To preserve wire rope under wa
fer, or underground add one busheI
of fresh Stacked lime to a barrel OF
mineral or vegetable tar, boil well
and saturate the rope with the mix
ture hot. Too much care cannot be
taken with the pulleys, sheayes and
drums over which the ropes are run
that is, the grooves should be
lined with well seasoned blocks OF
hard wood set on end or rubber,
leather or someesoft metal, the life
of the rope being thus greatly
heightened and firmer adhesion Sc
cured than when the rope Is operat-
ed over smooth and hard surfaces
The greater the diameter Of sheayes

SECRET BENEFAcToRs.
Persons Who Give Literally Without
Disclosing Names.

Anonymous gifts to charities are
common enough, but it may be
news to readers that there is a Sec
ton of the community who give
largely and regularly and who have
Q positive dread of anybody in the
world knowing that they have so dis
posed Of a penny, says Tit-Bits.
Mr.. Dibdin, the secretary Of the
National Lifeboat institution, in
formed the writer that he was going
into his outer Office one day when a
man entered and inquired, '1s Mr..
Dibdin iny eyes" said the official
asked for. do you wish to see
him - ooh, no. the stranger re-
piled. at will do just as well if
you give this envelope into his own
hands" And so saying he handed
over the envelope and hurried out
of the place When it was opened it
was found to contain a 81 1000 bank
note.
Another old man entered the Of
fee one evening some seventeen or
eighteen years ago, remarking, GAS
l happened to be passing, having no
ticed the name outside, / thought 1
would look in and see if you were
in want of money" The secretary
assured him that the institution
was constantly in need of money.
Without producing any at that mo-
ment, the caller then proceeded to
talk politics and asked for Mr.. Dib-
din's views on Mr.. Balfour and other
statesmen who were prominently be-
fore the public. The visitor appear
ed to agree heartily with all that the
secretary said, and presently, as if
to show his appreciation of these
views, he produced a bank note and
laid it on the desk.
They still went on talking poll
tics, and in a little while the old
gentleman brought out another
bank note and laid it on top of the
first one. Presently he added a
third, fourth and fifth to the pile,
and Mr.. Dibdin, then coming to the
conclusion that it was the politics
that was doing it, kept on talking
it as long as he could. Soon f2,-
600 worth Of bank notes lay on
the table, and then the caller, who
declined TO give his name, abruptly
walked out Of the Office and has new
er been seen or heard Of since by the
officials Of the institdtion.
The London Bible Woman's mis-
sion was fortunate to enjoy a some
what similar experience once every
year for several years. An elderly
man walked into the Office once an
nually and inquired what was the
total amount of the missions deficit.
When he was Informed of it he put
down the money ard walked out.
From this source the mission rcceiv-
ed $4,000 in oil, a single donation
on ono occasion being for as much
as $4,000.

His Remorse.

One Of the lords of creation broke
a chair over his wife's head. When
taken to Jail and conversed with
by the chaplain he displayed a good
deal of repentance.
He said he "was very sorry that he
had permitted his anger to obtain
the mastery of him and to suffer
him to do such an act, for the chair
was a good one, an heirloom in his
family, and he knew he never could
replace it."-London Answers.

Throughout all the corn growing sec
lions OF the country It is the general
experience that corn planted early
most often gives the best yield. In
the northern states there is little choice
ae 20 time Of planting Corn must be
planted as soon rs the ground is suhi-
cicntly warm in order that it may ma
ture before early fall frosts In the
southern states the growing season is
lorg enough to allow planting at differ
ent dates, thus lessening the likelihood
OF having the entire crop cut short by
drought. Growing conditions are more
favorable in the spring, and corn usual
" produces better If planted ae that
time. Although the southern summers
are long enough to afford plenty Of
warm weather. corn planted in the
summer will ripen in less time and
usually produce less than II planted
In the spring Fields planted early
frequently escape attacks OF the bud
worm, while later paintings Of the
same year suffer severely. AS the re-
suit OF many years trials at different
state experiment stations the best
planting season has been found to be
respectively. Middle Georgia, March 10
to 20: Illinois, May IL to IS; middle In
diana. May / to IL; Kansas, May p;
South Dakota. May 10 TO 20. Corn
should. Of course, not be planted in
cold or wet ground simply because the
calendar shows that the usual planting
time has arrived. But by good drain
age, fall blowing, etc. every farmer
should strive 70 have his land in good
condition TO plant at the proper time.
The Check Rover.
Perhaps more corn is now planted by
means Of n check rover than by any
other device. This implement is ad-
Unstable so that the spacing OF the rows
and the distance between the plants or
hills in the row can be regulated TO suit
the requirements OF the soil. BY means
OF wire chain stretched across a field
one man and team can plant In straight
rows in both directions across the field
twelve or fifteen acres per day. thus
admitting of cross cultivation. Corn
planted IN this way can be kept free
from weeds and we'll cultivated with
out costly hoelng or cutting OF weeds
a summary OF tests made by various
experiment stations shows that there
IS practically no difference IN yield Of
corn planted In hills Of several stalks
each or deilled so that the stalks stand
separately IN the rows. provided There
is the same number Of stalks per acre
IN each case. The former system facili-
