Convalescents Can Work on the Farm
The Eudowood Sanitarium for Consumptives
will take an important step within few days
when it establishes farm colony, which will
be the first in this country connected with a
tuberculosis sanitarium.
The aim of the colony is to provide place
for the patients, in whom the progress of the
disease has been arrested, where they may be
selfsustaining until all traces of the disease
have left their systems. With this end in view
the farm adjoining the northumberland
Plains, containing 100 acres-has been leased
and will be titled by the discharged patients
The farm belongs to Mrs. T. Harrison Garrett
1t is generally known that many of the
patients after six months or years treatment
at the sanitarium are not entirely cured of the
disease. 1t is necessary for them to live in
surroundings conducive to the eradication of
whatever germs remain in their systems and it
is contended by the management of the sani-
tarium that the farm colony will effect this.
Truck farming and fruit raising will be en-
gagged in by the patients, who will be self-sup-
porting. Besides enabling them to live under
conditions necessary to their recovery the farm
work will accustom the patients TO work.

ter takes it readily Manuring for better grass
adds fertility for corn growing"
Mr.. Merryman said: II usually put manure on
during the winter and pillow the ground. Con-
sidering the condition Of the corn it will be well
for it to be tested and plant thicker than usual.
Three feet inches for the rows is good width
with stalk every IA inches The use of the
weeder after the corn is planted is advisable and
afterwards start the walking cultivator and
double shovel plows. 1t is well to work corn
four or FIVE times clean culture is necessary"
Mr.. J. S. Crowther said: ~ have been putting
out manure in the summer but now do 1t during
the winter and topdress the ground. The top
dressed manure gives best results but makes
more weeds. We are inclined to plant corn too
wide rather than too close. Better have two
small ears than one large ear. have cultivated
corn when it was high. Better defer harvest
than neglect the corn. believe in getting the
land in as good order as possible and cultivating
it as often as convenient. 1 do not generally
test corn"
Mr.. Gill said 81 like to pillow the ground in
the fall and prepare it well before planting. I
prefer planting both ways. 1 have never used
fertilizer for corn. 1t is essential to get good
seed corn, which is difficult to do this year.
put manure out before blowing the ground.
The corn harvester is used also the husker and
shredder combined"
Mr.. Ensor said AFTER pillow the ground 1

narrowing as it is left rough to prevent wash
ing. l have plowed under and sometimes put
the manure on the surface. 1 will drill about
400 lbs. of fertilizer per acre on corn. 1 have
dropped fertilizer in the hill, but saw no good
from it. plant corn 81 by 81 feet with two
grains to a stand. 1t is mistake to crowd corn.
1t should be worked as well as possible and L
find the last working does the most good. Some
high corn is broken, but it pays to cultivate it.
Mr.. Pearce said II have planted corn both
ways. This year 1 expect to plant one field one
way, but the surest plan is the cbeckered with
| two grains in the hill If the corn is drilled
there should be dropped two grains every 20
inches. One stalk every 20 inches is the same as
two stalks in hill, the checker way-3K by 3K

were quietly married at the home Of the
brides sister, Mrs. Eugene Rogers. Rev.
K. w. Powell performed the ceremony
and only the near relatives Of the con-

festive little wedding supper, the happy
pair departed on the nine o'clock train
for an absence of about a week. Both
are 80 well known here that personal
comment seems almost like introducing
brother and sister to the other members
of the family. AS nurse, neighbor and
friend, we have kno wn and valued Mrs
McHoes and her work among us. For
more than eleven years she has lived
and made friends in Custer. Mr. Smythe
is not quite so familiar a figure in this
Immediate community, but he has held
several positions Of responsibility in
neighboring camps and towns and has
long been recognized as one of the best
engineers in the Hills. We understand
that this genial couple will make their

hand of welcome and good fellowship,
wishing them long life Of success and

New rules for the examination of ma.
tional banks are now in effect and boards
of directors are most affected by the
change. Many will have to begin at
once to familiarize themselves with de.
tails Of the business Of their banks that
they have never bothered about before,
Ia order to be able to answer the list of
questions that will be put to them under
the new system. All directors will have
to tell what they know of the working
conditions of tho bank. In addition
they must tell whether they approved
loans before or after they were made !;
whether they can testify to the genuine
ness of signatures to the banks papers
and many other details regarding the
business OF the banks. This is required
ss precautiou against fraud and it 10
believed that many bank shortages will
be avoided when the directors become
acquainted with the business of the
banks, to the extent required by the
new rules.

Radium 10 O Metal.

Rsdium has been obtained from pitch

pitch blende are required to produce an
ounce Of rsdium. 1t was discovered in
1898 by Nine. Sklsdowski Curie and her
husband, Pierre Curis, of the Ecole
Polvtschnique, Paris. Pitch blende has
been found in Bohemia, Ssxony, Cald-

are about Eve pounds in the world. Its
atomic weight is 225. 1t belongs to the

affinity for the former. Rsdium will
impart its properties of light and heat
