How Can Corn be Grown With Profit

To attain this we must have good lard,
and If it is level and black soil, then you
can count on a paying crop if you cult
vate your corn properly. A clover sod is
best; then pillow or 10 inches deep and as
early as possible; if you can get your land
pl0wed by the middle of April so mach
the better, but don't make the mistake
like great many do, by not using the
harrow on it till you wish to plant your
corn. If possible run the harrow ever it
every week, and if you harrow it twice a
week so much the better. Next comes
good marking off, good seed and good
planting. | prefer to make the rows 3
feet 8 inches apart, check-rowed is best;
the burrows ought to be or inches deep.
Thdn use the very best of seed corn,
plant three grains in hill, between the
10th and goth of May. As soon as the
corn is up so you can sec it well through
the rows start your cultivator and keep
that gong once q week until the corn Is
feet high. Perhaps there are some of
the readers of the Farmer who think that
onehalf of the narrowing and cultivatiRg
[ recommend would be enough. Perhaps
it would be If you are satisfied with 30 or
40 bushels per acre. If farmers would re-
member this and believe it as do, that
good tillage is manure" then the
corn crop would be much larger every
year, and the weeds much less in the corn
fields.

CONSUMPTION. Wasting Diseases.

And General Debility Doctors disagree as TO
the relative value of Cod Liver OIL and Hvpo-

the other giving nerve power, and acting as a

Extracts From Letter From Ex Mayor Har-
risOn to the Chicago Mail Written From
India.
| am writing this at Peshawer. sixteen
hundred miles to the northwest of Calcut-
ia, and close to the border line OF Aghanis-
tan, that bone of contention on which
Russia and England have been so long
mounting, and over which they will growl
for probably many years to come.
wrote my last letter at Agra; since then
we have passed through the heart of the
mighty empire of the moguls of HindoO-
stan, whose luxury and splendor made the
fairy tales of the thousand and one
Arabian Nights reality, and has furnish
ed TO the minds of Europeans and Ameri-
cans their idea and ideal of "Orientalism.' -
We have passed days in studying the re-
mains Of their palaces, thousand tombs,
monuments OF magnitience which makes
Moore's gorgeous lines truthful descrip-
tions rather than dreams of Hibernian
imagination We have visited their three
great capitals, Agra, in the south, Delhi,
the central, and Lahore, their northern
one. In these they build palaces and
mosques, which are dreams of beauty,
lnlaylug thin stone, or alaoaster walls,
with precious marbles. They built
thrones for themselves and tombs for
their predecessor or their queens of an
architectural beauty never excelled, with
gems and jewels for adornments, and
lavishe1 upon them in elaborated finish
the spoils of conquered kingdoms.
MILLIONS OFF ORNAMENTS.
Although the bulk of the work perform
ed in building these structures was that
of the unpaid multitude; yet so rich were
they in construction that millions were
expended to furnish material which could
not be crystallized from the sweat of the
dOwntrodden people. One is almost lost
in amaZement that men, though kings,
could be so reckless in extravaganza, and
can account for it only by recalling The
fact that in their veins flowed the blood
of Ghenges Khan Timur, whose visions of
splendOr were as bOundless as the vast
steppes in which they were born, and
luxuriousness was in reverse proportion
to the poverty of their past. They were
like beggars mounted upon winged
steed5.
We have tried to move as leisurely as
was compatible with what we had to do

ignated as a literary new birth in Den
mark, a brighter day also began to dawn
over woman. Stuart Mills book was
translated by DR.. Brandes and extensively
read. The poets, Jens Hostrup, Rjornsen,
lbsen, etc, took up the question of WON
ans rig hts, and treated it in their best
books, and from very liberal point of
view. In 1879 women were admitted to
the university, that is to participation in
the highest education the state offers
Most, however, of what has been done in
Denmark for the education of women is
due to one single lady, Miss Natalie Zghle,
who, without any support from the state,
has created an institute of female educa-
ton, which far exceeds any of the schools
for boys which the state maintains with
great sacrifices of money.
During the war with Germany, 1868
1864, women asked 70 be allowed to nurse
the sick and wounded, but in vain, none
bat male help being tolerated in the hos
pitfalls. But in 1875 an organization of
female nurses was founded and in 1876 a
Danish division of the Red Cross was es-
tablished. In the same year women be-
gan to form associations with the pur-
pose of fighting the public prostitution,
protecting animals. and first and fore
