Chm, &c Methods.

The Chimes. way OF telling time Is
the oldest OF ALL Some travellers In
China asked u farm lad whom they
met ON the road II Il was yet noon.
lie looked up at the sky 10 see what
progress the sun had made. hut there
were clouds In the way. Then he ran
to the farm and soon returned with u
surprised looking eat In his arms.
Pushing up her .yciids. lie said that
the mornin: was not yet ended.
This was great puzzle to the
strangers. who could see no conncc.
fion between n eats eyes and the time
OF day. and. going Oh the farm. they
asked the inmates 50 explain the mat
ter.
The Cinnamon thought their visitors
wocfully ignorant. hut they obliginely
hunted up NIL the eats In the neigh
borhood. and. having caught three or
four. showed that the pupils OF their
eyes narrowed by degrees until T.
o'clock. when they became merely n
hair lire extending pcrpcndicularly
across the eye. The noon mark once
crossed. they as slowly ,lilated again.
While not disputing the facts OF the
case. the travellers decided that, ns
you had first 80 catch your cnt. and
then examine its eyes against Its will.
this method took great deal OF time

0rosiax Pop Cora

The demand for pop corn Increases
every year. yet the crop Is never equal
to the market. says Joel Shoemaker In
Indiana Farmer. Farmers do no, con-
slider tho profits OF this special crop
or there would be more grown for Sup
piyIn. home demands. Pop corn rc-
qulrcs about the same soil as that de-
mandcd by the sweet and field yari-
etics. A sod or vegetable mould. con-
tainins more sand than clay and haT-
in. previous clean culture Is best
adapted to corn growing. II plowcd In
the fall or winter and left to freeze
until the spring weeds begin to grow
before planting. the land will be In nnc
condition. This crop wants plant food
like all Others. but can get along with
little nitrogen. An average fertilizer
might contain about s per cent each
OF phosphoric acid and potash and per-
haps II. per cent TO 9 per cent nitro
gen: from 400 to COO pounds per acre
would be considered a fair application.
Another popular fertilizer for corn Is
a mixture OF about $50 pounds OF fine
ground bone and 100 pounds muriate
OF potash per acre broadcasted and well
mixed with the soil before planting
time.
Pop corn may be planted closer than
any other varieties. His plan Of plant
ing Is to make the burrows three feet
apart and have the corn stand one
stalk in hill. IA inches apart In the
rows. II the corn is planted very early
or late It will not suffer SO much from
the worms as the medium planted
crops. Where irrigated. care must be
taken In keeping the water from the
stalks and not give the plants more
than two periods Of irrlgating during
the growing season. The poor ears can
be fed to poultry with profit and the
fodder is relished by the cows. sheep
and horses.
