READING HABIT IN AUSTRALIA
Literature of All Kinds Is Greatly
in Demand There.


Australasia is in peculiar position
so far as her literature is concerned
says the Review of Reviews. Owing tc
the fact that English is the language
spoken, the reading public can obtain
its supplies from three quite independ-
ent and distinct sourees-from Grea!
Britain, from the United States, and
from local sources. The result is that
Australians are the greatest readers on
the face of the globe, and New Zealand.
ers are even more so. Periodicals and
other publications are untaxed, and the
copyright laws are little understood and
less enforced, so that on a typical Aus
tralan bookstall the most cosmopolitan
conglomeration of literature imagina-
bic can be seen.
Australia, being so far from the rest
of the English-speaking world, has to
rely upon local effort for her daily and
weekly publications. In this field Aus
traiianS have shown that they can bring
out newspapers which can bear most
favorable comparison with similar pub
| LEGATIONS either in Great Britain or
America. The same may be said of
the weeklies. 1t is in magazines and
books that the torrent of outside litera-
ture has been too great to allow OF
much local production.
The inhabitants of Australia number
only 100000. Had these been scat
tered over the huge continent, almost
as large as the United States, no daily
paper Of any size could have existed
1t happens, however-unfortuna
perhaps, for AuStralia-that more than
onequarter of the people live in two
large cities, and large portion of the
remainder in four or five large towns.
The daily paper, therefore, has almost
as large a constituency as any publish
ed for the teeming millions of America
and Great Britain.

old muslin or other thin cloth, then
filled witL good soil. He plants three

garden thinning to one stalk to a can.
He has set out when in bloom and had

To Hasten RepIanted Corn.

f. S. Patterson in Farm and Ranch
thus tells how to hasten replanted
corn:
Drip the strongest kind Of liquid
manure, and soak the seed in it two
days and night before planting. Check
the land 3x2 feet, drop the corn two to
three grains to the hill, put one good
big handful of manure or rotted cotton
seed on the corn, and cover lightly. II
land Is strong, leave two stalks to the
hill, otherwise one. AS soon as corn Is
well up, which will be but n few days,
have the replant corn soaked two
days and nights, or until germ is just
about out. Go over and carefully re-
plant every hill, one grain to hill, very
shallow. / will guarantee every hill OF
replant will make just as good corn az
your first planting, and your yield will
be increased % to 30 per cent Liquid
manure will stimulate termination and
your corn will come up with q move
on it. Cultivate quickly and repeated.

Alfalfa Valuable Eceding Plant.
Probably the best summing up of the
value Of alfalfa TO American farmers Is

the Experiment Station Of Wisconsin,
which follows: Alfalfa has practically
the same feeding constituents, pound

regarded as an equal to bran when
used as feed for stock. Alfalfa yields
three times as much protein per acre
as clover, and nine times as much pro.
