EismarcI,s TruthfuIness.

Prince Bismarck has always been
noted for his love of truth, not only in
his domestic but also in his public life.
This desire for truthfulnes was instilled
into his heart by the mother whom he
loved devotedly, and to whom he was
a most tender and respectful son.
Once when he was a little boy his
mother, when bidding him good night,
asked carelessly, ''And did you eat
your brOth?"
To her surprise the boy ran away
without making her any answer, but
he quickly reappeared and said eyes, VI
with great gIee. 1t seems that his
memory had failed him in regard to the
broth, and he hunted up his governess,
Lottie Schmeling, to make sure that he
had eaten It'll
His ideas in regard to the love pa
rents hold for their children were al
ways outraged by the story of William
Tell. who was not hero to his mind
at all. On one occasion the talk had
turned on Schiller's version of the tale
and Bismarck said:
'It would have been nobler and
more natural, according to my way OF
thinking, if instead of aiming toward
the boy and displaying his skill by
shooting an apple on his sons head he
had shot at the governorl That would
have been nothing more than righteous
anger at an inhuman demandp -

In wheat growing localities rye Is
weed. and an especially dangerous one to
get among seed wheat. We have known,
saws Toronto Mail, some wheat growers
who would not grow rye on any part OF
their farms, as it would get into the
manure piles and thus spread to the
wheat field. Rye is much more hardy
than wheat, and in bad seasons it in
creases. As its tall heads peer above the
wheat, ten days or more before the latter
heads out, there is ample time to go
through the field with sharp knife and
cut out the intruder. 1t is curious to
note the prolifcacy of rye when it has
good chance. Each of these stools is
from single grain, and each viii have
from four or five to eight or more stalks
with a well filed head, and altogether
bearing often fifty to sixty times the
number of the grains from which it
sprung. As the farmer is doing this job
he may well wonder why rye, as sown
in the field for grain, does not yield at
this rate, and whether he does not usual
" sow three or four times as much seed
as would be needed if the plants were
better MANFRED and the soil better fitted.

George Osborne's marital infelicity
dates from the day on which he first
became fascinated by a photograph.
He had read great deal about the
wonderful possibilities connected with
the instrument, but he had never seen
one He was persuaded by an eloquent
canvasser one day not long ago to rent
a photograph for use in his Office. He
spent several hours learning how to
manipulate the machine, and on the
afternoon it arrived the clerks and
office boys deserted their work to watch
Osborne with his new toy.
That evening Osborne described to
his wife the remarkable achieve
ments of his photograph; how it re-
produced a song sung by his head
clerk and banjo solo performed by
one of the boys. Osborne was always
an entertaining talker at dinner. He
believed that testing and digesting have
a very close connection with each other.
His wife was very much impressed with
his description of the photograph, and
determined to go to the Office on the
IOllOWlHS ulOrlllnS.
Osborne told his wife that he was go
ing to spend the evening at the club.
Instead of so doing, however, he went
to his Office and played with the phono-
graph until midnight. He had never
been so happy since the day his wife
accepted him. During the evening he
sang into the instrument some verses of
a love ditty that he had recently heard
at his club.
When Mrs. Osborne reached the Office
in the morning she found that her hus-
band had gone out on matter of
business. One of the clerks offered to
operate the photograph for her. She
was delighted with the instrument.
The comic song and the banjo solo
pleased her extremely, and she laughed
heartily to hear her husband reciting
"Bingen on the Rhine" Then he be-
gan to sing. Mrs. Osborne's face grew
grave. II stood by her side tonight.
Ibid she know-that fair haired wo-
man-she had made me curse my fate?''
This was awful Mrs. Osborne burst
into tears and left the Office hurriedly.
All this happened some weeks ago.
Osborne is still trying to convince his
wife that no fair haired woman ever
sung to him in the cleaning, and that
he has no personal acquaintance with
love that came too Washington

Points in Corn Culture.

Experiments made at the Ohio Agri-
cultural station during past seasons
throw considerable light upon, if they
do not entirely settle, some points in the
cultivation of corn about which farm
ers are not entirely agreed either in the
DRY or practice. As cultivated at the
station the following appears to have
been pretty well established. As class
the large yellow dent varieties were the
most productive. Large white dents
take second place. In the flint varieties
the large white flints take the lead, fol-
lowed by mixed flints, and these by yell
low fiints Taken as a whole or as indi-
vidual varieties the flint corns are not a
profitable class for Ohio lands unless it
should be in some of the northern sec
lions.
In seven years experiments in deep
shallow planting the average results
show an advantage in favor of planting
one inch rather than two inches deep.
The greatest amount of marketable corn
was produced where the stalks averaged
twelve inches apart: the variations in
yield were slight, whether planted one
grain every twelve inches, two every
twenty-four, three every thirty-six, OF
four every forty-eight inches. Three
years trial has not indicated any
marked differences in the reproductive
qualities of corn from the butts, nIiddles
or tips of the ears. Whenever any vari-
alton existed it was in favor of middles
and tips and against the butts. The
| average results of two years expert
ments favored deep cultivation rather
| than shallow, and indicated that corr
should be cultivated more frequently il
q dry season than in wet or ordinary
