New yarictics OF Corn.

We believe the ordinary farmer
should give good deal of thought to;
the varieties Of corn he grows, and
that 1t will pay him to experiment in
small way with new varieties, says
Wallace's Farmer. After some experi-
ence he will be able to cross intelli-
gently for special purpose from year
10 year and get about what he wants.
Corn originally was sen,i-tropical
product, coming, we believe, from Mex
leo. 1T has been growing in a wide
range OF climate, and has developed
great number Of varieties In fact, It
is more variable than any other grain,
varying not merely with the climate,
but with the soil, and in selecting seed
corn it is not safe to reach over wide
range of latitude. 1t you do, ting corn
will be confused, so to speak, and not
KNOW how long to grow nor when to
r'Den and get in out of the way of
frost. The farmer who is selecting
SEED corn with the idea of grain pro-
duction should select the variety that
will grow hina the greatest amount of
grain, large ears, and as many OF them
as possible. The farmer who is grow.
ing corn to feed cattle in the shock
should aim to grow the greatest total
amount of food, which he will find in
large number of nedium-siZed ears
and finer quality of fodder--the re-
suit Of thicker planting than is justi-
fable when growing exclusively for the
grain. The farmer who grows corn foY
summer feed for stock should select
corn that is early and has large
amount of leaves like the Eyergreens,
and so on to the end of the type that
will produce him the largest: amount
and get in out of the way of; frost. 1t
should, therefore, not be an early va
riety such as the Northern grown vari-
cites are likely to be, nor yet a late
one like the large corn from the'Soutt:
We think our readers will see the point
in this at a glance. and it should gov
ern them in determining on the varie-
ties of corn to plant this year. One
thing we urge especially, that they look
out for their seed corn early, as in,
large sections of the country the seed
is hopelessly damaged.

Hauling Manure.-When the snow
disappears and the ground is frozen is
q good time to get out and spread
upon the land as many loads Of ma
nure as possible. Every stroke OF
work done before the hurried season
of blowing and sowing will increase
the time for doing these things in a
workmanlike and satisfactory manner.
In our Northern ATTITUDES the season
for doing farm work is SO short that
it requires the utmost diligence to
avoid being distanced in the race. In
the South, corn may be planted from
March till June, with fair prospects OF
a crop, and this indulgence on the part
of Mother Nature often leads to con-
summation Of the idea: Don't put off
till tomorrow what can be put off till
the day after!'-Farm, Stock and
Home.

Millet and Ga ta.

Millet should unquestionably be
looked upon as staple crop, in the
Northwest, says the Farmer. It is one
OF our most certain and reliable crops.
We can sow it somewhat later in the
season, much after the fashion of a
catch crop" and when sown in. time
we are reasonably sure of a. catch Of
the seed. Some persons are now SOW
ing a peck of oats along, with two
pecks of millet per acre. From the
combination larger amount of crop
can be obtained than by growing mil
let alone. The oats will reach that
stage when the grain is fully formed
by the time that the miilet is ready to
be cut. And the mixture makes. a VAL
liable amount Of nutritious food. Il
would seem to be a law Of plant growth
that more will be retained By the soil
where a suitable combination Of plants
is grown than where only one kind Ia
produced. Mr. E. d. Childs of Crooks
.on, one of the most extensive dairy
men in the Red River Valley, has
practiced growing millet and oats thus
for some time, and is pleased with the
results. The one crop would seem, as
it were. to be the complement Of the
other.

Horses for Europe.-C. e. Stubbs, in
a summary of his report to the secre-
tary of agriculture on the marketable
horse for Europe. writes: Whatever
horse. we raise-be it draft, hunter,
coacher, cavalry or other kind-he
should be on. short legs. have his
height in the depth Of his body and
not in. his, legs. Also remember that,
whatever kind he is, his back should
be short. This rule always holds good,
but by it do not mean to raise a really
short horse. Let the horse be Of good
length, but have his, oblique shoulders
and his long, straight hips instead of
his back to. supply it. Observe these
rules and you cannot go wrong. five

fine-styled coach stations as sires and
do, not succeed in producing what we
want in the way Of high-acting car
rage horse, there are so many places
for the horse we will produce that We
cannot make mistake.

STRENGTH DECREASING.
The Weather Bureau Thinks Worst
Is Over

Washington, Aug. 13.-The West
Indian hurricane appears to be gradu-
ally decreasing in strength and the
chances are that it will spend itself
before making much further progress.
This is the welcome news given out by
the officials of the weather bureau to-
night 1t is based on the fact that
there has not been an.> decided fall in
the barometer in the localities that
should feel its effect. and by the pres
ence of an area of high pressure in the
northern part of the United States.
which tends to keep the storm from
continuing its onward march.
The movement of the hurricane Is
apparently very slow and even at
jacksonville. the velocity of the wind
this morning was but twenty-one miles
an hour. The opinion of the officials
is that by the time Charleston is
reached there will be no more than
an ordinary blow. Wilmington, y. c..
and Norfolk have taken down their
hurricane signals. The storm now ap-
pears to be on the east coast OF
Florida and the latest reports from
Jupiter. dated at o'clock this morn
ing indicate pretty severe blow at
that place. 1t is now south of Jack
sonville, indicating Il slow northward
movement since last night. The
bureau has had no wire reports south
of Titusvlle.. Fla. some distance be-
low Jacksonville since last night and
nothing from Nauusau. Bahama
Islands since Friday afternoon.

Denver, Aug. 13.-The country for
miles around here today swarmed with
detectives and policemen in search of
the soldier who in the early hours this

Clifford and w. Z. Griffith. while re-
Sisting arrest. The two recruits who
were with the murderer at the time
he shot Clifford is cold blood and were
arrested shortly afterward. have steadi-
ly refused to give his name denying
any knowledge of him except that he
was a member of the same company as
they. However, the police learned from
other members of the company who
saw the three men together during Sat-
urday night, that the murderer's name
was Wellington C. Llewellyn and that
he came from Globe, Ariz.. short time
ago to enlist in the new Thirty fourth
regiment. The three men were all more
or less intoxicated at the time of the
murder of Clifford. and Llewellyn had
been threatening people with his gun.
Clifford started to arrest him and was
killed. Later Llewellyn shot Griffith,
who was pursuing him.
A reward has been offered for the
body of Llewellyn dead or alive. There
were threats of lynching should he be
caught. but they are not very strong
