Sweet Corn.

There are few better vegetables
grown for home use or for market
than sugar corn. A succession of plant
ings of 1t should be In every farm gar
den. Our personal preference is for
medium sized to large varieties, says
the Weekly Inter-Ocean and Farmer.
For rapid growth and early matur
ity the soil for sweet corn should be
mellow and very rich. 1t is impossible
to get the soil too rich, and the great
er variety OF fertilizers that can be
used the better. To an abundance OF
stable manure should be added a lib
eral amount of poultry dropplngs,
wood ashes and bone meal. Harrow,
disk and cultivate all of the fertiliZ-
ers we'll into the soil so that the soil
and fertilizers will be In even and fine
mixture. After the sweet corn is up.
stable manure may be sprinkled on the
surface between the rows and lightly
cultivated for q surface mulch. In dry
weather this surface manure will act
as a mulch TO hold moisture and In
solved out and carried to the roots of
the growing corn as liquid fertilizer
Make the first planting of sweet
corn in the very warmest Of the gard
en- soil, as the seeds will quickly rot
in cold soil. However, If the first
planting rots. replanting can easily be
done. Begin cultivation just as soon
as the corn appears above the ground
or give 1t narrowing before it is up.
Let the shovels of the cultivator run
deep for the first time until the plants
are about foot high, after which cul-
tivate only two or three inches deep.
Do not be afraid of cultivating too
often, for stirring and mixing the soil
and keeping down weeds are the max
ing of a good crop.

THE TROUBLE IN GREECE.
Failure of Hellenic Cause In Crete Has
Brought About Disturbance.

Failure of Hellenic Cause In Crete Has
Brought About Disturbance.
The cause of the naval revolt in
Greece which led to the fight at his
toric Salamis is to be found probably
in the recent failure of the Greek cause
in Crete when the powers upon Tur-
keys protest removed the Hellenic
flag which had been hoisted in Kanea.
For this failure to secure Crete for
Greece the blame was popularity laid
to governmental inefficiency, and as
result several weeks ago two bat
talions of troops at Athens mutinied.
Retiring to the suburbs, they demand
ed the surrender of the high places
held in the army by Crown Prince Con-
stantine, commander In chief of the
Greek army; Prince Andrew, cap
tain of cavalry. and Prince Christie
pher. subiieutenant in the infantry.
The cause of the malcontents was
espoused by the powerful Military
league, which on Oct. 10 forced the
chamber of deputies to vote a meas
ure abolishing the right of the crown
prince to hold the post of commander
in chief and of the other princes to
hold military commands, King George
earlier in the day having persuaded
his sons, the Princes Constantine,
George, Nicholas and Christopher, to
resign their commissions. Before the
passage of the military bills in the
chamber of deputies thirty royalist
members showed their disapproval by
withdrawing from the chamber. These
loyalists insisted that the Military
league was determined to force the
king to abdicate.
To some observers it seemed that
the crisis had been postponed by the
retirement of the princes. but to all 1t
was evident that it was likely to grow
acute again If the Cretans returned
deputies to the chamber at the next
election.
Meanwhile the Military league, not
| satisfied with the humiliation of the
royal family, issued an ultimatum de-
handing the enactment within twenty
four hours of an ordinance suspending
all promotion for five years, the aboli-
ton of the post of rear admiral. here
| tofore held by Prince George. together
with two vice admiralships and fifteen
positions of lesser rank. The premier
offered compromise in the form Of

Sheep FEEDING Hints.

Up to lambing time, about March 20.
feed breeding ewes on good clean
clover hay, corn fodder and straw
morning and night. At night, before
the hay feed, give four pounds of
mangels and handful of oats to each
eve. After lambing give all the man
gels they viii eat night and morning.
and at night before hay feed. give
each one quart of bran with hand
full of oats and one of linseed meal
mixed in. 1t is best to put the ewes
with twins by themselves and give a
bit more gsain. as they require it.
Keep water by them all the time and
salt. Mix condition powder with the
salt, one-tenth powder and nine-tenths
salt. This is a preventive better than
cure Every pleasant day turn them
out for a run of three or four hours
in the early afternoon.--N New England
