-day, 65 cents
for No. 2, will only realize 1915 per acre
very little more than one.half the value
of the corn crop. Another important
consideration is that to purchase seed for
an acre of wheat will cost $l.30, while for
an acre Of corn it will not exceed 25 or at
most 30 cents. The farmer who grows
corn generally manages to put his crop
into hogs, cattle or poultry, and thus
receives an additional profit. These
figures are worth considering. and if
farmers will only grow more corn and
less wheat, We predict that the good time
$50 long looked for, will be realized.

The West Point ACADEMY.

riding and fencing are so happily inter-

application" is unknown. As its name
implies, the Military Academy is natural
ly supposed to be merely military train

eighteenth Of the whole course of study
is devoted to purely military subjects.
No school except it be the French

Military accuracy in all things proba'

Thorough tests of progress, than can be
attained by other colleges. And spur
to thoroughness, unknown in other insti

Thus, while it is true that the youth ol
