Diskino Land for Corn.

A correspondent writes us that hav-
ing heard of quite successful corn
growing in Illinois without blowing
the land first, inquiries whether one
can safely disk the corn land, list and
plant without the usual breaking.
Sometimes the lighter prairie soils are
prepared in this way and corn is plant
ed and does fairly well without first
breaking the land This has been so,
however, in seasons following deepwin-
ter freezing, and little spring rain to
run the soil together Only the light
blank soils mixed with some sand have
been successfully grown to corn by
disking, rather than breaking. In wet
spring seasons some risk is taken even
with these soils to plant in this way.
It is far safer to break the ground first
and pulverize it for corn. And the
clay loan should be always so treat.
ed, and it is best to break them
deeply. Disl1ing heavy soils and list
ing for planting would be a great mis-
take in any kind of a season. These
soils are run together and hardened by
the usual spring rains more than 9TH
ers are, and our correspondent would
make a mistake to undertake corn
growing on his clay loan lands by
merely disRing them.

Couahinu of Animals.

Naturally the dairyman is ever on
the lookout for trouble with his COWS
and one of them with a cough excites
him very much, because his first
thought is of tuberculosis. 1t is quite
natural for COWS to cough more or less
during cold weather, but 1t does not
follow that their lungs are affected.
If the cows are properly fed and
stabbed, kept out of draughts Of cold
air, yet furnished with good ventilated
quarters, any cough they may have
does not, as q rule, proceed from the
lungs. If the animal eats well and is
in good general health she is probably
all right. If, on the other hand, the
cough continues and she gets off In
her feed, then lose no time in consult
ing veterinarian, for the chances are
something serious is troubling her.

Raisjnu Bulbs.

Nearly all the flower bulbs, such as
hyacinths, tulips and daffodils, are Of

agent Of extensive Holland growers as
serts that practically every forral
greenhouse in the country grows the

attempt has been made to produce
bulbs in southern Virginia and Cali
fornia, but with limited success. The
Holland growers claim that our eli
mate is too changeable to produce
good results in bulbs, but other au-
thorities believe these profitable crops
could be grown in America if attempt

The Turnip Crop.

The turnip crop should be a leading
one, as a large supply can be secured
from an acre of land. The growing of
turnips for winter is during the sum-
mer season, but while the growing of
turnips is done somewhat carefully af-
ter the ground is ready for the seed,
the proper preparation of the ground
is not always made. Weeds grow rap
idly during warm weather, and to pro-
tect the turnips the land should be
plowed now, narrowed, and the weed
seeds permitted to sprout, using the
harrow as often as may be necessary
to destroy them. Just before seeding
the turnips the land should be worked
deep with cultivator, and .Gnen har-
rowed down again as fine as possible.
This will not only cause fewer weeds
to appear, but will also increase the
crop of turnips, both in the yield and
quality

The Black Locust.

On every farm that Is more or less
devoted to stock grazing there Is great
need Of shade in each pasture; fences
strong and durable are needed to re-
strain the stock. There is one tree OF
all others that is admirably adapted
to meet both requirements, and that
is the black locust. Growing in groves
in the pasture, 1t does not interfere in
any way with the production Of 6 ass,
for being legume of lofty habit,
grass will grow close around the trunk
and be Of nearly full strength from an
abundance of Sunshine near the roots.
Closely grown, nature does the prt1rl'
ing; otherwise they should be trimmed
to nearly whip. They grow well on
thin rough land, such as is found on
thousands 0f farms, growing worthless
shrubs, briers and weeds, which might
be the most remunerative acre on the
farm If planted thickly in black locust.
In reality there need be no waste land.
The post crop may be seven, eight, ten
or even twelve years in maturing, but
all the time post timber is getting
scarcer and higher. At seven years
one post may be had, but often it IS
policy to keep the ak off until the
tenth mile stone has been passed,
when the tree will have increased in
height and diameter sufficiently to
make three or four posts. A tail tree
that will clear 81 feet will cut four
sections of eight feet each; the first
may be Quartered, the second may
make two or three, the third one or
two and the top section one, making
eight or ten posts, according to size of
trunk. Locust posts are very durable,
being good for from Is to 40 years, ac-
cording to diameter and age when cut.
Another point, they hold nails and
staples as firmly as most woods do
screws. Another place where the To-
Gust does it's dual purpose stunt admir-
ably IS as Shade tree along the high
way. Farms SO beautified and Drovid-
Ell attract buyers.-E. w. j. in the
EDitOmist.

sassafras a Pest.

.Sassafras is one of the worst pests
that can find hold on field. Cut it
down, or even grub it up, and 1t will
-feappear almost unexpectedly, growing
rapidly and taking possession of the
land. There is time when it can be
removed to the best advantage, how
ever, and that is by grubbing about
the first Of September, removing the
roots, and then clearing off the field.
Should any plants appear next spring,
go into the field and touch little sui
phuric acid on each-half teaspoon
full will answer-and repeat should any
roots appear later, first cutting off all
plants that show above ground. This
is also an excellent method of eradi-
eating thistles and other weeds that
are difficult to remove.

A NATURAL ROMAN CANDLE.
Something Of the New Metal Radium

Something Of the New Metal Radium
and Its Wonderful Properties.
The new metal. radium. which has
been So mitch talked and written
about during the last few months,
turns out to be sort of natural Rom
an candle, since, in addition to Civ:
ing light, it also shoots of bodies OF
two different sizes. The light itself
from this mysterious substance is not
like ordinary light. Even a small
fragment sealed nip in glass tube
shines with a weird glow like frefly,
but bright enough to read by. More
over; If these rays fall on certain
other substances, as, for example,
diamonds; it causes them also to glow
with similar unearthly radiance;
and like the "X rays" which enable
one to see his own bones, they will
go through plank or dictionary
We never use metallic radium, be-
cause it has never been entirely sepa.
rated from other material. We haven't
it to use. We are therefore compelled
to be content with some salt "a mix
ture) OF the metal One eXperimenter
consequently placed the least pinch OF
radium bromide IN a glass tube, and
screwed it tightly inside Of rubber
thermometer-case: This he put in
an iron box, with a silver sodp-tureen
and four sheets Of copper above it,
yet in some ways the rays got out.
After all, l don't know that it is any
more difficult to understand why this
light goes through iron than why the
light of a candle goes through glass.
But a piece of radium, in addition
to giving off these peculiar rays, sends
out such shower of particles that
it is like a sort Of exploding battery
of tiny rapid-fre guns. These, as /
said at the beginning, are of two
sizes. The smallest are the smallest
particles known to science. Indeed,
as they travel some two hundred
times faster than a bullet from rifle,
they must needs be pretty small not
to wipe out everything within range.
The others are much larger, perhaps
by a thousand times, and they do not
travel so fast But even these are so
small that, after millions upon mil
lions of them have been shot off, the
most careful weighing with balance
for which a hair is a heavy weight
cannot detect any loss Now these
smaller bodies are the mysterious
"electrons" which as they stream
against the walls of Crookes tube,
produce the X-rays. So they seem
quite like old friends. The larger
ones come still nearer home. They
are like the minute particles of vapor
which are always being sent off by
any substance, such as water, or al
cohol, or camphor, or ice, which Is
drying up or wasting away. But the
remarkable thing about radium is
that, while the gas which goes off In
to the air from these familiar sub
stances is still water or alcohol or
what not, the gas from radium is not
radium at all. but belium.V From Ed

A Volume of Statistics.

The volume of statistics just issued
by the London County Council con-
tains some interesting figures bearing
on the condition of London. The most
remarkable fact brought under notice
! is the steady decline in the birth rate.
In 1867 it reached a little over 367s per
4 1000, while in 1902 it fell to little
over % per 1000. The death rate in
1902 was the lowest ever recorded ex-
eept that of 1901, which was slightly

Plant Seed in Moist Soil.

Never plant seeds in dry soil, or in
son that is less moist than the seeds,
as the dryer soil will extract the mois-
ture from the seeds, and the germ will
die. The failure of crop seeding in
sandy soils last spring was due to this.
Farmers put in the seed in d time Of
drouth, to "have 1t there ill ready
when the rains should come" Coming
late, it found the seed as If dried in an
oven and with the germs all dead.
Especially was this the case where the
seed had been soaked to hasten ger
mination.-Midland Farmer.

When CUTTING Short Grain.


( When cutting very short grain with
a harvester, considerable difficulty is
often experienced, as the short cut
grain will accumulate upon the sickle
bar in such quantity as to clog the
sickle. And it will be found that If

this, the short grain ls thrown too far
back Upon the platform and scattered
so badly that 1t cannot be properly
