WOMAN'S ADVICE TO FARM
ERS.

Miss Edith Urmey, an Iowa hospital
specialist, states that many of the in
mates Of eastern insane asylums are
sons and daughters of the farmer
pioneers. They have been brought up
to lives of idleness and luxury or suf-
fered from monotony Of country sur
roundings. In either case the direct
cause for mental arrangement is the
lack of diversified work for body and
mind. The pioneers of the country
had no time for brooding over imagin-
airy troubles and were happy. But
they neglected to map out the proper
courses for their children and in
treating them. with kindness have
paved the way to insanity.
The cities present numerous cases
of physical and mental wrecks of
young persons brought on by dissipa.
ton and strenuosity in the battle fol-
commercial supremacy. Farmers
warn their sons and daughters Of the
dangers that lie in their paths when
leaving the farms. but often forget tc
correct the evils at home. They give
their children all the benefits OF
schools and colleges and leave out the
essential fundamental principles OF
life. Too many are left to remain in
ldleness because they are taught in

JOURNALISM IN CHINA.
Dialect Newspapers Increase Gulf
Between Provinces.

United States Consul Anderson, at
Annoy, has made report ON journal
ism among the Chinese. He says:
1t Is rather surprising, in view OF
the comparatively small population
or foreigners in China, how many
large publications there are in foreign
languages. The prices they obtain for
their publications and their work
probably explain the situation.
Shanghai has five daily newspapers,
three morning and two evening pa.
pers; one is French. 1t has six for
eign weeklies, one German. 1t also
has four Chinese dailies and a large
number Of Chinese weeklies.
Practically all of the foreign pa
pers sell for Az cents gold per copy.
The subscription price is about SIS
gold per annum, postage extra. The
Chinese dailies sell for about "a cent
gold per copy. In addition to these
publications there are many religious
papers, mostly in Chinese, published
by the mission authorities.
In the south Hong Kong domi-
mates the publication business, and
as it is a British colony, English publ
cations might reasonably be expected
to lead, but on the face of the record
the Chinese predominant. There are
four English dailies, the Post, the
Press, both morning papers, and the
Telegraph and the Mail, both evening
papers.
There are six Chinese dailies, and,
as in the case Of Shanghai, there are
a large number of publications de-
signed to fill various wants in South
China, Portuguese weekly and the
Government Gazette being among
them. In nearly every port of i'm
portance in China there is an English
publication of some sort.
The publication houses, as a rule,
both newspaper concerns and con-
Germs for general printing only, are
fairly well equipped for their work.
Some Of them attempt work in the
line of high grade magazine and book
publishing, and while it is not always
an unmixed success from technical
typographical standpoint, it demon.
strates that the Chinese workmen
who do most of the work under for.
eign supervision, will in time &C.
quire considerable merit in this line
Of effort.
/ st is rather interesting to note
that China at present seems to be
passing through much the same pro
cess with its newspapers and other
publications that many parts of the
United States have passed through
All over the empire native newspap
ers are being started in the colo
quail dialects, and are more or less
local in character.
1T is unfortunate in many re-
spects that the publication of news
papers in the several local dialects
has developed so generally. While
such publications will afford means
Of educating the people of the EN-
pire in some lines, they also furnish
the means for deepening the CULTS

differ in dialects. Each newspaper

sion, will develope it's own Language
in its own field to the exclusion o.

labor is not honorable. There is no
reason why farm life should become
monotonous to any one residing with
in the boundaries of ordinary civiliza-
ton. The rural mail carries the daily
papers and magazines to the farm

Of trade to every commercial port;
yet there is life Of monotony on
many farms. The places are not i'm

adopt new methods in any line and
their children become discouraged.

Better Now Than Not at All.

termination tests should be made
five or six weeks before planting time,
but even if it is necessary to stop the
pillow in the field, it is far more prof.
table to have good stand of corn on
10 acres than it is to have poor stand
on 20 acres, thereby saving the time
and labor necessary to prepare the
ground and to plant and cultivate the
additional acre. Yet many farmers are
every year planting and cultivating 8
or acres in every 20, for which they
receive comparatively no returns
In making the tests 1t is essential
that each ear tested should be given a
number and all kernels taken there
from given corresponding number
so that after the tests the faulty ears
may be thrown out.
Many kinds of terminating boxes
and methods for testing seed corn have
been described in various publications,
but the Department of Agriculture has
designed a simple box which is be-
Iieved to combine most of the advan-
tages, and give good results in the
hands of almost any operator. The box
would be about IL or 2 inches deep
inside and the length and width such
as to suit the needs of the individual
farmer, but it should not be made wa
ter-tight. Instead of filing the box with
sand, soil, or sawdust, as is commonly
recommended, the seed bed is made
of heavy canton flannel or similar ma
Lawrence democrat. (Lawrenceburg, Tenn.) 1884-1925, 1906-05-11

|cover the box with piece of glass, or
other tight material, to prevent the
evaporation of the water from the
cloths, and set the box aside for a
few days to await the results Of the
test. Where only a limited number Of
ears are to be tested, similar germ
mating apparatus may be made by
using cloth between two dinner plates.
Ten inch plates will give ample space
for the testing of Is or 20 ears at one
time 1t is important that the ears
be numbered or arranged in the same
definite order as the corresponding
tests in the terminating box. One of
the most satisfactory methods is the
use of rack as Is generally used for
drying seed corn. This is generally
a piece of 2 by 2 inch piece of pine
from which extend on all four sides
long nails, each of which is numbered.
After the kernels from the first ear
have been placed in square No. I
of the terminating box, the ear is
showed on nail No. of the drying rack,
and so on. These racks can then be

OLDEN DAYS OF WHALING,

The days of the old-time whaling
fleets when more than two hundred
full-rigged ships sailed out of New
Bedford harbor on three and four
year voyages to- the most distant and
dangerous seas, were over more than
half century ago. The right of
Greenland whale of the Arctic waters
with his mouth full of whalebone and
his cousin. the sperm whale of tropi-
cal waters, bearing in its head the
precious spermaceti, were practically
exterminated by those all-daring, iron
nerved, keen-eyed Yankee shippers.
Their splendid ships, the Annie B.,
the Mary Jane, the Blue-Eyed Susan
great lovers of their wives and sweet
| hearts, were this race of gentlemen ad.
enturers-rotted at the wharves or
were degraded to service as coastwise
and with them vanished a world of
romance and adventure. No men, in
no time, more truly than they, went
down to the sea in ships.
But when the pennant of the last
old-time whaling ship was hauled down
forever, there still proudly swan
the oceans the vast rorqual or racer
whale, greatest of all his mighty kin.
To the sailing fleet of the old days, the
rorqual was an almost impossible prize
because Of its tremendous speed. 1t
was practically unmolested, and null
tiplied exceedingly in both North At
lantic and Pacific waters.
1t was the abundance of this levi.
athan, measuring ninety feet in length
and weighing almost as many TONS
bulking larger than whole herd Of ell
ephants-which was the inspiration of
the modern whaling industry.

ers was 81 per cent. The capital in
vested in 1900 was $29,7S9,659, where
as in 1905 it was $5,S47,S09.
The production in 1900 amounted to
nearly 100000 bicycles and was re-
duced in the five years to little over
100000.
In contrast with these figures, the
motor cycle factories increased from
1859 to 2,289.

To Test Each Corn Ear.

The statement is made by officials of
the Department of Agriculture that
while corn breeders have achieved
marked success in the production of
improved types of corn during the last
decade, unless the farmers take better
care of their seed corn and test each
ear separately, preparatory to planting,
the chances are that the average yield
of corn per acre in the United States
will not be materially increased.
In our principal corn-growing States,
corn is planted in hills 31a feet apart
each way, giving 1856 hills per acre.
In most sections three stalks to the
hill is considered a perfect stand; in
some States, two is the standard. Yet
If each hill would produce but one
medium sized ear, or inches in
length and weighing a trifle more than
8 ounces, the yield for each acre would
be 2S.S bushels, the average yield per
acre in the United States in 1906.
"A single ear of corn to the hill the
size shown as A in the Illustration
would give an average of 2S.S bushels
to the acre; single ear shown as B
would give 80 bushels per acre; an
ear such as C would produce 40
bushels per acre; an ear such
as D would yield as bushels per acre;
while-ap ear like e, which weighs a
trifle less than pound, would yield so
bushels of shelled corn per acre, count
ing only one such ear for each of the
1856 hills. There are, however, very
few farmers who raise as much as SO
bushels of shelled corn per acre. Yet
every corn grower can probably pro-
duce many ears which are larger than
that shown as in the cut. Eliminat
y ing, however, both ears d and E and
granting that every farmer could har
vest from each hill two such ears as
the one shown as c, an ear which is
less than S1a inches long. and weighs
a2.6 ounces, the yield would be 81
bushels of shelled corn per acre. Arc

KING CORN.

there any corn growers who can not
produce the equivalent Of at least two
such ears to every hill? How many
grow so bushels OF shelled corn per
acre?
The time required to test individual
ears for vitality is very small when it
is considered that IL or Is ears will
furnish enough seed to plant one acre.
Experiments have shown that if a few
kernels (preferably six are taken
from different parts of an ear of corn
and all are found to terminate we'll
that is, to produce good healthy sprouts
practically all of the kernels on that
ear will likewise show strong vitality.
On the other hand, if the part of all OF

suspended in some suitable place and
there need be no fear of the ears be-
ing mixed while the termination test
is in progress.
The kernels in the testing box
should begin to terminate freely a
bout the third or fourth day, but the
counting should not be done until the
sixth or seventh day, or until most of
the shoots or stems are from 1 to IL
inches long. This part of the testing
must be done with considerable care
and requires good judgment, as ker-
nels will be found in all stages of de-
velopment. If the six kernels in any
one square in the terminating box
show six good healthy sprouts, the ear

Corn planting time! The United
States this year will have over 100000
600 acres planted to this king of crops
For this enormous acreage 100000
bushels of seed will be required.
Probably but little thought is given
by the average farmer to the germin-
ating quality of the seed used, for he
has so long been accustomed to get
ting stand, under ordinarily favor
able conditions, varying from 60 to So
per cent, that many have come to
think more complete stand impos-
sible. Yet experiments have shown
that barring unfavorable weather at
planting time, the work of grubs, wire
worms, and the like, there is no rea-
son why stand Of corn should be less
than 95 per cent. OF recent years, how
ever, conditions have much improved,
and never before has there been such
a demand for seed corn Of high vital
1ty. Some of our best farmers are be-
ginning to realize that one of the great
est factors in profitable corn produc-
ton is the use Of seed which will show
a high per centage of termination
Ii each corn grower wouldogive lit
tie time during the early, spring to the
testing Of the seed, the vitality of each
individual ear Of corn intended for
planting could be readily determined
The poor ears could then be discarded,
and the millions of bushels of seed
corn which fail to grow each spring
could be very profitably converted in
to pork and beef Of the 100000
bushels of seed corn which will be
planted this year, 1t is almost certain
that from two to three million bushels,
or nearly 20 per cent. of the corn first
planted, will fail to grow as result
of the low vitality of the seed. Thou
sands of acres will have to be replant-
ed either in their entirety or in part,
and many thousands more will grow
to maturity with an imperfect stand.
