Practical Rules I'm Corn CuIture.

The Minnesota experiment station
sends out the following rules and con-
illusions in relation to corn culture:
Use proper rotations, where posi-
bic, including clover; economy of man
ures, good tillage, aud drain tiles,
where needed, to enable the soil to
furnish the plant with an abundance of
plant food and moisture, SO us to push
it rapidly to an early and we'll dcvel-
Oped maturity.
Plough in fall TO furnish more of
available plant food; to secure an ear
lier and better seed bed and to relieve
spring work.
Plow stubblc in fall five or seven
inches deep, il the seed terminates it
will grow with vigor.
Plant in hills or "chcckrows, unless
labor for the one or two necessary hoe
ingS of drilled corn can be secured
very cheaply.
Plant at a depth Of two to four and
onc-half inches, approaching the latter
depth when late, or in case of very dry
or very mellow soil, as in some spring
blowing, and plant shallow when early,
or in case of wet or compact soils, as
is the case with some fall blowing.
Prof Otto Lugger says: Soak all the
seeds for some time in a solution of
blue stone to prevent the growth of
that injurious fungus known as smut. ="
Harrow the corn twice or more, as
one good narrowing is worth more than
fifth blowing. Give the last one
when the corn is four inches high.
The best cultivatOr is one that will
do thorough work without breaking
many roots, is easily handled, and has
the numerous other desirable qualities.
If deep going shovel is used do not
go unnecessarily close or deep. Make
the "hills" or ridges about four inches
higher than the burrows by killing IL
little during each cultivation. Do not,
under any circumstances, run deeply
close to the corn the last time through.
If shallow cultivator is in use, set
it, If possible, so as to hill the corn
properly and to cover the weeds in the
row; also, SO that after the last plow-
ing it will leave a dust blanket" two
or more inches deep in the middle be-
tween the rows.
If cultivator is to be purchased, pro-
cure one that will do thorough work.
and, II you can do so, select one that
does not prune the roots badly. But
remember that cultivator which
leaves weeds in the rows, to consume
food and "suck up" and cvaporate
moisture needed by the corn, and
which also leaves a very thin "dust
blanket in the middle between the
rows also allowing great loss of moist
ure by evaporation, may not be so good
as one that has only the fault of going
too deep. Some sO-called shallow
cuItivators may merit only fence cor
ncr room.
Produce, If possible, by means OF
cross fertilization, good dent and flint
varieties that will ripen early and will
withstand early frosts.

Germany'S Influence.

Germany is not making the best of
records for itself in its African coloniz-
alton schemes. Bismarck, who bosses
the business, is born despot, and his
disregard Of the interests and even OF
the rights of native Africans is pro-
vOking unpleasant comments. Bis
marck is an old man now; but even in
his youth he was at least fifty years be-
hind the aspirations of the German
people for greater freedom. Probably
what Germany is doing in Africa is
only what English colonists did POO or
300 years ago, but it was not an anach-
rOnism then as it is now. The Germans
are fostering the slave trade among
the native tribes, and it was expected
that this would provoke some uncom-
plimentary comments at the approach
ing meeting of the English anti-slavery
society. Fearing this, Lord Salisbury has
written letter to the Archbishop of
Canterbury, who was intending to be
present at the meeting, saying he hoped
such expressions would be checked
This also seems to be an anachronism
on his lordship's part. England and
Germany have had a kindly feeling for
many years because Queen Victoria
daughter married the crown prince of
Germany. But within the year, while
Salisbury has been tormenting the Irish
and watching the growing home rule
party in Great Britain, the crown
prince of Germany has become emper-
or, has himself died, and is now sue
ceeded by his son, who is under Bis
marck's thumb. and "a bitter enemy of
his own mother. The logical reason
for English sentimental support of Ger
many has passed away. Before Lord
Salisbury wakes up to the true condi-
ton of things, he is likely himself to
be superseded by somebody who keeps
more nearly up to the news of the pres
emf day.-Boston Cultivator.

Farm Notes.

Grapes do best on well cultivated
ground we'll drained.
An old -four barrel, with the remains
Of flour on its sides to become musty is
about the worst possible vessel to keep
apples in.
To feed 4 sheep for flesh and bone is
also to feed it for wool; but heavy
grain-feeding makes yelk and grease to
an amount disproportionate to the gain
in fleece.
A strange phenomenon is observed
in connection with the natural gas sup
ply at Montpelier, Ind. Six hours out
of every twenty-four the gas runs down
to a minimum. and six hours daily it
reaches maximum. The movements
coincide with the ocean tides.
A New York dairyman says he can
get more milk from cows fed on beets,
two bushels per diem to the cows, than
from ensilage. The milk yield ran up
TO twenty quarts. He asserts he can
produce beets at a cost Of four cents
Oushel, one thousand bushels to the
acre.
The worst evil which the telephone
has to contend with is the induction
from other telegraph or electric-light
wires, which produces the loud, hum
ming sound frequently heard in the
telephone, and confuses the tone sound
OF the instrument In cities this evil is
constant, and there is no perfect remedy
for it. Therefore. in the country tele-
phone utterances are more distinct

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
termination OF Seeds.

Heat, darkness, moisture and air
are necessary for termination OF seeds,
though they will freely sprout if exposed
to light. These necessities are good
subjects for consideration in preparing
a seed-bed for grain sown in the spring,
as upon them depends materially the
successful production OF crop. Take
first the fact that heat is required for
the roper sprouting of seed In the
ground. As rule soils are cold in
the spring, seeing that there is great
amount of evaporation taking place
from the surface, and il the soil be UNI
drained it is all tho colder, as it is
more or less watcr-loggcd. Into a soil
of this description the atmosphere can
not well penetrate, but when drained
the pores of the soil are free from
water, and air naturally follows on the
principle that nature abhors a vacuum
thus air takes the place OF water,
and consequently tho land becomes
warmer, and the points necessary for
termination are gained. The chemical
changes which take place in the seed
while sprOuting are of much interest;
we shall, therefore, devote little
space to their consideration. When
placed in the soil the seed first absorbs
moisture, then swells and softens; u
small quantity of white albuminous
substance is next formed at the base of
the germ called didStdSe, which con-
vcrts the starch of the seed into sugar,
the albuminoidS become soluble. Oxy-
gen is absorbed, Carbonic acid is given
off and heat developed. The rootlcts
then descend through their sheaths Tin
wheaD and the plumule or sprout as
cends. If the time required for a plant
to come to the surface in termination
from inch deep is taken as l, then at
2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 inches, the times will
be as l.5, 10, II, 1.S, and 10, and the
percentage of seeds sprOuting at 80,
80, 20, 80, 10 and -. They will not
terminate at a depth of inches, but
may retain their vitality for u long
time, The best depth for wheat is
from one to two inches, the largest
percentage sprouting ut that depth is
from twelve to eighteen days. Much
of the failure in seed corn is due not to
the nOn-vitality of the seed, but to the
conditions under which it is planted.
If farmers would sec that n seed-bed is
prepared in accordance with the laws
necessary to termination rs given
above. they would save themselves
much expense and vcXatiOn. -Practi-
cal Farmer.

tect them from the cold winds and the
Chilling rainS

1t does not require much more time
to take care of one hundred sheep at
this season than it does for one or two
cows, yet they need to be looked after
every day. They need fresh water
where they can go to it when they
please. Sheep drink but little at time,
but drink often when not feeding upon
green grass or eating roots. They need
fresh bedding frequently. They need
shed that will protect them not only
from snow and cold rain, but from
drafts OF cold air. The sheep shed
should be open upon the south side to
admit the sunlight and allow of the
escape of the ctfiuvia from the manure
under them, but it should be protected
by board fence high enough to shell
ter them from the wind when lying
down.-Cincinnati Enquirer.

The flower was not given TO me,

The song was not meant for INC,

They cannot tell whittier they go;
Yet, however it fails of its errand,
Love makes the world sweeter | know.

Nor truth, nor the breath of prayer;
And the thought that goes forth as blcs!

The Right Sort of a Conductor


A woman entered a crowded car and
the conductor Immediately went to the
forward end, where two or>three men
were sitting together, and said:
''Move up little closer, gentlemen,
and make room for this lady,"
Tho men could not possibly sit
closer, as the conductor well knew, and
there was nothing to do but for one OF
them to get up.
''iere is a seat for you, ma'am,"
said the conductor.
..Oh, but don't want to deprive the
gentleman Of his seat" said the lady.
Don't you mind him." replied the
conductor; you're lady, and ladies
are always going to have seats in my
car as long as / know how to get
them"

A NEW SCHEME.
A Movement on Foot TO Divide ArIzon.
and Make IL State.


and Make IL n State.
Chicago dispatch: Intelligence of a
new movement in New Mexico, in the
interest of statehood, is brought by H.
M. Glasgow, editor of the Sierra County
Advocate, who is in the city. He says
that New Mexico would have been made
state last winter were it not for the in
fuence of Mexicans. The old don ele-
ment of the Mexican race is as active in
its supremacy in New Mexico rs it ever
was in Old Mexico. No legislation is
effected in the territory that is not
agreeable to the high class Mexicaus
They dominate the country like feudal
lords Recognizing this, and the fact
that it can never be otherwise, says
Glasgow, we want to separate ourselves
from them. When asked how this could
be accomplished, he said that the Mexi-
can and Indian population was found
almost altogether in the northern
and eastern portion of the territory,
while the white, or English speaking
people, all live in the southwest por-
ton. Two weeks ago representatives
from five counties, most largely Amer
lean, met at Las Cruces and appointed
O committee to canvass the district and
influence the people in favor of di-
vision. TO these counties they propose
to add Graham and Cochese counties,
Of eastern Arizona. The seven coun-
ties together have q population Of o, 500,
almost exclusively what may be denom-
mated American. The committee, said
Glasgow. has reported in favor of di-
vision. By this means the Americans
leave the other elements fair sized
territory that they can make state Of
when ready for it. But will Arizona
consent to losing o part of her territory,
was asked. The people in the two conn
ties named are quite willing, and the
western portion of the territory will be
left TO add to Lower California when it
shall become desirable to make a state
Of that country. We feel reasonably
confident of success il we can ever get
the question before congress in the
right shape.
