Replying to an inquiring correspondent
the Southern Cpltipator says
As rule, increasing the number of
ears TO stalk works diminution in size.
II we had large cared variety of corr,
and wished to increase the yield II the
hand was rich enough to bear 1t, we
should increase the number of stalks
Usually. the land needs improvement
more than the corn Your plan for de
yeloping greater earliness Of maturity ~
good. The tassels of tue late variety
should be cut of as soon as they appear
and before any dust is shed FROM them
Another method Of fastening maturity is
to plant so late AZ Just to give the corn
time to harden its grain before frost, mot
time enough to get dry. The seed from
such corn planted year after year will es-
tRbiish an early habit. But this would
soon he lost, if the seed were planted
early in the spring and the whole long
season given it to mature. To render it
permanent, one would have TO plant a
special patch for seed corn every year,
planting late. This, by the way, is not q
bad plan, as it gives an opportunity to
cut out all imperfect or defective stalks
before their pollen has had an opportu-
nifty to impregnate other stalks and i'm
press their defects on them. In the case
of two ears to stalk it probably makes
little difference from which ear the seed
is taken. The lower ear liz in that case
the extra ear, but the disposition to shoot
two ears in place of one, belongs to the
whole plant, not to the lower ear alone
Experiments have shown quite clearly
thnt it makes no difference from whai
part Of the ear the seed is taken. pro
vided the grains are fully developed.

THEY BEGIN TO SEE TT.

The agitation over currency reform in
England is OF such nature rs to augur
well for the future OF silver in the United
Kingdom. Gradually the fact seems to
be commencing itself to the masses OF
the Old Country that silver is factor in
the monetary system OF the world which
has been too little appreciated. The fol-
lowing interesting telegram in this con-
nection came over the wires from london
yesterday:
The silver meeting at Manchester last
night is regarded as the beginning of seri-
Gus consideration of the currency question
in England. A plan for the restoration of
silver currency, prepared by number of
Liberal statesmen, is now in the hands of
the printers, and will be issued for general
circulation as soon as possible. The
main features of the scheme are these:
Soyereigns, if presented within six months
after the adoption of this plan, to he ex-
changed for pound notes at their nominal
value; after the expiration of the first six
months to be received only at their actual
value as abraded coin. The object in thus
fixing the value of the sovereign is to con-
tribute as far as possible toward checking
time to minimize the waste by friction in
the pockets of the people All silver offered
ut the mint for the purpose of coinage shall
be received at its gold price ON the day of its
presentation, and be.paid for in certificates
issued in various denominations of 600,
such certificate to be legal tender for ali
debts, public and private.

OA COOP MAN GONE. 6

John b. Cough, the man whose thrill
ing eloquencc rs an orator in the cause Of
temperance has made his name famous
all over two continents, breathed ,liis last
ut Philadelphia yesterday. Ills wasya
life we'll spentA-ievotetl to the grand
work OF bringing weak humanity ont from
under the spell Of a body rand soul-de-
stroying Influence. Would that the
world had more of such men in it.
Mr.. Cough was born in the pretty little
village OF SYNDICATE, Kent, on the 22d OF
August, 1917. In 1920 he came to New
York, and served part OF his time rs an
apprentice in book bindery.y UP to Oc-
tober, lS42, his habits were not those of
a model young man, and his acqhaint-
ances were wont to refer to him as a lad
who could stow away more grog, and the
next day wear smaller-sizel hat, than
any other youth on Manhattan Island. But
a glorious change came. Forsaking bad
company and turning aside from the wine
cup, at the age OF 20 he took. the total an
stinence pledge .lnd soon thereafter went
upon the platform In earnest advocacy of
the temperance cause, continuing his
labors therein almostup to the day OF his
death.
The writer well remembers the day,
twenty-five years ago, when this gifted
man appeare,iupon the lecture platform
in'his native village, and there, in words
OF burning eloquence, beseeched his
young hearers to forever keep from their
lips the poison that would steal away
their brains. The recollection OF that
address will linger in at least one mans
memory until the trump OF the white
winged messenger summonsshim hence.
John B. Coughs life was devoted to
the'feseue OF humanity from one OF the
greatest evils known to the civilized
world. Now let the rising generation
pay heed to his dying words-'sYoung
man, make your record clear"

WAS TT AN OUTRAGE

The Church prints are vigorously work.
ing their editorial bellows i'm an attempt
TO show that, in accepting the escort OF n
detail OF soldiers from Promontory TO
this city, on the occasion Of the arrest OF
George q. Cannon, Marshal Ireland was
guilty OF perpetrating a great outrage on
u "peaceable and law-abiding commun-
ity.'' The luminary Of the Herald says
that somebody having the right to do,
made Il requisiton upon the military
authorities for the use * of the
troops" Why, OF course That being
so, where does the outrage part Of the
business come in? II the party who
made the requstion upon the military
authorities for the use OF troops, had
legal right so to do, and the soldiers were
sent TO perform the work for which they
were called out, how can an Outrage" of
any kind have been committed by any
body at all connected with the affair?
Doubtless there are those who hold to
the opinion that it was unnecessary to
call upon the military authorities at ALL
Probably it was. But what are tho
soldiers here for, il not to respond to the
acquisitions made upon them by those
having the lawful right to COM
mand "a their services? Does the
fact that the officers returned
to this city with their prisoner without
being obliged to fall back upon the most
active assistance of the troops, make clear
that if the soldiers had not been there the
prisoner would have been brought
through just the same? Or does it prove
that an outrage is committed when, in the
judgment of an official having the right to
ask the assistance OF the military, the
presence of two dozen soldiers may have
a salutary effect upon somewhat excited
populace, and his requisition is honorcd
accordingly?
The way in which the Herald figures
the matter up makes the whole thing as
clear as mud, and makes everybody
awfully tired in trying to see through ii.
