An InpIorio11s Wound

On one of the volunteer ranges in the
north is a well-known old Irish sergeant,
who has charge. 1t may be mentioned
that he went through three wars-the
Crimean, the Indian Mutiny, and the
Chinese-and during the whole of that
time never received a single wound.
Old W, as he is called, occasionally
acts as marker at the targets, and his
utter recklessness has become a prov
erb.
He has been known to walk forth from
behind the mantelet without the slight
est warning, and touch up a bullseye
which did not quite satisfy him, or to
note the exact position of shot.
AT all remonstrances he would sniff
contemptuously.
ME be shot? Me?' he would ask.
"Why, I've bin through three war RS,
and was niver shot, yet. Pah! .Phwat's
a bit O. led flying through the air." and
he would assume an air of diSgueSt.
1t actually occurred, however, at last,
and he was shot through the shoulder.
For moment. as frequently happens
with rife shots, such is their terrible
force, he did not know he was struck;
then, when he observed the blood stream
ing down his sleeve, he commenced to
walk down the range, right in the line
of fire.
1t was seen that something was wrong
and they hurried to meet him. AS he did
so he tottered and had to be carried.
"Shotw he groaned, with a look of
shame. "Shot, and by Saturday after
loon soldiern'--Tit-Bits.

After this the roots are sent out in
whOrls of from two to ten. AS the plant
advances toward maturity, these whorls
rise closer to the surface. The first
roots thrown out Immediately above the
primary roots run sideways and occupy
ten or fifteen inches below the surface.
These lateral roots throw out fibrous or
feeding roots, which run in every di-
rection through the soil and occupy
every inch within radius of from two
to five feet. 1t is evident, therefore,
that if we plough corn Immediately
we can plough as deep as we like, and
generally the deeper the better When,
however, the roots begin to rise and
occupy every square inch Of soil within
reach, it will not do 10 plough deep.
Our cultivation must, therefore, be linn
tied to the surface and with the end in
view of killing the weeds aid forming
the mulch of dry dirt which will shut
off surface evaporation, and spread out
the water which is continually rising
from below within reach of the roots
The older and larger the plant the
shallower should the cultivation be. In
fact, if the ground is well prepared,
ploughed deep when there is no dam
ger of cutting OFF the roots, the only
thing the farmer needs to do during
the latter period is to maintain the
mulch Of dry dirt on the surface.

Thunder and Milk.

To many persons the curdling of milk
in thunderstorm is mysterious and
unintelligible phenomenon. Yet, ac-
cording to scientists the whole process
is simple and natural. Their claim is
that milk, like most other substances,
contains millions Of bacteria. The
milk bacteria that in day or two,
under natural conditions, would cause
the fluid to sour are peculiarly sus-
ceptible to electricity. Electricity in
spires and invigorates them, as alco-
hol, cocaine or strong tea affects mel.
Under the currents influence they fall
to work with amazing energy, and in
stead of taking couple of days to
sour the milk they accomplish the task
completely in a half hour. With an
electric battery it is easy on the same
principle to sour the freshest milk.

A New swindIe ON Farmers.

An entirely new but highly successful
scheme to separate farmers from their
money has been worked in South Da-
kota during the past few months.
An oily CRATER calls on a farmer and
makes a bid for his land. The figures
are absurdly low at first, but by de-
grees are raised as high as $50 an acre,
and the farmer consents.
Then the visitor explains that he is
only an agent, but that he can sell the
land at the price named if the owner
will agree to pay for advertising at the
rate of so cents an acre.
The agent promises orally that the
advertising money will not be payable
until the land is sold, but this stipula-
ton is not contained in the contract
that the farmer signs.
In few days he receives a copy Of
an ad and not overcourteous demand
for money.
1t is said that twenty-five agricul-
turists were caught with this bait in
Brown County and that one Of them
gave up 1920.

CnItixation of Corn.

Corn makes rank growth both above
and below ground, and for that reason
requires treatment somewhat different
from what is given to wheat or oats.
Planting in rows is necessary not only
to permit full development of the stalks,
but also to give plenty of feeding room
to the roots. Corn roots, if they have
a chance, will occupy every inch to the
depth Of from three to five feet, ana
the yield of the corn will depend on
the completeness of this occupation.
The feeding ground, or, in other words,
the corn root pasture, depends mainly
on the preparation and cultivation Oh
the soil. 1t may be limited in many
ways so that the farmer, instead OF u.s.
ing from three to five feet Of his field
as soil, will use only a small portion OF
it. If the land is not properly drained,
either naturally or artifcially, the corn
roots cannot penetrate into the regions
saturated with water, for the water
shuts out the air. If hard pan comes
near the surface the corn roots cannot
reacn into That, and he may be cultl-
waiting but six, eight or ten inches of the
field as soil. If the land be heavy and
ploughed wet, full of Jumps on the sur
face or resting on the plough pan or
bottom of the furrow, the corn roots
cannot utilize these, and hence his soil
is limited. If he has ploughed under,
in dry time, coarse manure, so as to
shut off the supply of water from be-
low, the corn roots are again limited.
1t is, therefore, about as necessary for
| the farmer to understand corn roots
and their habits and ways as it is for
| the surgeon to understand the anatomy
of the system, where the bones lie, and
where the arteries, veins, nerves and
muscles are hidden under the skin.
The corn plant, it will be seen, has
no top-root The first roots start out
from the seed grain and go down.

ing and lifting. The operator is also
relieved of the necessity of STOPPING SO
low as he does in shovels of the or
binary construction. He introduces
supplemental handle, which is secured
to the handle of the shovel, the oppo-
site end extending forward of the rear
end of the blade, being supported from
the latter by braces. The supplement
tai handle is engaged by the forward
hand of the operator, the latter being
thus greatly relieved of weight. 1t
avoids the twisting strain of the body
caused by lifting heavy load when
the forward hand is placed low down
upon the usual handle. The hand Of
the operator can be readily slid back
aid forth in the various manipulations
of the scoop, rendering it more con-
venient and efficient in use, adapting
it to be used with decreased power and
strain.

Flowers at Funerals.

A clergyman who conducted the serv-
ices at a funeral on the east side last
week caused a mild sensation and, for
the time, made the mourners forget their
loss by speaking of the foolish display
Of flowers" He said that the effort to
ape the rich people in this custom was
as reprehensible as it would be to fol-
low them in dress. Il have come to be
with you when you take leave of the
dead" he said, "but l speak to the liv-
iIg. and ask you to remember that there
are places in the world where death no
tees state also that no flowers are want
ed and ask that the money which would
have been spent for them be sent to char
table Institutions" The sentiment evil
IDENTIFY found favor in some minds, for an
extract from a sensible sermon made
from memory was sent to all the east
side publications.-New York Tribune.

ITCHING HUMOR ON BOY.

His Hands Were a Solid Mass, and
Disease Spread All Over Body
Cured in Days by Cuticura.
Zone day we noticed that our little
boy was all broken out with itching
sores. We first noticed it on his little
hands. His hands were not as bad
then, and we didn't think anything
serious would result. But the next day
we heard of the Cuticura Remedies
being so good for itching sores. By
this time the disease had spread all
over his body, and his hands were
nothing but a solid mass of this itch
ing disease. 1 purchased box of Cuti-
cura Soap and one box of Cuticura
Ointment, and that night 1 took the
Cuticura Soap and lukewarm water
and washed him well. Then 1 dried
him and took the Cuticura Ointment
and anointed him with it. did this
every evening and in four nights he
was entirely cured. Mrs. Frank Don

Short Suggestions.

When cooking new green peas add a
few pods to them and you will find the
flavor improved.
Do not wash oilcloth or linoleum in
hot suds. Use tepid water and wipe
with cloth dampened in equal parts of
cold milk and water.
Do not cut heavy cord or cardboard
with scissors, for it will spread the
blades and destroy the usefulness of the
scissors. Keep knife handy for this
purpose.
Sponges should always be hung by
cords on hooks that they may get all
the air possible, and it is best to put
them in the open air just outside of the
window to dry.
Every coffee pot should occasionally
De washed out with a solution of sal
soda and boiling water.
Casters on the legs of the kitchen
table will be found a great convenience.
When this article of furniture is to be
moved there will be no danger of strain
ing ones self.
Cover the floor of the kitchen with
good linoleum. 1t is much easier to
stand and walk on, does not tire the
feet as a harder floor, and, when prop
erly laid, is more easily cleaned and
kept clean, threfore more sanitary and
labor saving than wood floor.

The Coddlinr Moth.

About one-fifth of the first laying of
eggs by the coddlihg moth is on the
fruit, the rest being on the leaves and
branches. The young larva that
matches from the egg is able to feed
on the foliage to some extent and may
come into maturity without entering
the fruit, although it rarely does so.
About 80 per cent of the first brood
finds it's way Into the apples at the
calyx, while the rest eat in at other
points, principally at the stem. Only
about % per cent of the second brood
enters at the calyX, the others eating
in where the apples touch each other,
or a leaf at the stem end. The aver
age life of the adult insect, or moth,
is about four days.

Farm Helm Less Expensive.

Farm labor is cheaper than it was at
this time last year and is pretty sure
to continue so for the season. There
has been some curtailment in manufac-
turing throughout the country, the re-
suit being that great many men are
out of work. With this condition farm
ers find that they can get help more
readily now than they have been able
to for several years.
1t is ascertained that where contracts
have been made in the Middle West and
Southwest for farm hands the rate of
wages averages about So per month low
er than that prevailing a year ago.
A common rate of pay for farm hands
at this time is $25 per month, as against
$50 last season. Competent men with
experience in special departments OF
farming will command more, but not as
much as in 1906 and 1907. Good live
stock hands receive $50 to $40, but
above this there are few men hired even
for fancy farming or the specialties who
are receiving more.
Youths and inexperienced immigrants
are offering their services for from SIS
to $50 per month.

Concrete Outdoor Cellar.

A simple method of constructing a
cool, outdoor cellar in localities where
the common house cellars are too
warm for use during the summertime,
is shown in the accompanying sketch.
1t is cellar made under the pump,
so that the water pumped by the
windmill has very cooling effect.
In places where it is difficult to obtain
ice, it will prove Indispensable to the

other important item is the fact that
