The First Cultivation Of Corn

1t is important while corn is small that
the earth be drawn away from rather than
towards the plant. II the seed has been
dropped in deep check made by marker,
and thus comes up below the level surface
Of the field, almost any string OF the soil
will throw some dirt around the roots
The fair presumption is that they are deep
enough already. Corn loves warmth, and
too much soil over them keeps the roots
too cold. This is often one OF the Difficult
ties in the first dragging Of corn as il
comes up The seed has been put in .
hole 80 that the drag will not tear out the
young plant II left on the level surface
heavy drag will scarcely disturb . hill,
unless it is planted on loose sod which
the drag can npturn. In loose soil the
drag teeth pass bet seen and around the
corn plants, loosening the soil, but not
tearing up the grain. Then wher the cnl
tivator is first set to work, soil may be
thrown away from The plant into the CEN
ter Of the row. aud day or two later
thrown back again. but without making
bill around the plant. The shovel plough
scooping ont the loose earth IN the center
OF the rows and piling it around the stalks
10 ridge, has never any place in the
cornield. Yet We have seen this nipple
ment used exclusively by farmers from the
beginning Of corn cultivation because they
could, with il. cover up weeds 10 and
around the bill with the corn.

People are very apt TO think that when
they place anything on sale 10 market il
should command the very highest prices
offered for that class OF goods. This is
very natural, and it is an inclination which
belongs to every one, no matter what be
produces. II is laudsble and proper
ambition to desire to top the market, but
il is very easy to be mistaken 10 supposing
what one grows is entitled TO this proud
position. Standards vary greatly in diff
ferent localities. What may be prime
beef animal in one place will prove by
comparison to be OF very ordinary quality
when placed beside something from anoth
er district. aud il the producer Of the first
fails TO realize as good figure as is quoted
for the second he is often much disap
pointed. We have frequently commented
on this point in the live stock makets. aud
it is equally true in dairy matters. t. be
sure Of where he stands. the butter maker
should at some time place his own pro
duet beside something which is conceded
in market to be prime, and note the points,
il any. in which it differs from bis own.
In this way any point Of inferiority may
be detected and corrected. None OF US
are too old to learn. The writer Of these
lines, for one, has very different ideas as
10 what constitutes prime butter from
those entertained dozen years ago. and
understands that he has plenty more to
learn in the same direction.

WILLIAMSON, Mich, Jan. 6-This village
was thrown into great excitement Tuesday
last when John A. Williams. accompanied
by his brothers and relatives, to the number
of perhaps nine or ten, drove to the house
Of N. c. Branch, four miles out, and brought
back Mr.. Williams wife, who is the daugh-
ter Of Mr.. Branch, and was lying very i'll
there Mr. Branch and his family protest
ed, but without avail. The visitors carried
away the woman, although she is blind and
was hardly half conscious
The Branch party at once raised up the
neighborhood and the whole party marched
into tho village and up to the Williams
house. Branch having pr eviously secured a
writ Of replevin for the bed. The writ was
issued at ii o'clock at night and given to an
officer to serve. The officer at once went "a
the Williams house The crowd that fol-
lowed and those already about the house were
composed largely Of the 'ritf-raff from the
town and surrounding country, and many of
them were drunk.
The officer demanded admittance to the
house and was refused. A crowd ran for
ward and burst In the door, and was con-
fronted in the hall by the husband, Williams.
He pleaded with them not to rob him of his
wife, saying that the shock and fright would
kill her. He was overpowered by the mob,
his helpless wife seized and placed in sleigh,
and driven back TO her mothers home. The
crowd became so demonstrative that one or
two of the Williams family and DR.. Deffen-
dorf, who had been attending Mrs Williams,
were obliged to leave town in a hurry to
avoid personal violence.

Syeyerhnuser's New Deal.

A Milwaukee special to the Chicago
Herald gives the following:
A travelling man who was in the city
today made some statements which, il
true, mean that the Chippewa Valley,
and especially Eau Claire and Chippewa
Falls, are to have a boom that will send
property flying skyward. He says that
the reason Mr., Weyerhauser of Rock ISL
and. and his partners bought out the Eau
Claire Lumber company was that the
channel of the Chippewa river is chang
ing at Beef Slough, and that If nature
continues the same work for year or
two the Mississippi Logging company
will be deprived of its noted log harbor.
and will no longer be able to brazil and
raft logs there. This would compel
them to seek new field. and Eau Claire,
with its dam and pond at the Dells, to.
gether with Half Moon Lake and the con
Meeting canal, is the only available place
on the river. The holding of the 400.
600, 900 to 800, 900, 900 feet Of logs that
now go down the river and their manu-
facture along the banks between Eau
Claire and Chippewa Falls would make
the locality the greatest primary lumber
point 10 the world, and would double the
laboring population of the two towns.
Wirona, Moline, Davenport and the
other Mississippi points would suffer in
zwf6portIon, of course, but without Beef
BBlough they cannot help themselves.
