The merchant cannot afford to have
a man who staggers up to his GUS

mobile is peril in the hands of a

Business men are constrained TO set
example. Not many of them are to
be found hanging over the bars of
their home towns. There is prejudice
against it on the part of the trade,
and business considerations influence
them to take their drink at home or
in the comparative privacy of their
club. Publicity disclosing evil Is not
good for business.

Business Is more and more disposed
to be critical and the habits of young
men seeking employment Abstract
moral questions are not involved. The
questions are wholly practical. Thus
it is that young men who want to get
on have constant prod as to their
character. They are asked to submit
testimonials. The probe is applied
thru secret channels. Young men who
think they can fool their employers fool
themselves.
Business ought to have recognition
for the good 1t is doing in the world.
1t may not be entitled to praise but
1t is proper to give 1t recognition as
great agent, ceaselessly active. for
the development of honest, intelligent
and sober men.

Timely Cultivation Makes Corn.
Dakota Tarmer)

NY (D1KOLa TaTIIleIJ
Isaac Lincoln, the widely known
businessman. scotsman and farmer OF
Aberdeen. whose large farm near that
place is famous for its productiveness
rain or shine, thinks he has at last
solved the problem Of how to mature
a good crop Of corn every year under
our Dakota conditions.
Mr.. Lincoln puts special emphasis
on narrowing, wedding and general cul-
tivaton. but he insists that 1T must
all be done-and done thoroughly-be-
fore the middle of July, and the man
who dared to stick a pillow into his
field after that date would undoubtedly
ruin his crop. He says, further. that
In case of heavy rain or the corn pc
ing quite weedy, that he might drag an
old mower wheel, or something ofthat
kind between the rows, to break up
the crust and break down the weeds;
but that under no circumstances would
he allow any one to go into his corn
field at this late date with plow or
cultivator.
Our experience and extended obser-
walton all go to show that Mr.. Lin
coin is right, only we think we should
exclude the plow or the very coarse
cultivator a little sooner, and extend
the time of the weeder or very light
corn drag little longer providing the
season was a very dry one. We have
no use for q corn "plow," or very
coarse cultivator for corn in the
drier parts of the Dakotas, only shortly
after it is up and the narrowing has

will. of course, stand the. deep culti-
walton a little later. but the main
roots of the corn are likely to be seri-
.ously injured even In such cases.
Late surface cultivation and when
we say surface" we mean a bare
scratching of the first inch or two of
the soilzt4sannot. in our judgment, be
carried on too late when the corn is
threatened with drowth. The man
who keeps the light drag or weeder
going late, such seasons, is the one
who will have corn and clean fields;
but to give the corn an old-fashioned
blowing out" at that late date. would,
in our judgment, be blowing out the
corn literally and irreparably injure
IT,
We know of fields of corn today
that have stopped growing simply be-
cause it is being smothered by the
packed condition of the surface soil,
made so by excessive rain. To slightly
break this crust, as suggested by Mr..
Lincoln, we believe that every farmer
should have some kind Of light weed
err, or perhaps better still, set OF
small, V-shaped drags. just wide
enough to cover all the surface be-
tween the pows and SO hooped to-
gether that team could draw three
or more of them thru tall corn. We
recall how Theodore Lewis, Wscon-
sins famous hog and corn man, used
to get fifty to seventy-fve bushels OF
sound corn by this practice, IN seasons
so dry that his deep-cultivating. or no.
cultivatiniy neighbors got scarcely fod-
der corn. At such times, Mr.. Lewis,
whose farm is very sandy, kept this
light surface cultivation up until the
first ears began to glaze.

THE NEED FOR SIMPLICITY.

Mr.. Whitelaw Reid, ambassador to
the court Of st. James, is it is reported
from the other side of the water, re-
ceiving some sharp criticism from the
legedly ostentatious manner in which
he entertains. Seldom it is said out

that among the higher classes of Brit
ish society Mr.. Reds style of enter
tainment at his magnificent mansion is
considered to approach that Of the vul-
garian. In Mr.. Reds behalf it is ar
gued that he is living as rich men and
son laws of American millionaires
live at home.
An American newspaper, the demo-
cratic Baltimore Sun, referring to the
circumstance, set forth says:
1t is all very well for Mr.. Reid to
spend pot of gold upon a party or a
dinner, but is it appropriate for the
representative of republic where the
people are supposed to be plain and
unpretentious and hold to the theory
that one man is as good as another
and big sight better to be conducting
himself in this royal way? When Mr..
Reid's term ends-as all earthly things
must end sooner or later-a compare
lively poor man may be appointed to
succeed him. He will, of course, be I'M
able to keep the pace set by Mr.. Reid.
The question is pertinent We have
sent abroad a certain set Of tourists
that have by ostentation and display
set one price for "rich Americans" and
another for ordinary travellers. The
vulgarian has been abroad with his
money until as Booth Harrington re-
lates they, have given Ameri-
can citizenship a wrong Interpretation

not necessary for Ambassador Reid to
outspend royalty in order to represent
