What the Hair Tells.


Auburn hair means a kindly, sympa-
thetic nature.
Straight hair indicates more power
to govern than curly hair.
Curls denote a feeble sense of right
and wrong, gayety, vivacity, self-oonti-
dence.
Straight black hair, growing coarse
and thick, indicates more order and in
dustry than mental power.
Fine brown hair only accompanies
excellent minds; generally the owner
has intellectual tendencies.
Hair and eyebrows differing in color
are said to mean untrustworthiness.
They bespeak a wavering. unsteady ma
ture.
Red hair Is strongly characteristic
no halfway business there 1t usually
indicates a quick temper, though there
are exceptions.
Beautiful golden hair Is rarely seen
on persons of gross nature. Its owner
loves fine arts and possesses exquisite
sensibllities.
As a rule, smooth, fine, softly waving
hair betokens gentleness. quietness
neatness. Unduly sleek, straight hail
gives warning of slyness, hypocrisy.

The corn plant Is a gross feeder ana
accepts any kind of manure that may
be applied, but 1t will not thrive in
partnership with any other plants, for
which reason 1t must be kept free from
grass and weeds, in order to have 1t
mature before frost comes In the fall,
which necessitates the frequent use OF
the cultivator. The clean preparation
of the land before planting and the
stirring of the surface soil after every
rain destroys weeds and grass, which
permits the farmer to accomplish such
task at the least cost, as he benefits
the corn crop while preparing the land
for another the following season. For
this reason, where large fields are Gull
tivated, there can be no substitute for
corn, and whether prices rise or fall

farming In this country. On the farm

alone, but the entire plant can be util.
lied for some purpose. 1t is, therefore
the most inexpensive preparatory CROP
known. Every farmer aims to secure a
crop Of corn, and late planting is re
sorted to rather than incur total fail
ure. Success with late-planted croI
depends upon the condition of the soil
the variety and the mode of cultiva
ton, but the main drawback Is the ap
pearance of frost early In the season
