successful production Of corn was lik-
ened to eminent cattle raising as the
general principles and rules applied to
both. Referential wall cuts of per-
feet and imperfect ears and kernels of
corn illustrated the advantages of
knowing how to assist nature in econ

evidently no unlmportant factor.
Best results in general are realized by
purchasing from reliable seed houses

care should be given and many points
observed. The field should be visited

CUTS LOOSE FROM SWEDEN
The Norwegian Storthing Declares
Union With Sweden Ended.


Christiania, Norway, June S.-Nor-
way has cut loose from Swedish rule,
The storthing, or Norwegian parlia-
ment. has declared the union between
the two countries dissolved, repudiated
the authority OF King Oscar and estab-
lished provisional Norwegian govern<
ment by empowering the present state
council to exercise. until further mo-
tice, the power hitherto vested in the
king.
The immediate cause of the present
breach between Sweden and Norway is
the kings refusal to grant the storth-
ing's demand for separate diplomatic
representation for Norway.
The real cause of the trouble is far
deeper than this, however The Nor
wegians have long maintained that
Sweden has persistently infrihged ON
their governmental powers, and that
Norway has practically been exploited
for Sweden's benefit
Whether Sweden will submit quietly
to Norway's secession is as yet ques-
tion. 1t is certain that Sweden has not
anticipated SO radical move. and that
the storthing's action will come as a
complete surprise to the Swedish gov
ernment
The storthing adopted an address to
the king, declaring that no i'll feeling
is entertained against him, his dynasty
or the Swedish nation, and asking him
to cooperate in the selection of a
young prince of the house of Berna-
dotte to occupy the throne Of Norway.

4BETTER FEELING" EXISTS.
More seasonabIe weather Has
Brought About a "Better Feel
ingo in business.

New York. June 10.- Bradstreet's
weekly review says:
The situation this week may be
summed up in the phrase. better feel
ing" which is predicated on rather
more seasonable weather, allowing bet
ter crop progress, larger volume of
retail trade and improved recorder
business at wholesale. These in turn
are reflected in a more assured tone
as to fall business in distributiye lines.
Relatively best advices come from sur
plus cereal crop producing regions, but
the feeling at the south is likewise
better. Against this is to be noted
some temporary quieting, due to rains
or cold weather in the northwest, the
lake region and the east, while new
business in iron and steel is smaller
and prices are easing. All measures of.
trade movement still point unmistak
ably to large gains in all lines over
year ago.
Crop reports confirm last weeks in-
timations of a turn for the better in
winter wheat, corn and cotton crop
prospects.

Washington, June Diplomatic
Washington was, Wednesday night.
aroused to a point Of expectancy un-

in the far cast by the news from st.
Petersburg of the cars wish to know
Japan's peace terms. This interest was
heightened by call which Mr.. Taxa
hira, the Japanese minister, made at
the White House by appointment dur
ing the evening. He called shortly af-
ter nine o'clock, and Immediately went
into conference with the president
They remained together about twenty
minutes. When the minister left he
declined to answer any questions about
his call. The press bulletin, in an
nouncing the cabling of a message to
the Russian ambassador at Washing
ton and Paris that Russia wished to
know Japan's peace terms, was imme-
diately communicated to the diplomats
most interested
The president had confided to an am
bassador who called at the White
House that he expected Ambassador
Meyer to be received at Tsarskoe- -Selo.
The instructions to Mr.. Meyer did not,
provide for formal tender of good
Offices. While it is impossible to give
their text. they may be correctly para
phrased in these words:
Find out from the car what we
can do to assist an early peace"
Much was left to the tact and diplo-
matte discretion of Mr.. Meyer as to the
manner and words in which the friend
ly readiness of this country in the
present moment should be made known
to the car. Care was also taken that
Mr. Meyers conference with the czar
should not occur until Count Cassini's
report had reached Tsarskoe-Selo.
1t can be stated emphatically that in
transmitting faithful report of what
occurred at the White House last Fri
day afternoon, Count Cassinf empha-
sized the sympathetic and friendly
franllness with which the president,
speaking informally and personally,
expressed his strong desire for peace.
1t is generally realized here that the
importance of that report can scarcely
be oyerestimated.
To all of his callers the ambassador.
while admitting that the moment was
full of possibilities" had no news to
impart, and this applied to his closest
friends among the diplomatic confer
ees.
