IMPORTANT EXPERIMENT WITH CORN

A novel experiment is being tried at
the Oklahoma Experiment Station at
Saltwater, the outcome of which will
be watched with interest by farmers
everywhere, and particularly in the
corn regions of the great West. The
hot winds of July 1, 2 and dried out
the corn tassels to such an extent that
no pollen, or very little, was available
to impergnate the silks, which is nee
essary for the formation of perfect
grains and full ears. Upon finding
the corn in that condition, Prof. Mag
ruder, the station horticulturist, pro-
ceeded at once to procure pollen from
other plants of younger corn, and with
this pollen artilicially impergnated the
silks of the plants where the pollen had
been destroyed. If the silks were dead
he had the shuck cut down from the
top 2 or inches, the pollen busted on
and the shuck folded back over the
end of the ear. If this experime emit
succeeds, and the corn is saved, it will
be a grand discovery for the farmers
of the West, for any farmer can per-
form the work and fertiliZe an acre a
day and secure by this labor an average
crop where he would otherwise have
nothing.

has not condensed upon particle of
dust as nucleus This is easily DEM
onstrated. We fill a large flask with
air which has been filtered through
cotton waddings until all the original
dust is driven out, and the flask is full
of dustlsss air. Into this dustless air
turn current of steam from a kettle,
and you will find it transparent, and,
therefore, invisible. Not trace of the
cloudy appearance we associate with
steam. The only thing noticeable is
that the inner walls of the flask begin
to drip; the yapor condenses here as it
cools; because there is nothing else for
it to condense on. But blow ordinary
dust-laden air into the flask, and the
vapor at once assumes the familiar
cloudy appearance dueto its condensa-
ton OH the dust PARTICLES; and it be
gins to vain in tie flask. The reason
for this is that the vapor condenses on
the dust particles and freights them
until they sink as rain-drops.
Without dust, then, we would have
no fog, no clouds, no rain, no snow, no
brilliant-hued sunsets, no cerulean sky.
The surface of the earth itself, the
trees, the house, along with man and
beast, would be the only objects on
which the vapor could condense, and
these would begin to drip whenever
the air was cooled sufficiently. In win
ter every thing would be covered with
crust Of ice. Our clothes would be-
come saturated with water condensing
upon them. Umbrellas would be of
no avail The vapor-laden atmosphere,
moreover, would penetrate to our
rooms and condense upon the walls
and furniture. In short, the world we
live in would be quite another world if
there were no dust.
Since scientists began TO realize the
important part played by dust in the
economy of nature, measures have
been taken TO count the particles in a
given space. In London and in Paris
at the surface, a cubic centimeter has
been found to contain nearly a quarter
of a million particles; on the top OF the
Eiffel tower there are about half as
many, while in the high Alps there are
only about 200 particles to the cent?
meter A great deal of the dust at
high attitudes is cosmic dust, consist
ing, like the meteorites of carbon and
iron.-RuraI Life.

OUR GREATEST RESOURCE.

Gen. G. G. Andrews presents some
considerations on the opportunities and
advantages of agricultural industry in
Minnesota which we caunot recon.
mend too strongly to the practical con.
sideration of those who have felt the
stress of the times and been buffeted
by the unhappy circumstances of the
last year and half. For those who
have been left behind in the race there
Is refuge on the farm; the happiest
haven and the natural home Of the
family. The amount of public land in
Minnesota is decreasing rapidly, yet
still there is enough left to accommo-
date many thousands with snug farm,
acquired without cost under the home
stead act. In addition to this there
are immense amounts of railroad land,
Of excellent quality, within easy reach
of transportation facilities, which can
be had for So or less an acre, on terms
almost as liberal as the intending set
tier could ask. 1t is amazing that peo-
pie should struggle on in the cities, and
look misfortune and penury and de-
pendence in the face, which with far
less endurance they might find them
selves, aster few years, comfortably
well off and absolutely safe from pres
ent or future want. There is room for
all on the farm.
A prosperous and intelligent farmer
sat In this Office short time ago, dis
cussing the events of the past year; the
financial panic, the unexampled bust
ness depression, the industrial unrest
and the progress of a rebellion against
the government, which, If not arrested,
would have ended in civil war. swell,
he said, as he arose to go, 81 am going
back to my farm and let the old world
go its own gait. 1 am happy there.
Nothing disturbs me. In the worst
year that can come, 1 will have plenty
to support my family. will have my
books and papers and know what is
going OH outside, but | am safe. Pan.
les and trade revulsions do not affect
me at all, and even revolution would
hardly disturb me in my quiet nook
Now bright people have been cudgel-
ing their brains to make out picture
of the future utopia. But is there any.
thing even in the dreams of Missionaries
that is much nearer to a condition OF
material happiness than thisp Hard
ship and struggle are there and every.
where. Life without struggle would
be worthless. But there also indepen.
dence, and, with industry and frugality
absolute assurance against future dis.
tress. 1t would be an untold blessing
if armies of the unemployed and of the
unfortunate could be transplanted to
the farm. In Minnesota alone there
are opportunities enough for millions
The real reformers win not cease To
prescribe, as the most potent remedy
for the evils of the time, a return of the
people to the land that awaits them;
the land that had made the mighty
fortunes of this country, and whose
possession unoccupied in such great
quantity is still its amplest resource

THE CORN cRoPIN SHELBY COUNTY.

Careful inquiry concerning the con-
dition of the corn crop in Shelby coun-
ty leads us to believe that corn is very
seriously damaged in all the townships
of the county excepting the southern
tier and Jackson, Harlan and Lincoln.
The townships mentioned were favored
with showers since the Other sections
received drop. The last rain of any
consequence fell here six weeks ago
next Saturday The east side of the
county from the north line of Jackson
township south received fine shower
two weeks ago tomorrow. The north
and northwestern pats of the county
have had no rain for ten weeks. We
talked with young farmer Saturday
on whose corn field of 220 acres no rain
has fallen since May. There are many
others who can make the same state.
ment. A farmer from Jackson town
ship told us Saturday that under the
upper crust the ground was moist
enough to stick together when COM
pressed in the hand. Another inspec-
tor who examined field of corn near
Earring the Sunday previous reported
that next the road the corn looked bad,
but after going in few rows the stalks
looked well and carried heavy ears.
Digging down i'll the ground three
inches he found moist earth. This
year instead of putting out shoots the
corn roots have gone straight down in
the ground after the moisture.
The opinion of many farmers is the
rain came too late to benefit the corn
which has suffered most. The condi-
ton of the crop in some parts of the
county is SO discouraging that renters
have been given back their notes secur-
ing the rent Tor the land, 10y a number
of proprietors who have expressed
themselves as willing to take even
chances with their renters OH the mis-.
fortunes of the season. Harvest of the
crop may show we are more frightened
than hurt, but it is safe to say that
such an uncertainty rs to crop results
never existed in this county since its
decentralization Tribune.

A CAUTIOUS CLIENT.
nothing

A lawyer tells the following story of
a client, something of a wag in his
way, with whom he had long kept an
account. When the latter was finally
made up, the bill, mostly for trifling
services, covered several yards of fools
cap, as the iteme enumerated the most
minute details. When the client came
around to settle he refused to enter the
office, but stood in the door, and, hold
ing one end of the bill unrolled the vol
luminous document in the direction of
his legal adviser, with the request that
he receipt it.
"Come in,' said the lawyer in his
most cordial tones.
mo thank YOU" replied his client,
"you'd charge me rent if did."-ED.

The school board of Scott township,
Fremont county, was victimized last
week by a sharper who had majority
of the board sign what purported to be
a call for meeting to discuss the adj
visibility of buying some maps and

THE HORSE THIEF FOUND.

Charles II. Russell, who stole Team
from the BrattIebOro Livery Company
---VRnted In New York for Defraud-
ing n Hotel, in Boston for Forgeries,
and I'm Kansas city for BetrayIng n
Woman.
Chas. II. Russell, who stole team from
the BTattleboro Livery company i'm April,
is under arrest i'm New York city, but ii
will be a long time before he can be made
to answer for his crime here, owing to 9th
er charges against him The company
has telegraphed to New York, stating its
claim against him, and it is hoped that the
whereabouts of the stolen horse and car
riage can be traced
Russell stroled into the Hotel Bruins
wick in New York one day last week and
asked to have a room assigned him. He
patronized the bar freely, and had an elab-
crate dinner served i'm his room. He had
everything charged, and when bill was
presented to him refused to pay it, saying
that he had no money. lie was therefore
arrested. He then told his name and said
he was from Arlington, Mass.
When the New York authorities are
through with Russell he will be brought to
Boston to answer to charges of forgery.
During the winter of '91 Russell became
one of the best-known men about town in
Boston. He was neatly dressed and of fine
presence 1t is alleged that he worked
about every hotel i'm the city by running
up board bill and then paying the indebt-
edness with checks that were worthless
Personal friends also cashed checks for him
which on being presented to the banks
were found TO be fOrgeries. Russell is a
fine penman and in his youth was consid-
cred one of the most promising students
IN business college in Boston. When
very young he uttered forged checks, and
his father was compelled to send out of the
state and pay large sums of money to
meet his bills.
The crime for which Russell has served
a term in the penitentiary was stealing
jewelry. He led a wandering life in the
West, and became a favorite with the
guests of one of the leading hotels in Chi
cagO. Soon jewelry was missed from sew
eral rooms and the stealing was traced to
Russell, and he was sent to Joliet for three
years.
Russell is also accused of being a be-
trayer of the fair sex. His dashing man
ners won the heart of Linda Bowman of
Kansas City, and they were married in
1880. The wife was soon deserted, and
she alleges she was robbed of $500 and
obliged to pay S135 on a debt which Rus
sell contracted, and for which she pledged
her trunk and contents.
Russell belongs to one of the oldest and
best connected families in Arlington,
Mass, and he is a cousin of ex-Gov. VIM.
+. Russell of that state.
