Many Of the old mines, abandoned
years ago as worthless, are just now
receiving some attention at the hands
of mining investors. Over around the
Cerbat country are some of the best
OF mining prospects that should not
be overlooked by men with money to
buy promising prospects. Water will
soon be developed for all purposes in
the mines of that region and low grade
ores can be worked there at profit.
Practically all the mines of the Cerbat
country can be reached by wagon.

Sir Edward clarke's Career.

Sir Edward Clarke was predestined

years old in 'learning the business" I"

The Marvels of Corn Culture.

Thousands of practical instances
could be given TO show the value Of
improved varieties of corn. For in
stance, one southern Illinois farmer.
more progressive than the rest, was
induced TO secure enough improved
seed TO plant three hundred acres as
result of his study Of corn in the Him
ois College of Agriculture. These
three hundred acres out-yiclded all of
the other fields on his farm more than
thirty bushels per acre; and, SO far
es could be determined the fields of
that entire section yielded about thir-
ty bushels per acre. This increase in
yield meant total gain of about nine
thousand bushels, which represented a
cash value of about four thousand dol
lars for that season. AS this increase
did not represent an increased cost of
production. the gain was pure profit.
In another case, farmer in Central
Illinois became interested in improved
seed-corn. through the school of corn
Judging in the Illinois Agricultural
College. Ho secured enough seed.
grown by corn-breeder, to plant so
acres. As a result, he raised almost
% bushels more per acre on his field
than where the ordinary seed was
planted. The next year, over one thou
sand acres were planted with improved
seed; and last year over seven thous-
and acres of improved corn, from the
more carefully selected seed, was
grown on this farm. In addition, there
were thirty breeding fields laid out for
the purpose of systematic and scienti-
&c Improvement of the varieties grown
at this place, In northern Illinois the
manager of a large farm became in
terested in the benefits Of improved
seedcorn. with the result that last year
nearly three thousand acres of improv-
ed corn we're grown, and several breed
ing fields wero established.-A. d.

CLEANING New Ground.

The general idea of cleaning up new
ground is to grub It during the winter
and break II up during the following
spring, letting IL lie fallow during the
sumner and putting in grain crop in
the fall. IL may not be generally
known that six months time may he
gained by the following plan: Assum-
Ing the field is in weeds and briors, cut
them down with heavy scythes this
month, gather in piles and burn. Then
plow roughly but thoroughly and deep
ly. This will he the hardest part of
the work. requiring the services Of
heavy teams and plows: then run over
the field both ways with n disk harrow,
followed with n spring tooth harrow,
and then with a smoothing harrow
Keep the work up until seed bed
suitable for wheat is had, and at the
proper time SOW wheat or any other
grain better suited TO soil and locality.
The constant use of the harrow will
clean out most Of the brier roots and
the ground will yield good crop.
