Farm Help Les. Expen.ive.

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 a great many men are
out Of work. With this condition farm
ers fad that they can get help more
readily now than they have been able
to for several years.
1t Is aseertained that where contracts
have been made In the Middle West and
Southwest for farm hands the rate of
wages averages about IS per month low
err than that prevailing a year ago.
A common rate Of pay for farm hands
at this time Is $50 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 $45, 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.

relieved of the necessity of STOPPING so

to the handle of the shovel, the oppo-

end Of the blade, being supported from
the latter by braces. The supplement

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

the operator can be readily slid back

After tins 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
yoots thrown ont Immediately above the
primary roots run sideways and occupy
ten or fifteen inches below the surface.
These lateral roots throw out fbrous or
feeding roots, which run In every di-
rection through the soil and occupy
every inch within a radius of from two
to five feet. 1t is evident, therefore,
that If we plough corn Immediately
after planting, or after it is first up
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 and forming
the mulch of dry dirt which win 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 dan
ger of cutting off the roots, the only
thing the farmer needs to do during
the latter period is to maintain the

Flowers at Funerals.

A clergyman who conducted the serv-

week caused q mild sensation and, for
the time, made the mourners forget their

ape the rich people in this custom was
as reprehensihle as 1t would be to fol-
low them in dress. Il have come TO be

Cultivation of Corn.


Corn makes a rank growth both above
ana below ground, and for that reason
requires treatment somewhat different
from what Is given TO wheat or eats.
PLANTING In rows is necessary not only
70 permit full development of the stalks,
put also to give plenty of feeding room
10 the roots. Corn roots, IL they have
chance, viii occupy every inch TO the
depth of from three to five feet, and
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 OF
the soil. 1t may be limited In many
ways, SO that the farmer, instead of us
ing from three to five feet of his field
rs soil, will use only small portion Of
1t. II the land is not properly drained,
either naturally or artificially, 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
reaeh into that, and he may be cult
waiting but six, eight or ten inches of the
held as soil. If the land be heavy and
pioughed 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
AID 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, 1t will be seen, has
no top-root. The first roots start out
from the seed grain and go down.
