Criticising Republicans for mis-
conduct comes in bad grace from
those whose party while railing
Missouri became notorious for its
favoritism to corporations and
trusts, to whom it granted lcgisla
tion in advance in return for con-
tributions to the Democratic cam
paign funds. Then We have the
spectacle of n Democratic lieuten-
ant governor resigning his office
because his connection with these
doings had been uncovered; and
we have Democrat as senior
United States senator from this
state who organized bogus ina
tional health society to urge a
Democratic legislature to pass a
law establishing trust in the
monopoly of the baking powder
business in the state. And there
we have also view of Democr attic
state senator's, representatives and
newspaper editors chasing thons-
and dollar bills in this connection,
and later another view of them
taking refuge behind their consti
tutional rights to save themselves
from having to give evidence that
would probably have landed them
in the penitcntiary. The Cardwell
case, with its "dignitied sum- to
buy off testimony dangerous to
the regulations of men high up as
leaders in the party in the state, is
another feature of the sweet smell,
ing record of this sanity party.
We see it also arm in arm with
thuggery to prevent honest cleo
tions in the larger cities of the state
under the protection of partisan
police force, with the result that it
stole the whole city government it
St. Louis in the spring Of 1905 by
fraud and balotbox stutfing. Ar
honest count there of this vote now
going on will in short time un
doubtedly throw the Democrats ou
of power in the city. These are bn
few of the things the Democrat
ic party of Missouri has been guilty
of. The Democracy of Missour

WOMANS 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-
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.
The cities present numerous cases
of physical and mental wrecks of
young persons brought on by dissipa-
ton and strenuosity in the battle for
commercial supremacy. Farmers
warn their sons and daughters of the
dangers that lie in their paths when
leaving the farms, but often forget to
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

'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 limited number of
ears are to be tested, a 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 a rack as is generally used for
drying seed corn. This is generally
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

JOURNALISM IN CHINA.
Dialect Newspapers Increase Gulf
Between Provinces.

United States Consul Anderson, at
Annoy, has made a report on journal
ism among the Chinese. He says:
at 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 1s cent
gold per copy. In addition to these
publications there are many religious
papers, mostly in Chinese, published
by the mission authorities.
I'm the south Hong Kong domi-
mates the publication business, and
as it is British colony, English publi-
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
large number of publications de
signed to fill various wants in South
China, a 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, art
fairly well equipped for their work
Some Of them attempt work in the
line of high grade magazine and bool
publishing, and while it is not Away,
an unmixed success from technica
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 lin,
of effort.
cit is rather interesting to not
that China at present seems to b.
passing through much the same pro
cess with it's newspapers and othe
publications that many parts of tn
United States have passed through
All over the empire native newspap
ers are being started in the colo
quial dialects, and are more or les
local in character
at is unfortunate in many re
spects that the publication of news
papers in the several local dialect
has developed so generally. Will
such publications will afford mean
of educating the people of the en-
pire in some lines, they also furnisl
the means for deepening the CULTS
dividing the several provinces whicl
differ in dialects. Each newspape
center, if it performs its natural mis-
sion, will develope it's own languag
in it's own field to the exclusion o
a language which might in time be
come common to all China"

eAHEYEY8E5 KING CORN AEMYA$MZ
V4@ How the Farmer Double His ~lnxa&&H4ss5@$
NSQMgNM' Great Crop. WxNES@W
KING CORN.

Corn planting time! The United
States this year will have over 100000
900 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 IS
per cent, that many have come to
think a 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
ity. Some of our best farmers are be-
ginning to realize that one of the great
est factors in profitable corn produc-
tion is the use of seed which will show
a high per centage of termination.
II each corn grower would give 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, it 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 a 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

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 a 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-
venturers at the wharves or
were degraded to service as coastwise
and with them vanished 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 el-
ephants-which was the inspiration of
the modern whaling industry.
Amador ledger., 1906-05-11

there any corn growers who can not
produce the equivalent of at least two
such ears to every hill? How many
grow 80 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

schools and at home that manual
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-
tion. The rural mail carries the daily
papers and magazines to the farm
door yard; telephones place the farmer
in direct communication with the out
side world; railroads open the channels
of trade to every commercial port;
yet there is life of monotony on
many farms. The places are not i'm
proved, the owners follow the fashions
of their forefathers. they do not
adopt new methods in any line and
their children become discouraged.
Amador ledger., 1906-05-11

1t seems incredible of realization,
that the average yield of corn in the
United States in 1905, when the total
production was the largest in our his
tory, was only 2S.8 bushels of shelled
corn per acre. 1t is still more sur
prising to know that the average pro-
duction per acre is practically the
same to-day as it was forty years ago.
In fact, the average yield per acre for
the. ten years from 1866 to 1875 was
2607 bushels as compared with 25.2
bushels for the ten years from 1896 to
1905. While there are several rea-

BICYCLES ON THE WANE.

Statistics furnished by the Census
Bureau at Washington show a marked
decrease in the manufacture of BIZ
cycles. Since 1900 the business has fall

Formerly there were 2,034 salaried

as in 1905 it was $5,S47,S03.
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

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 germinate 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 ~
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
