year there was practically no benefit.
In Nebraska, detasseling resulted In
decreased yields. Here the tassels
were cut off instead Of being pulled
out, as was the case in New York. In
Maryland the yield was decreased by
the practice. In Kansas the detasseled
fields produced slightly the most corn.
In Illinois tests We're made during two
years. In both cases it was evident
that no greater yield was produced by
rows that had been detasseled.
1t will DO seen, therefore, that the
question has by no means been de-
cided. but must be more fully investi-
gated. One thing, however, is certain,
the ordinary farmer can with profit

PREPARATIONS FOR SOWING.

Best Methods OF Getting Ready to
Put In Fall Wheat.
The best soil for wheat is a rather
compact clayey lean, we'll drained; but
quite sandy soil can be made to produce
fair crops by good culture. To prepare
ground for wheat it should be broken
deeply, not later than the middle of Au-
gust; earlier would be better. While
the breaking should be deep, we must
not forget to do it in time, so the
crop of green stuff turned under, let 1t
be weeds, clover. or whatever it may,
will have a sufficient time to be well
decaycl and the soil settled into the
proper condition to SOW to wheat. All
weeds should be Kept down after break
ing till time for sowing by frequent
harrowings and rolling, by which time
the soil shall be fine ana free from
clods. To prepare corn .:rCLId, ii the
corn has been cultivated as it should

.or nothing is lost by getting the ground
in condition before seeding to any kind
of seed. But if the corn can he got
out of the way in time, prefer break
ing the corn ground. and then working
down to the right condition by means
of good harrow and roller, as stated
above. think that IL seed bed for
wheat should be broken deep and then
packed by narrowing and rolling. but
the harrow should be run ahead Of the
drill to furnish loose, fine dirt to cover
the wheat, which should not be deeper
than one and one-half inches. The
best time for sowing has been with us
for the last few years from the 1st until
about the middle of Scpembcr. AS to
quantity, 1 think that one and one
fourth bushels to the acre is the best.
AS to fertilizer, about $50 or 200 pounds
of good raw bone should be drilled
with the wheat in our section to make
a good crop of neutrality-suspicious.

The Qucstion Of Fodder.

With our regularly recurring drouths,
the problem of summer foods for live
stock must receive attention from all
progressive farmers. 1t will not do to
let our stock suffer for want of suffi-
cient food even in midsummer, as so
many did last year. Cows most quick
ly show the effects of this deprivation,
as scant pasturage never fails to make
sllrinkage in the flow of milk.
Probably this is quite generally un-
derstood ut this time; yet l find very
many farmers and dallymen making
no provision for summer feeding. I
wish to urge it upon all-grow a small
piece. at least of corn for feeding your
cows in July and August.
The best way to do this is to fit
piece of good land, as near the barn as
possible, on account Of convenience in
feeding. Manure or fertilizer of some
kind is essential in order to secure 4
quick, vigorous growth. Put in drills
or hills; never SOW broadcast-the
plants are sure to be spindling and turn
yellow. Cultivate as for field corn.
Cut as needed and see how it will be
appreciated, both by the cows and their
owner next summer. Sweet corn pos
sesses slight advantages over field corn
for this purpose. tits more palatable;
but the cows will eat any variety with
out question and leave scarcely vcs-
tige of the stalk. We feed in the barn
IN the managers, each COW receiving her
own ration.
Last year when the hay crop failed,
saw l was going to be short Of
provender; so removing crop of barley
put in the plows and turned the stub
bic under and drilled it to dent corn
the Goth of July.
1t was an experiment with me, but
figured on about eight weeks of growth
and determined to try it. knew of no
reason why corn might not grow in Au-
. gust and September as well as in June
and July.
The rains which came in August
helped it wonderfully and never saw
corn grow faster than that did. 1t was
dragged two or three times, but not
cultivated. When well started the drill
was put in and winter rye sown be-
tween the rows of corn. Commercial
fertilizer was also drilled in. When
cutting time came had corn above the
fence tops, all tasseled out.
1t was cut and bound with grain
binder, set in shocks and left in the
field until cured. The rye made some
fall seed and is now in shape for spring
pasturing. shall feed it in this way
until planting time and then turn it
under and put into corn again about
June 1 this year. AS you see, got
the same as three crops off that land
last year-the barley, the fodder corn
and the rye pasturage.-W. @. Rock

DOWN ON THE PIE.
A Crusade Against the Great Ameri.
can Article of Diet

Crusade Against the Great Ameri.
can Article of Diet.
Interesting news is published that
Mrs. Abby Morton Diaz Of Boston, the
distinguished author and philanthro-
pist, has opened crusade against the
star article Of New England diet, the
homemade pie.
The lady, both in her individual ca
pacity and also as one Of the leaders
Of the Educational and Industrial
union, has taken up arms against the
immoral dish and proposes to drive it
out of the domestic economy She has
taken up new mode Of attack, which
shows great ingenuity and talent on her
part, and which will appeal to million
housekeepers. 1t is that the trouble
and labor involved in a homemade pie
are much greater than the good gotten
out of it, or, in other words, that the
game is not worth the candle.
What with using marble-top tables,
ice and ice water to chill the ingredi-
ents. measuring and gradually mixing,
rolling. douri1g, and rerolling, refour-
ing and rerolling, fitting, cuttinng. re-
filling, covering, fastening and baking
a single home made pie requires more
labor than a dish twenty times as eX
Quisite, expensive and elegant.
So far as health is concerned. Mrs
Diaz wisely refrains from any definite
accusation, it is said, excepting that the
lower crust is apt to be wet, heavy and
perhaps not so digestiblc as it might be.
This is the weak spot of her assault,
and will meet with indignant replies
from every part of the land.
Even the scientist Of to-day who has
studied the question holds that pie,
when invented, was very dangerous,
and often deadly. On some occasions
it produced epidcmics that were
charged to the action of an inscrutable
Providence. But in the course of years
the American, and especially the New
England people, became adapted to
their pie environrscnt just as the Gu
bans are climatized to yellow fever
Even ut the present time in New Eng
land this difference is easily noticed by
comparing the vital statistics Of natives
and citizens of Irish and Canadian
birth. The mortality among the
natives is only about Is per mill, while
that of the foreigners ranges from 80
to 40 per mill. The difference shows
the effect Of pie upon the systems un-
used to it.
There is also a suspicion that Mrs.
Diaz is in league with the French cooks
and that she may lie getting up Il pate
syndicate or Il pastry crust trust. The
love Of pie is now an American instinct,
so that it is obvious that if the home
made pie is driven to the wall the
bakers pie and the pastry cooks pie
will take the market all to themselves.

had braced the building rs well as
they could, and were waiting their
fate. When the two reports sounded
they felt sure it was a signal and
Emma joe Che last worked at the En-
ma mine) said: "Rouse up, boys. Here
Is rescue sure"
At first, they afterward told me, 1t
had not occurred to them that any one
came down through the conduit. They
thought Il shaft had been sunk and that
the first object Encountered was the COLI
duit. They ran to it and hammered
q dull reply, and there was no mis-
take as whence it cams. Bill could
only kick with his boot.
Weak and exhausted. they worked
with desperate earnestness. and after
some time removed the turbine. Down
dropped Bill among them.
'',Tlank God! it's Gov. Bilw said
Emma Joe. And then these rough,
reckless men sobbed with joy.
"What's that, Bill?" Joe inquired.
"Its the snow settling. There is a
Chinook above. Come, hurry, you fell
lows, and we will leave this pace"
The first man to go attached the rope,
pulled at it and was hauled upward.
And the snow continued to settle.
Then two more were rescued and
the rope returned.
''GO ahead, Bill"
"No, you, Joe. Hurry"
"Why, old man, so anxious?"
"Jitst because the fellows above
want to see you. Joe," he almost plead
ed. Joe afterward said that Bill look
ed male at this time and assumed ill.,
difference.
"The heavy snow might crush the
fume, Bill"
"lt won't crush it,
"Well, then, here goes. Good-by."
When Bill replied Joe said that he
smiled like a woman.
Joe barely passed the point where
the wooden flunle was united to the
conduit. The normal strain was sep
arating them, the angle between them
was becoming sharper and sharper,
but he bent his body and thus passed
through. Then. with horrible feel
ing, he thought of Bill. "And this is
why he hurried u.s." he groaned.
This was the reason. Bill noticed the
break when he descended, and he
knew what the creaking sounds from
the conduit meant. but he never told
the others. When Joe reached the sur
face, he barely whispered, "Hurry and
lower the rope"
Too late!
The weight at tc ropes end lodged.
Joe knew where.
And then the miners dug with frenzy,
for Bill was the pride Of the camp.
When the shaft sunk through the
snow and reached the mill it was
crushed. The strain upon it due to the
watered snow had been too great.
! Gov. Bills body was found, revolver
in hand, and this told story. Two
days later there was as impressive a
funeral at the Last Chance camp as
was ever seen on the frontier. They
buried him, not in worny earth, but
deep in the frasmentary rock Of q

For your Projections -Catarrh ''Cures" or
Tonies for Catarrh in liquid form to be taken
internally, usually contain either Mercury or
Iodide of Potassa, or both, which are injur-

passages, affecting eyes, ears and throat.
Cold in the head causes excessive flow Of
mucus, and, if repeatedly neglected, the re-
suits of catarrh will follow; severe pain in
the head, q roaring sound in the ears, bad
