Culture OF Corn.

Now a few words In relation to the
profitable production Of corn. Do not
undertake to grow corn on a soil that
is not adapted to It. The land should
be at least moderately dry, early and
warm, says the New England Home
stead. The soil should be In good
condition as to fertility. Corn is a
rank grower and needs a rich soil It
will make good use Of farm manure
either plowed under or well narrowed
in on the surface. II is also best, we
find, to put a little quick.acting fer.
tilizer in the hill or drill when plant.
ing to give the crop an early start.
The land should be we'll prepared pre-
vious to planting and then persistent
cultivation should follow. With these
conditions there should be no diff.
Guilty in growing a large and well.
developed field of corn, suitable to
husk. Cure or put ia the silo for win
ter use, This is in accordance with
our experience and many others.

Corbett was palpably in no condition to put up a hard battle and at no time ap- peared to have a chance. The men fought at catch weights, weighing at 135 pounds at 10 o'clock this morn ing Corbett, however, failed to make that weight and it was an- nounced that he was fully two pounds in excess of requirements.
 Corbett today was a mere impress sion of the once great lightweight, who but a few years ago electrified the sporting world with his wonder full battles. His famous ''haynIaker" was iiI-timed and had no power be- hind it. The contest was a tame af- fair up to the time of the knock out
 In the eighth round Frayne shot out a right and left, catching Cor bett flush on the jaw. The eX-cham- pion was sent to his launches for the count of seven. He was daZed and wobbled about the ring unsteadi-
