CORN Is KING.
Successful Farmer Tells How He
Raises Hundred Bushels Per Acre.

have raised more than 100 busheN
of corn per acre three times during
the last four years, and expect to have
more than 100 bushels per acre this
year. l did it in this way, explains
I. F. Andrews, in Farm Journal.
take my hay crop off and then let
the second crop grow unpastured until
1t is at its best, then I pillow it down
and sow to rye; in the spring I ma
nure the rye and let it grow until al.
most the first of May, when the rye
is coming into head. plow rye and
manure down, put on Is bushels of
lime per acre, and SOW it to corn, put
ting 1875 pounds of rock fertilizer to
the hills per acre. I mark out the
corn rows three feet eight inches each
way, plant four grains to the hill, and
later pull out the smaller plants to two
to the hill. I cultivate the corn both
ways until you can see neither horse
nor man over the top of the corn.
When the corn is ready to cut l haul
1t off; and seed the field to wheat and
grass. l. never leave the grass crop
more than one year, so I need only
three fields for my rotation.
l select the thickest, longest-grained
corn that I can find for seed-ears
that will shell about one quart of
shelled corn per ear. Some critics
say that thick cobs are waste; but
grains one inch in length around a
thick cob will shell more than twice
the quantity that short grains around
thin cob will shell; and l raise corn
for the corn, the cob going in the bar
gain. I always mix my seed corn,
that is, put one peck Of the best corn
can buy to each bushel Of my own
selected seed, and mix well.
When the corn comes into tassel I
take broom handle with a knife at
the end, and pass through the corn,
clipping off the tassel of the weaker
one OF the two stalks in each hill; and
If the difference in the stalks is not
too great, the clipped stalk will have
the larger ear. l like a strong stalk to
furnish the pollen, and one tassel to
each hill is amply sufficient to fer
tllize all the corn. l can clip the tas-
sells off two acres of corn in one day
II smut appears on the tassel or any
part of the corn stalk, I clip off with
the knife, and those stalks make full
ears; while If the smut was left on,
they would not produce any corn, or at
best only shriveled small ears. l sci.
dom have six hills missing per acre, as
I replant as soon as the blades peep
above ground. And if birds or some
thing else destroy some hills when too
late to replant corn grains, replant
with corn stalks, and raise full ears
on such replanted stalks. Thorough.
ness pays.

TRAGEDY.

London.-A woman named Mrs.

one of the most terrible ordeals ever
known.
She fell into a trance after a short
illness and was placed in a coffin in
the belief that she was dead.
She lay silent, unable to move or

funeral were going on all around her.
Mrs. Cartons husband, who is an

grief when, few days ago, he found
her apparently dead after few days
illness.
All arrangements were made for the
funeral; coffin was brought and the
woman was laid in it,

contesting districts to qualify. No
sooner was the door closed, shutting
the committee from the lobby, in

SOME FARMS TOO LARGE.
Farmers Make a Mistake by Trying
to Handle Too Much Acreage.

The story is going the rounds of the
press of man that had 1,200-acre
farm and had three daughters. As
each got married he gave her a quar-.
ter of the farm, or 300 acres, and
put all his stock and all his energies
on the remainder. To his surprise he
found that he made just as much
money on the smaller portion as on
the larger portion. When he had but
300 acres left he found his profits IS
large as they had been on the 1900
acres, and he was being worried a
great deal less.
There are many farms that are too
large. They are too costly to keep
up, and their owners cannot manage
to advantage. The larger the farm
the more skillful must the manage.
ment be, for the greater will be the
proportion of work that must be done
by others than by the owner. This
is the point at which the big farm
is put to a disadvantage. A hired
worker can never do the work that
the owner can, for he lacks interest.
There are a great many large farms,
says the Farmers Review, that would
be more valuable to the community
if they were broken up into several
farms and were sold to different farm.
ers that would live on them and be
contented with owning one farm and
no more. Intensive agriculture must
come more and more into vogue with
the increase of population, but this
should be under individual owners,
rather than under system of land
lordism in which the owners are resid.
ing in the cities and working the land
by proxies.
