We commence blowing the latter part OF
March or the first of April, using sixteen
inch or fourteen-inch plow for two horses.
There is no need Of blowing more than four
inches deep. When we get through blowing
we are ready to go to planting. Don't have
to harrow, drag roll and mark off the ground,
but go to work with two-hOrse drill, which
drops the corn, one grain in place, ten OF
twelve inches apart. Just as the corn Is
coming up we give it good narrowing
Some, however, never touch it until it II

first blowing, and it pays to do it well, i
only three or four acres is cultivated per day
Our aim is to not leave weed the first pillow
ing Three plowings ere all we ever get to
give it, and very frequently it is laid by the
second, for it keeps fellow busy togive forty or
sixty acres of corn three good plowings before
it gets too large to pillow. Forty-iive acres OF
corn is an average crop here for one team
some cultivate as high as eighty,
Some time in August we so over our corn
with the hoes and cut all the weeds out we
can find If this is practiced year after year
it will require one-half less cultivating tC
keep down the weeds.

of corn to the acre, planted and cultivated as

Here is The result of the experiments of Pro
fessor ". G. Latta, of Purdue university, in
gathering seed corn. 1t will be well worth
bearing in mind next fail, when the corn Is
ripening. Professor Latta writes:
Every year our farmers suffer great loss
from defective seed coma loss which is just
as unnecessary a. it is great. We may some
times console ourselves with the thought that
we have done all we could, and that our mis-
fortunes are the result of causes beyond our
control. Not so m the case Of poor seed
corn, for it is the result Of ignorance or care
lcssne,s Now that many farmers are facing
the unpleasant prospect of having to buy seed
corn at a good round price, it may be an
opportune time to call attention to the fact
that it is not only possible, but easy, for every
farmer to produce his own seed corn. The
secret of success lies in gathering the corn
early enough to get it well dried before severe
freezing weather comes, The corn may be
gathered very carly-cyen in the roasting
ear" stage; and if it is hung up in Il dry
room, or loft, in which the air can circulate
freely, it viii cure and grow with certainty.

Look on your map and find New Guinea.
You will see that it is great island lying or
the northeast coast of Australia. It is larger
than the state of Texas, containing an area OF
800, 900 square miles. 1t is $50 miles from
Australia. Another pane for the island Is
Papua, and tae people are called Papuans.
They are tho least known of any race upon
the globe They are negroes, but there are ut
least two races of these--a light and dark.
They have fiat noses, and their hair is frzzled
out around their heads in great brush The
women cut their hair Off short.
The men hunt and fish while the women do
all the heaviest work, such as raising corn
and cutting wood.
One curious fashion these people have Is
that of building their houses III trees They
are built of long grass supported by frames.
The thick grass keeps all rain out. They get
into these queer houses by means of ladders.
Once up there, nobody can modest or attack
them very easily The houses are built as
places of safety in time of war or against
robbers. But if the enemy should set fire To
the tree then down would come tumbling
houses people and all Those that were not
burned would be strangeu with smoke
New Guinea or Papa is very fertile
country. All the rich fruits and luxuriant
vegetables of tropical countries, such as ba-
nanas, oranges, lemons, bread fruit and
cocoanutS grow in the greatest abundance.
The country is believed to be very rich in

The Hne animal in the picture was the
favorite saddle horse of the late king OF
Bavaria There are six distinct families of
horses in Arabia and the pedigree of some of
them runs back Enthusiastically for 800 years.
They come of old families.
These are the horses for swiftness and en-
durance. They are not draught horses, but
in the two qualities named they excel all
other breeds in the world. They have deli
cate necks and fine, small, straight limbs,
flashing eyes and a strong, flowing name and
tail They are not large, l514 hands being an
unusual height. The back is not arched
much the tail is high set, and the hoofs are
always small, black, and very tough. Cen
turtles of pounding over the sands of the
desert have made them So They have small
ears and powerful chest, from which they
get their great endurance. They are distin-
guished for soundness of wind and limb,
though their hiGh-bred, far-otf cousin, the

dust on the barn floor, then ten bushels OF
blue grass seed. then another layer Of saw

all used up | then tool; "a rake and mixed it
thoroughly When done mixing | shoYeled
all into the wagon and drove to the field and
went to work sowing, taking as much in my
hand at time a, my hand would hold of the
sawdust and blue grass seed and spread it
like sowing oats by hand, aiming 10 put two
bushels of seed to the acre, or at least a
hllshel and a half to the acre.
The advantage of using sawdust over dirt
to mix with is, first, it is much lighter to
carry, and the sawdust being about the same
buovancv as the blue grass seed, the seed
would stick to the sawdust, which gave be-
ter spread of the seed The objection to sow
ing dirt besides the weight was that when
YOU throw your handful out to spread it, the
dirt, being much heavier than the blue grass
seed would spread Off by itself and not carry
the seed along with it,
Should you not get the amount of seed you

is not particular, but to begin with, as an cX-
pertinent, would advise TO take three bushels
of sawduSt and mix twenty-One pounds OF
blue grass seed with it, then measure off an
acre as near as YOU can and try how evenly
you can spread the three bushels of sawdust

tain of Norwegian ba k, who came across
an iceberg full of seas, The weather had
been worry foggy and the vessel was moving
along with short canvas, when suddenly a
mountain of ice ioomed up and the bark
drifted toward it,
The berg was rs clear as crystal with the
exception of great dark mass in the center,
while from cleft in the side Il small column
of vapor arose When the vessel approached
to within reasonable distance of the berg,
it was discovered that the black mass in the
center consisted of live seals
