The New Eootnoan.

Fun seems all the funnier when COM
ing from the Quakers, because it IS I'M
looked for and in contrast with their
usual sobriety. For instance, what
could be funnier than the method used
by Nicholas VAIN, a gifted minister of
the Friends who lived in Philadelphia
during the eighteenth century, to NOR
tify the carnal pride of his wife? The
story is as follows:
The wife of Nicholas Vain was an
only daughter. and for those days pos
sessed very large inheritance She
thought it would be suitable to her
wealth and station to have a footman
behind her carriage. This wish being
frequently expressed, her husband at
last promised to comply with it. Ac-
cordingly the next time the carriage
was ordered for the purpose of making
a stylish call she was gratified to see
a footman mounted. When she ar
rived at her place of designation the
door of the carriage was opened and
the steps let down in very obsequious
manner by the new footman, and great
was her surprise and confusion to rec
ognize In him her own husband.

Cooper Says Internal Parasites Cause Much
Suffering Everywhere.

The following remarkable statement
was recently made by l.. T. Cooper.
1t concerns the preparation which has
been SO widely discussed throughout
the country during the past year and
has sold in such enormous quantities
in leading cities:
at is now a well-knOwn fact that
wherever | have introduced my New
Discovery medicine, hundreds of peO-
pie have brought internal parasites,
or tapeworms, to me. In many cases
these people did not know the nature
of the parasite. and were consequently
extremely nervous until | explained
the matter to them In some cities so
many have had this experience that
the public generally became alarmed.
Il take this opportunity of explain
ing what these creatures are, and what
| have learned about them in the past.
"Tapeworms are much more COM
mon than would be supposed. | ven

parasites and not be aware of it.
Contrary to general belief, the ap-
petite is not greatly increased-it only
becomes irregular. There is a general
feeling of faintness,. however, and
gnawing sensation in the pit of the

People afflicted with one of these
parasites are nervous and depressed

and the mind becomes; dull and slug

good, and the eyesight is generally
poorer.
"The New Discovery, in freeing stom-
ach and bowels OF all impurities, seems
to be fatal to these great worms, and

thrown away from the row. This
causes the corn TO root deeper and
helps TO maintain level cultivation.
The Hallock weeder is used next, and
then the field is cross-cultivated with
the rear shovels set next TO the corn.
The weeder is used again, followed by
the third blowing, in which the front
shovels are set next to the corn.
At is a good general rule that corn
should be cultivated after each rain
but this cannot be exactly followed
for corn should be cultivated once ev-
cry week, whether it rains or not
There is great benefit in keeping a
two-inch dust mulch on the top of the
ground throughout a dry season. If
the results under such cultivation are
compared with those in a neighbours
field, where no dust mulch is maintain
ed. a great contrast will be seen. The
corn will be firing in the latter field
when no such injury appears in the
former There is no question about
the benefit of continued cultivation
through dry season: anybody can
see it. 1t costs only 80 or 40 cents
per acre to cultivate corn, and the
cultivation should be kept going.
Corn Not Laid BY" Until August.
After the corn is too high to pillow
with a two-horse cultivatoT, the work
is continued with the Planet Junior
-cultivator and one horse, two and
sometimes three such shallow work
ings being given in July The corn is
cultivated until it falls down, and the
bad weeds are hoed out of the field
early in August.
We do not cultivate deep when there
are no weeds to destroy In all this
cultivation we aim to kill the weeds
when they are very small, and thus to
save the necessity of blowing deep.
Here are 1G workings of the ground
to produce a crop of corn, but they
are all of a kind that may be done
very rapidly This extra cultivation
puts the ground in much better condi-
ton for oats or clover the following
year. Besides cleaning out the weeds,
all this stirring of bacteria and plant
food in the soil seems to be a help to
the crop. The work of cultivation
should not be stopped until the fallen
stalks make it impossible.

TWO MINUTE SKETCHES
Hendrick Hudson.
BY ROBERTUS LOVE.

4 YHEN year or so ago a steam.
NM boat for traffic on the Hud.
" son river was launched with
the name Hendrick Hudson.
somebody demonstrated, holding that
the maine of the vessel should be
Henry Hudson, because that was Hud-
sons real name. Nevertheless it seems
fitting that the boat be named Hen
drick instead of Henry, for it was
while in the service of the Dutch East
India company that the English navi-
gator discovered the great river which
bears his name. Moreover. his own
country was SO jealous of his prowess
as a discoverer for another nation that
on his return to the old world Hudson
was practically impressed into the
British service and was not permitted
to enjoy his full reward for the sue
cesses achieved by him when he voy-
aged under the Dutch name of Hen
drick.
Hudson persisted miserably in the
service of British interests. This was
when he made his disastrous voyage in
search of that long hidden northwest
passage which iured so many mariners
to defeat or doom and which was final
ly discovered by Captain Road Amund-
sen nearly three centuries after Hud-
sons death. Hudson sailed into the
vast northern bay which, along with
the gloriously picturesque river. keeps
his name on the map of the world.
There was mutiny aboard and the
mariners set the great navigator adrift
in small boat in the icy waters with
his son and a few other adherents.
The fate of Hudson and his party is
still a mystery of the frozen north.
For the people of the United States
Hudson's chief achievement was the
discovery of the wonderful river at
the mouth of which has grown up the
second city of the world in population
and the first in commercial impor-
lance.
Hendrick Hudson sailed northward
around Sandy Hook and, entered the
river in September, 1909, in the Dutch
ship Half Moon. The explorer spent
a month studying the stream, going up
| as far as the site of the city of Albany

Stephen A. Douglas.
BY ROBERTUS LOVE.
He 1Vas giant
in intellect.

" Jerry early in his career Stephen
W \. Douglas became known
" throughout the country as 1.-The
Little Giant" The sobriquet was
a fit one. Physically he was short and
slight-a little man. Mentally he was
big from his boyhood. His head was
large and correspondingly brainy. He
was giant in intellect.
Douglas was daringly ambitious. His
goal was the presidency of the United
States. AS schoolboy in Vermont and
western New York the familiar para
doxical fact that ANY American boy
can become president" seems to have
taken possession of him. He settled in
Il new state, Illinois. to grow up with
the country and work himself into lead
ership. Though he failed of the pres
idency. he was in the whitest heat of
the presidential limelight for years.
Perhaps no man in American history
rose to national eminence so rapidly
as did Douglas. He almost won a
nomination for congress at the age of
twenty Only three years later
he was a member of the supreme
court of Illinois. resigning this Office
at the age of thirty to enter congress.
In the lower house Douglas became at
once a national figure. Entering the
senate a few years later, his fame
widened and deepened with each sue
ceeding year. Douglas was far more
prominent man In 1852 than was
Franklin Pierce, who defeated him for
the Democratic nomination for pres
fdent and was elected Douglas was
still under forty. Four years later the
engrossing slavery problem had so
divided his party that again he failed
to win the nomination In 1860 he
was nominated by the northern sec
ton of the Democracy.
1t was his espousal of the doctrine
of "squatter sovereignty" which con-
tended that every territory should be
permitted to vote for itself on the
question Of slavery, that cost Douglas
the presidency.
Douglas died at the early age of
forty eight, few months after the in
auguration of his greatest opponent.
Abraham Lincoln. 1t is to his ever
lasting credit that he upheld Lincoln
in the effort to preserve the republic.
This fact may be taken as the moral
measure of the man. His last words
to his political adherents were:
There can be no neutrals in this
: war"

tWritten for the Illinois Farmers In
stitute Press Bureau by Arthur
j. BILL
Charles A. Rowe, the Jacksonville
farmer of small place who told in a
previous letter his methods in getting
a crop of corn started, has the follow
ing to say, from the practical side,
about the cultivation of this crop: 1t
is of great benefit to stir the ground
thoroughly with harrow after plant.
ing and before the corn comes up.
For this work, wire two sections of a
harrow to a rail, placing them the
proper distance apart for each to ex-
tend over two rows of corn. With
this outfit four rows are narrowed at
a time, and one man can harrow 40
acres of corn in a day. Lengthen the
checks and separate the horses, so
that each will walk between two rows
of corn. This narrowing, however,
cannot be well done when the stalks
lie on top of the ground.
Invents Little Harrows.
This year we made some little har-
rows just to fit the corn row. Each
consists of three cleats, PA inches
nailed across a couple of 10-inch
boards. with three harrow teeth in
each cleat. The teeth are set to slant
backwards at an angle of 40 degrees.
Three such harrows or sections were
made and set together the proper dis
fD, tc Ira, Df
corn. Each section has nine teeth and
harrows a strip of ground Is inches
wide. This implement did very eff
fective work, scratching down in the
row better than the weeder would do.
We began using it Immediately after
the corn was planted. AS it takes
three rows at a time. the field is gone
over very rapidly. | would not har-
row the corn when the sprouts are
just in sight or when they are within
an inch of the top of the ground.
After the Corn is Up.
After the corn is up we usually go
over the ground with a rotary hoe,
which digs up the surface thoroughly
without doing much damage to the
corn. This hoe works two rows at a
time. 1t is a wet weather implement,
just as the Hallock weeder is adapted
TO dry weather conditions.
Most farmers have not the courage
to harrow the corn when it is well
up. but it may be narrowed with great
benefit when it is three or four inches
high. After such a working the corn
may look at first as though it had suf-
fered great damage, but in four or five
days it will come out all right.
The first blowing is with a six
shovel cultivator, with the rear shovels
set next to the corn. so the dirt is
