SEED CORN ESSENTIALS.
The Years Success Depends on Hsv-
Ing Good Seed On Hand at
Planting Time.


There are many essential points 10 be
vigorously observed in either selecting
or buying ed corn. In selecting from
ones own fields the earliest maturing
aud most perfect ears only should be
saved, and when n variety commences

Is time to get fresh seed. In sending
away for 81 ed, buy that grown in near
ly the same latitude a your own, or II
any change is made go little north in
preference to south. Understand your
fields. Don't pant large cared white
sorts-in feds better adapted to medi-
um size yellow sorts. The first move
ment toward making corn crop Is this
matter Of correct selection OF seed.
The quality Of the seed is the next inn
portent thing. Donot be satisfied with
stock" (crib' seed corn. BE willing to
pay good fair price. and then demand
high-bred seed. Order It from reputa-
bic growers or dealers and always or
der part OF II at least In ear. Then you
are planting with your eyes open
you know what to expect. Prof. Shamel
says on this question: "By highly-bred
seed IS meant seed that is the very
highest representative OF the inn
proved type. In other words, those ears
which as nearly as possible represent
the ideal ear. As every ear Is different
from every other ear, there can never
be a large number Of such ears. How
ever. this very fact Of wide varia tion
makes the Improvement OF varities pos
sib.e. II there was no variation from
which selection could be made there
could be no improvement. 1t Is by Sc
lecting those ears which vary in the
direction desired and discarGing the
poor ears that general advance can be
made" Having made a wise selection
and secured seed that will test for ger

The Reign OF Plenty In Missouri.
From The Kansas City Star.


The report Of the Secretary of tho
Missouri State Board OF Agriculture
calls attention to the splendid produc-
tiveness OF the fertile soil OF Missouri.
Such an aggregate Of crops has never
been known before in the states history
Missouri can always be depended upon
to make good showing in fam produc-
Is. There is no great agricultural state
in the Union more roliabl'. Yet this
year II has fairly outdone itself. Its
wheat and corn alone will put more
than 100 million dollars into pockets Of
its farmers.
In connection with the secrotary's re-
ports the census figures on the
agricultural products OF Missouri are of
Interest In 1900 they were valued at
2l9 million dollars-just twice the
estimate Of 1890. Few states did better.
In the census yenr Missouri was the
possessor Of 2,345,000 Eeat cattle, in
cluding "a million dairy COWS. Its hogs
we're estimated to number Az million,
IN it was surpassed in its 2i0,OO0 mules
only by Texas. tThe live stock OF its
farms was valued at 1601s million
dollars. Fifteen million .chickens sup

bees produced 3 million pounds of honey
Aftr selling 2j million gallons OF milk

cratS were inclined to weaken. They argued that it was possible that Miss Brava was alive and suggested that they look into the proof and if it were found that she is alive. that a new issue of some kind be raised.
 They pointed out that the evidence of her existence seemed to be pretty conclusive. Constable Gonzales had sent her photograph to an officer in Tucson and he had found here in the restaurant. She had acknowledged to him that she was Miss Brava; that she was not dead and admitted upon very searching inquiry that she had not been dead at any time since her departure from Phoenix. She said that her sym pathies were with the Young Mems Democratic club, and she almost re- gretted that she had not died accord ing to programme. She would do so yet, she said, if it was not too late.

 The ultraists would not listen to the suggestion. "No.' said they. "the split
 is too serious to be closed up now This information ought to have been secured by the courthouse ring sooner The case is ended. and it is too late now to bring in proof.

Author Who Was a Drunkard and Did
 Not Realize His Condition.

Not long ago M. Henry Fouquier, writing for Le Matin of the peculiari- ties of the French character, says of the use of alcohol
 Tn certain classes, at least, there is one alcoholic for every ten of the pop uiation. whether they be conscious of it or not. The devoted men who have made themselves the apostles of the crusade against alcohol, which I deem one of the greatest movements of our
 times, give in their pamphlets and
 their lectures, which cannot be too great in number, the eloquent picture oi the ravages that alcohol produces,
 in whatever manner it is introduced,
 into our economy. Only they do not
 insist enough, perhaps. on disguised alcoholism-that is. alcoholic poisoning
 in subjects that possess all appear
 ances Of temperance and who are real ly net drunkards. Hereditary or ac- Cuired, nervousness has SC developed
 in our race that the evil of alcoholism can cause it's havoc in men who do not suspect it.
 T knew literary man who was not only full of talent and a gallant man,
 but moreover of a most scrupulcus correctness Of life. He would have died of shame to be drunkard, yet he was one in his time. Experiencing nervous troubles, menacing symptoms of paralysis, he went, without reveal ing his identity, to a great physician. The doctor after a rapid examination, said, rather brusquely: You are los ing your time coming to see me. You
 know very well that if you want to be
 cured you have only to stop getting drunk
 Only those who know my friend can imagine the indignant stupefica- tion caused by the words of the doc tor.
 "I? I a drunkard. l was never in toxicated once in my life. I never
 enter cafe. I dine with my family Explanations followed. My friend drank one bottle Of wine a day and one finger of chartreuse after his coffee. For him that was alcoholism. We must understand it. Alcoholic poisoning exists outside even of habit ual intoxica ticn. The enemy of human reason can insinuate itself without noise, without excess, drop by drop, | one may say, and yet may take posses

 however, insisted on documentary evi-
 oence, and when it's leaders Were told
 that Miss Rrava was yet among the
 living they asked in a contemptuous
 manner to see the evidence. They said
 that they were MissoUrians by instinct. The opposition in the meantime was
 trying to show that the rumors were
 true and that the corpse of Miss Brava
 was net moldering in hidden gray, within the corporate limits of the city or even within the confines of the coun- tE. Yesterday in reply to frequent frantic messages of inquiry addressed

 The unfortunate young woman, it ap- pears, went on a Bohemian expedition with Philadelphia man friend. A re- sort in that city was first visited, and q day later Baltimore became the scene Of the story. The couple, through vir- tue Cf acquaintances here, visited q suburban club.

A JFROEE ENTERPRISE
G. w. Hull Will Tunnel Through a
 Copper Mountain.

G. w. Hull, the well known mining man and capitalist of Jerome, is now engaged in a mammoth mining enter prise, one of the largest ever under taken in the county ard is next in rank to the Poland tunnel says the Journal Miner. MT. Hull is one of the pioneers of Jerome in the matter of mining de velopment, and has always had an abiding faith in the merits of the prop critics there outside Of the ground owned by the United Verde company. MT. Hull has a force of men at work now on an enterprise which will proo- ably demonstrate the correctness or error of his judgment in this respect, but he has only one opinion in regard to it and that is that it will prove success and confirm his Judgment in regard to the district. The enterprise mentioned is the running Of a tunnel clear through the mountain adjoining the United Verde properties. He has selected as his site for this tunnel the tunnel site selected by the late J. R. Dillon of the Jerome Copper company, and which he ran into the hill a dis tanCe of over 1000 feet. MT. Hull com merced where Dillon left off and has added about twenty feet to the length of the tunnel since commencing Oper- ations, the total length of it now being 1,060 feet.
 The tunnel, when completed. will be a little over 3,600 feet in length, and at some points will be 1,200 or 1900 feet beneath the surface. It crosscuts the formatic and judging from croppings on the surface MT. Hull expects to cut at least four veins or ore bodies. He estimates that the first one will be en- countered within the next 100 feet from the present face of the tunnel, which is now in comparatively soft ground, with water enough to furnish steam for the engine which runs his air com DreSsorS.
 MT. Hull estimates the total cost oi the tunnel at between $30,0G0 and s40, GOO. The company, which is controlled by him and which is doing the work is the Cleopatra. Whenever a ledge Is struck, in addition to pushing work on the tunnel, it is his purpose to drift both ways on the ledge, and by this means it may be possible to obtain g sufficient amount of ore to pay all eX- penses before the tunnel is completed
 The tunnel will connect with the workings of the 1888 mine, property formerly owned by the United Verde Extension company. Work will be pushed on it as rapidly as possible un-

and disappeared. It is presumed that he boarded city-bound car and pos sibly returned to Philadelphia.
 Later, the same afternoon the young woman hopelessly intoxicated, was seen in company at the resort with a young Baltimorean known in sporting circles. The thread of the story was caught up again at the register of {. prominent hotel. There the pair regis tered under the surname of the Phila- delphia society man to whom the young woman was to have been married.
 Three days later the recognition oc- cured on Charles street, and on tn. fifth day after her disappearance she returned to her grief-stricken home and to her family, all keenly alive to the disgrace heaped upon them.
 Since then everything in the power of influence and wealth has been done to keep quiet the incident. The offer to the groom who was to be was among their efforts. The young man refused. Baltimore American.
