1 WAS STILL ALIVE.

1t was finality, and curious con-
Gciousness came over me than now, if
we could get ashore, there would be no
more patrolling or anything else, in
fact, but universal peace and brother
hood. Two or my front teeth were
knocked out, sharp pain began to
assert itself in my arm, one eye was
closed, and 1 saw with the other my
own blood dripping from rent girder
IN front OF me, How I freed myself
and got 10 the companionway l do
not know, but 1t was with the distinct
impression that events had reached
the ultimate crisis.
You can but imperfectly understand
the revelation that war made of itself
as / emerged upon the deck and heard
the regular heave and throb of the
high-pressure engine, and saw that we
were still patrolling; that the officer
of the deck was looking calmly
through glass at the shore, and herd
him say: Take that man for'ard and
pull the splinters out of him, and pipe
all hands to repair damages" In one
brief minute 1t came upon me that war
paid no sort of Difference to my feel
ings; that it was our business to patrol
until we were sunk, and when we were
sunk some other boat would take our

which was listed before and vice versa.
This changes the land from corn to
small grain each year and the ground is
plowed every fourth year, raising In the
meantime one crop Of planted corn, one
OF listed corn and two Of small grain.
BY this method 1t Ia only necessary to
plow half the ground for corn each year,
whereas. II the farmer lists all his ground
until the soil has become so compact as
to render stirring necessary, he must
plow all the ground at once or list a
part under unfavorable circumstances,
The combined lister and drill which
was formerly used extensively Is going
out OF favor. The practice of opening up
the ground with the lister, with sub
soiler attached, some time before plant
ing is now practiced to a considerable
extent. The corn is then drilled with
the improved planters which can be set
to fit the lister rows. This plants twice
as fast as the one-hOrse drill and in
more satisfactory manner The advan-
tages claimed for this method are: A
much better seed-bed can be furnished
in this way than with any combined ma
chine, especially II the ground is listed
deeply and then a part OF the soil har-
rowed back into the ditch. It allows
the soil to become thoroughly warmed
up before the seed Is placed in the
ground. The soil Is given time to settle
SO that there is much less danger Of
heavy rains covering the growing corn,
as Is often the case with the old method.

Seasonable Hints.

II the barn made manure has not been
put on the land, or at least II 1t Is not
under cover where 1t Is protected from
the action of the weather, you are de-
liberately rObblng yourself OF part of the
income from the farm.
All dumb animals are provided with an
instinct which 1t quite as acute in its
way as mans reasonoing, and they will
respond in various ways to kindness and
humane treatment and quickly show 1t
when the reverse Is given them.
Small fruits and vegetables are luXu-
ries which farmers may have at the
cost of little time and labor, but city
folks pay for them in money earned by
labor much harder than what you ex-
pend in raising them. Don't live wholly
on pork and potatoes when such food as
berries and fresh vegetables can be
raised at so small a cost.
Remember that 1t Is not the fat hog
of great weight that brings you in the
most money, but the one fatted to the
point where 1t will cut up like the Irish
pork with "a streak Of fat and streak
Of lean" Such animals bring more per
pound and are produced at much less
cost, so that you make profit both ways.
Bees cared for during the winter in
the cellar are not in such good shape
for early spring work as those which
were protected in hives out of doors.
They should not, therefore, be allowed
to fly out OF doors too early. Provide
food for them inhiVes until they are
strong enough to work for themselves
on the warm days, the only ones on
which they should be let out.

American Corn Abroad.

The national Secretary Of Agriculture
Is heartily in favor OF intelligent effort
looking to further opening Of Euro
pean markets to American corn. He is
in hopes that Congress will provide a
sufficiently large appropriation for the
agricultural exhibit at Paris Exposition
to warrant an extensive display Of corn
and its products, including efficient dem
onstratoTs and cooks who will show Wis
itOrs in practical and substantial way
what good American corn bread, corn
cakes, etc., are like. He says on this
subject:
Il do not look for any particularly in
creased purchase Of corn abroad among
the poorest classes. 1t is quite gener-
all supposed that the poor laboring man
of Europe, when he Is shown the tooth
sOmeness and cheapness Of corn, will
readily substitute it for the rye and oats
and wheat he now eats. do not look for,
this at all. This class make their meals
from one article of diet, be it wheat, rye
or oats. They live on but one staple.
They must have an article which will
supply them sufficient nitrOgenous mat
ter to enable them to do a days work
and hard days work. This they find
in rye, in wheat or in oats. They will
not find it, however, in corn. Corn Is
fattening and contains large percent
age Of carbOnaceous matter, but will not
replace the tissues wasted by toll to the
extent that rye and oats and wheat will
Therefore, look rather to see corn in
trOduCed among the better classes, who
can afford more than one article on
their tables and who will appreciate the
sweetness and whOlesomeness and vari-
alton of a partial corn diet but who will
not be dependent upon it solely for nour-
ishment."
The Advocate and news., 1898-03-30
Listing Corn.

Where the soil and climate are suitable
so as to make listing corn practicable
there are some advantages in listing
over the fiat or check-row system of
planting. In listing the corn Is rooted
deeper in the ground, stands up better
in the fall and better resists the drought
and hot winds of summer. With good
stand and proper cultivation listed corn
will generally yield more per acre than
corn which is fat planted. Mr.. J. L.
Billups, In Orange Judd Farmer, gives
the following sensible suggestions in
regard to listing corn and rotation Of
crops:
Listing has been called the lazy mans
way Of planting corn, but whether this Is
so or not depends on the conditions un-
der which 1t is practiced. 1t is true that
some have listed the same field year
after year until the yield has been
greatly reduced, but under proper condi-
tions this method of planting has been
very successful in the naturally porous
soils Of Kansas and Nebraska. Land
which has been continually listed for
number of years may be mellow enough
on the surface or as deep as the culti-
vatOr shOvels penetrate, but below it is
apt to become too compact. For best
results the soil should be reasonably
mellow to a depth of ten or twelve
inches.
A very good rotation for this section,
suppose one were farming eighty acres,
is as follows: Plant the small grain on
the stalk ground without plowing Grain
planted this way seems to yield as well
or better than when the ground is
plowed, provided the surface is stirred
sufficiently to. destroy weeds. Plow and
plant half the stubble for corn and list
half each year, always blowing that
The Advocate and news., 1898-03-30

ground can be worked in the spring
and every week thereafter for succeeding
crops. Sow the seed in drills about
foot apart One ounce Of seed will SOW
about 100 feet in the row. Keep the
surface OF the ground cultivated and free
from weeds. Radishes should be crisp,
tender and succulent and this can only
be secured by rapid growth from the
time the seed starts to grow until the
gathering OF the radishes. AS soon as
any are large enough to use thinning
should begin by pulling the largest and
thus making room for the others to grow.
A small piece Of ground will grow great
many radishes, and bed FIVE or six feet
square in the back yard or in warm
corner of the garden will grow an abun-
dance in variety and quantity for family
use, and beds OF this size planted at in
terVals Of a week or ten days will sup
ply the table throughout the season with
this palatable and wholesome vegetable.

Growing Radlshes.

1t is not hard matter to grow rad
ishes If three things are observed-good
seed, rich soil and good care. 1t does
not pay to use poor seed for poor rad
ishes will be the result. The ground
should be mellow and moist and for
early radishes seed should be sown in
warm sheltered location. If after the
seed is sown the ground is covered over
with dry brush the heat of the day
will be better retained through the cool
nights and the radlshes will make a more
rapid growth. For early varieties the
Early White and Early Scarlet Turnip
or olive-shaped are the best and quick
est to grow. The French Breakfast is
also OliVe-shaped, very crisp and tender
and rapid grower. For later varieties
the Long Scarlet Shorttop and the Char
tier are among the best. For earliest use
seed should be sown as soon as the

it has attracted much attention, ripen-
ing about the middle Of August. The
fruit is large, selected specimens meas
uring seven inches in circumference.
The skin is yellow with red cheek
and is rather tough in texture, The
flesh is Arm, of fine quality and the fruit
keeps we'll, characteristics which ought
to make the variety popular.
This peach was introduced some years
ago by Professor Budd, of the Iowa Ag-
ricultural college, along with many other
varieties from BOkara, Asia, and Is
known as Bokara No. 3, all the others
having been discarded as worthless. 1t
is freestone and Is worthy Of trial in
all the peach-growing sections of the
West. This peach can now be obtained
from any reliable nurseryman, and care
should always be used to see that what
ever is planted Is true to name.

BILE OF the sower, the direct agency OF
Satan In this parable Of the tares. Evil
and false teaching Is attributed directly
to his influence; Of him are wicked and
evil-produCing men, who are the children
Of the wicked one, as good men are the
children OF the kingdom, Of God and
seed sown by God. Abbott.
For their (the sons Of the kingdom)
sakes the world Is preserved now, and
for their sakes 1t will be destroyed when
the set time 10 come. The darnel Is per-
mitted to grow in it's season, and In har-
vest is cast into the flre--both for the
sake of the wheat. Because Christ loves
his own, he permits the wicked to run
their course in time; but because Christ
loved his own, he will separate the
wicked from the good at last. ."--ArnOt.
Now, the point of the parable is not
that obviously wicked men are to live
on as recognized subjects OF Chrlst's
kingdom, regarded as a definite organi-
Zati0n, !. O., as members Of his churches,
but that he suffers them, under or dur
ing his reign, to live on In the world,
instead Of being at once destroyed, as
the Jews expected. This would explain
to the disciples, for example, why he
who could work miracles had that morn
ing allowed himself to be insulted and
blasphemed, and had only given SOL
emn warning, instead OF blasting with
instant destruction. 1t would also give
another reason why the messianlc work
was moving slowly. - Broadus.
