A Model Ear of Corn.

A model ear Of corn was recently
placed in the cornerstone of the new
Agricultural Building of the Missouri
College Of Agriculture at Columbia
The idea was to allow future gener.
atoms who should be living when this
building is RACED to see what was con.
sidered to be an ideal ear of corn In 1908.
The ear was fine specimen of Reid 8
Yellow Dent, almost cylindrical in shape
and with perfectly filled but and tip.
The rows we're straight, the kernels Of
good depth and the ear was perfectly
solid and compact. The kernels were
packed so closely together that DO open
space was left between the rows or be-
tween the kernels 10 the rows and it
was perfect in practically all details,
scoring SO q points out of possible 100.
A fine photograph of this ear was pre-.
served showing side view OF the ear
and also view Of the butt and tip
The College of Agriculture bad printed

The great interest that is being taken
in Missouri farmers 10 better seed corn
should be an incentive to every man to
study carefully the various types of ears
and the College of Agriculture will be
glad to place this photograph 10 the
hands OF any one who should desire it

We all cuss the knockers and yet
every one of US is knocker, himself.
You don't believe that? Well, it's the
truth. You knock your best friends,
and you know you do. You'll say in a
deprecating way, "Of course Jim's one
of the best fellows in the world, but
Lord, Lord, he's swelled up on himself. -"
The children knock their dad and even
their mother to each other, and mamma
and papa knock each other. too. Each
business partner knocks his associate
and gives you to understand il it wasn't
for him the firm would go to smash.
The kids at school knock the teacher.
The teacher knocks the kids, and then
one teacher knocks another. When pa
pa knocks mamma, he would be quite
angry and ready to fight, il anybody
else would knock her, and when nam.
ma takes her little hammer and begins
to use it upon papa, she would flare up
and SPIT fire 10 minute if anybody else
would join in upon the anvil chorus.
just after you've given your friend a
vigorous knocking, you are outraged if
you hear anybody else hand him good

ers don't join 10. We knock our friends
and those dear to US, and get mad il
anybody else does join in. But whether
others are privileged to help or not, we
reserve the right ourselves to knock
everything and everybody. Don t
swell up and say too many mean things
about the knockers, for remember when
you are cussing them, your remarks
would be equally applicable il directed
at yourself.

whose exhaustion leaves them utterly
worthless, hence mining towns are apt
to be regarded, by their citizens as well
as in general, as being transient also;
but as a matter of fact, while rich ore
bodies soon disappear, the mines remain
and for years are profitable. / need
only cite Virginia City, Leadville, Cen
trail City, Colorado, and similar places
where after a lapse Of a long period of
time the yield is abundant if not spec
~tacular. Leadville today is a perma-
nent city of at least 10000 and its ton
mage is practically rs great as ever.
Goldfeld mines will also be producing
and supporting a large community, in
my judgment, long after the present
generation shall ;.ave passed away.
The first thing, therefore, Which the
Chamber of Commerce can successfully
undertake is to dispel the apprehension
that Goldfeld is ba. the city of a day.
Her citizens must assure Themselves as
well as others that its growth, though
rapid, is not transient. and acting upon
this assumption, its needs are in many
respects precisely those Of a city IN
Iowa or any other agricultural section.
This bein. done, every man IN business
Of any character VIII sincerely eater
tain the same ldcos as to ,lGty and OPP
portunity that would Innate him else
where. This to my mind is self-evident
and when accomplished, it is half the
battle.
Those things which affect the whole
community for cool or evil are natur
ally within the jurisiic: ion of a BODY
like yours and can best receive atten-
tion from it. This is especially true N
view of the fact that you have here no
municipal government anil q rely fer
local initiative only uron ym,"sa,ves or
upon a board of commissioners charged
with the duty - governing all III
towns in .he county. Weekly meetings
of the members of the Chamber, which
will be inaugurated by the meeting at
noon of the 9th, if accompanied by an
interchange of views upon the various
aspects of community life and require
ments will soon develop enough material
for an active body of members to
handle for some time to come.
For example, the question of railway
service as affecting both passengers and
freight is an important one. With two
railways centering here, the Goldfield
merchants and miners should have, and
ie they exert themselves to get it they
will receive the benefit of railway COM
petition.
Let the community act as a unit upon
this matter and temper its demands
with a reasonable conservatism and en-
force their views with statistical infor.

year. Manager Mackenzie saws the cost of treatment will
not exceed $3.50 a ton; SO will mine. it, a tax per ton of

costs, 1t might be safe to figure the net returns at 20 per

the total stock issued (s35,35 ,71O), or 80 per cent on the
present selling price of the stock. And to all this is the
steady stream that pours from the Combination mill. One
other point-it touches our future deeply-and it must be
asked and answered. For how long a period can these
mines produce at the rate of s%7,OOo,O0of There is five
years business now in sight. Mr.. Geddes sees no reason
why these ore bodies without much change, may not go to
a thousand feet or more. The tonnage here reekoned with
lies practically all above the 35O-foot level. They have
followed it to the 600-and it's still going. Geddes is right,
and fifteen years will not see these mines exhausted, even

in this ground. A mile to the southeast, on the Victor
