acts as stimulant or startling shock

Therefore, little nerve in the heart

recently by Psychologists, but, rather
than a nerve, it is a specialized sem

How to Cultivate Corn.

A Nebraska correspondent of the
Farmers Tribune Of Sioux City, sends
that excellent farm journal the fol-
lowing as his views on corn cultiva'
ton, which may be Of interest to
other farmers even II they find his
views differ with their own. This
Nebraska gentleman takes a common
sense view of moisture conditions and
his long experience and success indi-
Gates that he knows what he is talk
ing about:
Now that the corn is practically
all planted l will give you a few hints
on cultivation. We read a great deal
about how to select seed corn and
how to prepare the ground for plant
ing, but nothing how about to culti-
vate. Perhaps thorough cultivation has
more to do with raising a good crop
than any other one thing. In the
first place, the ground should be we'll
prepared and thoroughly disced just
before planting so as to give the corn
a good start ahead of the weeds. In
other words, we should cultivate the
corn before it is planted. Don't
plant corn on the same ground more
than two years in succession: if you
do the corn root worm will surely do
much damage.
In cultivating corn do it in such a
ann as to retain the greatest
amount of moisture possible; then
you will be able to raise a good crop
even if the season should be a dry
one. Make the first cultivation deep:
after that plOw shallow. Always
leave the ground as near level as pos
sible. The more rolling the land the
more important 1t IS to give a level
cultivation. We always have a dry
spell during the growing season, and
hence the Importance of level culti-
walton, especially when you are laying
the crop by. If the ground is level
the water will stay right by the corn.
If you throw the dirt up to the rows
making the soil from four to six
inches higher in the rows than be-
tween them, the rain is almost en-
tirely shut away from the corn. A
small rain cannot soak down to the
roots, and a big rain OF a heavy
shower under such conditions will
gather in the middle of the rows and
run Off the fields, and your corn will
be suffering for lack of moisture al
most as soon as the rain is over. You
who have eve paid any particular
attention to whether your corn was
cultivated level or ridged up, try lev
ell cultivation this year. If by this
method you don't raise enough more
corn to pay ten years subscription to
Farmers Tribune l will pay it for
you. Now this is practical farming
for it is written by a man who has
followed the corn cultivator for more
than 25 years. Cheer up, boys! let

How Is The World to End? Fire,
Ice or Smash?

The terrible catastrophe In Italy
which caused the Inhabitants OF the
Inflated city OF Messina to believe
the end Of the world had come is on
~ 4 f~oretaste On d small scale OF what
many eminent scientists believe vii
be the end Of the world. That etern'
al problem of how the world will END
is, in the opinion of many, a matter
for scientific Investigation, and it Is
curious that the majority believe
that the earth will open up and fly t.
pieces in the most gigantic earth
quake ever known; an earthquake
that will wipe all life from the globe
before the actual destruction of the
earth is complete.
Fl. G. Wells, whose scientific pro-
phecies are we'll known, is. however,
of a different opinion. The world
will end, he declares, by its be coming
entirely frozen over. 1t Is a well
known fact that every year more ice
accumulates around the poles; In short,
many millions Of ions Of ice in excess
Of that of the year previous settle
about the earth's extremities each
year, and in Mr.. Wells opinion this
will gradually extend until the whole
world is frozen owe and every living
thing is thus destroyed.
Several scientists are of the opin-
ion that we sha!! perish By fire and
this old world of ours with us. Niko-
la Tesla, the great American, is con-
vinced that the atmosphere OF the
world being so fully charged with cleo
tricity, the result will be a gigantic
explosion by spontaneous combustion,
when the world will be entirely en-
circled with flame, which In the
space of a few seconds will destroy all
life.
Two of the worlds greatest scien-
fists firmly aver that the end of the
world will be brought about by as
Economical conditions. Take Pro-
fessor Marienberg, the noted Aus
TRAN student. In his opinion the
earth will fly from its orbit and come
in contact with M Of the other
planets that may chance to be in a
direct line. The earth being COM
paratively small, will, of course, get
the worst of it and split into frag-
ments at the collision. But, of course,
directly the world swerved from the
orbit all living things would die, and
such an earthquake take place which
would completely put the Italian
catastrophe in the shade.
Just as interesting is the prognosti-
cation of M. Camille F~lammarion,
one Of the greatest living scientists.
After many years of study he has ar
rived at the conclusion that the
world will in the t%wenty-tifth century
come across the path of comet Bella
which crossed our line a few years
ago. On this occasion, however, a
collision will take place, and Biela
being definitely greater than the
earth, a shock may be expected which
he calculates, will be S65 times great
err than the shock caused by the col
lision between trains, each travelling
at sixty-tve miles an hour.
