Wh.n 20 P1ow for Corn.

Usually it is better to plow for corn
in the spring. because if the land is
plowed in the fall it has tendency
to become solid-that is, run togeth-
err more or less by the winter and
spring rains, and this results in keep
ing the ground cold in the spring.
Corn. above most other plants raised
on the farm, requires warm soil rath-
er early in the season. Plow two to
three weeks, If the land is in good con-
dition, before the time of planting,
and allow the burrows to lie for this
period without being narrowed

Business by Mail.

The world is jsut beginning to realize
the advantages and economies of doing
business by mail. When these things
are fully understood there will be de-
mand for better facilities for the re-
mission of money than now exist, and
it will be most emphatic. The post
check system is evidence Of such de-
mand. It provides perfectly safe and
economical plan of sending money
through the mails at a minimum cost
to the sender; and he can hardly lose
except by his own negligence. The plan
has been before the public for some
time and no valid objections have been
found. An innovation that promises so
much at so little expense should be
given a trial

"Hit Me; I'm Big Enough"

He wasn't very big, but he was a
sturdy little chap with face that bore
the marks of much thinking and pre-
ward that he was supporting crippled
mother and an invalid sister who had
been left helpless in the world by the
death of her father. He might have
run away from home and evaded the
responsibility, but he didn't think Of it
He just sold papers.
At the loop on 10th street crowd
was gathered, waiting for the evening
cars. A ragged little girl was selling
flowers at the 10Th street end of the
waiting station when a man, rushing to
catch his car, knocked her against the
side of the building. Without stopping,
probably not having noticed what he
the boy stepped in front of him, de-
family.
"Say, what do you want to knock a
girl down for? Hit me; I'm big enough"
The man paused in surprise, and then
glanced around. He saw the flower girl
picking up her wares, and understood.
Without a moments hesitation he went
back to her, gave her money enough
to make her eyes sparkle with JOY, and
said:
I'm sorry, my dear, that hurt you.
1 didn't see." Then, turning to the boy,
he continued: You said you were big
enough, young man, but you're great
deal bigger than you think. Men like
you will have lot to do with keeping
this old world in condition of self
respect
Then he caught his car and the boy
and the girl stood there wondering

Country Life.

Country life has ever been celebrated
in song and story for its freedom from
the many shams and demoralizing in
f1uences of city life which tend SO
largely to narrow the sympathies of
the city-bred person, and to make him
callous, selfish and artificial, says the
Small Farmer. Life in the country en-
ables the mind to expand and the ca
pacities for enjoyment to grow in a
natural and healthy manner. The
pleasures that are supplied by nature
are not only more accessible than the
superficial pleasures of the city. but
they are also more refining in their in
f1uence. The lives Of Americas great
men bear a striking tribute to this
truth. Most, if not all, of our illus
trious men were born in simple coun-
try homes where plain living and high
thinking early developed those sturdy,
upright qualities of mind and heart
which In after years helped to make
them mighty leaders in every depart
ment Of human effort-Green's Fruit

Charities Ride.

It was a bright, crisp winter morn
ing, and Charlie Mason felt full of life.
So he took his sled and went up the
road to the big hill." to slide.
The road was hard and smooth, and
he had fine time with his new sled.
He would walk briskly up the long
hill, and then come down rushing
through the air like train of cars.
In a short time he grew tired of
climbing the hill, and started for home.
Just then his brother Hugh came
along, riding on their old horse, Fan
ny.
"Wait minute, Hugh" cried Char

"How can you ride? There isn't

"Great and mighty king" said the
youth, in a tone that gave evidence of his
truth, 81 think God will answer my pray
ers as quickly as those of any of my peo-
pie, and so far as the Natchez are in the
right, will l pray for them"
''And thou wilt tell him all the wrongs
we suffer, and all the indignities that are
heaped upon usT'
II will" replied White Hand
''Then thou shalt be the well-beloved
of the Natchez. Let us return now, and
as we go, l will tell thee more. The
white chief at Rosalie is called Chopart.
He is bad man, and liar. l dare not
tell thee all the evil he has done. But
he has robbed us of our cattle, and We
can have no redress. He has encroa he'd
upon our lands, and we cannot drive him
off. But o! the day of .deckoning must
come. Beware, my son, that thou lettest
not thy sympathy run with these bad
men, for the hour is nigh at hand-the
hour of vengeance and retribution!'
The king spoke no more, only to bid
White Hand goodnight when they reach
ed the dwelling. and soon the youth was
with his princess. Truly his situation
was a strange one. and that night he
prayed long and fervently, but he dared
not let his wife know all his prayer.

Feeding Of Farm An;ma1..

Requests for the bulletin issued by
the Department of Agriculture entitled
1.-THE Feeding of Farm Animals" have
been SO numerous that reprint has
become necessary. This little book
makes a dozen or more suggestions
and pointed remarks regarding the
wants and desires of stock and what
conduces to their happiness and con-
tentment, and therefore to their best
condition, which could probably be
read with profit by almost every farm
er in the country, certainly by those
who do not make speciality and a
study Of stock raising and breeding.

Cooling Milk.

Bottled milk cools quickly in tank
of ice water and can be kept cool by
a small expenditure of ice. If bottles
with pasteboard caps are used, they
may be entirely submerged In fact,
several tiers may be placed in vat,
with thin boards between the tiers to
keep them in upright position, and
thus prevent breaking. If tin caps are
used for closing bottles, submerge
them up to the necks. Place the Ice in
first, then little water-experience
will determine how much-then place
the bottles of milk and fill up with wa
ter to the desired height. Do not let
the ice melt entirely. 1t is preserved
somewhat longer by throwing a canvas
or board covering over the top.-Den-
yer Field and Farm.

Fish Make Sounds,

Many fish can produce musical
sounds. The red gurnard has earned
the name Of seacock from the growing
noise which it makes, while another
species Is called the piper. Others,
notably two species Of ophidium, have
sound producing apparatus consisting
Of small, movable bones which can be
made to produce a sharp rattle. The
curious drumming made by the Med
iterranean fish known as the maigre
can be heard from a depth of thirty
fathoms.

The Road to Success.

Farm success depends on knowledge,
on industry, enterprise and thrift. on
saving and making the income exceed
the outgo, on good fnanciering and
management, on ready adjustment to
new conditions, on love Of the busi-
ness and on good wife. who takes an
interest In her husbands work, says
G. h. Gleason, in New England
Farmer. There is no dividing line
between the home and the farm. The
presiding genius Of the farm and the
household are the two factors which
makes complete whole; one pulls and
the other pushes. To be successful
farmer one must be good citizen and
his life radiate the community.

German Children Walk,

If were asked what is the favorite
amusement of German children,
should answer, taking long walks into
the country. The love Of nature seems
to be born with most of them. Be
sides, they are sturdy young folks, and
are perfectly willing to put up with
inconveniences For these reasons they
are just the people to enjoy walking in
the country, and the practice begun
in childhood is kept up during life.
When the children go on these long
walks, they often carry what we
should call botanical box (that is.
tin box about a foot and half long,
with rounded edges, and a lid on
hinges), slung over the shoulder by
strap.-St. Nicholas.

What a Farmer shon1d Know.


In agriculture, as in manufactures,
success consists in securing the larg-
est and best production at the small
est expenditure of force, time and
money. Evidently the farmer who
aims at such success must have an
understanding Of plant life and what
proportion of its sustenance it draws
respectively from the air and the soil.
He must know the chemical constitu-
ents of the latter and the treatment
which it requires to restore the plant
food exhausted by his crops. He must
have a knowledge of the climates de-
manded by different cereals, vegeta-
bles and fruits. He must be acQuaint-
ed with the diseases and insect pests
which endanger both plant and ami
NAL life, and should know how to treat
them. He should be familiar with the
principles Of animal nutrition and the
value of food. In addition to all the
expert knowledge required, there are
those mental qualities which are de-
veloped by scientific training, keen
perception and an alert habit Of mind.
a full appreciation Of the value Of
facts and hospitality to new ideas, to-
gether with that fexibility which en-
ables It's possessor to adapt himself
more readily to changed conditions.

Growing Catch Crops,


Less attention seems to be given to
catch crops of late than their value
warrants. In certain sections where
the grain crops are harvested by the
middle or last of June, both peas and
sey beans, may be sown and will fur
nish good food during the fall In
colder sections buckwheat may be
made the catch crop and will be espe-
cially valuable on poor land where the
straw may be plowed under after har-
vest to furnish much needed humus to
the soil Buckwheat is not appreciated
as 1t should be, especially on poor
soils. 1t is an excellent crop to raise
where bees are a part of the farm out
fit, and if grown after grain crop or
after an early hoed crop it will great
" benefit the poorest soil by disposing
of the straw as suggested, the root
growth by its nature also adding hui

Plant Tree. on Farms.


The fuel situation in the Northwest
the past winter further emphasizes the
necessity for planting trees on the
arms Of the West. Corn has been
burned In many localities where wood
could not be had, where farmers have
heretofore depended wholly upon coal.
In other places hay, straw and beans
were used for fuel None Of these
products make good fuel and many Of
them are expensive Probably no.

planting trees been more apparent
than in South Dakota, and this State
Is an example Of what may be done
by tree culture. twenty-five years
ago the State was practically barren
of timber. The timber claim law was
the favorite with landseekers, who
were after government land in those
days, and this law is responsible for
the great growth of trees that is now
found in that State, and which places
the farmers beyond dependence upon
the railroads or coal barons.-St. Paul
