HYPATIA's CHRYsANTHEMUM SHOW

The culture and care of flowers is be-
coming matter OF more common interest
every year; and especially are women in
teresiing themselves in this delightful ex-
ercise. Aside from the benefit to be derived
from the outdoor air, the contact with the
health giving soil and the moderate exer-
else which is called forth, the cultivation
of flowers is calculated to bring out and
strengthen the best feelings in all
The members of Hypatia, believing as
they do that nothing but good can come
from the care and attention given to flow
ers, and believing that such cultivation
will do much toward elevating the moral
tone of the community, have decided to
hold in November next flower show. At
tention will be largely given to chrysan-
rhemums, though roses and pansies viii
be included in the premium list. 1t Is the
object OF the committee TO make the COM
petition open not only to the entiie state
of Kansas, but to adjoining states, and the
premiums such as will induce the best
florists to enter.
1t is particularly desired that ladies and
children shall he competitors, and for this
reason the premium lis; has been arranged
for their advantage. One especial prize
will be offered for the finest single plant
from the seed, and any child may plant
his own seed and cultivate his own flower.
Another special prize of SO has already
been offered by one of our own florists,
Mr.. C. p. Mueller, and all the florists have
expressed their cordial approval of the
plans.
In business point of view it NAV be
seen at once that such an exhibition. con-
Quoted upon the plans now formed will be
an immense advantage TO the city. 1t is
expected that the show of flowers will last
at least three days. and that it will be at
tended by people from the surrounding
towns.
The committee expect it to he one Of the
best entertainments ever offered 10 our
people. aud confidently look for the cordial
support of ALL The premium list will ap-
pear in few days. We hope every family
will enter flowers for premiums, and to
that end begin their cultivation at once.
For any information in regard 10 the
kind OF flowers or their cultivation apply

HARVESTING CORN.
Value of . Regular System In CuttinI
Each Shock,

Value Of . Regular system In Cutting
Each Shoek,
While the inventors of harvesting
machines are making successful prog
ress in constructing machinery drawn
by horses for cutting the corn crop, the
great majority of the corn fields in the
country at large are still harvested by
means of hand labor, when not allowed
to go to waste. 1t is important, there
fore, while millions of dollars are ex-
pended in labor by the cultivators of
this crop, that every facility should be
afforded, and the labor reduced as far
as practicable. The suggestions we Of
fer OF this subject are not only intend
ed to abridge labor, but to prevent
much of the existing waste by the
needless exposure Of the corn fodder.
The practice Of planting corn in
''hills' is still very largely pursued
throughout the country, and when the
crop is ripe enough and the grain has
well hardened. it is cut by hand and
secured in shocks. These remain sew
eral weeks till the season arrives for
huskIng and stacking. during which
time the shocks are exposed to weather
and storms, and n portion of them are
commonly beaten down and Frustrated,
soaked with rain and rotted so as to be
of little value for fodder.
A reason for this prostration and
waste is the one-sided way In which
the shocks are built. Instead of plac-
ing the shocks in an equal circle around
the center, they are often placed nearly
all on n side. pressing them more or
less out of the center, giving the shocks
a one-sided tendency, and entirely pros
trating a portion of them. This waste
could be prevented by taking the nee
