clusively upon southern products.
They have been allowed the run Of

some instances upon red and crimson

upon molasses, rice bran and cotton

the purpose of demonstrating to the
people at home and to the western

FARMER AND PLANTER.
PLANTING CORN.
One of the Most Important Crops ON
the Southern Farm if Properly
Cared For.

The corn crop is one of the moat
important on the southern farm. We
say southern farm, because many think
that 1t is better to let the western
farmer raise corn for us than IL Is for
us to raise 1t for ourselves. They ad-
NIT that we must have the corn. But
they say We can raise cotton and buy
the corn chepaer than We can raise the
corn. This is great mistake. 1t is
false in fact and ruinous in practice.
1t has ruined many farmers. By per-
sisting in this fallacy they have found
themselves in debt and giving mort
cages and finally sold out
The low price of cotton and contin-
nous argument has driven great
many to abandon the all-cotton crop
system, and prosperity has come in
consequence. But now cotton is up
again, and we are tempted to give all
our energies to raising cotton. IL we
do that the high price of cotton will be
a curse instead of blessing.
One reason SO many are inclined to
neglect planting corn is the poor crops
Of corn We have been making has made
the corn cost us too much to grow.
Corn can be made at less than twenty
cents per bushel, not counting in the
value Of the stalks for stover If they
are properly utilized the stalks can be
made to pay the cost Of the crop and
leave the corn clear.
To raise corn properly We must have
the land deeply broken and well har-
rowed. Corn needs room for root de-
velopment in search for water and food.
The roots will grow from five to six
feet deep of the soil is loose
BY increasing the cubic space we can
decrease the square space for each
stalk. In this way we can plant more
stalks per acre, and thus get more corn
per acre. II the soil is deep and good
the corn will do better crowded than
scattered. On good soil, well manured,
from six to eight thousand stalks per
acre will make good, heavy ears. This
will us from sixty to eighty bushels.
With 1000 stalks we can not hope for
more than twenty to twenty-five BUSH
els per acre, and often we only get Is.
With too much space corn does not
ear we'll But when crowded 1t ears
full up, If the soil is able to bear it.
Our plan has long been about this:
Break the land and subsoil IL to Is
inches. Put on stable manure, COM
post, lot scraping, cottonseed or fer
tilizers, broadcast and harrow over
several times. Lay of now without
bedding, four feet. Drop corn about
IS inches, use 200 pounds Of fertilizer
in drill. Cultivate shallow and often,
and continue until in full silk. In this
way we get from fifty to seventy-five
bushels per acre. at about eighteen
cents per bushel. Now the stover is
worth about enough to pay all ex-
penses, and leave the corn clear profit.
Everything points to high prices for
corn and hay and meat, SO that it is the
duty of every farmer to plant large
crop of corn. Wars and connections
all increase the demand for corn. II
you have plenty of corn you can have
fat hogs and beeves and stock.-South-
ern Cultivator.
The Colfax chronicle., 1904-04-30

With all the adverse. reports com
ing into this Office from various
sources, together with the results not
ed everywhere among men who have
tested their corn, it is not too much
to again urge our readers to examine
their seed. Test is now. 1t is none too
early to determine the terminating
quality of the seed. II 1t is good, no
harm is done. On the other hand, If
the per cent. is too lew to make plant
ing advisable. there is time to look
about for suitable seed. So important
is the matter of testing that experts
are urgent in their advice. Wiancko
of the Indiana station sends out the
following:
Not single ear which was intend
ed for seed should be allowed to pass
without perfect examination. To
make proper examination of your
seed corn lay all the ears out in rows
where you can get at them comforts
bly,. Take few scattering kernels out
of each ear and examine the germs
carefully. Many ears which, for the
most part, are sound, will be found to
have little raised or swollen places
where the germs are likely to be in
jured, so be careful to look out for
these. Discard all doubtful ears. Then
take five scattering kernels from each
of the ears which appear to be sound
and make a termination test. Make a
separate test Of each ten ears"
While it Is hardly probably that
they will, still 1t would be highly ad.
visable IL farmers would examine
their corn down to the last ear. Their
corn in the end would pay for the ex.
ira labor. II taken early in the sea-
son there is time for such exhaustive
examination. The next best thing will
be to make thorough tests of every
bushels of ears. Ascertain If the av-
erage per cent. of termination is good.
Bear in mind the amount of land that
one bushel of corn will seed, and con.
slider that considerable work will be
labor well expended.-GoodalP Farm

William Henry Bishop. the novelist,
describing San Sebastian, the famous
Spanish watering place, pictures the
boy king of Spain at play on the beach:
ut is not every day you can see king
of Spain wading about barefoot and
digging in the sand, and the sight is
worth while. He goes out upon small
platform mounted on two wheels, and,
letting down tin bucket, tips up small
pailfuls of water. His gra, ,tutor, Gen.
Sanchez, sometimes leads him by the
hand, but often, too, he goes alone. He
brings back the water and pours It into

which he is trying to fill. Once Maria
Teresa is very near it, and he throws it
about her feet, as If to duck her. She

distinguishable by a gleam of bright

AS has been said, the climate is excel

Canada is about 1900 feet above the
1ea, about twice that of the average for
Minnesota. 1t is a very desirable alti-
tude. The country has very equable
climate, taking the seasons through.
The winters are bright and the sum-
mers are pleasantly warm r. F. Stu

service for Canada, says:
THE salient features of the climate
"of the Canadian northwest territories
ARE a clear, bracing atmosphere DUR
ling the greater part of the year, and
"a medium rainfall and snowfall. The
"mean temperature for July at Winni-
peg Is 66, and Prince Albert 81. Tho
former temperature is higher than at
"any part Of England. and the latter

parts of the southern countries"
At Prince Albert the average daily

Moisture Is ample in the Saskatche-

cent. Of the moisture falls during the
crop months. Thus, Western Canada
gets as much moisture when 1t Is need
ed and with several hours more sun
shine daily than land further south
gets during the growing season, 1t Is
not difficult to understand why crops
mature quickly and yield bountifully.

Harvest comes in August, about the
