CORN PLANTED TOO THICK.

Conditions the present season to
greater degree than ever before demon
strated the fact that most corn is
planted too thickly to secure the best
results. The drought which this year
was absolutely fatal to all fields Of
thickly planted corn spared the crop
of the man who had poor seed and
whose field had poor stand. 1t is all
q question of rainfall and moisture.
Could one see tangibly the vast amount
of water which a field of thickly plant
ed corn, standing eight feet high In
early August, will pump out Of the soil
it would be easy to understand why
such fields fall easy victims to arid
conditions. There are hundreds of
thousands Of acres of corn land this
year which would have made a good,
fair crop for this season had the stand
averaged one and two stalks in a hill
instead Of three and four, under which
conditions the crop has proved a prac-
teal failure. This applies with special
force to all soils whose fertility is i'm
paired by continuous cropping

n1.cratory VIVID RIrds, Eggs.

1t will surprise many people to know
that some of the most important mi
gratory birds are now in process Of
extinction because of mans cupidity,
not in killing them, but in destroying
their eggs and thus preventing their
existence. All of them breed in the
arctic regions, where In summer there
is the greatest abundance of insect and
fish life on which to support them
selves. Man has found these breeding
places, and SO long as he can secure
fresh eggs he finds ready sale for them
at profitable prices from photograph
ers, who use the albumen for making
the films on which their pictures are
taken. 1t is true If there were not this
supply photographs might be dearer
than they now are, but IL this use OF
their eggs means the extinction of
many migratory species of birds such
use of them ought to be prohibited by
lava. v. Meersch.

FEEDING STEERS ON so CENT CORN

FEEDING STEERS ON so CENT CORN.
A good many feeders are debating
just now as to the wisdom of trying 10
feed steers for beef the coming winter,
the question being whether they can
make anything by feeding so cent
corn. One thing is certain, there will
be a great falling off of beef produc-
ton in any event. This fact is likely to
put good beef animals up to fancy
prices by next spring, and if q man has
the right sort Of steers-well bred beef
animals-wc had just as soon take our
chance feeding them 80 cent corn this
year as 80 cent corn in ordinary sea-
sons. Then, the side issue of the hogs
associated with the feeding of the
steers is sure to be good proposition.
Now, mind, this statement is predicted
upon the kind of steers fed, for we
would not attempt the job with scrub
stock

Let us reflect, and we shall see
that there is great reason to hope that
death is n good, for one Of two things:
Either death is state of nothing

men say, there is change and migra-

there is no consciousness, but sleep
