A Great Country for Monster specimens
of the Rattlesnake Persuasion.
The largest rattlesnakes are in Texas,
on the lower Rio Grande, where they
sometimes attain the length of twelve
feet and are heavy in proportion. The
smallest are the ''horned" rattlesnakes
of Arizona, New Mexico and Southern
California, which seldom reach a length
of two feet They have two little ex-
crescences over the eyes and are full of
devilment. They have rattlcs, but sell
dom use them, preferring to lie half
hidded in the sand until stepped on,
when they demonstrate. The sand or
dessert is also small, and pretends to
be on neighborly terms with the prairie
dog, whose burrows he occupies. !
have reason to believe that when the
rattlesnake inserts himsefin the bosom
of prairie dogs family he does SO on
fraudulent grounds and is unwillingly
entertained. The prairie dog carries
no life insurance and can not afford a
quarrel, and the snake is mean enough
to take the advantage Of him. There
is little brown and very comical owl
who likewise takes up residence with
the prairie dog, but he makes at least
show of earning his rent by remaining
at the entrance and acting as janitor,
politely bowling to everybody who
passes. Neither snake, dog nor owl
seems to mind the others presence, but
are exceedingly sociable. -Nashrille

The New York Nation gives some
interesting figures showing the age at
which men of real ability are likely to

and Andrew johnson were each 81
years old; Fremont and Douglas were
each 4S; Seward was go; Chase, SO;

then prominent in politics or destined
to prominence in the field, of whom a
full third had completed their tiftieth
year. Even cutting down the figures
by introduction in the list of the few
younger men who did not become prom

PLANTING CORN.
Adapting Denseness Of Planting to the
ni0arant Va rtettes Cf the Cereal

Adapting Denseness Of Planting to the
Different Varieties of the Cereal.
In most of the trials made at expert
ment stations and elsewhere, to deter.
mine the productiveness of different
varieties of corn, sufficient allowance
is not made for the unlike degrees of
density of planting which the different
sorts will bear, a small variety, for its
best return. bearing much closer
planting than a large, leafy sort, with
heavy ears. Some OF the large South.
ern corn gives three times as much
grain on the ear as the smaller North
ern sort; and If both are planted at
equal distances, or with the same num-
Der of stalks to the acre, the product
of the small corn will be either too
small to do the kind Justice, or else the
large sort will be too thick to produce
well-developcd ears.
These remarks are suggested on
looking over bulletin of the Ohio
Agricultural Experiment Station, Civ
ing the results of trials made on sixty
varieties. The land on which the corn
grew was rich, and small portion of
an acre was allotted to each sort. The
same degree of denseness in planting
was allowed to each kind; they were
planted in rows three and half feet
apart each way, with three stalks in
the hill. The experiments were I'M
questionably performed with great ac-
curacy. The larger and later sorts, if
not too much crowded, would possess
great advantage over the small
varieties. Accordingly, in glancing
down the list, which gives the date of
ripening in one column and the product
in another, the heaviest returns are
uniformly among the late or large
growing sorts. Those who matured
in August yielded at the rate of
from IS to 80 bushels an acre; those
which gave over hundred bushels
an acre, nearly all ripened theil
grain late in September. The variety
known as ''Horsc-TOoth," maturing
= September Is, yielded l15 bushels an
acre; "RObinson's Mixed" September
"a, yielded 1902 bushels; "Hiawassee, :"
September %, gave lOs bushels, and so
with few other varieties. Only one
sort, ripening before the middle OF Sep
TENDER, yielded over hundred BUSH
sls. There were, of course. some par
TN exceptions to the above general
rules. But the results show the i'm
portance Of adapting the denseness of
planting to the different varieties.
There is no doubt that small corn may
be planted as much thicker than large
as to compensate for the smallness of
the ears, Judging from the heavy crops
which have been occasionally afforded.
In measuring, the number of bushels
were determined by weighing-seventy
pc, nds to the bushel at husking. The
quantity would of course be much re-
duced after drying few MONTHS
