ARTIFICIAL LAKE.

TO BE an Interesting Feature of Berlin's
Exposition Next Year.
One of the features of the Berlin In
dustrial exposition of next year will be
the beauty Of the grounds. One of the
most interesting changes now taking
place is the transformation Of the great
Fairgrounds in Treptow park into a lake.
About $4,000 cubic meters of earth will
have to be removed, and workmen are
now engaged i'll building the embank-
ment. A promenade, shaded by four
rows of plantain trees, already encir-
cles the proposed lake.
Powerful engines will supply the
water, which will fall in great cascades
into the lake and then flow into the
river Spree. Gondolas will ply in the
basin and tho neighboring waterways.
Artistic restaurants and music halls will
border the boulevard, the whole making
a scen2 which, it is expected, will rival
in beauty anything ever offered for pub
ic enjoyment at any Worlds fair.
One curious feature of this improve.
meat is found in the fact that Treptow
park must be restored to it's original
condition when the exposition is over.
In order to do this $4,000 square meters
Of sod must be stored, and the contract
ors find difficulty in obtaining place
to put it.-New York Times.

How to Raise More Corn.

How to Raise More Corn.
The following letter published
in the Albert Lea Standard may
be of interest to our farmers:
LAS I feel interested in the
welfare and prosperity of Mar
tin Co. farmers, I wish to make a
statement that I hope will prove
profitable to all who read it.
Some farmers in Ford Co., ILL.,,
made test case last year, in
thinning out their corn. One
farmer took 40 acres of corn with
2, 3. 4 and 5 stalks in a hill, most
~ 3. 4 and 5; he hired help at
81. % per day and pulled out the
smaller stalks untilit left 2 stalks
in a hill, no more, except 40 rows
that was left as it was planted.
The corn with two stalks in each
hill yielded so bushels to the acre,
the 2, 8, and 5 stalks in a hill
yielded As bushels to the acre,
the cost of thinning the corn was
SIS cents per acre and the profit
was Is bushels of corn at 40 cents
per bushel, $500.
This is no guess work, it pays
to use brains in farming, and a
similar result has been proven
in taking the suckers off the corn
last season being a dry season
suckers were more numerous.
We have had fine rains of late
and the farmers are now busy
thinning and suckering their
corn-would have done it earlier
had not dry weather have pre-
vented. Prospects are that We
will have full crop of corn, hall
a crop of oats and hay. Our
pastures are now green and will
give us summer and fall feed.
Now l ask any sensible farmer
will it pay to invest IS cents pei
acre to thin out your corn, and
in the fall put one fourth more
bushels in your corn crib, out OF
the same field. I will here state
to my tenants, if they cannot af
ford to thin out their corn, if they
will thin my one third 2 stalks il
a hill, I will hire men in the fall
to husk and crib my rent corn
and that is worth $3.50 per acre.
Yours truly,
E. F. EARL,
Paxton, Ills. July 8. 1895.
