Pointa In Corn Growing,

Points In Corn Growing.
The art of raising corn Is summed
up in Indiana Farmer: The cut Of
corn plants in a row distance part Is
shown for the purpose Of impressing
the reader with the Importance Of bet
ter methods Of cultivation than those
formerly pursued In other words, to
show the necessity Of shallow level
cultivation after the corn plant Is a
few feet high.
This country has the only produc-
tive and profitable corn belt in the
world. The demand and increasing
price of corn in the last Eve years
have raised the annual production to
about 2,OOO,OOO,OOO bushels, and yet
the average per acre for the whole
country is only PAP bushels. 1t is
rather remarkable fact that on the
poor soils Of New England the aver
age production per acre Is largest.
This is doubtless due to the fact that
better fertilization, cultivation and
seed selection Is practiced there. 1t
is very well known that there is great
advantage in seed selection. Many
instances of this have shown that on
the same quality Of soils fifteen bush
els per acre have been produced, more
than where the work Of selecting seed
was neglected. Again, 1t has been
shown that corn growing on lands the
previous year in leguminous crops has
greatly increased in production.
The best corn growers now begin
cultivation with weeders or harrows
before, or by the time, the corn be-
gins to appear above the ground, this
both for the purpose of destroying the
terminating weeds as well as to put
the soil in better condition for corn
growth. 1t is always important that
the ground be stirred after rains,
where crust forms and starts rapid
evaporation of the moisture. 1t Is
we'll settled now that a good dust
mulch of two or three inches depth
Is one of the things necessary in corn
cultivation.
Formerly deep cultivation was prac-
ticed, but it is now seen that this was
mistake. When the crop is three
or four feet high the ground begins to
mat with the fine flbrous roots which
extend from row to row, as shown In
the cut When six to eight feet high
these fine root feeders Of the plant
have made a complete mat between
the rows. In deep cultivation, reach.
ing down to five or six inches, these

DIGGING IN ANCIENT RUINS.
Light Thrown on Grecian Life by Dis
coveries Made at O1bia.

Light Thrown on Grecian Life by Dis.
coveries Made at Olbia.
Interesting and valuable archaeo-
logical discoveries have been made on
the site Of the ancient Greek city
Olbia. The site is situated on the
southern bank of the Boug, about mid
way between Otchakoff and Nicolaieff,
and not far distant from the estuary of
the Dneiper. This ancient city was a
colony Of Miletus $50 B. G. and was
a great center for Greek trade with
the interior. 1t Is generally maintain
ed among archaeological authorities
that trade route extended from Olbia
across country to the northern sea, and
when a find of ancient Greek coins
was made 1t was contended to be sub
stantial proof Of the fact Recently,
however. 1t was proved that these coins
were spurious.
Olbia was destroyed by the Getae
about 10 to 60 B. c.. but it revived
and when it was visited by Dion Chry-
sostum about 100 A. D. 1t was again
flourishing city. The excavations
that are now in progress upon the site
of this city are being carried out by
NJ. Formakovski under the auspices Of
the Russian Archaeological Society. M.
Formakovski has succeeded in unearth-
ing extensive portions Of the walls and
foundations of the original city, which
date back from the seventh century,
B. g. The masonry is Identical with
that of the ruins Of ancient cities ex-
cavated in various parts Of Greece.
Before this depth was reached two diff
ferent strata of walls and Easements
bearing descriptions Of the fourth and
first centuries B. G. were encountered.
The stone blocks composing the ruins
Of houses, temples, etc, in these upper
strata are of remarkably exact area,
square proportions and excellently
dressed. The more solid constructive
work is, however, found in the remains
Of the original city. At this depth
served wine cellar. Some fifty huge
jars or vases had evidently contained
red wine, now turned to a light pow
derry substance. A large collection of
valuable antiques in gold, marble and
ancient pottery has also been found
in these newly uncovered ruins. These
have been dispatched to the Hermitage
at st. Petersburg. NJ. Formakovski
however, Is carefully examining every
antique unearthed, to establish It's gen.
uine character, as 1t was on this site
that the spurious tiara Of saitapharnes
now in the Louvre, was alleged to have
been discovered.

through the board about an inch and
projecting above the tiling about the
same distance-that is, two inches.
Now fill In the tiling to the top with

clear mixture of sand and cement

Should the outer covering Of tlling

At THE CHURCH PARADE

q YRIL THORNTON was abso-
II lutely broke to the world. Not
~ the ordinary want of "fver"
brokenness, but the real downright
thing, for he had not penny In the
world.
More than that, he had no belongings
which he could deposit with his avunc-
ular relative for valuable considera-
ton. More than that, he had not even
an attic to sleep in.
Neither wine nor cards brought him
to this stage, but pure, unadulterated
bad luck. A gentleman by birth, and
with a luxurious bringing up, he had
found himself suddenly thrown on his
own resources.
1t was a beautiful morning In June.
London was filled with fashionable
people, and from some feeling Of
''cussedness' Cyril went to church pa
rade in the park. His shabby clothes
did not worry him, for he had no false
sense of pride.
He walked listlessly along, watching
the fairest collection Of feminine
beauty that the world holds. Cyril al
ways had an eye to the beautiful
The crowd was thinning away when
he saw ahead of him an elderly man OF
aristocratic appearance. BY his side
walked a young girl with the loveliest
face that he had ever seen. The man
signaled coachman, and victoria
pulled up near the curb.
AS the girl was entering the car
riage, Cyril saw something glitter from
her wrist and fall into the road. He
was just hurrying to pick it up when
the carriage rapidly drove away.
He quickly stopped down and saw g
magnificent diamond bracelet, in the
center of which was big black pearl
With a hurried movement he thrus
It into his pocket and looked hastily
around. No one had observed the Incl
dent.
He slept In the park that night ant
wrestled with mighty temptation
His better thoughts were vanquished
and the following morning he pawnet
the bracelet with confding pawn
broker for fifty pounds.

Some men make the mistake Of "one
man starting more work than two can
finish"
Keep the chickens out of the gar
den and give them plenty to do on the
outside.
When fed dry, shelled corn is more
economical than corn meal to feed to
fattening hogs.
If the conditions are favorable,
August is the best time to set out
strawberry plants.
To obtain the best results the farm
work must be done in the best manner
and at the proper time.
The housefy lives about ten days,
during which time 1t can give at least
month Of trouble to the house
keeper.
Quantity in clover hay counts for
less than quality. Now is the time to
arrange for quality by cutting it in
the right time.

These were the early days Of mines,
and good luck followed him right
through. Within three months he had
redeemed the bracelet. His next step
was to advertise in the agony column
Of the Times:
"Will the lady who lost diamond
bracelet set with black pearl In June
last in the park kindly communicate
with G. T., Box XT'
For many weeks he had this in
serted in papers, but no answer came
AS the months passed Cyril's success
increased with great strides. All his
investments turned out well; and peo-
pie began to look upon him as COM
ing man.
Then came the big booms. Mines
which were worth comparatively little
were raised to enormous prices. Cyril
realized when the excitement was
highest and returned to England mil
lionaire.
OF course, people made a fuss over
him, for he was young, good-looktng,
immensely wealthy and an Englishman
strangely enough.
But Cyril was not happy man.
The bracelet still weighed on his con-
science. 1t was to try and find its
owner that he accepted the invitations
which society pressed upon him. For
a whole season he searched for her,
but without success. He got tired Of
the adorati which was flung at him
or rather his millions; 80 he, one
day, packed up his portmanteau and
went into the country.
His destination was a quiet little inn
near Dartmoor, which he had known
in the days of his youth.
One afternoon he was casting a fly
along one of the streams that abound
on the moors. He turned a corner and
sight greeted him which made his
pulse throb madly.
Huge powders studded with bloom
ing heather formed background. At
their foot a piece Of green, and lying
asleep, with her head on cushion and
rod by her side, was the girl for
whom he had been in search
He approached closer. She was Sleep
ing soundly. Quickly he drew the
bracelt from his pocket, where he al
ways carried 1t. With gentle touch he
placed 1t round her wrist and snapped
it. She moved in her sleep, and he
hastened away. He looked round, and
she was again sleeping peacefully.
Cyril had restored the bracelet to its
owner, but with the bauble he had
given his heart.
To make up his mind was to act.
1t did not take him long to discover
that she was Lady Alicit Doversford
and that she lived with her father al
Doversford Court. He was also pleased
to hear that the earl was exceedingly
poor.
Again he CHANGED to meet her when
she was fishing.
She approached him at once.
Can you lend me a black gnatr
she asked him in q sweet voice thai
thrilled him.
With trembling fingers he produced
the fly.
Cyril was not in the mood to make
haste slowly. They met again, and ht
flattered himself she was pleased to SCI
him
Next he wrote to the earl and asked
permission to inspect the famous pic
lures (they were hearlooms and coult
not be sold) at the castle.
He CHANGED to be walking through
the grounds Of the castle after seein,
the pictures. He took a seat at tn,
foot of a bowlder, and was startled t,
