will fiud that he has made mis-
takes. | he will mark the ears
aud test, as we have before sug
gested, and then throw out the
grains that don't grow, and then
go back and examine the ears
from which these grains were
taken, he Will find out by very
close examination why they did
not grow. There are some signs of
deficiency that he did not notice.
1t requires very skillful expert
to tell by mere physical eXami-
nation whether an ear of corn
will germlnate on all sides.
Therefore the best way is to test
il. With most farmers, however,
the reason why they don't test
their corn is simply dilatorlness q,
apathy, inertia, what the Spanish
call "manana," or the disposition
to put off things until tomor-
row.
HOW TO Do THE WORK.
AS to the methods, we can only
repeat what we have said before {:
Make the most careful physical
examination you can of your
corn ; throw out everything that
you think won't grow. Provide
yourself with a box or boxes, de-
pending on the amount you want
to test. Put some sand or sawdus st
in the bottom and wet it. Then
take q piece of stiff paper the
size of the box and mark it off
in squares, numbering them 1, 2,
3, and so on, much as you would
the sections on a township map.
Put your ears of corn in a row on
a board or bench. Beginning at
one end, number or counting to
correspond with the numbers on
the squares. Take two grains
from each side Of ear No. l, and
so on till you fill them up. Then
take a piece of cloth the same
size as the paper and lay it over
the grains; Put on some more
sand or dirt, and moisten it. Set
the box in moderately warm
room. Tuck the cloth around un-
der the edges so that there will
be no deficiency of moisture
around the edges. After your
corn has had sufficient time to
sprout, which will be determined
by the temperature OF the room,
but usually three or four days,
lift up the corner Of the cloth and
examine each square. Throw out
every ear some Of the grains of
which did not grow. No matter
how good it looks, throw 1T out.
Throw out the ears that grow
feebly. 1t will diminish your pi lie
Of seed corn, but You had better
stand a small loss now than an
inevitably large loss later on.

Will doubtless continue to be SO
for some time to come, perhaps
always. The farmer who has
high priced land stands in need
oS q large corn crop. He cannot
afford to grow thirty bushels of
corn to the acre on seventy-tive
dollar land. He must have at
least fifty or sixty bushels in or
der to make good dividend or
interest on the investment.
HAVE A FULL STAND.
One of the prime requisites to
a paying crop Of corn Is full
stand. Writing, as we do, for far
sners over large section of ter
rit0ry, we do not care to say what
Is full stand, for the reason
ihat it varies with the longitude
and latitude, and with the pur-
pose for which the corn is grown.
Every farmer must determine
for himself what is full stand
sDder his conditions. Speaking
generally, we would consider ten
thousand stalks to the acre full
stand in the heart of the corn
bolt, and too much of stand in
tho extreme South or extreme
West. Whatever that stand may
be, the farmer should by all
means determine to secure that
fall stand.
There Is no certainty that he
Will secure stand unless he
knows the terminating power of
tho seed corn he is planting. 1t
should be as nearly 100 per cent
M possible. Even then with a
planter gauged to plant three
stalks to the hill, when it comes
20 laying by his corn he will have
less than three stalks to the hill,
or S,760 stalks to the acre, on a
three foot eight inch planter, and
considerably less than three ears
IN the hill after he throws out
Ae barren stalks which will
grow from everything except the
very best bred seed corn, and
more or less even from this.
A SIMPLE MATTER, BUT INVALUABLE
1t If so simple a matter to
test corn that one wonders why
go many farmers plant without
testing. We have the same diff
eNlty with Our farmers that
preachers have with their con
EregatIOns. If the preachers
could get the people TO do as we'll
AS they know how, there would
b. big revival of religion all
over the United States; and If we
could get our readers to test
their seed corn as we'll as they
know how, the stand Of corn
among our readers would be 10
30 20 per cent better this year
7han it has ever been. The diff
calty is to get folks to do
At the right time and in the
right way so simple a thing as to
sest corn. Some neglect It because
they think they know their seed
corn that will grow without tes
2ing 1T. 1t is a sort OF cOnceit that
B0me farmers have, particularly
old farmers. We can safely tell
lhem that they don't know, as

using the same old methods
employed by his father, and even
in some cases by his grandfather,
in the conduct of his business.
This thing must be changed If we
expect to keep up in this TWEEN
tieth century race. We must
DO AWAY WITH THE ONE HORSE
TOOLS.
And we must also do away
with the method Of patch farm
ing, so much practiced by our
Southern farmers. Our fields
must be cleaned up, stumps and
other distractions removed. Then
the fields themselves, as far as
possible must be laid off in long
narrow strips, so we may do our
work Of blowing, planting Guilt
waiting and harvesting, with the
less waste of time, and by this
means be enabled to perform
twice the amount Of work In the
same space OF time. We thus
make our crops at one. half their
present cost, as far as the labor
item is concerned.
STOP TIE sHRIFTLEss "PATCH
SYSTEM.
Take your pencil and figure
the extra time consumed In plow
ing one hundred acres of land in
little patches of irregular shape
over the time necessary to do the
work with the same teams, the
land having been laid off in
rectangular fields, say eighty
rods in length. In plowlng this
amount of land in sections eighty
rods long your teams will make
about $500 turns at the ends of
the lands. This means about one
hundred and ten hours or eleven
days. time consumed in turning
while blowing the one hundred
acres with a two.horse plow. This
time ought to be worth twenty
eight dollars. Now if the work
had been done with a four horse
gang plow, turning two furrows
at once, about twelve dollars Of
this could have been saved.
THE WASTE OF SHORT ROWS.
On the other hand, if your
fields are only twenty rods long
your turning will cost you four
times as much or one hundred
and twelve dollars, supposing
you are using two horse plows
and can get a man who will turn
his horse and get started back
across the field in one minute.
When we come to the use of
the one horse plOw and the fur
row only SIX or eight inches in
width, in connection with the
short fields, the problem is 100
complex forus. We would be safe

ITALIAN BANK ROBBED
About s1,40O MystsriousIy Disap-
 peaIed a Few Days Ago.

Thursday afternoon, between the hours of 1:30 and 3:30, some one entered the Italian bank at 2S0 Bank street, opened the safe and nipped S1, 400 which was there. The matter has been kept quiet the past two days and even to-day the police were reticent about the affair
 Luigi Ruggiero and Antonio Man cini are the owners of the bank and do fairly good business among the Italian residents.
 Thursday morning Mancini left for New York, so he said to-day, to meet some relatives who were coming from the old country. In the afternoon Ruggerio had to attend funeral so at l:30 he closed the bank leaving the money snugly enclosed in the safe.
 After attending the funeral he hustled back to his place of business and as is the case with people who are at all anxious about their coin he hurried to the safe and quickly opened it, when surprise was Tn store for him, for the money was missing.
 He notified the police of the case. They immediately set to work on 1t and all night Detectives Kennaugh, Dodds and Officer Colesanto who does much work among his Italian breth- #ren, were trying to get line on the person who took the money.
 When the police were asked about it to-day they did not care to make a statement one way or the other.

KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS.
Twenty Thousand K. of c. Men Ex-

 pected at Jamestown Exposition.
 Norfolk, Va, June 16.-The Knights of Columbus will hold their annual convention in August, 1907, at the Jamestown exposition near Norfolk, Virginia. It is estimated that at least twenty thousand dele gates will attend this convention, for which elaborate preparations will be made.
 The conclusion to hold the next convention at the Jamestown eXposl- tion was reached at this years con vention of the Knights of Columbus held in New Haven, Conn.,, a week or two ago. A cordial and hearty in yitation was extended to the organi- zation to convene next year in Nor folk by the manager of the James, town exposition which will be held in 1907 to celebrate the three hun dredth anniversary of the first per manent English speaking settlement in America.
 In its effects on the destinies or the United States, but one other event compares with the settlement or Jamestown, namely, the discovery Of the western world by Columbus.
 These memorable occurrences are of special interest to the Knights Of Columbus. The order is purely an American institution and distinctive ly connected with the United States, at least in its incipiency. The ter centennial exposition being great historical undertaking, it is peculiar ly appropriate that the knights or Columbus should play a prominent part in the celebration.
 This will be the first convention held by the Knights of Columbus in the south. notwithstanding the fact that the Norfolk council was the first organized south of the Potomac river and there are many Southern councils.
