GOOD CROP OF r
Unless Prime Seed Is Used Good 1ilth
ana Thorough Cultivation
Count for Little.

l am certain from several years en-
pericnce that one of the essentials in
securing Il good crop of corn is good
seed. l. may saythe other essentials
are Il good soil well prepared in Il good
filth and thorough cultivation. But
with poor seed the best growth and
yield will not be secured ever though
the soil be rich and good preparations
and cultivation be given.
( 1t is not only necessary that the soil
be of a quality that will terminate
readily under reasonably fair condi-
lions, but the seed must contain sutli-
cient vitality to send up a strong, vigor-
ousplant. Unless this is done it will be
impossiblet to secure a good, ever stand.
One essential necessary is Il vigorous
growth. The corn plant must make Il
quick, vigorous growth from the start,
and, while a rich soil prepared in IL
good filth is a great help in this, the
quality of the seed is the starting
point.
Our seed is carefully selected in the
fall, carefully dried out and then stored
where it is certain to keep dry and at
the same time be safe from vermin.
never shell until time for planting. If
the conditions are such as they should
be for planting corn. the soil sufficient
ly dry to work steadily into Il good
filth and then is thoroughly prepared,
there is no doubt but that a good. even
stand can be secured.
l have found by experience that it is
OF no advantage to plant corn when
the ground is wet; rough or cloddy.
Better wait until favorable conditions
can be secured. and then if good seed
is used not only will Il good stand be Sc
cured, but the plants will make Il good
start to grow. and then with good cul-
tivation can be kept growing. The
cost when a good crop is secured is
very materially reduced oven that of
a poor yield, so that it pays to take
reasonable care to secure the best
yield.--N. j. Shepherd, in Farmers
Voice.

Orchard Grass for Meadows,

/ have tried orchard grass as mead
ow and found it an utter failure UNI
der various circumstances and several
kinds of soil. This is also the expert
ence of other farmers. 1t is not diff
cult to get n fair ''catch." but the
plant has a habit of forming punches
with bare spots between. When cut
early it makes harsh hay, if cut when
ripe it is coarse and stiff like rye
straw. and resembles broom sedgn.
Stock will refuse to cat the hay ui-
less starved to it. 1t requires four or
five bushels of seed to the acre at
IL high price. From its early grswth
| think it would make good perma-
ncnt pasture. where it could be
stocked hard and not allowed to get
over four inches high.-National

No Mystery About Politics.

There is nothing peculiar or mysteri-
Gus about politics OF international rela-
tons, says Henry D. Sedgwick, Jr., il
The Atlantic. When two or three men
live within hail of one another, polit-
ical relations begin. Politics begin
when men realize that other men are
forces to be considered. Men meet,
bow; each drives his wagon to the
right; one sells, another buys; they
fence their acres in. They meet to-
gether to chop down a tree, TO mend the
road, to regulate county matters with
the next community.
Whether they like 1t or not, politics
have begun; ethical relations have be-
gun; religion has come in. BE it fear,
philosophy, instinct or habit, every nor
nal man is conscious of this religious
element. Men cannot separate politics
from ethics nor ethics from religion;
they are threefold, yet one and indivisi-
BILE. From that union springs the nor
NAL law.
Rightly to understand that power is
the chief problem of life, and mankind
has long been busy at the task, but the
immediate matter for men is to under
stand that what is true of two men and
three gathered together is true Of tens
of millions. Are men to recognize this
wv which acts on the individual and
on society only when the company is
small and they can see the whites Of
each others eyes? The duty of the
state is to recognize the scientific truth
of the universally and persistence Of
this power and to put it to use in state
affairs.

orators will be held today. Tuesday
evening D. c. Bradley, of Centerville,
president of the Walnut Block Coal as
ISOLATION, was in the city comforting
with President. Ream of the United
Mine Workers association. The oper-
ators would much rather that the con-
ference be postponed to later date
so that many of those interested in the
Iowa mines, who are now attending a
conference in Illinois, may have the
chance of being present.
Mr.. Bradley stated that there seem
ed to be a disposition on the part of a
few of the miners of the association to
confuse the operators as to date OF
conference. Continuing, he said: eve
are willing in our district to meet with
the association and talk matters over.
l do not think there will be any great
trouble in reaching an agreement. Our
association lies in the block coal dis
trict, SO the screen question is not of
such vital Importance to us as it is to
the Second district. / was sent here
by the association to ascertain when
the conference is desired. and so will
wire the operators in my district to be
on hand in this city today"
When asked as to the attitude which
the First, Third and Fourth districts
might take on the proposed advance of
the scale he said there is no doubt but
that they will protest, but seemed to
he of the opinion THAI a satisfactory
settlement will be reached.
