GOOD SOIL FOR CORN.
In Certain Conditions 1t IL Far Bett sx
70 Prepare Land In SpriaG
Than in Fan,

Good ttllable soil has always as
much to do in growing crop OF corn
as the seed. The ground may be plowed
either in the fall or in the spring with
success. This, however, must be de-
cided by the farmer himself in plan
ming his work Fall blowing on the
average will produce somewhat
larger yield Of both fodder and corn,
but the ground must be given extra
cultivation in the spring to prevent the
weeds from starting II the farmer
does not have the time to do the nee
essary cultivation, it is better for him
to plow the ground in the spring. The
extra cultivation, however, puts the
soil into a more tillable condition and
retards the loss of moisture by evapo-
ration more than spring blowing will
do. II corn land is to be spring plowed
it is good plan to wait until nearly
planting time SO as to give the weeds
a good start before turning them I'M
der After blowing. pack the ground
thoroughly with harrow or a sub
surface packer to get the bottom of the
furrow slice compact before the seed
is put in it. Plant three to five kernals
in hill 50 as to allow some plants to
be destroyed by narrowing without
making the stand too thin Harrow
ing can be carried on successfully un-
til the corn has reached a height Of
four or five inches-E. G. Schollander,

The thumb print theories of ''Pudd' n

Twain have been seriously adopted by
England's crimOnolOgists. anu the inter-
estlng statement is made in the official
review OF last years crime in Great
Britain that at the close of 1903 there
were 10000 sets of finger prints of Grim
inals registered with the police at New
Scotland Yard.
Since the official report was closed
some thousands OF additional. records
have been obtained, and the egister is
now increased to about 70 900 sets. 1t is
growing at the average Of $50 weekly.
The commissioner of police states that
as system of crime detection it is show

New Potato Bug Destroyer.

If the inventors keep on turning out
machinery to do the farmers work for
him the problem of hired help will be
solved for the large farmer at least, as
he can afford to buy the machinery and
pay the good wages necessary to COM
mand the men to run it, The latest
idea is the machine for destroying po-
tato bugs in wholesale way, going
over acres of ground in day and
adapted for use on single or double
rows of plants. 1t also embodies fea-
lures of adjustment which accommo-
date it to variations in height of the
plants by simply gripping levers pivot
ed beneath the han6,es by which the
machine is guided. The movment of
these levers raises or lowers the blade

POSSIBILITIES IN CORN.
Next to the Selection Of Seed Genes
the Preparation and Cultlvs-
~ - tioa OF the Soil. = 9&..-,' :

We only raise a little more than half
: good ear Of corn to the hill in the
United States, assuming that 4 good
ear should weigh pound. lr some *of
the best corn sections the crop equals
an ear to the hill, but there ara many
states where it is exceptional to find
an ear weighing over half pen d, and
1t is good corn field where thee are as
many stalks bearing ear: of hallf 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 a surprise to count
the number of barren stalks in arrow. 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
good as or better than the original From
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 ,150 bushels to the acre.
Here is problem for the implement
manufacturer to consider carefully.
Next to the selective breeding OF seed,
the most important thing in the produce
ton OF good corn crop is the work Of
the implements and machines used in
preparing the ground and cultivating the
growing crop. There has been 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 it would be almost twice
as great il 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.

Money in Horse Breeding.

Horse breeding, when judiciously car
cried on, has always been and is likely
to be a reasonably profitable business
for the American farmer. The great
danger in the business is that at the
present time, owing to the fact that
horses are scarce, the horse of no par
ticular breed or class is commanding a
fair price, and many farmers are led to
regard horse Of this kind as profita-
bic animal to produce. Such horses
should not be bred, because, even when
the greatest care and precaution posi-
bic are taken in breeding for definite
types, there will always be large num-
Der Of the so-called insists, which are
the first class OF horses to be affected by
overproduction or any other thing that
is likely to cause depression In the
market.-Rural World.

IN JUSTICE NlELsoN's COURT
A Motion for New Trial Denied-One
 Other Case.

There was considerable doing in Justice Nielson's court yesterday morning and the proceedings attract ed a large audience. The first matter of importance disposed of was the render ing of the decision in the motion for d now trial in the case of L. r. Bruce vs. ". r. Methvin. The motion was made by Attorney ROser. attorney for the defendant and was argued at some length the day before. The jus tice yesterday denied the motion and rendered the decision in the case as he iad done several days ago, tO-wit: MT. Bruce pays the defendant one dol lar and costs amounting to something over fourteen dollars while MT. Meth vin pays Mir. Bruce nothing but pays costs to the amount of S26. This has been an interesting case starting over nttle and lasting a long time but it now looks as if il had reached an end.
 The other case was that of the ter rftory vs. Silveria ZuuiGa. It was tIieG before q jury of thIee consist ms of Frank Perkins. sam Warner and Nn. Eggbert Attorney Goodwin was attorney for the defendant who was charged with using vile language against a nefghbor.
