FoT to Make Corn.

Fov TO Make Corn.
AS I made Il good crop OF corn last
year. l will try to give lou some of my
experience, for l realize the necessity
of the Southern farmer growing more
corn; in fact, all the corn used on the
farm should be grown at home, for
more corn means more hogs and cattle,
if the stalks are shredded, and that Is
the proper way to manage corn crop.
Why Surn the stalks when they will
make such valuable feed? Stock will
eat the most of it. and the waste makes
the best of bedding, as it absorbs the
moisture, but the crop must be grown
first, so We will talk about that now
We always turn the land in the fall
with No. 30 steel oeam piow. rs deep
as three mules can pull, and do not
object to plowing up the clay either,
for it will freeze and pulvcrize during
the winter, and can be narrowed and
mixed with the soil in the spring. We
usually cover with thin coat Of
manure before we start the harrows.
After narrowing over several times
more the better-plant on or 4 little
below the level, using from $50 to 200
pounds Of high-grade fertilizer to the
acre and then run over IL" aeld with a
wecder just before /. ton,ss { J, leaving
the field level, and when the corn has
two or three leaves it can be narrowed
with the weeder without covering the
little stalks. In few days after this
we start the riding cultivator and keep
it going after every rain or every ten
or twelve days, always on level until
the corn gets too tall to plow with the
cultivator, and finish with twenty-four-
inch sweeps, with two-incli scooter
in front. being careful TO plow very
shallow, and We have never failed to
make a crop. provided it was planted
early enough, and I think that one OF
the greatest mistakes farmer can
make on upland is trying to get all the
cotton planted before the corn land Is
touched, for it seems rs though we
are making too much cotton anyhow

A Berlin physician says that out OF
1000 girls who played the piano before
the age of twelve years he found GOO
cases of nervous diseases; whereas,
out of the same number who did not
play the instrument he found but 100

never be used by child before the age
of sixteen years. and only two hours

stopcock; adjusted to the pipe and a
rubber hose with nozzle attached.
This arrangement has been such a
source of convenience that it has re-
paid itself over and over again. In
the morning the ashes are raked for
ward to the furnace door, or Just out
side it, with a hoe, the water turned on
and they are thoroly wet thru, SO that
no dust arises from them when they
are lifted into the cans. The spray can
then be turned 50 as to sprinkle the
cellar floor before the dust is SWEPT
away. In warmer weather a very gen
erous washing can be INDUCED in,
throwing the water carefully over the
top of the furnace pipe in fine spray
and against the walls where so much
dust settles. In the spring the furnace
pipes, walls, floor and windows all can
be quickly cleaned with the force Of
the water.
Running water is by no means a
necessity, as about a gallon Of water
poured into the ashpit will draw up
thru the ashes and enable them to be
taken out without any dust. Still an.
other little pointer is worth remember.

It is a good idea to paint the slide
in the ashpit door with white enamel
Then you can easily tell at glance
whether or not the slide is open. When

and when open, the enameled part will

MATING FOR HALLS
Japanese Variety Flexible and Delight
..:- fully Soft in Color. .

Japanese mating, while not partic-
ularly inexpensive, costing as it does
% cents a yard, or 70 cents If pur-
chased in the piece of forty yards, has
the advantage Of wearing remarkably
well. It is soft and pliable, and when
the strips are sewn together, as they
always should be, the mating may be
laid as smoothly as a carpet. For
summer use particularly there is moth
ing more satisfactory than this typi-
cal product Of the Orient, with its
light background and the big vague
looking flowers done in indefinite pinks
and blues and reds, with probably one
design to the yard, thus giving an eff
feet of space and naturally Of cool
ness, and harmonizing we'll with rugs
Of any description. For carrying out a
Japanese effect the mating is used to
cover walls. It is tackled on at top and
bottom and between the widths are
run strips of a contrasting color COW
ering the seams and giving the appear
ance Of panels. Owing to it's fexibil-
ity this mating is also largely used in
upholstering summer furniture; set
tees and settles, porch chairs and other
pieces of semi-outdoor furniture are
made very attractive when covered
with it.

There are suitable pieces devised for

at this time the China trade was re-

In England, during the Elizabethan

SAMOVARS AND CANDLEsTICKs
Russian Water Boiler a Modern Inven-
ton for the Tea-Mad.
House Beautiful.

House Beautiful.
The samovar is a modern invention,
known. Probably it was developed in
the fertile mind of some thrifty son Of
Poland or of Little Russia. In CON
struction the piece is quite simple and
ingenious. It is used by the Russians
as water boiler in the brewing Of tea.
Running vertically thru the center Of
the urn is a cylindrical cavity, forming.
nishes the heat. A chimney fits snugly
over the top, while near the tase are
perforations, thru which the air
ascends, thus giving a strong draught.
a very hot fire around which the water
is free to circulate may be made
quickly. No little cheer is added to the
cup by the musical piping of the essap-
ing steam, and the soft, mellow glow
Of the burning Goals rejecting thru
in II myriad of tiny stars. In the first
types Of these boilers, the inner burner
was absent, the urn generally globular
or Jug shaped, resting upon base of
four legs, under and about which the
embers were heaped At the time Of
the introduction Of the samova- and
territory, about thS middle of the pas5
century, Russia became tea-mad
country. Not satisfied with the drink
ing Of the new beverage in the home,
public servlng-hOuses were soon de-
manded, and the tea salons were estab-
lished. At first the samovar was found
only in families of wealth or nobility,
but with the increased transportation
facilities, the price of the commodity
was much reduced, placing it within the
means of the peasantry.
OF cand]esticks and candelabra, the
variety is infinite. Antiques in these,
as in the early samovars, are marked
with extreme, if not severe plainness.
Many of the old pieces were made very
! heavy, their commercial value being
based upon the amount Of metal con-
tanned in the piece, which was first cast
and then hammered into shape. Often
| the jealous and crafty smith used his
| material too abundantly and beauti-
full and graceful form was sacrificed for
the weight and mass of the article.
However, the old pieces, cumbersome as
they may appear, are to be preferred
to much of the modern work which has
! tendency to be ornate. In size the
sticks vary from the small taper holder
of an inch or two in height, to the tall
| hall stick in repousse. More ornament
is admitted in candelabra and sconces.
| Many of the former are surmounted by
the double eagle Of the Russian arms, or
! if the work be of Polish design, and
mdae, before that power came under
! the domain of the empire, single bird
is seen. The seven-light candelabrum

mirrors have been used to a greater or

the walls added nothing and often
spoiled the effect. With the introduce
ton Of the simpler Louis XVI style,
the mirror found it's true place, and in
our colonial style it became almost a
necessity. Every home Of taste had
it's mirrors, not only for use but on ac-
count of their decorative effect. There

Homemade Sideboards.

The limited space in the modern
apartment necessitates furniture that
takes as little room as possible. The
commercial sideboard is often a very
dreary affair, a large piece of furni-
ture, built up with much polish and a
badly framed mirror for its chief orna-
ment. A homemade" sideboard or
row of shelves is often better adapted
to apartment house use than the ready
made affair Of the commercial me al stores.

cupboard or dresser are often much

drapery. A convenient design allows
for three wide shelves below and four
narrower ones above. '"''~
