Right Way to Live Comfortably on

TO the American laboring man

that the farmer is receiving the
highest prices ever paid for his

is getting higher wages than

termination tests should be made
five or six weeks before planting time
but even if it is necessary to stop the
plow in the field, it is far more prof
table to have a good stand of corn on
10 acres than it is to have q 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 4 acres in every 90, for which they
receive comparatively no returns
In making the tests it is essential
that each ear tested should be given a
number and all kernels taken there
from given a 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 simple box which is be-
lieved to combine most of the advan-
tages, and give good results in the
hands of almost any operator. The box
would be about u or 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 filling the box with
sand. soil, or sawdust, as is commonly
recommended, the seed bed is made
of heavy canton flannel or similar ma

To Test Each Corn Ear.

The statement is made by officials of

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 3la feet apart
each way. giving 3.556 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. 6 or Z inches in
length and weighing a trifle more than
9 ounces, the yield for each acre would
be 2SS bushels, the average yield per
acre in the United States in 1905.
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 would produce 40
bushels per acre; an ear such
as d would yield As bushels per acre:
while an ear like L, which weighs a
trife less than Il pound, would yield so
bushels of shelled corn per acre, count
ing only one such ear for each of the

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

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
Of 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 " 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 domt
mates the publication business, and
as it is British colony, English publ
cations might reasonably be expected
to lead, but on the face of the record
the Chinese predominate. 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
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 boob

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 its own Language

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 broodiny over imagin-
ary 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.

Young persons brought on by dissipa-

warn their sons and daughters of the
dangers that lie in their paths when

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
idleness because they are taught in
