CORN FOR THE sILo.
Methods of Preparing Land. Plant
ing and Cultivation.

AA8 uhu SaAtANa NhOAs
The methods of growing corn for the
st1O are practically the same as those
for growing corn for any other pur-
pose. American Agriculturist sums
them up thus: Begin by blowing the
ground to a good depth and follow with
harrow or disk. working until the
clods are pulverized and the land in the
very best condition. When the soil
Is we'll warmed up. sag the last week
of April or any time in May, plant at
the rate of about one bushel of seed to
six or seven acres. The kernels can be
dropped in drills or hills. Some growers
prefer one way and some the other.
For silage corn the aim should be to
get good growth of the entire plant.
A medium sized stalk with heavy foil
is the most desirable. If the corn is
planted in hills. try to get three or four
grains in each hill. If drilled, try to
have one stalk to every foot. Any va
riety which grows well in the locality
will answer. 1t is not necessary to
plant special silage corn.
Cultivation of silo corn should be
thorough and frequent. AS soon as
weeds appear, even If this be before
the corn plant shows above ground, go
over the field with a slant tooth har-
row or some kind of a weeder. The
weeder is preferable on many soils, as
it Is very effective and it is possible for
one man to go over very large area In
day. If the spring happens to be
wet, neither the weeder nor the disk
harrow is entirely satisfactory. Charles
Rowe of Illinois states that under such
conditions he has used the spading har-
row with excellent results. This is
simply disk with slightly bent fingers
three or four inches in length. all
around the outside of the disk.
After this go over the corn with a
cultivator having small shovels. Run
close to the corn and dig out or cover
up all weeds. The next cultivation
should not be quite so deep and little
farther away from the corn. Ahe third
cultivation should be still shallower
the idea being to avoid breaking roots
In most cases one treatment with the
weeder and three civilizations are sutfi
Gent In other localities and seasons
four will be necessary. Corn should
not be cut for the silo until the grains
are we'll denied and the lower leaves
dried and the entire plant fairly wei
matured The silage will be more sat
isfactory, being sweeter than from corr
cut earlier. There will be q larger
amount of it.

In order to cushion the lower ends of
the corner posts of the jouncer they
are chamfered off to q point. As there
are no stones in the apiary, when the
Jouncer strikes the ground the jouncer
is broken just enough to prevent the
combs from breaking.
The benefits derived from this meth.
cd of getting bees off the combs are all
in the line of rapid manipulation. In
the American Bee journal not many
months ago Mr.. Davenport caught on
to this idea and applied it to the COM

Adams Property at Spokane Has
Been Leased for King Faro.
Spokane, April 19.-Charles Fran
els Adams, the great grandson of
John Adams and grandson of John
quincy Adams, overseer of Harvard
university and ex-president of the
Union Pacific, will soon begin to
draw revenue from a building in Spo-
kane leased for one of the most elab-
crate gambling places in the United
States. The property is the new build
ing at sthe corner of Stevens and
Main. 1t belongs to the Adams real
estate trust, which was formed to
handle the estate left by the late
Charles Francis Adams, father of the
present head of the house. Charles
Francis Adams is a trustee of the
trust, as is his nephew Charles
Francis.
Harry Green and Harry Fazon, two
OF the four men who have leased the
building for a gambling house, say
that it was erected and specially
fitted for them by j. D. Sherwood, To-
cal agent of the Adams real estate
trust. A dispatch from Boston says
the Adams family denies knowledge
of the building having been leased for
gambling, and that if such action is
taken the tenants will be ousted

Trio Of Germans Bound for kaIispeIl
Sightseeing in Helena

sightseeing IN Helend
Violent contrasts in the prices of
things in this country and in Ger
many were the chief wonder of three
men who reached Helena yesterday
on their way from Europe to Kalis-
pell, where they will establish them
selves as farmers. They had won
dered at the size of the country, had
admired the mountains, but the Trices
Oh things in Montana startled them.
Arnold Muche and Frederick and
Ludwig Sidon are the names of the
newcomers. During their brief stay
in Helena they were cared for at the
local office of the Great Northern.
Last night they departed for their flu
ture home in the northwestern part
of the state.
"A mark for two cigars" exclaimed
Muche, when informed that % cents,
the equal of a mark, is the prevailing
price in Montana, that is very much.
In our country 1t is not that much"
The immigrants were also surprised
that their custom made clothes, which
cost about SIS for the suit, could not
be obtained from a tailor here for
less than four or five times that
amount.
All the men come from Posen, Ger
many, where they left their families,
pending the finding of a location here.
They decided to come to Montana
after hearing of the fertile soil and
bounteous crops of the Flathead
country from a brother of Muche,
who began ranching there two years
ago. They were also attracted by the
high wages paid in this country and
reports of general prosperity.
In illustrating the difference in the
prices of everything, the men stated
that their shoes cost them six marks
or $3.50, and their satchels four
marks, or 81. Everything else is in
proportion In Germany, the men said
For this reason they wondered Great
ly at the high prices in this country
Labor in Germany is very cheap
said the men. A boy until he is &c
years old, receives about $25 a yeal

pay for a man is so cents a day
Many girls become servants in Ger

amounts to about SIS a year, in addi

country said the men, that there was

SEARCH GIVEN UP.
Mystery of Disappearance of r. G
Barnum Remains Unsolved.

Barnum Remains UnsolVed.
The hunt for r. G. Barnum, who
disappeared near Jennings some time
ago, has been abandoned and it is
probable that the mystery surround
ing the case will never be cleared up.
Barnum, in company with a compan-
ion, left their cabin in the hills north
of Jennings in the latter part of Feb
ruary on a hunting trip. Banks re-
turned, but Barnum was never seen
again and has disappeared as COM
pletely as if the earth had opened and
swallowed him.
When questioned, Banks maintained
that he and Barnum had gone in diff,
ferent directions and that he knew
nothing of the cause of his disap-
pearance. Suspicion of foul play was
aroused and Banks was placed under
arrest after a lapse of several days
on the chance that he knew more
than he cared to say. Nominally, the
charge against him is leaving the
state while under bonds, but the rea

One Thing md Another.

According to a Canadian authority,
pasturing sheep on turnips is more
profitable than on grass, and it is an
advantage to feed grain and hay in adj
dition.
A land boom due to the high prices
secured for brush is reported from the
broom corn belt.
The sand cherry is pronounced by
Professor Hansen promising new
type of fruit for the northwest.
Dried grasshoppers ground to powder
and then pressed into bricks that are
easily crumbled up for use is a new
western poultry food.
The oiling of roads seems to give sat
isfaction in California.
Arrangements will soon be made to
introduce into New Jersey on a large
scale the predaceous ladybird recently
imported by the United States govern
ment to feed on the pernicious scale.
The Kalispell bee. [volume] (Kalispell, Mont.) 1900-192?, 1902-04-23

motive for his detention is to hold
him until the case is cleared up.
For the past two or three weeks
a searching party has been in the
hills in the attempt to find some clue
as to Barnums mysterious absence,
but up to date nothing has been
found that would throw any light on
abandoned.
Banks is still in custody and will
probably be tried on another charge.

Michigan has had ample snow protec-

other story. In the latter state the

While on the average it's fruit is not
