CULTIvATING CORN.

Opinions differ as to the propriety of
dragging corn after the rows Of corn
can be seen. We think that it all de-
ponds upon the nature of the soil, the
kind Of drag used, the absence Of stalks,
rubbish and roots. With light harrow,
teeth set at backward angle Of forty
five degrees. clean surfaced field, the
corn may be most advantageously
worked by the drag till the corn is four
inches high, but if the drag is heavy,
the soil loose and rough, the teeth of
the drag set perpendicular and more or
less stalks and rubbish on the field by
all means keep the drag Off In any
event the drag should never be used on
corn at this stage unless the ground is
dry. Where corn can be cultivated
with the drag in this manner it Won
derfully simplifies the after care of the
crop.

There is much difference in the quail
ity Of corn so far as it's market price is
concerned. Scrub corn-that is, mixed
colors-always sells for less than corn
Of a uniform type and color. The south
prefers the white corn, the east the vel
low corn. 1t pays just as well to grow
pedigreed corn as it does to raise pedi-
greed stock.

The spring wheat territory Of Amer
lea is fast passing from the United
States into western Canada. Spring
wheat is rare crop now in Iowa,
where once it was the leading one.
Minnesota is also letting go Of this

new land and pioneer conditions.

1t seems like good deal Of work for
farmer to have to treat his seed pota-

to prevent rust, to carefully select and

fruit trees, yet nevertheless 1t Is the
men who take this trouble and do this
sort of work who raise the best crops
and make the most money. This sort
Of attention to details is absolutely in
dlspensable In any line of manufacture
ing or commercial business, neglect Of
which will assure failure and bank

Weeds are easiest killed before they
are born-at least before they see day

The railways Of the country are vital
" interested in the matter of improved
highways. Bad roads disturb the even
and normal movement of farm crops
to market. piling up acres of empty
cars in the yards during a period of
bad roads and overtaxing the carrying
capacity of the roads at others. Bad
roads also tend to cause marked fuc-
tuations in the market value Of farm
products.

A man never feels more like kicking
himself than when he has planted
big field of corn and finds out that on
ly so or 60 per cent Of the seed planted
will grow. Lots Of men get in this fix
every year, and this thing more than
any other accounts for the low average
yield Of corn In the great corn growing
states. This trouble may be avoided
by-taking proper precautions. 1t sure
ly pays as well to take the time to
properly test the seed as it does to pre-
pare the field in which to plant II.

The value of any farm is enhanced
by having a well kept public highway
passing by it, and still there are few
men who rather than do any gratuitous
work on such road for fear their
neighbor may profit by it will let such
highway become disgrace to them
and to their community. A well at
tended public funeral seems the best
remedy for this trouble.

A cow has been made to give enough
milk to make 1000 pounds of butter
in year, and a hen has been made to
lay go eggs in one year. These rec
ords mark the limits Of productiveness.
Under natural conditions the COW would
give just enough milk to raise her calf,
while the hen would lay but one set
ting of eggs. The difference marks
what man has been able to do with
the COW and the hen.

The secret Of securing the large yield
Of fifty-five bushels Of corn to the acre
on a 1000 acre cornfield in Iowa last
year is found largely in the fact that
a perfect stand Of corn was secured,
and this stand was secured by the most
thorough and careful work in the mat
ter Of testing the seed corn and the
proper adjustment of the plates in the
planters. An examination Of this field
showed that nearly every hill had just
three stalks, 10 more, no less.

Most English municipalities are mod
els Of civic administration. There
seems to be an entire absence Of that
grating spirit which is so common In
American cities. The men who fill the
various offices accept them and admin
lister them with a nice sense Of honor,
and the public ownership Of municipal
franchises-gas, water, transportation
lis there being most successfully ex-
plotted The United States has every
thing to learn and nothing to teach In
the way Of municipal administration.

We stood by a pasture fence a few
days since which inclOsed a lot in
which were quietly feeding ten head of
American buffalo, huge, ungainly
brutes, the last of their race. They
were stupid, listless, Indifferent, living
under protest, as it We're, like their old
enemies, the Indian and the wolf, out
of place away from home under civil
lied conditions. The chances are that
in spite Of every effort man can make
the buffalo will become extinct inside
of fifty years. He belongs to the past
to the wild.

The men who own automobiles are
as much interested in the country road
as any class. We incline to the belief
that it would be the right thing to
place good tax on all such machines
and devote the proceeds exclusively to
the improvements Of the roads. Only
rarely are the country roads Of the
west in such shape as to permit of
much pleasure using them in auto
travel. What with mudholes, pitch
holes, ruts, roughness, a tour across
country is robbed of nearly all pleasure.
