4 New SvvindIe 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 a bid for his land The figures
are absurdly low at first but by de
grees are raised as high as $50 an acre,
ana 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 90 cents an acre.
The agent promises orally that the
advertising money will not he payable
until the Land is sold but this stipula-
ton is not contained in the contract
that the farmer signs.
In a few days he receives a copy of
an al 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.

ing and lifting. The operator is also
relieved of the necessity of STOPPING 50
low as he does in shovels of the or
binary construction. He Introduces a
supplemental handle, which is secured
to the handle OF the shovel, the oppo-
site end extending forward of the rear
end of the blade, being supported from
the latter by braces. The supplement
tai handle is engaged by the forward
hand of the operator, the latter being
thus greatly relieved of weight. 1t
avoids the twisting strain Of the body
caused by lifting Il heavy load when
the forward hand is placed low down
upon the usual handle. The hand Of
the operator can be readily slid back
aid forth In the various manipulatons
of the scoop, rendering it more con
venient and efficient in use. adapting
it to be used with decreased power and
strain.

The COddling Moth,

About one-tifth of the first laying of
eggs by the coddliIIg moth is on the
fruit, the rest being on the leaves and
branches. The young larva that
matches from the egg is able to feed
on the foliage to some extent and may
come into maturity without entering
the fruit although it rarely does 50.
About so per cent of the first brood
finds its way into the apples at the
calyX. while the rest eat in at other
points, principally at the stem. Only
enters at the calyx, the others eating
in where the apples touch each other
or q leaf at the stem end. The aver
age lie of the adult insect, or moth,
is about four days.

Flowers at Funerals.

A clergyman who conducted the serv-

week caused a mild sensation and. for
the time. made the mourners forget their
loss by speaking of the foolish display
of flowers" He said that the effort to
ape the rich people in this custom was
as reprehensibe as it would be to fol-
low them in dress. Il have come TO be

Cultivation of Corn.

Corn makes a rank growth both above
and below ground, and for that reason
requires treatment somewhat different
from what is given to wheat or oats.
Planting in rows is necessary not only
to permit full development of the stalks,
but also to give plenty of feeding room
to the roots. Corn roots, if they have
a chance, will 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 cora 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
it. If 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
reach into that, and he may be cultt-
waiting but six, eight or ten inches of the
field as soil. If the la1d be heavy and
ploughed 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
and 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, it will be seen. has
no top-root. The first roots start out
from the seed grain and go down

PRESIDENT MET GOVERNORS.
Hold Conference for Three Days at
Washington.

Washington.-The first conference
of the governors of the states of the
American union is ended Like many
of the movements of history, time is
needed to reveal the epoch which the
president and the governors believe
has been made. The accomplishments
OF the conference, which has been in
session at the White House for three
days, can be set forth with mathe-
NAUTICAL precision. That it's immediate
results are more than ample is the
expression of Presidents Roosevelt,
who brought it about, and of the gov
ernors who participated.
The printed records of the confer
ence, which will later be available to
every American home, will be a COM
pilation of facts, startling in their
meaning, convincing in their univer-
sal conclusion, that the states must
act and that the states and the nation
must cooperate to the end that to the
whole people of the nation may accrue
the lasting benefit of its natural re-
sources. Besides the compilation of
facts by the experts and the freely ex-
pressed opinion of the governors, the
conference leaves as its permanent
record thousand words of "declara-
ton Not a declaration of indie
pendence," but declaration of CO
operation"
Perhaps greater in Importance than
ALI else was tha DISCRIMINATION of the
governors of the states to perfect a
permanent organization whereby a
heretofore unknown organization may
be had among the executives of the
sovereign states, made strong by a
common purpose, and made potent by
announcements which may not lightly
be disregarded.
