POSSIBILITIES N / 7 CORN.
He1t to the Selection Of Seed Conaes
the Preparation and Cultiva-5S55.
= tlon Of the Soil. : ,G&.% T ~

We only raise little more than half
q good ear Of corn to the hill In the
United States, assuming that q good
ear should weigh q pound. In some of
the best corn sections the crop equals
an ear to the hill, but there are many
states where it 10 exceptional to find
an ear weighing over half q pound, and
1t Is good corn field where there are as
many stalks bearing ears of half a pound
or over as there are of stalks that bear
only nubbins or nothing at all. TO any
one who has never Investigated the mat
ter closely it will be surprise to count
the number of barren stalks in row. II
we select good seed corn from an average
field, taking only ears that weigh one
pound or over, about SO per cent. of the
kernels planted will produce ears as
Is or 20 per cent will grow barren
stalks, and the balance will produce all
sizes from nubbins to fair ears.
1t Is customary to plant at least three
kernels to the hill, and If we could grow
three good ears on each hill we would
have about $50, bushels to the acre.
Here is a problem for the implement
manufacturer to consider carefully.
Next to the selective breeding of seed,
the most important thing in the produc-
ton Of a good corn crop is the work of
the implements and machines used in
preparing the ground and cultivating the
growing crop. There has been a great
Improvement in the past 20 years in the
construction of planters, cultivators
and other implements used in the corn
field, and there is room for equally great
progress in the coming generation, espe-
cially in the, direction of thoroughness
in cultivation. The corn crop is the
most valuable product of the American
continent, and 1t would be almost twice
as great II we could only raise the
equivalent of one good ear to the hill.
II we could average two ears to the hill
our corn crop would exceed the worlds
crop Of all other cereals.-1mplement

Japan's Grand Old Nan.

Marquis Ito. who was recently
stoned by Japanese mob, is of COM
paratively humble birth. His father,
Juzo Ito. was rustic gardener. Mar
quis Ito first went to Europe, stow
ing himself away in bale of silk on
board ship bound for Liverpool. He
was concealed in this bale for SO
hours, until he was discovered by one
of the ships officers. The reason for
his leaving Japan was that he desired
to escape the vengeance of the Con-
sentative party of that country, which
resented his more advanced views and
attempts to adopt Western manners
and customs in Japan. He is now
said to be the most Western Japanese
in the Occident. and spends probably
five hours day reading European
newspapers and magazines. Yet, with
all, he is said to be the poorest Prime
Minister in this worlds goods, either
actual or retired in the world.

Texas Sulphur Deposits.

Texas, State which claimed the at.
tentfon OF the whole country as a cat
tie State. and as a petroleum State,
will probably soon become remarkable
as a sulphur State In the trans-Pecos
country in Ell Paso county, north of the
Texas Pacific Railroad, biologists COM
pute that there are ten million tons Of
40 per cent. native sulphur ore avail
able and almost in sight. The sulphur
area which has been explored and sur
veyed covers about ten thousand acres
and the deposit has an average thick.
ness of nine and one-half feet 1t has
been recently reported that this sui
phur field has been bought by Illinois
capitalists, who have associated with
them in the enterprise a number of
European capitalists. At present no
railroad is near the deposits, the near
est station being Toyah, twenty miles
to the northwest. The intervening
country presents no obstacles in the
way Of railroad construction, the
grades being low.
1t Is calculated that the United States
annually consumes 100000 tons Of sui
phur. Much Of the sulphur used in
the United States is imported from
Italy, the tonnage brought in from that
country varying from 100000 to 25O. 900
tons year. The American State which
leads in the production of sulphur is
Louisiana, but a vast amount of sui
phur is obtained from the pyrites
mines in Louisa county, Virginia. 1t
is said that the visible supply OF sui
phur is sufficient for the requirements
Of trade for the next twenty years
The sulphur trade of the world Is prac-
tically monopolized by the Anglo-Sicil-
ian Sulphur Company, Limited, Of Lon.

An EnfeebIed Giant.

1t looks as II Europe had another
"sick man" on Its hands, the mighty
Empire Of Russia, although 1t may
not be incurable as is the case with
Turkey, or chronic as is the case with
Spain. Nations, like men. go down in
the march Of time. Russia Is too
young, perhaps, to go to pieces like
Turkey, which in the days of the
English Tudors was the first military
power Of earth, and too virile to 60 as
Spain did, which at the time of
Charles V was the worlds foremost
military power.

the gentleman's rapid transit over the

On the whole it is question in
Cleveland whether Mr. Browne should
attempt to collect excessive damages
