shallow cultivation so as to retain the
water supply in the soil. If there is
danger of the soil crusting over or
baking, cultivate corn and potatoes
even after the crop has set. Do not
cultivate deep so as TO disturb the
roots. Get manure onto the land rs
soon IA possible after it is made. Best
results are obtained by spreading on
grass land. 1t is easier to kill weed

the manure in the yard and less fertil-

but by fertilizing other stalks n poor
grade of corn is produced. The only
way to get rid of this feature is to take
great care in selecting and growing
the seed. The only way to do this is
to begin before the crop is planted.
Select good piece of ground away
from other fields of corn and large
enough to grow all the seed needed for
the following season. Determine what
variety you want to grow and fix in
your mind a favorite type. Plant seed
the first year and cultivate well. As
soon as possible cut ont all the poor
and weak stalks. When the ears be
gin to set go through the field and re-
move all the barren stalks. This will
take but short time and is easily
done with a corn knife or hoe. Leave
only two or three stalks in hill, pref
erably two, in order that each ear may
be fully developed. When the crop
is matured select the best developed
ears from the most vigorous stalks.
Store III secure place where the corn
will remain dry and where excessive
cold will not iniure it,
A good barn is all right, if care is
taken not to allow the rats or mice to
get into the bin. During the winter.
before seeding time, go over this corn
and select ears which come nearest to
the type which you have in mind. In
this way a uniformity will be secured
which will not only improve the APP
pearance of the crop after it is har.
vested, but will greatly increase the
yield. ID" this year by year and you

MANUFACTURES AND COLONIES.

The Policy of Nations Who Make More
Articles Than They Can Consume.
There has recently appeared under
authority Of the state department in
Washington table showing the rela-
tion which the colonies OF certain Eu-
ropean countries bear, to the home
country, and from it is seen that four
of the governments of Europe-Great
Britain, France, Holland and Portugal
have colonies larger in respect to
population than the home country,
while two other European govern
ments, Germany and Denmark, have
colonies larger in territorial area than
the home country. 1t is more than
coincidence that the governments
which have colonies are, for the most
part, those which are conspicuous in
manufacturing industries, while it is
observable that in nearly every case
the agricultural countries OF Europe,
notably Russia, Austria. Spain and
Sweden, either have no distant colonies
remote from the home country, or are
on the point of losing those colonies
which they have, and the same is true
of Italy and Turkey.
The figures show that all manufac-
turing countries under the impetus OF
steam power, electricity and modern
invention are able to produce consid-
erably more than their inhabitants
can consume and, the home market
being insufficient, recourse has been
had to foreign market artifcially
created by the colonial expansion OF
the kind now generally favored b.
those who are seeking TO get for
