As to Planting Corn.

Ed Register - Growing corn has
been leading industry in Iron county
ever since this section of Missouri was
first settled; and, may add, there is
not much varying from the first meth
od of planting and cultivating this
cereal up to the last crop grown. Our
farmers in northern and western Iron
county are not very progressive in
their methods, and, in this respect, are
not liable to the criticism of being fick-
le-minded. There are some differences
OF opinion, however, as to the better
mode of managing the corn crop.
Recently some farmers chanced to
meet near Cedar Grove church, near
Kaolin, when a causual conversation
was had upon the ques ton of the bet
ter method of planting corn. One per-
son. recent addition to our population,
suggested that more corn would be
grown to the acre by planting the crop
in drills, single grain in a place, al
from twelve to fifteen inches apart
ton of the soil than could grown by
planting in hills in the usual way: two
stalks to hill, in rows about three
feet ten inches apart. The discussion
growing little warm, the advocate o
the drill method, saying he did not ant
would not bet, pledged a bonus of S;
to any one in Iron county who woult
grow as much corn. with rows thret
feet ten inches apart, each way, will
two grains in the hill, as. with similal
land and equal amount of labor. couls
| be grown in drills three feet ten inches
apart, the plants from twelve to fifteei
inches in the drill, and that he woult
give an equal bonus if three stalks in
hill did not produce more corn thar
the two in hill system at the edistanc
| prescribed above.
| In response to this banter or pledge

AT LOW PRICES.

an enthusiastic old farmer, long resi-
dent of Iron county, pledged himself to
give bonus of $25 If the two stalks in
hill, on similar land and equal LABOR,
did not produce more corn than either
the drill system or three stalks to the
hill.
Now, here is chance for some enter
prising granger to turn an honest PEN
ny, in a matter in which there is no
betting, only bonus, and in which
the experimenter is sure to gain. what
ever or OH whatsoever side the scale
may fall; so let US have report in

BRADDoCK.


BRADDocK, PA. Jan. %, 1888.
The borough of Braddock has about
$4,000 inhabitants and is located ten
miles southeast of Pittsburg. on the Mon
ongahela River, is $3.50 miles from New
ark, Del, via the B. d o. r. r., and 30l
miles via the ?. r. r. Any one wishing
to make the trip will find the longest
way around the best"
-Four railroads now run through Brad
dock to Pittsburg, aifording fifty-two
chances to go to the latter place daily.
l don't think there is any place in
the world that has better facilities for
manufacturing purposes, and some of the
world greatest manufacturers are not
blind either. Here, Andrew Carnegie
has the largest Steel Rail Mill in the
world, this mill is capable of making $50
tons of rails every day and it takes over
5000 men to keep it in operation, covers
an area of over 300 acres, and has 40
miles ofrailroad in and around lis build.
ings and has Is Locomotives.
Here, George Westinghouse the world
renowned Air Brake man, has bought
600 acres Of lana for which he paid $780,
600, on which lie intends building large
manufacturing plants of different kinds.
If this land was located within three
miles of Newark it would not bring more
than SIS per acre, because it is mostly
rotten sandstone and has little or no fer
tility.
There are other industries here, viz :
