that il is more convenient for monarchical than
republican governments to administer punish

come warm and dryish Do not har-
row and fit until few days before
planting If the planting be done
with a western two horse corn plant
er do not overfit the ground as in so
doing the land is likely to become
too compact and cold for starting the
corn quickly. Plant shallow if the
seeds are put in early; deep, if put
in rather late. We have practiced
cultivating corn with ten toothed
two horse riding corn cultivator be-
fore the corn comes through the
ground, then run weeder or smooth
ing harrow over to smooth and fine
the soil. On light and sandy lands,
not infrequently the weeder or har-
row may be used without preceding
them with the cultivator.

Twenty EIGHT bushels OF shelled corn

The large yields of corn are usually
computed from corn taken directly
from the shock early in the fall when
it may contain from 20 to 30.per cent
of moisture The best field crop we
have ever raised was so bushels and
