EDITOR TRIBUNE:-
Seeding of small grain is now almost
finished and the time for planting near
at hand. | take the present opportu-
uity to advance few suggestions in
regard to planting corn, which has
been somewhat neglected in this coun-
ty in the past. But as it has been
raised successfully by several farmers
for the past four years, it is now
known to be, if properly handled, a
sure crop. Those who have tried it in
very small quantities and did not care
much how it turned ont, have planted
it on low wet land or let the birds get
it as soon as it was up, have made UP
their minds that it is not worth the
trouble of trying to raise it, while if
they try new plan they will find out
that it can be raised all right, and
now that most farmers are inclined to
go into stock more or less, corn will be
the most profitable feed on the farm.
If you select a piece of nice dry ground
not too old and full of weeds, but new
land, plow it well as soon as it is
thoroughly dry (for blowing corn land
wet is apt to make it hard and lumpy)
mark it both ways, and as soon as the
corn is out of the ground, harrow it all
over. This is hard to do for those that
have not tried it; it looks as if one
would pull it all out, but shut your
eyes and go ahead, you can do it easy.
AS soon as you can see the corn, Guilt
vate it, going through first one way
and then the other. Do not let the
weeds start and you are all right.
Cultivate for the last time just be-
fore harvest, and do not touch it after,
for the later you work the ground the
longer the corn will keep growing and
the frost may catch it before it is ripe.
Get seed if possible that has been
raised in this vicinity, and next fall
save seed yourself, also each succeed
ing year, and you will see that alter
few years your corn will be acclimated
and riDen earlier.

THE GIGANTIC FIG TREE OF INDIA.

THE GIGANTIC FIG TREE OF INDIA
The majestic and mighty banyan fig
tree lords it oRer the vegetable world of
Asia. No other tree ever measured
1.-THE of five acres in the ground inclosed
by the circumference of its branches,
nor afforded shelter from the sun at one
time to thousand men. Under its vast
shadows one may stroll leisurely for
hours along avenues and footpaths Dor
dered by Towering shrubs and cooled by
gurgling streamlets. There is banyan
in Ceylon which measures 1900 feet
around the branches more than quar-
ter of mile.
Under the shade of still larger tree
on the banks of the Merbudda, in India,
which measures circuit Of 1920 feet,
whose large trunks number 354, whose
small ones exceed 5000, and whose foli-
age makes home for thousands of birds
and monkeys, the chief of Putnah used
to encamp in magnificent style. Hare
he would entertain his guests on Iii
tiger-hunting expeditions. Separate
tents were gorgeously fitted up rs led
chambers, and each guest having one
had three servants at his command. Sa-
looms, drawing rooms, dining rooms,
smoking rooms, kitchens-all were per-
fectly appointed. Including all the an
imals and servants, there were 1900 in
dividuals in the retinue, yet the great
banyan easily sheltered them all. Here,
when the glow and flush of the fierce
sun had given way to the cool dews of
evening, the guests of the Oriental
Prince slipped their sherbet or cham
payne, and watched the movements of
the dancing girls, while the monkeys
chartered and the night birds sang in
the LEAKAGE above, and the pale moon
shine glinted down through the open
ings in the vast roof.
When the banyan first springs up its
method of growth is normal, and during
the first century of its life, indeed, it
shows no disposition to do anything &c
centric. But when the great branches
of the tree have reached such height
that they can no longer support their
weight horizontally, the ends begin to
bend downward, and they lower from
the tips one or more roots, which, en-
tering the ground, send forth rootlets,
and themselves become fresh stems. So
at last the horizontal branches, once in
danger of breaking by their own weight,
are as easily supported by the pillars as
bridge by it's piers. So the process
goes on for ages till the grand tree COW
ers its acres of ground. Lateral branch
es shoot out from the main limbs, while
the latter are constantly growing until
they reach gigantic size. These lateral
branches also put down stems and shoot
out branchlets, until it comes to pass
that, instead of one tree, there is mar.
velous colonnade Of stems supporting as
many natural rafters, on which repose
dense masses of foliage.
Such Is the gigantic fig tree of India,
truly one of the wonders of the world

Minneapolis is endeavoring to enact
a building law which will prevent the
erection of unsafe buildings. The
appointment of a building inspector
with police powers authorized to stop
work on buildings which are being
improperly constructed, and to whom
all plans and specificatio rs for build
ings must be submitted for approval,
guided by set of scientific and in
diligently constructed rules would be
a very efficient safeguard against the
greed of contractors who, for the sake
of saving few dollars, would not
hesitate before putting work in build
ing that would not bear inspection.

The Paper Collar.

Didn't anybody ever notice how
quickly the paper collar dropped out
of sight: 1t is not so many wears
ago when the paper collar held a
mighty sway, except in the summer,
when the heat made it soft in the back
OF the neck and caused the corners
under the chin to turn out and assume
Il brownish hue. 1t was in general
demand, and the thirteen and one. half
neck man and the seventeen and one
half neck man alike carried IA fifteen
or twenty cent box homo under his
arm rejoicing. There were several
large factories employing numerous
hands, and not only clothing and dry
goods, but cigar and grocery stores,
kept them. You conld get paper or
llnenhnish just as you called for it.
and you weren't at any expense for
laundrying. II man was little
hard up for cash and the weather was
any way fine he could turn his collar
inside out. But those days are gone.
the factories are gone, and nearly all
the paper collars are gone. We
rarely see them now except in auction
stores or on some country dandy who
comes to town with white band
around his neck over a check shirt.
Cheap linen and laundrying have
driven the paper collar to the WALL
Elk.
