FIELD CORN.
Deep and Shallow cultivation--A Good
Wedding Tool.

Deep and Shallow CultlVation--A Good
Wedding Tool
4 diversity of opinion exists whether
1t should be deep or shallow cultivation
ia field corn. Those who make weed
killing an object usually cultivate
deeply, and moisture is only an Incl
dent, remarks writer in American
Agricuturst | mean that they cult
yate only when there are weeds to
kill
The Shallow Method.
To my mind the ideal cultivation is
the shallow method. The planter marks
are usually narrowed over and then
rrossways again before the corn comes
up. After coming up the weeder is
used about the third day. This tool
takes three rows at time. In action
il is similar 10 a harrow, but having
spring teeth does not drag trash. The
object of this tool is to kill the small
weeds that are sprouting, which it
does by the million. Another object
which it accomplishes is to break up
any crust and TO make mellow sur
face. Il also stirs the soil in the hills
around the small plants, which no 9th
or tool does
A Wonderful Tool.
However, the weeder cannot be used
without damage 10 the young plants
when they are the least wet either
from rain or dew or even on a cloudy
day. In the hands Of thinking man
it is a wonderful tool that has ca
pacity of twenty to thirty acres per
day. Some seasons l have known of
fields that had no other cultivation.
Usually ii is necessary after tue plants
attain some height TO use the regular
corn eulti9ator Not a large number
OF weeders afe IN use on account of the
skill required TO use them, as but few
hired men can run them.
Leaving the Corn Weedy.
The standard method Of cultivation
is the single row cultivator equipped
with four, six or eight shoveis Some
times the gopher attachment is used.
This consists Of series Of knives RIM

help usually run the plow gangs far

Tie result is strip Of grass and weeds

1908 feet, Michigan's 1854, Huron's

feet below the sea level, of Michigan
283 feet, of Ontario 491 feet. The
bottom of Huron is IL feet above
sea level, that of Erie 500 feet. On
tario, the smallest of the great lakes,
is relatively the deepest. If these

Washington, May 23,-Every

are holding down pretty hard jobs.
That is the information gathered
from the reports of the twelfth
United States Census Director
North in an interesting pamphlet.
The report throws some light on the
magnitude of the servant problem,
as over 100000 women who work
for living are domestics.
Nearly 100000 women, from the
age of 16 upward, are recognized in
this report to be entitled to posi-
tion in the ranks of the worlds
,Yorkers. Out of the 303 occupa.
1eions distinguished by the report,
there are only 8 in which women are
not represented. In continental
United States the exact number of
women at work is reported to be
4,833,631.

No Summer Schools.

State Superintendent of Educa-

ment about summer schools. He
states that there will be no summer
schools because there is no money
with which to pay expenses. These
schools have been conducted with
dispensary money and with a small
sam from the Peabody fund. The
amounts were as follows: For county
summer schools, $4,000; for State
summer school, $1,000, all from the
dispensary; and $4,000 from the
Peabody fund, making total of
$4,000.
This year there is not a dollar for
the purposes named. Instead of at
tending summer schools, Superin.

them where to apply for expense

OF Interest To Women.

To such women as are not seriously out
Of health, but who have eIacting duties
to perform, either In the way of house
hold cares or in social duties and func-
tions which seriously tax their strength,
as well as to nursing mothers, DIR. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription has proved a most
valuable supporting tonic and invigorat-
Ing nervine. BY its timely use, much
serious sickness and suffering may be
avoided. The operating table and the
surgeons knife, would, 1t is believed,
seldom have to be employed If this most
valuable womans remedy were resorted
to In good time. The "Favorite Prescrip-
ton" has proven greatboon to expectant
mothers by preparing the system for the
coming of'baby, thereby rendering child
birth safe, easy, and almost painless.
Bear in mind, please that DR.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription is not secret or
patent medicine, against which the most
intelligent people are quite naturally
averse, because of the uncertainty as to
their composition and harmless character,
but Is q MEDICINE OF KNOWN COMPOST
TON, a full list of all its ingredients being
printed, in plain English, on every bottle

ingredients will disclose the fact that it Is
aon-alcoholic in its composition, chemic-
ally pure, triple-retined glycerine taking
the place of the commonly used alcohol,
in It's makeup. In this connection it
may not be out Of place to state that the
