Cultivation of Corn.

In considering this operation in corn
raising, it should be borne in mind that
the object Of cultivation is to keep the
sou In the most desirable physical con-
oltlon by controlling, as far as possible,
the amount Of moisture and air in it
and to destroy the weeds that hinder
the growth Of the corn in various ways.
The yields Of this crop depend much
upon the skillfulness and thoroughness
with which this operation is per-
formed
The best method to follow in NE
cultivation Of a corn crop will de-
pend upon the chara cter Of the soil;
the way in which the seed bed has
been prepared; the weather conditions
during the season; the number and
kinds Of weeds the soil is infested
with, and the stage Of their develop
ment at the time the corn is cultivat-
ed; the age Of the corn plant when
any particular method is to be used,
and the conditions that follow any
cultivation. The fundamental truth
is, in order to obtain the best results
in cultivating corn, the method must
be varied to meet the conditions named
above.

same time. From two and a half to
three minutes are required for the trip.
The speed Is a tr1fe less than two
miles an hour.
Outwardly the escalator resembles
treadmill, or old-fashioned horse power.
The floor consists of an endless chain
Of planks running crosswise. However,
there is one great difference between
the Cleveland escalator and a tread
mill. The surface Of the former moves
upward and not downward, and when
once horse or pair of horses have
stepped on to it they remain motion
less until they get to the top. They
are not obliged to keep travelling in
consequence of the receding movement
Of the surface on which they stand
The lower surface Of the floor rests
on a large number of idle" pulleys,
whose duty is merely to support the
burden with little friction Movement
is effected by small number Of
other pulleys driven by electric mo-
tors. The latter together develop more
than twice as much power as is needed
to keep the road in operation. In or
der to give durability to the roadway
the planks which compose it are tipped
with metal.

Some Tasks for RAINY DAYS.

Rainy day jobs for the farmer and
his boys are as necessary as the plow-
ing Of the land. The farm is no place
for the lazy man, says writer in
Michigan Farmer. 1t is the successful,
active man who is watchful for a loose
plank, a leaning post, a broken hinge
a fallen panel of fence, who is found
grinding axes, sharpening hoes, cutting
weeds, grubbing out bushes, mending
and cleaning harness, grinding the
sickles, putting new handles in the
place Of broken ones, Tightening nuts,
replacing old, worn-out bolts. seeing
that the hay rigging is in order, hunt
ing out the torn grain bags, etc, in I'M
favorable weather for field work
Don't grumble at the rain; there is
plenty to do. The active man has his
planter ready, the tools are all in shape
to use at moments notice This &C
tive man doesn't wait upon the wealth
er. Each day brings its work, be it
wet or dry.

| foundation for the evil repute Of the
Chagres- The river flows over sand
and gravel between steep clay banks,
often not exceeding two hundred feet
IN width, and the water Is rarely tylr-
bid. AS the drainage area is free from
pollution, the water should be Of the
purest, as it is we'll aerated, flowing
with swift current over many small
rapids. In times Of rain there is
noticeable amount Of sediment, which
is largely deposited in the lower
reaches.
The floods are very fashy; they come
suddenly and are sustained a very
short period, declining quickly almost
to low water conditions
The country along the upper river is
thickly wooded, and in many places
with tangled and matted jungle un-
dergrowth, through which the Ameri-
can parties had to cut roads, often
along hills with slopes Of forty de-
grees. From Gamboa to Albajuela, a
distance Of about eleven miles, the
river rises forty-six feet; in the next
eleven and a half miles to a point near
Santa Barbara, there Is a rise Of eighty
feet. Outside Of the villages along the
railroad there is only one tiny hamlet,
called Cruces, on the banks Of the
river.
Navigation on the Upper Chagres
is limited to small dugout canoes
pushed up stream by men with iron
shod poles, but in the dry season there
is scarcely sufficient water for this in
places, and, except for deep pools at
the eddies, it Is possible to walk up the
river bed for considerable distance.

Chagres river. Whether the final de-
c1sion be for a tide level or for a lock
canal. a method must be devised to
control the Chagres when it becomes
raging torrent, to store water in the
rainy season for use IN the dry season
and to send the surplus through some
other channel to the sea.
Under plans of French engineers,
made on a basis of controlling the food
waters on an eighty-five foot level, the
cost was estimated at $36,OOO,O0O, and
many Americans have doubted whether
even this enormous expenditure would
protect the canal. AS result Of sur
veys made by Americans within the
last year it is announced here that the
water can absolutely be controlled by
means Of a dam at an elevation Of
1S5 feet and at an approximate say
ing Of SGT, 9O3 900 from the French esti-
mate.
In the dry seasons the flow Of the
river becomes almost insignificant for
control; the discharge becomes two
hundred times smaller than in periods
Of the greatest floods. Near where
the Chagres crosses the canal location
its tributary, the Bas Obispo river, en-
ters with the water from the drama sc
up to the continental divide. Below
Obispo the Chagres flows to San
Pablo through a somewhat restricted
valley with tortuOus windings in a
narrow alluvial plain, requiring con-
siderable rectifcation. High, steep,
densely wooded hills narrow in and af-
ford the dam sites Of the various canal
projects.

FIGHT FOR RICH LAND.
Wisconsin Heirs of Dye Estate in Com

Monroe Man Is Member.

Monroe, Wis, Aug. -[Special.l-
Down i'll Pennsylvania there is coal min
ing property valued around S33,OOO,OOO.
The land on which this property is stu
ated once belonged to one Andrew Dye
Mr.. Dye purchased $50 acres about the
year 1884 and in 1904 leased 233 acres
to a railroad corporation for ninety-nine
years
This lease expired in 1904 and since
then an effort by heirs of the Dye es-
tate has been made to get the matter
into court with the object of gaining
possession of the property or get some
satisfactory concessions from the cor
poration now operating the mines.
To further the interest of the heirs a
society was formed under the organza-
ton name of the Andrew Dye associa-
ton. The funds for the purpose are
being raised by selling stock in the or
ganization to the heirs at 81 a share.
There are several hundred claiming
relationship to Andrew Dye and they
meet yearly in a sort of reunion picnic
where all members of the association
have voice in deciding on the plans to
be followed in the future and a consid-
GRAFTON of the condition of the society.
Andrew Dye was great-g grandfather to
Cyrus Dye, of this city, and the latter
gentleman has just received notice of
the second annual meeting of the society
which is to be held at Pleasant Hill, Mi
ami county, Ohio, on August 81.
The society has made little Roadway
SO far toward gaining possession of a
since of the coveted millions and it is
held back by it's inability to secure a
sufficlent amount of funds to push the
matter, but is hopeful Of being able to
start proceedings in the next year or
two.

To enable heavy wagons to climb a
a steep hill in Cleveland, Ohio, without
any effort on the part Of the teams
which draw them, an escalator, or
moving roadway has been provided.
Its length is 42O feet and is nearly
equal to that of two short blocks. The
rise effected amounts to sixty five feet
This rolling road, therefore, delivers it's
load at a height equivalent to that
Of the roof Of a fve-story building;
and in order to do SO it Is arranged so
that it's grade or slope is one foot verti-
cally to every six and half feet hort-
zontally. The roadway itself is eight
feet wide. AS the motion Is always in
one direction, it is not intended that
this device shall assist teams to get
down hill again. It is taken for
granted that descent will be accom-
plished by another route.
What the limit Is to the capacity Of
the escalator has not been announced,
but it is known that at least seven or
eight teams can make use of it at the

Kill all fowls showing symptoms of
