"Laying by" Corn,

Corn planted in March or April
will soon be sufficiently advanced as
to rcq,lire no further cultivation.
Most farmers have some sort of rule
to guide them as to the proper time
or stage of development of the plants
at which cultivation should cease.
Some think tho crop may be safely
plowcd, if done very shallow, up to
the time of silking; while others in
sist that cultivation by the plow
should not extend beyond the
"bunching for tassel' stage. Both
arc right, and both are wrong some
times; which is equivalent to saying
that no definite rule can be given as
to the time.
If the plants are growing vigor-
ously, and the gronnd is left clear Of
grass and in good condition by q
thorough surface plowing at about
the time the tasscls begin to appear,
further cultivation will probably not
be required. But if such last plow-
ing be Immediately followed by a
heavy rain, wc would prefer to 60
over the field again in a few days,
with a very shallow running cultiva-
tor, sweep orscrape, unless prevented
by the fact that pens have been sown
broadcast.
The practice Of chilling up" corn,
either with plow or hoe, is now
rarely practiccd. The idea that such
hiiling enables the spur roots more
readily to enter the soil, and that
these spur roots arc intended to per-
form the special functions Of feed
ing the fast approaching ear, is, in
our Judgment, fallacious. Wo pre-
fer to call them brace roots, rs sig-
nificant Of the special office they are
intended to fcrform---to sustain tho
stalks against the force OF the winds.

then state my position truthfully in
regard toit, and you can kick me
out of my place tomorrow if I am
expected to hold it at the sacrifice
Of truth and honorl Applause.
I was approached some time ago
by q young man, an advocate Of the
bill, who asked me whether j would
support it. I answered him: eI'll
see you in pretty warm place be-
fore dol" daughter and applause9
| could not support that bill without
violating my conscience-~my oath
to defend tho Constitution. We
have been struggling along almost
against hope. have struggled to
keep the Federal power away from
US, and I stand to the fight! Let
the people alone, in Gods name |
Here comes a bill inviting tho Fcde-
raj government to come into our
midst with an army of officials to
regulate our private affairs!
Why, gentlemen, has it come to
this, that the people of this State
and country have become like chill
dren, 50 dependent that they can't
attend to their own business, but
must get the United States Gov
ernment to attend to it for them ?
When I first read the bill / really
thought it was the offspring of n
crank. There was not single pro-
position in it to commend it to any
farmer in this country!
| was in hopes that the Farmers
Alliance, which is proper and
praiscworthy organization, was 60
ling forward to the farmers in self
reliance, economy and thrift, proper
and praiseworthy objects. But when
an organization of that kind is started
the politicians jump on it and ride it
to death for office.
Lam delighted to. see the agitation
among farmers on all questions, to
see them working up their own in
tcrests, but all | beg of them is not
to be led away by such an ignia
fatuus as this sub treasury bill.
DO any of yon know how many
counties there are in the United
States? Twenty-eight hundred
And the proposed appropriation fol
this scheme I? Fifty millions of dol
lars
Now don't know whether you
could secure a warehouse if the bill
should pass. Lexington, Pickcns,
Oconee and the smaller counties
don't think could. Edgefield might
The bill discriminates against the
smaller counties. Absurd
There are great many questions
which l would like to discuss, but
have not time now. 1t may become
my duty before the campaign is over
to speak upon them, and if so I will
express my honest opinion. I am
not going to fall into passion about
them. If these various propositions
arc discussed honestly and frankly
have no fear of the result.

Native Birds.

Mir. o. c. Polling is now busily en- gagged in mounting the fine collection of birds recently purchased from him by Col. Hafford. Tins includes about one hundred and fifty species found in Cochise Co, mostly in the Hua- chuca mountains. It represents the careful work of about eight months past and forms very valuable col lection.
 Mir. Polling will labe:: each specimen with its scientific as well S lcommon name and the collection will be of ex- ceeding value, not only to ourselves, but also to our visitors to whom it will, through the generosity of Col. Hsiord, be accessible When Hr. Polling finishes this work, he oontsm- plates taking a southern tour and fol- towing his birds in their winter mi- grafton as far south as Yucatan if necessary. When summer returns, MT. Polling hopes 10 return to Cochise county sith the birds and give anoth- CT season to the study of there natures and habits.

The manufacture of celluloid Is
largely carried on in France. A roll
of paper is slowly unwound and at the
same time saturated with a mixture
of five parts Of sulphuric and two
parts Of nitric acid, which falls on the
paper in fine spray. This changes the
cellulose of the paper into pyroxiline,
or gun cotton. The excuses of the
acid having been expelled by pressure,
the paper is washed with plenty Of
water, and all traces of acid are re-
moved. 1t is then reduced to a pulp
and passes on to the bleaching trough.
Most of the water having been got rid
of by means of a strainer. it is mixed
with from twenty to forty per cent. Of
its weight in camphor; second mix
ture and grinding follows. The pulp
is spread out in thin slabs, which are
squeezed in the hydraulic press until
they are as dry as chips. They are
then rolled in heated rollers, and
come out in strips. WHICH are ready to
be worked up into any desired form
