The general manager of steamboat

when lady, accompanied by maid,
approached. She asked the general
manager if the maid could go aboard
with her satchel.
'I'd rather she'd stay ashore, as the
crush is so great now that she might
not be able to return" he said.
The lady replied that she desired
very much to get her grip on the
steamer, and the general manager Of

He did so, and when he returned

1t is also claimed that such app!es as

branches on Ben Davis trees that bore
Enely shaped and finely colored fruit

and that in this way a variety of Ben
Davis was developed that seems in
appearance at least to be an improve

Corn PlantIna m Arae ntIna.

Sigsy = SiUtss! tanning IN Argentina.
4 Aside from lack Of cultivation. the
principal mistake Of the Argentine
corn grower is his unwillingness to
give his plants room enough to grow
and get air and sunshine to mature
ana rtpen, says Frank w. Bicknell in
a report to the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. AS previously
stated, most of 4 the corn lis. planted
with "a machine attached to the pillow,
and the rows are generally about 20
inches apart-simply drilled in, re-
sembling very much a field of fodder
Germ in this country. A few of the
farmers are learning better, and per-
haps 100 American corn planters have
been sold in Argentina. But no check

little cultivating corn two ways that
1T is still spoken of as curious thing
this North American checkerboard
PLAN of planting corn-and scarcely
farmer in the country follows that
plan. The Basques, the most indus
trlous and successful class of Span
lards. go in for better methods. The
Galatians, from the Province of Cata-
lonla, Spain, are also engaged in corn
growing in the Province of Buenos
Ayres. In some sections, notably to
the southwest of the city of Buenos
Ayres, where some of the best corn
farming is done. it is noticeable that
the better the farming, the more ex-
perienced and successful the farmers,
the wider apart the rows are. and
occasionally field is cultivated both
ways. The rows in the better cult
waited sections are from "a to 80 inches
apart, and the plants in the rows
about 20 to "a inches apart. Corn is
hardly ever planted farther apart than
this, and the greater part, in fact nine
tenths, is in rows 20 to % inches
apart, and the plants no farther apart
in the rows and generally much closer
together.
The Argentine Department of Agri-
culture has tried to teach the farmers
the benefits of planting farther apart,
but they are hard to convince. Men
have been sent around in various sec
tions saying to farmers: "Give us a
hectare of land and we will plant it
and cultivate it the way we think it
should be done; we will bear all the
expense and you may have all the
crop" These experiments have al
ways resulted in producing twice as
much, or more than twice as much, as
the farmer raised alongside in the old
way, because the corn was given
plenty OF room and was we'll cult
waited. But the ignorant farmers have
not always been convinced. When
asked how they were going to plant
next year, some of them said they
intended to go on as before. When
asked why, and if they had not seen
the. good results of the improved
methods, they have replied: "Oh, that
was just luck; you couldn't do it
again" Until recently corn was sim
ply sown broadcast, by hand, covered
in some primitive fashion, and nothing
more done with it until it was gath
cred in the fall. Even now much of
this is being done in some parts,
though not in the districts where
corn grows best.

The ePanut as a Field Crop.

The peanut is assuming every year
more and more Importance. as field
crop. It's natural home seems to be
in the southern part of the temperate
zone. but it grows far north when
properly cultivated. . It is successfully
cultivated as far north as the Great
Lakes. We are not sure that this will
not yet become one of the successful
field crops of the sandy regions of the
middle west. We have been treated
to so many surprises as to the adapta-
bility of plants to large areas of coun-
try that little in this line now sur
prises us. If the peanut can be grown
in large quantities on our very sandy
land, it will prove to be great boon
to our agriculturists. Belonging to
the leguminosae it has roots that car
ry nodules in which live the bacteria
that gather nitrogen from the air.
The edible portion of the nut is there
fore very rich in nitrogen. An analy-
sis of the edible portion shows it to
contain, in per cents, water, 9.2; pro.

is therefore remarkably high, and

It Is ground to increase its digestibil-
sity. It is an improver of the soil, as
are all the legumes. There is no dan
ger of growing too many peanuts, as
the surplus can always be used as
food for swine. One man declares
that the peanut can be grown In ey-

copper and iron, and to have discovered
a process Of alloying these metals per-
fectly homogeneously. The process con-
sists Of melting copper with mixture of
oxide iron and calcium carbide. Any
oxide of iron,, either hematite or the
black oxide, can be used. A mixture of
three parts of oxide of iron and one part
calcium carbide is made, and, if it is de-
sired to obtain a so per cent. alloy OF
copper and iron, Is parts of this mixture
should be used to eight parts copper.
The copper is melted in a crucible and
the mixture added. a little at time, the
bath being stirred and the temperature
raised gradually. When the operation
is completed the alloy is found in ingots
of any other desired form. If an alloy
as much as IS per cent. of
iron is required the process is reversed.
