How to Plant Popcorn.

Popcorn may be planted closer
than any other varieties. One plan OF
planting is to make the burrows three
feet apart and have the corn stand
one stalk in hill, IA inches apart in
the rows. If 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 ir-
rigation 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.

Place For a National Pnrk.

Congressman Tongue OF Oregon says:
"The people Of Oregon are much inter
ested In having a national park estab-
hshed at Crater lake. That locality is
quite as wonderful and fully as inter
esting to scientists and tourists as the
Yellowstone park or the Yosemite 1t
is located in the Cascade range of
mountains about 6,0OO feet above the
sea level. The Crater lake region IS
well situated for park, but is unfit
for any other purpose, as it contains no
agricultural lands and is far above the
limit of cereals. 1t Is well timbered,
but the timber is Of no value for lum-
ber Its rocks are all fresh lava and
contain nothing whatever Of value to
the miner. Crater lake is conceded to
be one of the greatest scenic wonders
In the United States, If not In the
world. There are no settlers within
the limits of the proposed park, which
Is easily accessible by roads already
constructed. The lake Is already re-
garded as a pleasure resort by Ore
gonlans, but one Of the drawbacks to
tourists at present is the lack Of ia
cilties for entertainment there"

The Tailor and Cutter, which evident

Of the British soldier who has gone
south" Khaki simply describes a col
or and not a class Of material and. &c
cordlng to our contemporary, is aSso-
ciated with "vulgarity and dirtiness.'
The word is not TO be found in John
son. Webster or Nuttali. but The En-
cyclOpedic Dictionary gives IT, and It's
meaning there is: "An earthly or gray
clay color used to dye the uniform OF
Indian soldiers and sepoys. y sect OF
Brahmins called khaki because they
apply the ashes of cow dung to their
dress and persons"
The Greek dictionary gives us kaa-
kaa, dirt; the Welsh vocabulary, the
German, the Spanish, even the Maori
has the same word spelled a little diff
ferently. It is true. but in every case
the meaning IS the same. 1t is OF the
earth, earthy-dirt, Of the dirtiest kind;
that is the meaning Of the word which
has come to be looked upon as en-
blematical Of British patriotism.
