Distance Apart of Corn Hills.

When we were young we were
taught to make the burrows for corn
hills four feet apart each way, but
later on we decided that three and a
half feet each way was better, as
giving many more hills to the acre,
and afterward when truck farming
we put sweet corn three feet apart one
way and three the other for all but
the large evergreen varieties, and we
found it to produce just as many ears
to the hill and to fill them out just
az we'll as when we used more space.
We manured literally, had the wide
rows run nearly north and south to
let the sun in, and used the cultivator
Only one way. The difference between
the last method and the first one was
the difference between sixteen square
feet to hill and eleven and half
Square feet, or we had 37S1 hills to
ythe acre instead of 2722, gain Of
/ 1905 hills, or nearly a half acre. We
never weighed the crop or counted the
ears to know the actual gain in pro-
,ductions, but our observation con-
vipced. US that there was a gain in
the, closer planting. If any one has
made Oh. will make the test carefully
to know the exact results we should
be glad to publish it, but we shall
.stipulate that it must he on good Soil

A Railroad Wrecker.

What Ends 1t.

A young lady (matrimonially bent
apparently left her prayer book be.
hind her one Sunday IN church instead
of bringing it home with her as usual.
Inside Of it she had written the fol-
lowing efusion:
49, a bunch of fow'rs,
"A look oritwo,
- Alittle billing,
- A little COO
A little coming
And going, till r
They 80 to church
And say, II wiil''-
And that ends 1t.
On looking at the book on the fol-
lowing Sunday she observed that some
one had pencilled this eAusion in it:
My lass, you're wrong
You surely are;
You worked TINT rhyme
Just one too fur.
It ends right there
oh, no, 1t don'tl
For coming home
Sbe says, II won't!"-
And that begins it.

Open Pans In the Dairy.

While the milk room should be well
ventilated those who still use tile open
pans; should be careful that there is
not direct current Of air blowing
over the pans. There are two reasons
for this. The outside air Is not pure
and sweet. 1t may be laden With
dust, or it may bear with 1t odors
which are not desirable in the butter,
or bacteria that will produce bad fla
vors or early decay. But even II the
air is all right it toughens the surface
of the cream so that in churning IT
does not break with the rest, but goes
away in the buttermilk or mixes into
the butter, usually most Of 1t doing
the latter, and then the butter is filled
with white specks which are simply
sour cream that will not only impart
m undesirable taste to the butter, but
cause it to become rancid very quick
". We learned this by little un-
pleasant experience of our own many
years ago, as we have learned some
other things, and we advise our
friends to be warned before they have
, to pay for the lesson. One may re-
move these particles of tough cream by
straining the whole through a fine
sieve, but it is easier not to have
them. Place g. screen between the
window and the milk shelves If it is
necessary to open the windows to cool
or yentilate the room.

Is the Best Medicine Money Can Buy.
No Uncommon Mistakes.

Mabel must have been visiting in
some large city, and her sister Ann
was at the train to greet her upon her
safe return. They hugged each other
With fond delight and Immediately
began to discuss various topics OF
mutual interest.
"And, oh, Mabel" exclaimed Anna
suddenly, "why didn't you let me
know when you got that SIS mother
gave to me to send you?"
"Why, DEAR" answered Mabel,

nantly, II sent it by money order.

ceipt right here for the money"
And then the dear girl fumbled in
her purse and drew forth the order
which the postal clerk had given her
for the money, and which She thought
was the receipt.
The girls kissed each other again,
and decided at once to proceed to the

Women in Full Control.

= They have just held Woman's Ex-
hibition at Earl's Court, London, the
first impression of which is described
thus by an English newspaper writer:
All the check-takers were women,
all the attendants and all the bands.
If the visitor asked for something
and.soda at the little marble tables
out in the sunshine it was lady who
took the order. He was waited upon
by woman at lunch; q lady conduct
ed him to his place at the entertain
ments, and wherever he went he met
companies of young ladies in lancer
tunics or khaki jackets, sometimes
with euphoniums and sometimes with
out them.

Benefit OF Good Inc1bators.

The time is not far distant when
poultry keepers who are in the busi-
ness for profit will not think it de-
sirable to get along without good
incubators, any more than a market
gardener would think of trying to get
along without good hotbeds. 1t is in
what is started early and put Oh the
market at a time when buyers are
willing to pay liberal prices that both
find their hest profits. There may be
some profit in the latter crops or they
may bring only 4 fair compensation
for labor, but the one who is success
full in getting a good crop. Of vegeta-
bles or fruit, chickens or eggs at the
season of scarcity. will find his labor
we'll rewarded. The man who keeps
but a dozen or two Of hens or who
has a quarter of an acre OF garden
may get along without these helps
but he will not make fortune IN the
business. His profit will be larger
in having employment for his leisure
hours, and in producing then that
which otherwise would require cash
outlay for his family. -..

The Cost OF Spraying.

A correspondent Of the Farmers Ad-
vocate gives cost Of spraying last
year five acres of apple orchard, 23o
trees that have been twenty years
planted and are we'll grown. He
sprayed them three times, using each
time eleven barrels Of forty gallons
each, Bordeaux mixture and Paris
green. In the thirty-three barrels he
used 1872 pounds of copper sulphate
ut seven cents q pound, 1924; two
bushels of lime, forty cents; eight and
one-half pounds of Paris green at
twenty-five cents q pound, $2.O7; a
cost for material of Sill, nearly
four and three-quarter cents per tree.
1t took three days labor of man anu
boy at each spraying, which is not
as quick work as many claim to DO,
but we think would be likely to result
in thorough work. He says the out
lay was small compared to the per-
centage of clean fruit obtained. lie

What Shall Re the Crops.

What kind aoi crops should the
farmer grow? 1t may be answered
all kinds: but something may DE
gained by reviewing the past year and
present prices. The farmer who does
not watch the market reports and
Drices will be at a disadvantage. If
an article was. high last year it may
induce many to grow large crops OF
it this year If an article is low it is
possible that many will not attempt
to make a profit with it. An expert
crced farmer states that he always
plants the crops that others will not
grow, for then it is sure to be below
the demand and bring a good price.
His method is worthy Of consideration
