THE JUNE McCLURE'S.
TarkingtOn's New Serial and
Splendid Articles.

AS full as usual Of timely articles
on men and affairs, McClure's for
June will perhaps be chiefly wei
coined for the first instalment Of
Booth Harrington S new serial,
"The Two Vanreyels. 50 The au-
thor might appropriately have
called the new novel THE Two
Gentlemen from Indiana, to en-
phasize the fact that in it he is re-
turning to the field Of his first great
success. "The Gentleman from
Indiana however, was a story Of
contemporary life, while The Two
Vanrevels harks back to the days
of the Mexican War. The three
opening chapters unfold most allur-
ingly. The story seems to combine
all the charms of 1.-The Gentleman
from Indiana" and "Beducaire, -
and to add a surer mastery of style
of its own. Certainly no serial now
running in any other magazine will
surpass it in Importance or popu-
larity.
Half a dozen other features of the
number deserve high mention
among magazine articles of the
month. Miss Stone continues her
splendid narrative, which grows
more enthralling as the events she
narrates begin to cover that period
of her captivity of which the world
yet knows little or nothing,

PREHISTORIC
Relics Wanted by Department Of

Editor Of the Kentuckian

Editor OF the Kentuckiap:
Dear Sir-Phnlips Academy.
Andoyer, Mass, has recently es-
tablished a Department of Arcbae.
ology Ny object is to en-.
courage the preservation Of stone
bone and clay prehistoric art forms.
In your section Of the country are
frequently found various Indian
relics. " These have a direct bear.
ing on the history-or rather pre-
history-of America, and as such
should be preserved in 6reproof
buildings for the study and edifca-
tion of present and future genera
tons.
II am persuaded that there may
be persons who have found some re-
mains of the ancient Indian tribes,
Mound builders" etc, and that,
possibly, they would be willing to
send them to us. We shall be glad
to pay express charges on any and
all boxes Of specimens sent to us, to
mention the gifts in our report and
to gives the donors due credit in our
exhibition cases.
All these axes, pipes, spear
heads, clay vessels and "strange
stones, should be carefully pre-
served somewhere, where they may
be Of service to the public and to
science. Archaeology-technically
followed is a new science in the
United States and it is more impor-
tant than the average reader i'm
AGNES, for these "stone relics
have direct bearing on the antiq-
uity Of man.
l shall be glad to correspond with
persons who have "relics" in their
possession. Thanking you, am,
Yours very truly,

crops have been generally heavy in his
part of the State that a general rise of $40
acre for farm lands is reported.
The number OF farmers in Missouri Kan
sas and Oklahoma who this season raised
the tallest corn is equaled only by the to-
tai number Of farmers who planted that
corn, and the tallest stalks have not been
able 70 equal the ordinarily tall stories told
about them General agreement, however,
seems TO give TO John Martin. of Platte
county, Missouri the honor of raising the
tallest corn. He has exhibited stalks sew
enteen feet high. They were grown from
seed that had been sent to him from Mex
leo. The old trouble about this corn was
that il bore no ears. 1t all ran TO length.
Possibly on this account it must be put out
of the reckoning.
Judge Wellhouse, of Kansas, will get q
crop of between 10000 and $4,000 bushels
of apples this year out of his 1,6OO acres
of orchards in Leavenworth, Miami and
Usage counties. Since he began to raise
apples on large scale twelve years ago
he has sold nearly half million bushels
at an average price of Is cents. There
have been seasons when his crop has
amounted only TO few hundred bushels,
and in 1898 he did not have apple. TAX
ing the twelve years all together, however,
his investment has paid him very well. He
gives GO acres to the Ben Davis apples,
seveuty-siX to Winesap, 400 to Missouri
Pippin, 100 to Jonathan, 80 to York I'm
perial, 16O to Gano. sixteen 10 Maiden's
the years when he picked $4,000 bushels or
more his expenses were nearly $1,000. His
receipts in 1890 were $4,000. His net profits
in the last twelve years have been s104, 600,
without counting the increased value of his
land and improvements. The Ben Davis
apple is the most profitable and the Jona-
than gives the largest yield. with the Mis-
souri, Pippin second and Ben Davis third.
The Kansas City Star opened its columns
recently to a discussion concerning the size
of the big ears of corn raised in Kansas
and Missouri last summer. There was
hardly a farmer in either State that did
not have story to tell. Ears of corn
with 100 and 200 grains in them seem to
have been matters of common occurrence.
Others went as high as /, 400 and 1900. Ed
Johnson, of Kackley, Kan, for example,
went Into one of his fields day and
picked at random four ears which averaged
1222 grains each. A German of Hartford,
Kan, found an ear which was only twelve
inches long but had twenty-six rows of
grains. making LAOS all told. L. p. Monnot,
of Oklahoma, reported an ear OF corn
twelve inches in length and eleven in cir
conference. But all these are beaten by
one ear which was raised by G. II. Cleve-
land. of Tulsa, l. T., in 1901. This ear had
thirty rows of grains around ii and fifty
six grains lengthwise. The total number
of grains on the cob was 1850. This is a
record still to be beaten.

Instantly there came from just within
the doorway TO an inner room a half-stifed
cry-a gReP-a rustic of skirts. The tall
man turned thither a quick glance of warn
ing and rebuke. then. visibly paler, again
faced his caller:

who had no roofs left to cover them-only
to the sick. sir
Benton paused. irreso1ute. The tall Vir-
ginian spoke with so much dignity and sad
ness. The house. as he said, seemed barely
habitable. The garnet especially was little
better than ruin. The face at that peep
hole on the eastern side and at the little
window away up under the gable caves at
the north might well have been that of
some of the household, yet, even at the
distance and at the first glance there was
that leap of sudden joy and that kept it
bounding STILL And then-if 1t should be
true-if what he hoped-and feared-were
really so, what would be his duty to his
general-to his country? Against all enc
mics or oppressers whomsoever"-the words
of his oath of Office came ringing to his
ears-blazing before his eyes in letters of
fire-and without further ado he briefly
saw at the window makes il necessary

then. lifting his hat, stepped backward to
admit his unwelcome visitor. 1--WE are in

answer. Enter If you WILL

view and stood confronting him at the
doorway to the inner room the tall and
slender form of young girl. Eighteen she
might have been, not more, though anxiety
and grief had paled her pretty face. But
her great glorious eyes were all ablaze as
she folded her slender arms and, looking
the young officer squarely in the face, said:
This is my room. sir. and not subject to
search.
Slowly Fred Benton's gauntleted hand
went up to the visor, and the natty forage
cap was uplifted. The kindly yet kindIing

four boats unloaded on the st. Louis levees
10000 barrels of apples. three-fourths of
them from Illinois, the rest from Missouri.
OF these $500 were Ben Davis. Railroad

Methods of Milking.

Methods of milking have much influence
on the quantity of milk given by the cow.
and some think that faulty method also
affects the proportion of butter fat in the
milk. 1t a recent meeting Of the British
Dairy Association the subject was discussed
and an Interesting paper was read by Prim-
rose Mcconnell on the subject. He de-
scribed sthe stripping methods as that in

Philadelphia Record.
The finer the soil the more moisture it is
capable of absorbing and retaining. Mois-
ture cannot and does not penetrate into
heavy, tenacious soils, and when clods in
dry, they retain their dryness in the center
during the entire summer. When land is
made fine and free from clods the water
does not so readily flow back TO the sur
face nor is il so rapidly dried up during
the season, but is delivered to the surface
in proper proportions. The moisture which
is inclosed in the interstices of the soil and
which accumulates, is a large quantity.
When land has been plowed the soil ex-
pandS and contracts during the winter, ac
cording to the temperature, and many of
the coarse portions are pulverized, but in
spring, should the blowing of a field COM
posed of heavy soils be performed, and the
work followed by dry weather even the
harrow will sometimes fail to reduce il.
Flowing and narrowing must therefore be
done at proper times, and the judgment of
the farmer must be exercised to guide him.
The condition of a field should be similar
to that required for a garden. With a
small garden, where the spade and rake
are used care is taken to make the soil as
fine as possible. A field should be consid-
cred as garden on a larger scale. 1t re-
quireS more labor on garden plot than
for a field, but the garden produces twice
as much, in proportion to area, as the field.
Labor bestowed on field, so far as the
preparation of the soil is concerned. will
be amply repaid in the gain OF yield of the
crop. The soil always responds to good
treatment, fact which at one time gave
rise to the claim that well-cultiyated soil
required no manure, which claim, however,
is not correct but cultivation without
doubt largely increases the Yield
