that all the gentlemen employed at the

ago an attempt was made TO have the
unwritten law regarding mustaches re-
scinded, but it was found that greater

main in force than were in favor or Its
abolition.
This curious custom is also said to
prevail in some Of the large teahouses

pI AMI CORN.

Some of the sweet corn canning facto-
ries will not run the coming season,
Others will cut down their acreage more
or less. while in other cases many farm
ers refuse 10 plant on cut down price.
These causes combined will reduce the
acreage in sweet corn the coming year
very materially.
The fact Of y falling Of in the sweet
corn plant need not and should not be Il
reason for farmers To reduce the area
planted To this important farm crop.
The advantages of sweet corn "a y farm
crop over that of yellow corn, when all
conditions involved are taken into the ac-
count. have not been great st the price
paid by the Gamers In these later years.
~ that, though the sweet corn may be
out OF consideration, there Is still good
reason for planting corn. Every acre
thar the sweet corn falls of should be
made good with at least like area in
the yellow.
The importance of the corn crop in
farm economy cannot bee oyer-estimated.

Then plant corn. Plan for il now, thus
early in the season. The work will soon
be upon Us. Select a strong growing va
riety. Be sure the seed i good so that
il will start out vigorously from the first
and lose no time in getting under way.
There i vide difference in the way
that different kinds of corn start into
growth. Some starts out strong and as

ditions of wet or cold seem 10 have little
effect in retarding It's growth. Another
kind i weak and slow of growth till
hest and sunshine come 10 its support.
IL i plain which Is the better.
But any way, plant corn; plant II for
fodder, for the grain, for the silo, for
fall feeding and for winter use. The
falling of in sweet corn must not reduce
the area of this important Maine crop

cheAPeNlNG PRODUCTION.

Weighty as are the questions of the

United States treasury it is well for us
also TO remember that there is & business
side 10 our trade depression, side which
il Is the duty of our business men 10
consider, says the New York lndepend-
ent.
Prices of all kinds OF commodities had
begun steadily 70 fall before our panic.
The wears OF 1898 and 1894 reduced
prices still further, though they but ac-
celebrated "A movement which had already
begun. One OF the things we are called
upon TO face is the fact that prices Tor
All commodities, agricultural, mineral OF
manufactured, are low and are likely To
continue so.
But low prices are To be dreaded only
When they leave no margin OF proht.
For the moment at least there can be no
doubt that the decline In prices has In
many important instances passed the
line of profit. and, in many cases, OF ac-
tual cost. IL i upon this aspect oil the
question that we wish now 20 dwell.
In our theorizing upon the subject OF
the present depression we are too much
inclined 20 draw all our conclusions
from this matter of price, whereas the
question OF profit is equally important
our people are progressive aud ingen-
ious, ana IL would De strange indeed II
they did not lind some means OF so
production that they could
still retain living profit. We are told
by the consul-general at Argentina that
the net return To the farmer in the inte-
rior OF the Argentine Republic Is 81
cents per bushel of wheat In gold, about
the price which our own farmers In Da-
kota are now obtaining for their grain.
Now the growing of wheat Is not ques-
ton of price but OF profit. We stiIi De-
lieye that wheat can be grown IN the
United States as cheaply as In any coun-

laborers in Russian Siberia receive but

saw her proceeded to flirt with her, and
