THE KINGFISHER.
A Bird Whose Ways Are Most Difficult
70 Observe

A Bird Whose Ways Are Most Difficult
to Observe.
Perhaps there is nothing in nature
more difficult to observe than the ways
of the kingfisher. Any one may see
him glancing down midstream or MAX
ing his sudden arrow fight from bank
to bank under the bright June sun
shine. but to track him down to his Sc
cret fishing place and watch him at
work is vastly more difficult thing.
You come from the gold clad mead
ows into the shady river path as into
cathedral aisle. The willows crowd
down to the waters edge. In the green
reeds sedge bird is fretting There
is low twittering song of neStlings
all round you. And now. in the sha
diest deep Of the willow wood. a shrill.
piping note cuts the silence, a fash of
emerald passes, kingfsher has gone
by on his way to his favorite pool.
A common notion is that he sits per-
fectly still on some branch overhang
ance. But this is rarely il ever the
case. The truth is. says writer in
the London Chronicle that the king
fisher, like the master he is. sets about
his work with an easy surety. almost
a nonchalance Peering down upon
him warily through the screen of
branches you would judge that the last
thing in the world he was thinking
about was the gliding brown water be-
low him. He twirls round on his
perch. making his vivid green and
turquoise and amber plumage scintil-
late like dewdrop in the one beam of
sunlight that has found him out
He preens his feathers. stretches
lazy wing now and again. looks about
him with casual eve. and then, as
if it were the merest trif1ing detail in
life. he suddenly points his two incl
long fishing spear of bill at the wa
ter beneath him, plunges and is gone.

The corn is of delicious quality--con-

Stowell's Evergreen is the standard
variety both for market and for the
private family. The ears are Of large

vigorous grower, producing one to two
large ears to the stalk. It requires
fully sixty days to mature marketable
ears.
To have succession plant every

corn should be deeply plowed, harrow
ed and rolled until fine and mellow.
Spread well rotted, rich manure in the
furrow, then SOW 400 pounds of a
complete fertilizer to the acre on top
of the mixture; mix the manure and
phosphate with the earth; drop three
grains twenty inches apart in the row.
Hubbard squash or crook neck pump
kins may be planted in every fifth

POSSIBILITIES IN CORN.

With Special Reference to Several Va

1t is not too late to consider sweet
corn, of which there are several varie-
ties. The illustration gives an idea
of the high state of perfection to which
any species of corn, sweet or other
wise. can attain when cultivated with
care. The illustration shows the pos
sibilities of the better brands when
properly planted and grown under good
conditions
A popular standard of sweet corn is
the Early White Cob Cary. The White
Cob has all the good qualities Of its
parent and with the added advantage
of having white cob and pure white
grains. The stalks are of medium
height, stout and stocky, allowing a
close planting. In good land, well fer
tilted, two ears may be grown to the

variety, producing marketable ears
