Select the seed corn while the stalks
are standing in the field. Much can be
done by selection. over 100 bushels
of corn were raised on an acre in Mel
son County, Va, by a former member
of Congress by selection of seed Some
stalks contained from five to seven
ears. and grew to a height of fourteen
feet. This may appear remarkable,
and may not be repeated, but It shows
that in order to secure the largest yields
the seed corn must be selected every
year until the variety is made better.

been written in bis pessimistic mood,

feasibility, in an engineering and fnan-
cial sense Of making the canal, for this

engineers and capitalists. De Lessepa
examined the Nicaragua route and pro
nounced against it. According to re-

SAGASTA MAKES A
MOVE TC CHECK CARLOS
His Proposal To Dissolve the COrtcs
ana Make an Appeal TO the
peoUIc.

Madrid, Dec J5-There is an evident
feeling here that Don Carlos is nearing
the fruition of his ambition. Heroic meas
ures are necessary 10 prevent this, and the
greatest of these at the present moment
is the plan of Premier Sagasta to dissolve
the Cortes and appeal 10 the country.
Sagasta has prepared a favorable re-
sponse to the memorial recently present.
ed TO him by the congress of the Spanish
chambers of commerce held in Saragossa-
The congress asked for reform in provin-
cial municipal governments on the basis
of decentralization of local affairs from
the control of the national government.
The scheme of local governments and
the restoration of the ancient fueros or
feudal rights of communities were the
most alluring promises of reform held cut
by Don Carlos to the people of Spain to
win support to his claim for the throne
BY granting these municipal reforms Sa-
gasta hopes to effectually checkmate Don
Carlos strong play in many of the prov
inces. The new policy of the government
promises a broad and liberal local gov
ernment.
1T is reported that an order has been is
sued at st. Petersburg recalling Don ia
ties. Don Jaime is an officer in the Rus
sian army but has been ON an extended
leave, trying to help his fathers cam
paign for the throne OF Spain. He will
have to report at Warsaw.
