WHEN 10 PLANT CORN.

In Eafit Piaatios.

In experiments at the Indiana sta
tion it was found that the earliest
planting MAY y yielded the largest
crop al bushels per acre., while the
latest planting yielded about one
fourth less (32 bushels per acre.. The
time required for the crop to mature
decreased as the time of planting
was delayed. A delay of 30 to 40
days in planting shortened the time
required for the corn to mature
from two to three weeks. At Kan
sas station the average results of
experiments in this line carried on
for two years showed that corn
planting in the beginning of May
gave the best results, and at the IL
linois station the average results of
similar experiments were in favor OF
the paintings made from May to
Is, with tendencies slightly favoring
the later dates.
The experiments indicate, there
fore, says the department of agricul-
there is an advantage in early plant
ing; but in view of the uncertainties
of the weather, which is always
controlling factor in the growing of
crops, these results must be applied
with caution in practice. AS Tracy
has pointed out, planting should not
begin too early in the season:
Nothing is gained by putting
seed into soil which is too cold or
wet to favor termination. 1t is bet
ter to defer the planting a week or
ten days than to run the risk of los
ing it by decay or of having an i'm
perfect stand by planting before the
ground is sufficiently dry to work
well and warm enough for immediate
growth. Every missing plant means
n decrease in the yield, and replant-
ing the missing hills is seldom prof
liable. The replants are surround
ed by plants which mature and shed
their pollen before the younger silks
are formed. The pollination is there
fore very imperfect, and the ears on
the replants are usually nubbins,
which are scarcely worth gathering.
When the missing plants amount to
from ten TO twenty per cent. of the
whole replanting with some earlier
variety which will produce
its tassels and silks at about the
same time as the original planting is
often profitable, but will not pay
when the misses are less than ten
per cent. When the misses are more
than 20 per cent. il will pay better to
make an entire new planting"

TO PREVENT BURIAL ALIVE.
suggestion of n Life Insurance Man
That May lie of COnsid er able
Value.

Several insurance men were talking
lately about new wrinkles in the bust
ness. 81 firmly believe" said one, re-
ports the New York Mail and Ex-
press, that insurance against being
buried alive would pay. 1t is surpris-
ing how many people have a dread
that suspended animation may be mis-
taken for death. L know woman
who has actually made her husband
promise that IL he survives her he will
stick a hatpin through her heart be-
fore she is buried to make sure that
no spark Of life remains. In certain
parts Of Europe they have what are
known as mortuary houses, where the
dead are taken and subjected to vari-
Gus tests to make sure that death is
absolutely certain. L believe there is
d bill providing for somewhat sim
liar course now before the Massachu-
sets Legislature. If such a mortuary
building is established multitudes of
people would gladly pay, say, 500 to
be insured in a company that would
guarantee to make the necessary tests
before burial or cremation"

HIS HAIR STOOD Upon END.
6Saff6Atsd by Fosf MSaniaiR lions
= Prsspector was BADLY
Eri9htened,

"tp to Ave years ago." said a pros.
pector to reporter, II didn't believe
In such thing as a mans hair stand
ing on end" and then the old gentle
man told the story of the fright that
led him to change his mind, says the
st. Louis Republic.
II was IN the mountains of Idaho
with n friend and we ran short of
fresh meat, so one day 1 took my gun
ravine and was making my way along
little brook when i came suddenly
upon a queer sight. Not four feet in
front of me, in the full blaze of the
sun, lay four mountain lions, asleep.
For half minute L thought them
dead, but as l stood staring at them
with my heart in my mouth everyone
of them sprang up with growl. And
they faced around at me, looking
ugly, shifting the air with their whis-
kers drawn back, showing the white
line of their teeth, switching their
tails and looking like demons.
"As for me, 1 stood rooted to the
spot. l couldn't move, from sheer
fright. A queer, numb sensation be-
gan in my ankles and crept up my
body, and 1 literally felt my hair rise.
stood there motionless for several
minutes; then one of the beasts
dropped his tail and whined. The
others followed his example. My
presence mystified them. A few sec
onds later they turned about and
crept away down the ravine, looking
back stealthily two or three times to
see me.
"When they were out of sight I be-
gan to breathe again. 1 didn't care
to hunt any more that day and made
for the camp at top speed. That was
the time my hair stood on end and
my scalp was sore to the touch for
week afterward."

An international River

In northwestern Montana, near the
British line, there is lake the wa
tiers of which flow through the st.
Mary river to Hudson bay. The d.
vide between the lake and the head
waters of the Milk river, an affluent
Of the Missouri, is so low that engi-
neers say it would be feasible to d.
vert the outlet from Canadian to
American territory. AS water for ir.
rigation is highly valued on both sides
of the line, the question whether the
United States has right to divert it
Is one of international interest, and
may yet become important.

RIGID NORWEGIAN LAWS.
Those Regarding Foreigners So
Strict They May Act as a De-
terrent to Travellers.

1t having become the fashion for the
globe trotter to take in Norway and
Sweden as part of his itinerary it is of
general interest that law recently
passed by ths Norwegian government
and which Is to become operative in
January, 1902, should be given wide
publicity. All persons whose eceupa-
ton it is to receive travellers as night
dodgers are to report the same to the
police, and moreover to keep list OF
all persons whom they receive. Any
foreigner desiring to reside in Norway,
or to obtain employment in Norway
must report on his arrival his means,
and If required to do so appear before
the local police, says Vogue.
Moreover, the subject of any foreign
state may be refused admittance in
Norway for the following reasons: If
he is found on arrival not to be in pos
session of sufficient means of support,
or without prospects of obtaining law
full employment in Norway; second,
emitting to report himself after ar
rival; third, II he is unprovided with
certificate Of residence book whei he
ought to have one in his possessions;
fourth, this provision refers to those
persons who may have been condemned
in any country for offenses of specified
kinds. just why such restrictive meas
ures should have been enacted the re-
ports published in this country do not
say, but a little more of such red tape
might act as a deterrent for tourists
who do not wish to be forever pro-
claiming themselves

Artificial Marble

Manufacturers are actually making
marble by the same process by which
nature makes 1t, only in few weeks
instead of few thousand years. They
take rather soft limestone and chem
ically permeate it with various color
ing matters, which sink into the stone,
and are not mere surface coloring,
as in scagliola. The completed ma
terial takes fine polish, and many
of the specimens are of beautiful col

A VERITABLE WHITE CITY.
ArchanGcl, In Western Russia,
Covered by n Mantle Of Snow
Most Of the Year.

Fer three months in the winter Arch
angel, now to become the Sreat- west
ern port Of Russia, scarcely sees the
sun, and for three months in the sum-
mer seldom loses sight of il. Yet
there is no city in the whole of Europe
which lies for so many months-for
the greater part of the year, in fact
under a mantle of snow; and because
of this, the Russian fondly calls it 1.-THE
White City" says Pearson's Magazine.
White, too, it is in other ways. ALI
the chief buildings glare with white
paint and blink with white blinds.
The churches-and in Russian city
they are not few-are also of pure
white; only the cupolas are green, and
the crosses on their submits gold. And
white are the private houses of the bet
ter sort-eXcept where Norwegians
and Germans live, for buff and blue
and red then streak and diaper the pine
walls and edge of the gable ends. But
street posts, gates, pillars, walls,
fences-these are all white. And in the
summer, for every Official you see in
a blue or a gray tunic, you see ten in
white caps and white uniforms.
Bright color alone is left 10 the wom-
en- and children; pink blouses, green
skirts, scarlet petticoats, orange
aprons, and blue kerchiefs are COM
mon enough; while group of children
will always look like cluster Of old
English flowers. But otherwise, in
summer as in winter, this old city of
Archangel, now destined to be the cap
ital of new Russia in the near west,

FLORENCE ALL RIGHT.
Men Who Believe Ii and rlen Who

DOn l..
Mayor John q Macdonald and
ID. A. Jack must have considera BILE
faith in Florence, as has been
demonstrated by the purchase of
the corner property at Main and
Petroleum This is very choice
corner lot and must of necessity
be valuable one. Both of these
gentlemen already own consider
able property in Florence and by
taking up the Pioneer livery barn
property shows that the gentlemen,
who are both good business men,
have considerable faith in the
future of Florence.
Mayor Macdonald, especially,
Is In position to know something
of the future prospects of the town
and if it looked so poorly to him
as it does to those who are contin
nally knocking" against this place,
he certainly would not be investing
his money in real estate for a
speculation; he believes with ID. A.
Jack and many others that Flor
ence will always be one OF the best
towns in Colorado, and with its
varied and natural resources is
bound to keep at the top notch.
Now is the time to invest in
Florence property and The TRIB.
uNE has been asked why if did not
consider the proposition of open
ing real estate office, 30 that out
siders may be induced to locate
here; the town needs live, wide
awake business men to advertise
its splendid opportunities; it needs
a less number of people who get
around on the street corners and
talk about this business and that
enterprise being complete failure
and a detriment to the town; it
needs more men who are willing
| to contribute few dimes to its
local papers to advertise it's re-
sources; it needs business men
who know enough to hang on
when times get just little blue,
and bring the town out of its
seeming difficulty. The TRIBUNE,
and all the local papers for that
matter, are doing all in their power
to push Florence to the front, but
without the cooperation of the
business men the attempt must be
a failure. Let US all get together
