Pulverizing the Soil.

Considering the pulverizing of the
clods that turn up in the most heavy
land after plowing, prevention is the
best method. If the field is we'll
drained and not plowed when wet,
there may be no clods. 1t WILL how
ever, take two or three seasons to thor
oughly fine the soil that has been in
jured by previous mismanagement.
Fall or winter plowing, turning the
land in ridges and leaving it as rough
as possible, so as to expose the moist
surface to the frost, will do the work.
but unless there are underdrains to
carry Off the water the plowing may
do as much harm as good.

Good-evening, Mademoiselle Whatever

And Mr.. Blake slammed down tn
cover of his desk as if it were a paten
guillotine and poor Annette Duvelle'
neck were under 1t.
Two or three of the factory girls
who had lowered around the open doc
to hear the discussion, looked wit
awe stricken faces at Annette as sh

she had received from the cashier i

grimy, to eat his supper.
"One-slxth l have to pay him." said
Simon, with an involuntary groan, as
he looked at the five little ones around

The petals of the June roses had

"Worming" the trees to destroy the
peach borer is in the routine Of the
peach grower, and the present is the
season for it, provided precautions
have not yet been taken earlier to
make 1t unnecessary. But with every
precaution examination is needed to
find out II the vigilance was to no pur-
pose. Whether the one or the other,
now is the season for 1t. The external
evidence of the presence Of the peach

Increasing the Corn Crop.

Z. G. Holden, Professor of Agricul-
ture at the Illinois Agricultural Col
lege at Champlain, is a man whose
name and memory should be much re-
spected, not only by farmers, but by
all who are consumers of American
grown corn. When a college student
he was teaching school in Michigan.
He asked his students to each bring
him an ear of corn from the crib at
home. They did so, and he showed
them the different grades, from very
good to very poor. Then he asked
each one to plant three seeds from the
best ear in box, and water it. The
result was an excellent crop Of large.
well-filled ears. The parents became
interested, and soon began to plant
only the best corn for seed, much to
the advantage of their crop. After he
went to Illinois, he began to talk the
benefits of selected corn for seed to
the farmers, and soon not only were
most of them converted to his ideas,
but the farmers of Iowa and Missouri
were looking for better seed. Later
on he became director of a farm near
Bloomington, where they usually
planted twenty thousand acres of
corn, with an average yield up to
that time of forty to fifty bushels per
acre. The first year he increased the
yield by ten thousand bushels above
the best previous season.. On some
acres he brought the products up to
seventy bushels per acre. This year
he had a special train from which to
talk about corn to the farmers of
Iowa, and If we have this year the
largest crop of corn ever grown in
the United States, Professor Holden
is entitled to the credit of having add
ed millions of those bushels to the
crop by his advocacy of the doctrine
Of using only the best seed.
Homemade Corn Cutter.
This idea of a corn cutter comes
from Australia where the machine is
used in harvesting sugar cane and
sorghum, as well as corn. The imple-
ment has been tried by a number of
farmers in this country and pro-
nounced a success. 1t is made by
bolting the blade Of strong heavy
scythe to a sledge or sled, as shown
in the illustration. A rod of wrought
iron about one inch in diameter is

The easy payment system we
have instituted as a prominent
feature in our business makes il
easily possible for every we'll or

in good circumstances hesitate to
take so much money out of their
business at once and have deprived
themselves of the refining pleasures
of music, but now it you amount
to anything at all you can buy a
piano of us by paying a few dollars
down and a small payment each
month.
Besides, the Cicilian Piano is a
new creation, warm from the brain,
