A drill cannot be run among corn
stalks for putting in spring grain. A
drill is so constructed that it will not
do the best work unless the ground is
free from trash of all kinds, says the
Iowa Homestead We have tried the
drill for putting in oats in the spring
of the year. but it was when the crop
was universally good and we could not
note the advantage. The ground has to
be plowed, narrowed and put in good
filth before drilling. There are seeders
with a spring tooth attachment that
will put in oats fairly we'll only. As a
rule, oats should be in the ground be-
fore it is sufficiently dry to make pre-
parations for the drill, and any imple-
ment like the disk that will thoroughly
stir the surface soil will be good for
putting in the oats crop. There may be
one advantage in employing the drill in
putting in oats. 1t is where clover is to
be sown in the field. Then the ground
should be well plowed, reduced and the
oats drilled in and the clover seed at
the same operation. Drill 215 bushels
of oats per acre This gives the very
best kind Of seed bed for clover seed
and rarely fails.

same height. After this it made q
growth of, perhaps, six inches when
frost occurred. The tassels began to
shed their pollen upon the silks Of three
sets, the uppermost Of which was 0 feet
above the soil The lowest set was eight
feet above the soil There were niIo
whorls of aerial roots, eight of which
are shown in the cut, the highest being
four feet above the soil The longest
leaves were five feet in length and four
inches in width
We have raised this variety Of corn
for three seasons, and while all ether
kinds were more or less lodged by high
winds not plant Of the Mexican June
was broken or bent from a perpendicU-
lar position. This is readily accounted
for by its wonderful root system and
the elasticity and toughness Of the
stalks, which resemble so many bamboo
fishing rods, Following are some notes
with which some Of our readers have
favored us which will show how the
Mexican June corn conducted itself
with them:
Charles Macon OF Ingleslde n. e.,
writes under date Of Sept % Il have
two rows Of Mexican June corn. The
stalks will average is feet in height
some of them IS feet. They have fair
sized ears that l think will mature

Mr. Benjamin Buchanan Of Farming
dale, Ills, as early as Sept - wrote
The tallest stalks of the Mexican June
corn have reached the height Of IA feet
and if we have two weeks of wa""l
weather the ears now showing wal
produce seeds that will grow
The lower whorls of aerial stems send
out as many fbrous roots as does the
main stem itself and these unquestion.
ably absorb nutriment from the soil
Hence it is fair to suppose that the
Mexican June corn will thrivein poorer
soils and during severer droughts than
other varieties

POTATO GROWING.
A Few Conclusions From Expert

A Few Conclusions From Expert
ments at the Cornell station.
The Cornell station of the great po-
tato growing state of New York has
been for some years conducting expert
ments looking toward improved methods
in the culture of this tuber From a
third report on their operations by Pro-
fessors Roberts and Clinton, a few items
are noted:
Early in the growth of the potatoes
spraying became necessary. In addi
ton to the Colorado potato beetle, the
leaf flea beetle early began its depreda
tiOns Bordeaux mixture and Paris
green used freely served to check both
insects. Several farmers have informed
us that bordeaux mixture has failed
with them to check the work of the leaf
flea beatle, but with us, for three years
in succession, it has proved effective in
checking, although it has not entirely
driven them away,
During July there prevailed a most
severe drought. The amount of mois
ture on some of the experimental plats
was reduced to per cent as deter
mined by samples taken one foot deep.
This condition threatened to seriously
injure the crop and no doubt did affect
it to some extent. The soil having been
thoroughly prepared, and the potatoes
covered deeply, and the surface kept
loose the plants were able to survive
and produce very satisfactory crop
The frequency of droughts enforces
the Importance of having a soil well
supplied with humus, early blowing,
deep planting of the potatoes, especially
On porous, leachy soils, and frequent
tillage.
Seed should not be cut for any con-
siderable period before planting. If it
becomes necessary to delay planting for
some considerable time after potatoes
are cut the cut pieces should be busted
with plaster and spread out in moder-
ately moist, cool place. At least they
should not be allowed to heat, neither
must they be allowed to become dry.
If planting is done very early in the
spring, the ridges may be permitted to
remain for ten days to two weeks be-
fore narrowing down. If planting is
done somewhat late, the ridges should
be narrowed within one week after
planting In the case of the early plant
ing there is usually enough moisture
present so that the ridging may tenn
porarily prove a benefit by enabling the
soil to become warm. In the case of
late planting all the moisture should be
conserved, and this is best done by lev
cling the ridges. Where the soil is nat
urally too wet the ridges may be bene-
fetal in that they hasten evaporation
and the consequent drying Of the soil

rini Root system.
The Mexican June is an interesting
variety of corn and The Rural New
Yorker gives an instructive story abo"t
it, in which occur the following items
with illustration:
A second planting was made the last
week in May After the plants were
we'll up all were destroyed but two.
Liberal dressings of nitrate of soda,
sulphate of potash, wood ashes, bone
-four and horse manure were made from
time to time. Our object was to find
out how tall this corn could be forced to
grow During the season of 1897 the
stalks grew to a height of 10 feet, and
this in rather poor soil under ordinary
field culture. The nodes or leaves aver
aged seven inches apart the old leaves
averaged about four feet long and four
inches wide 1t will be seen that such
plants would give an immense amount

only does he create us all to be useful,
to take some part in the worlds affairs,
to honor and glorify him in some way,
but he designs each person for some
definite place and some specific work.
He does not send us into life merely to
fill any niche into which we may chance
to be lifted by the vicissitudes of life or
to do whatever bits of work which may
drift to our hands in the vast compli-
Gated mesh Of human affairs. God has
plan, embracing all his creatures and
all their actions, and in this plan every
intelligent being has an allotted place
and an assigned part.-Rev G. w. Will

THE LICENSE BOARD.
A Lively Meeting May Be
Expected This At
ternOOn.

The regular weekly meeting of the
license board will be held in room 80
at the city hall this afternoon. There
is promise of a lively meeting and
among those who are anxiously await
ing the decision of the board are the
drivers of job wagons, who have been
out of business since last Saturday
when their last years license to do
business expired.
There is opposition to the renewal of
the license of Patrick j. Downey the
well known hack driver, and it is in
timated that both Mr.. and Mrs. Ed
ward s. Tanner, the former a manu-
facturer of perfumes will appear before
the board and explain why he should
not be given permission to do bust
ness.
DoWney and Tanner appeared in a
sensational suit in the superior court
short time ago. Downey sued Tan
ner for a five dollar hack bill, claimed
to be due him, and also for five dol
lars in addition, claimed to have been
advanced. Judgment was rewarded
for the plaintiff for $40 with costs of
the court, amounting to nearly $50
Downey drove Tanner down to the
Pond Lily" house in Shrewsbury one
day last July, and while there it is
claimed by Tanner that he was knock
ed down by Proprietor Mars and rob
bed of a diamond stud. DoWney later
recovered the stud, but claimed he was
obliged to forfeit 81 in order to obtain
it. Tanner refused to pay the bill for
the trip, and the suit was the result
