How to Grow the Best Corn.

One Of the best corn rairers in this
part of the country gives US the follow
ing regarding the breeding up of corn
Farmers should begin at once pre-
pairing their seed corn by selecting
the best ears and taking four or Eve
kernels from tfereut parts of each
ear and make termination tests of a
large proportion of their seed corn in
this manner.
After being certain Of the vitality
of the seed they should then she'll OFT
the kernels at tips ard butts of the
ears so that the kernels will be as
near equal in siz7 as possible and
dropped evenly three kernels to each
kill. Take your planter and make
tests to assure the uniform dropping
OF three kernels to the hill at least
ninety times out Of one hundred by
fling the openings in the planter
plates to the proper size to cor, es-
pond with size Of the kernels and this
will give an assurance of q more
even stand. The two important points
are vitality OF seed and an even stand
and every farmer can we'll afford to
bend several days time preparing his
seed corn.-Martin County Sentinel.

Regret His Departure.

Prof. n S Hilleboe, who was elected
to the position of principal of the
Willmar Seminary for the coming
year at a recent meeting OF the board
of trustees, has, after giving the
matter further consideration, decided
to accept. We are sure that every
one, particularly the teachers and the
scholars. will regret to see him go.
During the five years he has been
here he has worked hard and loyalty
for the welfare Cf the school The
record be has made speaks for itself.
Bis good VOL In connection with the
school debatir g teams will long be
remembered. We have one consol-
alton, that is, he will not be very far
away from US. We are sure he will
come to Benson fire. quently to give US
some Of his excellent talks. The pro-
lessor will be thoroughly at home at
the Seminary for he WAS in charge of
it for Is years prior to coming here
We understand that prominent citi-
zen is taking round petition for
signatures, asking the board of edu-
cation to do what they can to retain
Prof Hilleboe's services. Thepetition
was to be presented to the DO I'd last
evening.-Benson Monitor.

The people Of Breckenridge are
having serious time with their
village finances, it being evident from
newspaper reports that they are atflic-
ted with a council which has the art of
spending public funds down pat. A
commun ication in the telegram calls
attention to the fact that during the
past fiscal year something over 1873, 900
were spent in running the affairs OF
the village. At that the interest bear
ing debt of the town was increased
during that period by nearly $1,000

the ground is level, 40 heavy rains
will oftentimes wash the top soil away,
especially before the lawn has had
time to become we'll established.
The surface should be made perfect
ly level, and after this the seed may
be sown, from four to six bushels of
seed per acre.
A less quantity can, OF course, be
used, but the larger the quantity the
more speedily will good lawn be OBJ
tanned. Some Of the grasses are ''slow
spreading,' and if not we'll seeded,
weeds are likely to gain q footing in
the open spaces. One-half of the seed
should be sown In one direction. At
ter this Is done the other halt should
be sown at right angles. In this way
an even distribution of the seed is OBJ
tanned, especially by those OF in the
habit Of sowing grass seed. All seed
should be sown broadcast by hand.
After it is thus applied the rake
should come into play and all irequal-
tiles of surface emoothed.
The lawn should then be gone over
with roller to press the seed into the
ground. If q garden roller is not at
tainable and the lawn is not too large
the work can be done with large
board, the object in all cases being to
obtain smoothness. Water III 'uld be
freely used as constant watering gives
the healthy appearance to grasses
which is so generally admired. After
the grass Is in good condition It
should be cut every week or ten days
during the season.

HOW ABOUT THE LAWN
Wi|Imar Has a Few Pretty Lawns
But There is Room for I'm.
prOVement.

The following suggestions have been
gathered from the experiences of some
very successful lawn growers and we
gladly reprint them from a recent
article in the Minneapolis Journal:
After the lawn is graded, the first
thing is to give the entire surface a
thick coating Of black earth. This is
q prime requisite. A lawn cannot
thrive unless it have an abundance of
d7cayed vegetable matter to feed up
on. If the ground is sloping, thick
er dressing is necessary than VIII re

GENERAL ROBERT E. LEE IN THE FIELD.
had succeeded at Gettysburg, and that
was everything. A certain headQuar-
ters clique was busily discussing how
Meade came near being defeated at
Gettysburg and how he won out by the
diers knew nothing. The army had
scored tremendous victory. and
Meade was at the head Of it.
Furthermore. Meade in personality
was the exact opposite Of two generals
who had led the army to disaster and
yet were especially popular with the
troops, Burnside and Hooker. When it
comes to matter Of life or death, Of
an endless war or progress toward VIC
tory, volunteers will not let their per-
sonal preference count in the matter OF
loyalty to leader. At that stage OF
the game leader might be camp ty-
rant. yet if he won battles the men
would swear by him.
Meade's handling of the army after
Gettysburg lifted him in the eyes Of
the soldiers when at last they stood on
the banks Of the Rapidan, the Kappa
hammock behind them, Richmond in
front and the slaughter pen at Freder-
icksburg avoided. Men are ready to
fight and bleed with fair prospect of
winning, but they protest against hope
less slaughter, and the commander who
aims to save them from that may count
upon their devotion.
1t is true that Lee took his stand on
the Rapidan and drew Meade after
him, but Lees tactics were decided by
the necessity of guarding the pass at
Orange Court House. which Meade
would have seized if given opportunity.
Thus Lee on the Rapidan was the out
post guard of Richmond. and Meade
camped at the gates of the citadel to
watch and wait for the opening of the
battle season Of 1864.

GREAT INTEREST IN REFORMS
War Takes Second Place in Russian
Public Opinion.

st. Petersburg, Dec. 3l.-The agi
tated state of public opinion through
out the country over the reforms ap-
parently continues unabated. The war
has distinctly taken a second place.
Despite the governments warning to
the press the papers discuss the situa-
ton pointedly but guardedly. While
the understanding is that the commit
tee Of ministers intends in considering
the various reforms outlined in the
imperial manifesto to consult with
the classes interested the fear is quite
openly expressed that the proposed
measures may be smothered ny the
cumbrous bureaucratic machinery be-
fore they are eventually crystailzed
into laws, thus sharing the fate of
many former beneficent intentions OF
the monarch. AS a means of avoiding
such catastrophe the papers press
more Or less openly the adylsablllty
of the committee of ministers securing
the direct cooperation of legally elect
ed representatives of the various

VOTE TO CONTINUE STRIKE
FALL RIVER (MASS.) TEXTILE
UNIONS WILL NOT RETURN
TO THEIR WORK.

Fall River, Mass, Dec. 31.-The
cotton mills strike will continue. A
majority of all the unions involved
have voted in favor of continuance
The total vote of the unions on the
question of continuing the strike was
1,40l in favor and 420 against.
The strike is against 12R per
cent reduction in wages and has been
in effect since last July.
The call for meetings OF the unions
to vote on continuance OF the con-
test was prompted by an agitation of
the question whether the employees
should return to work under the reduc-
tion and renew the strike later II
wages were not advanced. II was
also stated in mill circles that the ma
jority of the union men We're ready TO
return to work, but that the leaders
were keeping them from from doing
So Accordingly it was decided to sub
nit the question to vote, with the
result that in total of 1921 ballots
cast there was majority of 911 in
favor of continuing the strike.
