Once in ten days is perhaps about
the right thing as to frequency for
cultivating the cornfields. Tests
made along this line at the Kasas
Experiment Station have left little
doubt upon this point. IL the
weather were favorable we should
not hesitate, however, to cultivate
as often as once week if practicable
to do SO, while on the other hand
il conditions were unfayorable it
would be better to delay cultivating
for a few days. There is no good

case of the moro haste the less speed.
Cultivating twice a week showed no
better results than less number of

A Million Dollars.
One million dollars .

One million dollars
Few persons realize the immense
magnitude of this vast sum. When
the remark is heard that Mr.. So
and So is q millionaire in nine cases
out of ten neither the listener nor
the one making the statement has
any idea of what O million dollars
means. This is the age of magni-
tude, and at the present day peo-
pie speak of q million dollars as a
commonplace affair, without any
adequate idea of what they are talk
ing about.
The following figures, the result
of careful calculation, may give
the reader an estimate of how much
money there is in a million
IL one of Cincinnati's million
aires were to secure 1000, 900 in
nice, crisp one-dollar bills he would
find that if laid end to end his mil
lion dollars would cover the dist
ance of 12O miles, 1873 yards, 2 feet
and 8 inches, with a weight of one
ton seven hundred and fifty pounds.
But if the bills were piled up on
of each other they would reach the
height of 291 feet inches. 1t
would take an immense wagon hav-
ing capacity, in cubic measure
ment, of 1922 yards feet to car
ny the bills from the Treasury to
his storage room.
/ In silver dollars, a million laid
fiat on the ground, would make a

bulk would be "a tons, 1912 lbs.
In bright, shining twenty-dollar
gold pieces, new from the mint, a
million dollars would mean they
would weigh one ton, 1850 pounds.
Side by side there would be road
of golden double eagles 90 miles,
1880 yards, foot and inches in
length. These gold pieces placed
on top of each other would reach a
height of 131 yards, feet and 8
inches.
Another idea of the size of mil
lion dollars in silver may be OBJ
tanned when the fact is known that
if man were to work 10 hours q
day without intermission, counting
$4,000 within that time, it would
take him from the first day of Jan
uary to the twenty-fourth day of
February to complete the task

a mean trick had been played on
them.-Chicago Record.

work as if the place wasn't to be
turned over during the first week
in May.
The men who carried in the brick
and thing from the street were es-
pecially annoying to the owner of
the building. They moved about
at sleep and turtle-like pace. and
did not appear to be worried in the
