Trust Which Needs Working Capital.
From the Springfield Republican,

The American Mailing company or trust
is hardly two years old, and yet is out so
quick with a proposed bond issue of a, 000,-
900 to take up floating debt and acquire
needed working capital. This is disturb
ing TO the Wall-street touters for the COM
binations. The mailing trust was very
generously capitalized, and IL In times of
prosperity it must borrow working capital,
and is compelled to run so far in debt that
bonds must be issued TO meet floating OBJ
legations, how would such concerns fare in
dull tlmesP The trusts have yet TO meet
the full test Of experience.

We are III the habit Of supposing
that the same plant grown III differ
ent localities is still the same plant n
all essential qualities. But that this
is not the case is demonstrated in
many things and in many ways. Grass
seed produced in England and sown IN
this country may not in a single sea-
son produce a grass or hay differing
very widely from the original. but il
the process goes on for number OF
years the differences begin to appear
and establish themselves as qualities.
1t was probably in this way all kinds
and varieties of plants have been pro
duced in the lapse of ages, from few
primeval forms. Central and Northern
Europe have a moister climate than
has the United States, and this may
have much to do in establishing GER
tain habits in the plants. Certain it is
that the hay produced in Europe con-
tains less heterogeneous matter and
more of the carbohydrates. There Is
also less celiulOse in the American hay

Dismembering the Corn Plant.

| A good many experiments have been
made to determine if anything could
be gained by cutting off portions of
| the corn plant during growth Some
| times il has been the roots. sometimes
the part of the plant above the ears.
and sometimes only the tassels. A
| part Of the experiments have seemed
to give fair results, but others have
given decidedly bad results. a third
| class Of experiments has Eeen without
result. 1t is probable that what little
good was obtained was a mere acct
dent, for the reason tina. two plats OF
corn will never yield exactly the same
even though all conditions are exactly
Identical. But the trials have proved
that at least nothing is gained, and
experience would seem to teach that
there must be an actual loss. A gen
Grafton ago it was the practice in some
parts of the country to cut off tbs
whole of the corn plant above the ears
Immediately after the silk and the
pollen were supposed to have done
their work. The farmer thus got n
great deal of fodder for his cattle, and
imagined that his corn plant woulG
elaborate the same weight Of ears
without the top as with it, No notice
was taken CT the fact that the foliage
of plant is needed for the elaboration
Of the grain Of the plant It is prob
able that in most cases the yield OF
corn was greatly decreased by this
practice. The custom without doubt
remains to-day. especially in the East
ern states, where the fields are 50
small in area that the practice OF thus
robbiDg the corn crop can be carried
on naturally and easily.

To accomplish this without coverin g

be a cultivator with numerous long,

between a harrow and a cultiyator
Such cultiyators are now on the mar

er a cultivator with broader shoyels
may be used in order to cut the weeds
