c.Itiv.tins Drilled Corn.

1t Is generally conceded that more
corn can be grown on an acre in
drills than In hills. but In weedy land
the great trouble is to keep drilled
corn clean and free from weeds. The
great mistake In cultivating drilled
corn usually Il made at the first
working. when shovels Of medium size
are used and small burrows left close
to the rows We find 1t no harder to
keep drilled corn free from weeds
than 1T Is to keep hill corn clean. by
using the smoothing harrow across
the rows just as soon as the corn is up.
In four or nve days a second harrow
ing may be given and then the culti-
yators be set to work.
Avoid leaving any furrow close to
the rows, and also be sure not to
throw q ridge of earth up to the
plants Keep the land just as level
as possible the first two or three
workings and then as the plants be-
gin to shade the ground they will do !
much to smother out weeds. The later |

Special Correspondence.
The Fair opened April 3Oth.
Idaho was one of the 6rst states at
the Worlds Fair to complete it's agri-

revelation as to that states resources,
and the taste displayed in the arrange
ment is much admired by all who see
it.
Troupes of strange peoples, herds of
big elephants, droves of ungainly
camels, and scores of wild and trained
animals and birds from every section
of the globe have beeu gathered at the
Worlds Fair to make the Pike com
plete from every standpoint.
The stork visited the Filipino camp
at the Worlds Fair and to Bihinang,
young Negrito matron, belongs the
distinction of being the mother of the
first full blooded Filipino to be born in
the United States.
President Roosevelt, from his desk
in the White House at Washington,
will press the electric button which
will set in motion the whole of the
Worlds Fair machinery. This will be
done at exactly 1 o'clock eastern time,
or l9 o'clock uoon, st. Louis time, on
April 3Oth.

Can't Keep a Good Wan Down.

1t is difficult to keep a good man
down. Our old friend, Ex-Governor
w. j. Mcconnell, who has been about
the best abused man in all Idaho, is on
his feet again, at the head of mining
company which promises TO turn out
great results. He is president of the
Greyhoune Mining and Milling COM
pany, and our former fellow towns
man, Hon. Charles NJ. Hays, is secre-
tary and treasurer.
The company for the past year has
been exploiting property owned by
it, located on Greyhound Mountain in
Custer county. A business letter from
one of the directors on another sub
ject, refers to the property aud pros
poets as follows: We expect to have a
reduction plant of 80 tons capacity
this summer and to begin turning out
bullion. We are all very confident of
good results.-Silver City Nugget.

An oddity of nature is to show
beauties shining forth in unexpected
places. We associate flowers with the
day and the sun, yet there are several
beautiful varieties that blossom only
at night, giving to night their own
peculiar fragrance. They seem to
speak of the conflict between light and
darkuess-the light of the day invad-
ing the territory of the dark as if to
win it over to the day.
