WHAT POOR sEEp-CoRN COSTS.


AS supplementary to what the Tri-
bune had to say short time ago on the
subject of the proper saving of seed
corn, the following will be interesting.
In the aggregate the figures are rather
startling, even as applying only to the
single State of Ohio. The botanist of
the experiment station of that State,
Prof. Daval, upon the cost arising from
poor seed-corn says:
In 1884 there were 100000 acres
planted to corn i'm the State of Ohio. As
Stunning five quarts of seed to be required
per acre, it would require 10000 bush
els of seed-corn. If only per cent fail
ed to terminate there is loss of 10000
bushels, worth over $4,000. But this is
not the actual loss, for farmers usually
plant 10 per cent more seed than they
would if it was known to be all sound.
Then we must remember that seed-corn
usually sells for double the price of ordi-
nary corn. so the actual loss is not less
than $780, 900 i'm Ohio alone
Individual farmers may argue that
the cost per capita is too Insignificant to
be taken into account. Here is where
~ VII III upoh
loss. These little savings are clear profit
lnattention to these would swamp any
merchant or manufacturer, and the rule
holds good with the farmer. 1t is not
the gross receipts but the difference be-
tween these and the cost of production
that tells. But to figure little further:
A seed that is not strong in its germina-
tive power produces a weak plant.
Hence, bad seed may reduce the yield of
corn all the way up to ten bushels per
acre. Suppose from bad termination a
portion of the field has to be planted
over, the crop from So per acre up, and
reduce the crop in addition, perhaps.
ten bushels per acre Right here is
probably why the average yield of corn
of the whole country is only twenty
seven bushels per acre when it should
be forty. This and the added cost of
cultivation and poor ultimate stand
will at least form large integer in re-
ducing the average yield. 1t will pay
every farmer to save seed-corn sure to
terminate. Before hard freezing wealth
er in autumn is the time to do so, what
ever it may cost. The surplus may be
sold for never less than dollar per
bushel. Chicago Tribune.

The Latest About Carlotta.

The news from Tervueren reports a
painful scene which took place at the
chateau where the widow of the unfor-
tunate Macmillan resides. The en-
tourage of the Empress Carlotta seek by
every possible means TO keep her atten-
ton engaged and her mind busy. One
of the means most frequently employed
is to have pile of newspapers under
her eyes. The other day somebody of
the household unfortunately placed in
her work basket a journal containing a
notice of "Juarez," drama by M.
Gassier. The ex-Empress took up the
journal and glanced at it with her won't
ed indifference, but all ut once her eyes
sparkled and she shricked, 'Juarez!
Juarez! Look at them together-Max-
milan, Juarcz, Bazaine. Quick! Quick!
| want to save my husband"
The women-in-waiting and the physi-
clans to Her Majesty rushed i'm and
ried to calm her, but she would not be
comforted She wanted her trunks
packed ut once to 90 and save her hus-
band before he would be shot. The
trunks were packed and she was told
that special train had been ordered.
The Empress wished to start at once,
but by much persuasion consented TO
take cup of coffee before going on the
special train" A potion was Stealth
ly infused into the coffee by one of the
physicians and the Empress at once
dropped to sleep. She did not wake
till the following morning, when she
had forgotten all about the affair, and
she has not talked of her husband
| since. - BrusSelS Letter TO Paris Figaro.

COMMON HORSE BREEDING.

The more l see of this wide world,
writes horseman who understands his
business. the more astonished l am that
so many men are found trying to make
little money by raising colts without
any knowledge of breeding, without
any familiarity with the history of the
great families of horses, without any
knowledge of the performances of
horses. and without any turf journal to
give them the information they require.
A man might just as well try to be a
preacher without Bible. l some times
ago met a well-to-do farmer, owner of
four good-looking mares, who does not
know the breeding of them. He argued
good humoredly, and said he could raise
Just as good stock without a pedigree,
and it was hard to prove to him that he
was wrong. He takes considerable
credit upon himself for the shrewdness
of his views. He reads no breeding or
turf journals He breeds his mares to
the lowest stud-fees, and in three years
his colts are actually not worth raising.
Colts of the same mares might be valu-
BILE If the mares were sent to a we'll
bred stallion, representative of the best
families. This man has reputation
in his town, and thinks he is a shrewd
breeder, but, to show that he is not
shrewd in breeding, in year or so he
will see some right-minded breeder sell
his colts, which have been carefully
bred at yearlings. for $500, while he
will not receive more than $50 or $50
for his yearlings, the produce of the
common and cheap horse.

Bargains in Real Estate.
The Time to Invest in Valuable Prop
Grty in a Prosperous City is Now.
A Few Points Worthy Thought.
full Consideration

Advantageous investments i'm city real
estate are only made in prosperous and
growing cities, and more particularly i'm
cities which possess natural resources
through which men of energy and cap
Ital are offered opportunities for estab-
fishing factories of various kinds. Such
a city is MankatO, with her inexhaus-
table stone quarrses, cement stone, clay,
suitable not only for building brick but
also for fire brick, pottery, ETC., lime,
sand of a superior quality for glass, and
a great variety of all kinds of wood
Among the successful industries already
established here are the Mankato Lin
seed Oil works, Fiber works, Cement
factory, Foundries and Machine shops,
Carriage works, Paint works, FIGURING
mills, Cigar factories, Lime kilns, and
Brick yards. Our wholesale business
has, during the past year exceeded
the most sanguine expectations. Among
those doing Il most gratifying business
are: Wholesale grocery, drug, boot and
shoe, and dry goods houses.
MankatO, as a railroad center, offers
exceptional transportation facilities
something i'm this particular equal to the
larger cities-and each year witnesses
additional consideration in this essen
tial. At present we have the Chicago,
st. Paul, Minneapolis & Omaha, with its
branches; the Chicago & Northwestern,
and the Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul
railroads, and the Cannon Valley road
is now nearly completed into the city
and will be in operation in the early
spring. We have a street railway, es-
tablished about four months since,
which is doing prosperous business,
and has proven great convenience to
our citizens.
All that is needed to make Mankato
large city is capital and enterprise. Let
capitalists and men of energy visit our
city with its contiguous fine agricultural
portion of the favorable opportunities
offered. The time is certainly coming,
and ut no remote period, when Manka-
to will rank with the largest cities In the
State and in the whole Northwest.
Minneapolis, st. Paul and Duluth are
now classed as the largest of our Mime
sofa cities, and Mankato will soon fall in
as next in rank.
Mankato is increasing in population
very rapidly. She has now quite 10000
inhabitants, and never in her history
was there such an opportunity offered
for investing in real estate as at present.
An investment made at this time will
paw an enormous interest by the open
ing of spring.
