BREEDING CORN.

The frequent lack Of satisfactory re-
suits where one has taken special pains
to select the best corn possible for seed
Is owing to the fact that 1t Is only half
bred-that is, such corn may have been
pollenized by most inferior types Of
corn-hence the great advantage Of hav-
ing a corn breeding plot where this
matter Of fertilization can be properly
controlled. Select the best corn Of the
type desired. Plant a patch removed
from other corn. Remove all barren
stalks before they shed their pollen
and detassel every other row, this to
prevent the possibility of inbreeding
resulting from the corn being fertilized
by its own pollen. This plan repeated
from year to year will soon give pure
bred corn where most Of the product
will be true to the type selected. This
Is all there Is Of corn breeding, really
an exactly similar process which gov
ems the breeding Of pedigreed domes-
tic animals.

SELLING FERTILITY.

Here is concrete fact in a nutshell
well worth studying: Assuming that
one had to go on to the market and
purchase fertilizers to replace elements
of fertility, removed with growing
crops, it would cost as follows:
so acres In meadow, from which
ton Of hay per acre was removed
each year for 20 years, $40S per
year, or for the 20 years .... $3.50
so acres in patatoes, 125 bushels per
acre, $561 per year; 20 years ........ II 300
50 acres in wheat. 20 bushels per
acre, 800 pounds straw, $455 per
year; 20 years ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. 1904
so acres corn, 30 bushels per acre, s454
per year; 20 years .................... 9072
II these four crops were grown in
rotation the annual yearly loss
would be $4,000; 20 years ........... $3.50
so acres devoted to making beef,
$3.50 per year; % years ............. 1.507
80 acres devoted to cows where the
milk was sold from the farm,
$4,000 per year; 20 years ............ 212
so acres devoted to cows where only
the butter product was sold from
the farm, s.16 per year; 20 years.. 20
Cut this out and preserve it, for 1t
contains all the law and the gospel per-
tanning to the necessity and value Of
the cow as preserver of the fertility
Of our soils. 1t also explains why once
fertile soils have by constant growing
Of grain crops become so very poor and
unproductive.

HIrRTFuL RIVALRY.

It beats all what lot of useless and
harmful scrapping there Is often found
in the small towns and rural communi-
ties. The different church denomina-
tons nave It in for each other, the
lodges show their fraternal feeling by
fighting other like organizations, and
the strife and rivalry crop out in all
social affairs and what may be termed
the general public interests of the
community, and all this when harmony,
unity and local public spirit are SO
sorely needed in friendly cooperative
effort to secure the best that there is
in living, where wants and needs are
many and workers all too few. People
10 not realize what the splendid posi-
bilities are connected with concerted
and united effort on the part Of all the
people in community and how much
might be accomplished where all the
people pull together. The truth Is
that there are altogether too many
churches, too many fraternal organiza-
tons in all our towns. This overorgan-
ization not only cripples the best inter
ests Of the community, but imposes a
most serious financial burden upon it.
While men cannot be expected to all
look at things just alike, 1t stills folly
to maintain so many separate organ
izati0ns just to foster and exploit some
peculiar religious or economic notion
which Of itself is of absolutely no i'm
portance whatever as affecting either
the present or future life Of the people.
1t almost seems as though the better in
formed and more civilized the people
become the less sense they have in the
matter Of community living Society
today needs the same policy Of concen-
tration applied to 1t which is chang
ing all our commercial methods, to the
end that a stop may be put to wasted
energy and effort as well as money.

"sEEp CORN SPECIALS.

"The Seed Corn Special Is a very
novel and interesting innovation in the
line Of modern and progressive agri-
cultural education. Tried for the first
time last year as an experiment, the
plan Is this spring being generally
adopted by nearly all the big railway
systems of the western country. 1t
consists of a special train made up of
two large passenger coaches for audi
ence rooms, a Pullman sleeper and a
cafe car for the accommodation Of the
lecturers and instructors. The train
covers the entire system of the road in
a given state, stopping at towns about
forty miles apart, where lectures are
given by experts on seed corn In the
corn sections and upon seed grain for
the cereal crops In those localities out
side the corn belt. Stops are made
for forty minutes at these points and
farmers picked up at intermediate sta
lions and given free transportation
to and from the points where the meet
ing is held. The evening meetings are
planned for the larger towns, where at
some hall or opera house a full pro-
gramme on agricultural topics Is given
In this unique manner thousands Of
farmers are reached, they being at
tracted by the novelty Of the plan, and
much practical and useful Information
Is given them. The railroads lend
most hearty support to the scheme, for
better farming means bigger crops,
and bigger crops mean better business
for them. The states of Iowa, Mis-
souri,, Kansas, Nebraska, Minnesota
and South Dakota are running these
specials this year.

there is probably no disease for which
such a varied and useless lot of
remedies have been suggested. To
say that 1t can be cured is, therefore
a bold statement to make. but Cham
berlain's Pain Balm, which enjoys
an extensive sale, has met with great
success in the treatment of this ,di-
seases. One application of Pain Balm
will relieve the pain, and hundreds
of suffers have testified to permanent
cures by its use. Why suffer when
Pain Balm affords such quick relief
and costs but trifle? For sale by

A wise mother does not always
give her child all the Thanksgiving
dinner which its appetite seems to
indicate for the same reason that a
first class optician does not always
give the tense which the eys seems
to indicate, because in each case a
severe cramp and great pain would
be the result.
The essential thing to know is the
difference between the seeming and
the actual need.
My special optical training in the
best optical college in the United
States and my several years study
of the EYE and experience in fitting
glasses enables me to detect these
defects and needs accurately and get
the best results.
That is why my optical patients are
all well pleased and getting relief

SAY FAREWELL TO
SALVATION ARMY OFFICER
Riversiders Hold Reception In Honor
Of Adlutant and Mrs. Mckenzie.
Druggist Fined


Special to The Herald.
RIVERSIDE, July 30.--A service OF
unique interest was held in Salvation
Army hall tonight, and a good number
attended who are not affiliated with
the army" 1t was in the nature of a
farewell reception to Adjutant McKen-
zie, who is soon to leave for his old
home in Quebec on a leave of absence
and will probably not return to this
field. Several addresses were made, In
which expression was given to the ap-
probation of the local organization and
citizens generally for the excellent work
done by Adjutant and Mrs. Mckenzie
both of whom made feeling replies.
The adjutant and his wife are about
to leave for Quebec to visit the ad-
jutant's aged mother. He has long
planned visit to his old home and
mother, but until recently has been un-
able to make the trip. Learning of his
desire local business man purchased
a ticket for the army officer, and his
create desire will soon be gratifed.
A testimonial was recently circulated
expressing the appreciation of the en-
tire community for the good work done
by the enthusiastic Salvationist, and
this will be presented to his aged
mother. 1t is signed by city and coun-
ty officials and large number of local
business men.
L. E. Leeman, for several years a

was hanging over him an unsatisfied
judgment of $500, representing fine
for illegal liquor selling. Leeman was
discharged as cured from the hospital
yesterday, and found Deputy Sheriff
Clayton lying in wait for him with a
demand for the $500. AS he was short
of funds Leeman was obliged to go to
Jail, but promises to settle up tomor-
row. He was suffering from acute
alcoholism when committed to the hos
pital.
