Shallow Culture of Corn.

Experiments at the Missouri station
show that by shallow tillage the mois-
ture within the first foot of soil is larger
in dry seasons than in similar deep till
ed plots. This is presumably due to the
fact that the mulch formed by shall
low tillage implement is more evenly
distributed over the surface, more uni
form i'll depth, more perfect, and there
by more effective than from the ordi-
nary deep tilling cultivators When these
deep tillage implements are used. the
fine earth that should be spread evenly
over the surface is instead thrown in
ridges, and the burrows are left bare to
evaporate the moisture.
In the best corn growing sections of
Missouri some form of shallow tillage
is almost universally practioed now,
whereas ten years ago this system was
ridiculed by the most experienced corn
growers

JOSIAH CIRCUIT.
Life is too short to waste one day of it
sick abed, grumpy or ailing.
Indigestion, nervousness and rheuma
tism make one old before ones time, take
the heart out of work, and make one a
burden at home and a bore to ones
friends. Everyone owes it to his family,
to his friends, to his success and happi-
ness to get strong and stay so.
WORKOUT nerves bring on more ill
health and disease than all other causes
put together. In their impoverished con-
dition they cause the blood to become
thin, weaken the digestion and make the
heart work with difficulty. The main
factor in eradicating neuralgia, rheuma-
tsm, nervousness, headaches and sleep
lessness from the system consists in MAX
ing the nerves stronger. Paine's celery
compound is the nerve invigorator par.
excellence. Better nerve nutrition plays
the principal part in the successful treat
ment of liver, kidney and heart disease,
as we'll as nervous diseases.

After Seeding Wheat.

According to Orange Judd Farmer, it
is often good plan to harrow the
ground after seeding if it has not been
fined enough before the wheat was
sown. 1t will not hurt the grain to har-
row the ground after the wheat is up.
Wheat that is four inches high will not
be injured by narrowing with peg
toothed harrow. If it rains after the
wheat is seeded and before it is four or
five inches high, narrowing the ground
after it has dried sufficiently will usual
ly prove beneficial. In that case the
harrow loosens the surface of the soil
and prevents the loss of water by evap-
grafton at time when the wheat is not
high enough to mulch and shade the
ground we'll

Appetite of the Florida Alligator.

The Florida alligator has an appetite
that is hard to appease. A fisherman,
weary with i'll luck, pulled off his boots.
stretched himself on the rivers green
bank and went TO sleep. A saurian in
search of dinner spied the sleeping
fisherman, crawled up the bank, swal-
lowed him and retired in good order.
But after a time he remembered that
the late fisherman's boots were also re-
posing on the bank. A dinner without
dessert was no dinner at all, so he re-
turned TO taper off ON the boots. But
while he was in the act of swallowing
them another fisherman, recently ar
rived, shot him dead. Probably the
moral in this story is, ''Some alligators
never know when they have enough. "

New Notion. In Grnrting.

New ideas in grating will be readily
adopted by all fruit growers. The long
accepted method of cutting the CRAFTS
in winter and keeping them in sand, to
be used on outside trees, has been found
excellent from experience, but Mis-
souri, fruit grower states that he has OBJ
tanned better results with plum gratis
that were cut in spring and grated an
hour after cutting, while apple CRAFTS,
cut and used the same day, did not give
a single failure. When testing the plan
of cutting and using CRAFTS ON the same
day, it should be done with few until
satisfied that the results will be success
full. Prairie Farmer.

A recent railroad wreck in North
Carolina was caused in peculiar way.
A colored man wanted to get ride and
tried to jump train of empty fiat cars.
He missed the car and fell across the
track, where the wheels of several cars
passed directly over him. His body
threw two of the cars off the track, and
the strangest part of it is that after the
cars had run over him the man was able
to get up and walk away. As he looked
around him he was heard to exclaim

Lessen Your Wants.

More of the true enjoyment of life
lies in this maxim than is generally
thought. Wemay indeed go to extremes
and cut to the quick, like that cynic
philosopher who threw away his wood
en- cup on seeing a vagrant boy drink
from the hollow of his hand But the
truth is we create many of our own ne
cessities, and with the growth of luxury
new wants come in, not by ones, nor by
tens, but by hundreds. -New York

The present Governor of the Green
Mountain State, though born in Canada,
has lived in Vermont since he was years
old. His course at the st. Johnsbury
Academy was interrupted in 1861 by his
enlisting in Co. /, LIST Vermont cavalry.
He was mustered in as second lieutenant,
promoted to captain the following year,
and in 1884 made major Of the Goth New
York cavalry.
At tn g close of the war be entered the
law office of his brother, Gen. Grout, and
was admitted to the bar. His service in
the Vermont legislature embraced the
years 1872, 'S3, 'S6 and 49, He was
Speaker of the House for three years and
Senator in 1892.
Gov Grout is deeply indebted to Paine's

which he to-day enjoys. He expresses
his conviction of the value of the great

First Battle With Denver.

There will be pitched battle Sat
urday night at the opera house be-
tween the Denver Y. NJ. C. A. Basket
Ball boys and our local crack team.
Denver thus far has met an easy
victory in her contests in the state
tournament, but when she tackles our
Tigers we will promise her an inter
esting time, to say the least. 1t will
be no walk-over such as she expert
enced with Colorado Springs. We
are free to admit that Denver has
much advantage over us in the num-
ber of good men from whom to pick,
there being eight teams in the Denver
association at the time of the organi-
zation of state team. But our boys
are not te be discounted. Every man
is a skillful player and were we to
displace single man it would be diff
cult to make choice. Unquestiona-
bly, these teams are a little the finest
in the state, and as to which is the
best will be decided on Saturday
night.
The Denver delegation will arrive
Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock.
Professor Haskell, the physical direc-
tor, will accompany his men. Both
sides are making strong preparations
for the event and it can truthfully be
said that it will be the finest contest
of the state this year. Tickets will
be placed on sale Wednesday, and
persons desiring choice seats should
reserve them early at Palmer's drug
store.
Unfortunately the ladies' team from
the Denver High school has decided
not to come down. A telegram to
that effect was received Monday. Is
it possible that they had got an
inkling of the fact that Miss Browns
team had been doing great deal of
faithful and systematic practice dur
ing the past month? The afternoon
game must consequently be cancelled.

The Grand Army to the Front.

Greenwood Post of this city is pre-
pairing for gigantic enterprise that
will raise large sum of money to be
placed in the hands of their relief
committee and the Woman's Relief
Corps, and if necessary nurses and
medical stores will be sent to the
front to be used for the benefit of
our own brave boys who will volun-
teer in their country's defense.
The old soldiers of the war of
'61'65 well know that thousands of
their comrades died from wounds and
disease that might have been saved
had kindly hand with some of the
little home comforts reached them in
tins. To prepare for this the patri-
otic veterans who are too old to take
an active part in the field are arrang-
ing for this enterprise. They sent
for Colonel Lew Ginger, a gentleman
who has made the most wonderful
success of this work and who arrived
in the city Monday and at once pro-
ceeded to arrange the preliminaries
for a mammoth fair and series of en-
tertainments to take place in the
opera house May II, Is, 10, day and
evening. Colonel Ginger is personally
known to a large number of our
prominent citizens and a record of
his work is in the hands of the
Grand Army here and it shows that
he has placed in the hands of their
order over two hundred thousand dol
lars by these enterprises in the past
nine years. To show what great
success he can make even in small
places he closed fair in Fort Collins,
Colo, three weeks ago and the receipts
were nearly nineteen hundred dollars,
and that city is only about one-half
the size of Canon City.
The citizens and the e. A. r. of
this city who are acquainted with
Colonel Ginger and his methods are
enthusiastic over the prospects of a
grand success of the enterprise here
and that the business men and citi-
zens will prove their patriotism by
endorsing it goes without saying.
Not only will this city be interested
in this, but all the towns in this
vicinity will help Greenwood Post in
this laudable and patriotic affair.
