In order to grow good crop OF
corn, Il is essential for the soil to be
well plowed and thoroughly pulver-

in. Eptomist, it is advisable to wait
until the ground is in proper condi-
ton for tinage. The aim should
be to- get the soil in thorough and
complete tllth before planting. A
thorough preliminary. cultivation
aids in the formation of'plant food
and by aerating or ventilating the
soil, influences the soil temperature
as well as, in a measure, controls the
supply of moisture. Best of ALL it
kills out or retards weed growth,
which is very important because
weeds consume the plant food and to
that extent rob crops BY shading

for continued cultivation is as much

Earth Not a sinole sphere.

Is the earth made up of three con.
centric spheres? \ physicist says
that such is the case. The solid
nucleus he supposes to be between
5000 and 1000 miles in diameter and
this is surrounded by LIQUID sub
stratum, outside of which is the crust
variously estimated at 20 to 200 miles
in thickness. More than two centul-
les ago a similar theory, including
the slow rotation of the inner solid
sphere on a different axis from that
of the entire globe. was held by Dr.
Edmund HALEY to account for the
changes i'm the earth's magnetism
The axis of the nucleus was thought
TO have been originally that of the
entire globe, and to the change of it,
course was attributed the dcugc
The earths internal heat il is now
pointed out, may be accounted for by
the friction of the differently rotating
bodies.

Feeding Chicks.

II is quite the thing nowadays to
keep dry feed before chickens all the
while. Perhaps one OF the best ar
guments in its favor is the opportu-
nifty it offers for the weaker or more
timid members of the flock to get
their share. Usually the dry feed"
is composed of the smaller grains,
but ground feed is excellent served
in this way, so there is a reasonable
variety. A Pennsylvania man gives
heap of advice in the following par
agraph:
1--WE have tried all the different
methods Of feeding and have found
the most successful. is the dry feed
ing. We don't feed the chicks for
from thirty-six to forty-eight hours
after Matching. and then feed the
dry chick feed, many different grains
being mixed together. We feed this
the first four weeks steadily. We
also keep n box of beef scraps be-
fore them at all times after the
fifth day. We do not give them
water until the third day. BY fol-
lowing the above we can almost see
=
that we keep the chick feed before
our chicks at all times the first few
days, so they can eat as often and as
much as they want BY this way we
find the inactive chicks get more,
and in a short time they start off and
grow like the rest. AS a rule it is
the inactive chicks starving to death
that runs the death rate up in brood
er chicks. In regard to skimmilk l
would not advise giving it to chicks
under four weeks of age. 7 think
after that it can be fed to chicks at
an advantage. No doubt there are
other methods which are giving good
results for others, but the above has
proven to be the best for us after
twenty years experimenting. After
four weeks we vary the feed. drop

in agriculture in our rural schools.
In bulletin just out he outlines the
plans for beginning this undertaking.
The publication IS issued in refer
ence to the work TO be taken up this
spring
In substance, his scheme is this:
In the first three years the pupils
will be led gradually to understand
and appreciate the value of birds.
flowers, plants and animals, through
the medium of conversation and
written language lessons. The work
I'm the fourth and NTH grades will be
a combination of geography and out
door study, with the purpose OF
quickening the observative powers OF
the pupils. In the sixth year, the
importance of tho farmer i'm the
worlds economy is dwelt upon. The
closer study of seeds and plants, such
as farmers grow, will be taken up;
also inquiry into the relation of the
plants to the soil, and the work OF
insects and wind in pollinatlon, etc,
will occupy an important part of the
time. Experimental work will be in
troduced as far as possible In the
seventh and eighth grades work like
that of scafting, tree pruning and
planting will be in order a more
advanced study of farm crops will
here be taken up, and the boys be in
duced to try cultivation experiments
and report results the next year.
The work designed for the township
high school will be farther advanced,
of course, than that in the preceding
grades

TEXAS TRAM is ROBBED.
Express Messenger Beaten and Hurled
OF Train.

Redwater, Tex, Dec. S.-The express
car attached to train No. Of the Cot
ton Belt route. was robbed and Elk
press Messenger w. A. Grissip hurled
from the moving train after having
been beaten and badly wounded by the
robbers. The robbery, it is believed,
occurred about mile from this place,
but was not discovered until the train
reached Eylau, the next stop. The ex-
press messenger was found beside the
track, badly hurt, and showed indica-
tions of desperate fight. The robbers
escaped.
That the robbery was successful is
evident so far as hasty inspection OF
the car and its contents would indicate
but the amount stolen is not known.
At Eylau Conductor Blair, who was
in charge of the train, saw that the
door of the express car had been
forced, and on entering found it splat
tered with blood, the messenger miss
ing and the car bearing every appear
ance Of having been looted The train
men were sent back on hand cars and
Grissip was found. While he is badly
hurt, 1t is not believed that his injuries
will prove fatal.
