Making Corn ROW. stratxht.

> Making Corn Rows Straight.
It does not pay to make crooked corn
rows, despite the well-known~ old say
ing that ''the most corn always grows
in crooked rows.' That is reminis-
cen}ce Of days when stumps and stones
obstructed the surface and made it i'm
possible to do neat work in marking
out. A strong horse, easy on the bit,
is necessary in doing good work in
marking rows. Still more is a clear
sight to the end of the field on the part
of the man driving the horse. Unless
the surface is very uneven four marks
can be made at once, of which the in
side one will follow the mark made in
going around last time. This makes
three rows for planting gained in going
across the field, and six in going and
returning. It does not take long to
mark out q large field in this way. But
It the surface is uneven, as most eastern
farms are, it is better to mark rows
with markers having only three teeth.

HOW TO RAISE ROOTS
An Expert Gives some distractions
Concerning the Planting Of
Mangel Wurgels.

At the Oceola (Mich.) county instl-
tute this winter E. A. Croman told his
method of planting and cultiyating
mangel wurzels. It is his object, notes
a writer in National Stool man, to grow
them as cheaply as posi- He adj
syised fall blowing, selecting land OF
deep loamy nature. Then in the spring
pillow deeply again and harrow thor.
ioughly at intervals before seeding 10
kill the weeds as they spring up. The
variety selected is the Golden Tankard.
The seed is put in with a hand drill
about corn planting time, in rows %
inches apart. Cultivating is done with
.a4 horse. When the plants are nicely up
Ra man goes through the patch with
sharp hoe, striking across the rows s.
little diagonally, cutting out the plants
to eight inches apart. "A boy follows
ITO pull out any remaining plants other
than those it is wished to retain and
also to remove any weeds that may be
in the rows. Unless it is q very weedy
soil it will not be necessary to go over
the roots more than two or three times
with cultivators, as when once started
the plants grow very rapidly. In the
fall the roots are topped by means Of
sharp hoes. "A wagon is driven into the
field dthe tops thrown thereon with
common four tined forks and, carried
to. the barn to be fed to cattle. The
rows of roots are SO spaced that an orr:
binary wagon can be driven over two
rows, the wheels passing outside of
them, the horses walking in the same
rows where the wheels are. After the
tops are all removed from the field the
pulling of the roots begins, and here
comes the part that will be new to
many. An ordinary 40 or 6O-tooth drag
unemployed for this purpose, and does
the work well. The Golden Tankards
grow largely above the surface OF the
ground, and the teeth of the drag pull
them out nicely, breaking off but a
small percentage. The roots are then
tossed into wagons by means of the
four-tined forks and carried to the root
cellar. Mr.. Croman feeds mangels to
all his farm animals, even the chickens
being very fond of them. He never cuts
these roots in feeding stock and says
cattle, sheep, horses and hogs bite
them into pieces to suit themselves.
He can grow mangels very cheaply in
this way. The amount grown on an
acre is simply immense and they form
a valuable adjunct in keeping stock
through the winter in good condition.

Stock Company Formed.

Z. I. LeClair and F. G. Barrows have
returned to Minneapolis from the
Rainy Lake mining country more firm
~ convinced than ever that that dis
trlct will soon see some of the richest
gold mines in the world. .
Not only is Mr.. LeClair convinced of
this, but he has succeeded in convinc-
ing several Eastern people that there
is money in the ground about Rainy
Lake, and at Rat Portage last week
there was effected the. organization of
the Boulder Gold Mining company Of
Ontario, with a capital of s., 600, 600, =.
The property owned by the company
is one of the richest about Rainy Lake
and was discovered several years ago
by one of the LeClair brothers It is
situated about IS miles southeast of
Rat Portege- Its shaft is now down
225 feet and the work is being crowded
to the 5O0-foot level On the 200 foot
level cross cuts have exposed 60 feet Of
milling pay ore, q most remarkable
showing. When the 5OO-foot level is
reached a so-stamp mill will be erected.

The Farmers Best Friends.

&
! An editor, who was brought up on q
farm and keeps up a lively interest in
matters pertaining to agriculture says:
'''Hawks: and owls are about the best
friends farmers have. They live chiefly
on field mice and rats and keep these
destructive pests within reasonable
limits. Their depredations on poultry
are nothing in comparison with the
good they do in saving crops. For
similar reasons the non-venomous
snakes, the toads, frogs and birds are
among the best friends the farmer can
possibly have. They are all insect and
pest destroyers, and if it were not for
them It would not be possible to raise
crops Of any kind. No farmer. can af-
foIrduto kill these friends Of agricul.
ture." !, + ~ ~ \

CHICKEN L.A:Nl'IGlUAGE


Chickens speak in language that
human ears learn readily to compre-
bend. For, the most sparts it Il instinc-s
tive. a fuzzy toddle hours out

first and loudest Of them is the lost,

somewhat thus: E ff.. Y eap!+ Yeeap! Yee-

ing: aWit-wit! Wit-wit! IVit-wit-

note is somewhat like that Of hunger,
with peculiar tremolo, breaking it in
the middle: "Yee-pl-leepl! Yee-pl-lee-
pl!'"'.does not fully represent ,it,5but
comes as near as the limitations of
vowels and oonsonants admit. The
fifth note, the cMr-r-r of fright or as
tonishment, is. the quaintestl Of all.
This chir-r develops at last in the graft
ing call of warning, at sound of which
from their mother. even the youngest
scatter and scutter to cover. Any
thing, a bird, a kite, even q very small
passing cloud, sailing in the sky over
head, will evoke this warning cry. Let
one hen sound it, every other will take
it up: Often the alarm is a false one,
but centuries Of hawks have impressed

able to discriminate, but let it follow
for a day and it is past making mis-

hens. ability to ditferentiate her brood

Upon finding food a hen calls he1
chicks somewhat thus: ''Co-cu-co-cu

THE AMERICAN PLAN.
Outline OF Scheme for Arbitration
Proposed by Our Delegates
Adopted by Subcommittee.

The Hague, June both sections of
the disarmament committee met
Wednesday and, as was anticipated,
failed to agree with regard to the ,qnes-
tons of new inventions in ornaments.
The drafting committee of the arbitra-
ton committee made some advance.
The American delegates submitted
their scheme relating to an arbitration
tribunal. The plan differs from the
British proposal. In substance it is as
follows:
1t provides that each country shall ap-
point a single arbitrator, to be selected by
the supreme courts of the signatory pow
ers. The tribunal shall have permanent
centralsseat, and be composed of at least
three judges. who shall not be natives or
residents Of countries belonging to the
powers in disaccOrd. The general expenses
shall be shared proportionately. In the
event of new facts arising within three
months Of a decision, the same tribunal
shall have power to try again the ques-
tons in dispute. Recourse to the tri-
bunal shall be optional for the signatory
powers. The tribunal shall not take cog
niZance OF any dispute until assured that
the parties concerned will accept its de-
cision. The convention shall come into
force ana the tribunal be eSta bl1Shed when
nine powers. eight of whom shall be Eu-
ropean or American and four Of whom shall
be signatories of the declaration of Paris,
1856, shall have adhered to the conV ention.
Apart from the above project, the
Americans proposed special scheme
of mediation, providing that, in the
event of difference arising between
two powers, each shall choose another
power to act as its second. The powers
thus selected shall do all they can to
reconcile the opponents. These Sec
ending powers shall, even when war
has broken out, continue their efforts
with a view of ending hostiiities as
soon as possible. ,s3S sss% I

Climate and Crop Bulletin.

There were showers, except on the
22d and s2sd, though they were some
what local as regards place and
amount; those ON the 26th and 9th
were much heavier in the south, where
there were thunder storms, which in
the extreme southeastern counties
were accompanied by high winds and
excessive rainfalls, which filled the
creeks.
Most of the week was very favorable
in the Red River valley for healthy
growth, and for finishing the wheat
seeding: The flax, some barley and
little oats are still to be seeded, but
because of wet weather and delay
earlier in the season, large areas of
undrained counties will not be seeded
this year. All the small grains are re-
ported in splendid condition; and the
stooling of wheat and oats continues.
Winter rye is generally thin and it is
heading short. Corn planting is near
ly finished, and in favorable localities
it is coming up slowly.
