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 i've feet. 1t is evident. therefore
that II we plough corn immediately
after planting, or after it is first nm
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 TO plough deep.
Our cultivation must, therefore. be lin
tied to the surface. and with the end in
view of killing the weeds and forming
the mulch of dry dirt which will shut
or surface evaporation, and spread ont
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
mulch of dry dirt on the surface.

Thunder md Milk.

To many persons the curdling of milk
In thunderstorm is a 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 a 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 farmer and
makes 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 80 cents an acre.
The agent promises orally that the
advertising money will not be payable
until the land is sold, but this stipula-
tion 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 $500.
