Farm Profits.

The farm of the Jarvis brothers, at
Fly Creek, in Otsego County, has be-
come a subject of controversy. A
correspondent of one of the agricul-
tural papers summed up what the
Jarvis brothers have been doing, and
stated that with an investment of
$4,000, only $4,000 of it in real es-
tate, forty-five head of cattle. $500
worth of farm help a year and insur-
ance and taxes of only $50 year, the
Jarvis brothers make an annual profit
above all expenses of s545O.
Incredible" exclaims a doubter,
who merely forces the correspondent
to proceed to prove his words. The
correspondent adds, truly enough,
that there are other dairymen who,
with modest investments, are doing a
good deal better than the Jarvis
brothers He doesn't need to quote
the classic case of the Rev. Josiah
DIETRICH, who some years ago bought
q fifteen-acEe farm near Philadelphia,
with a mortgage of $1,000, paid off
the mortgage in six years, and made
that piece of ground provide rough
age for thirty head of stock, which
yielded $2400 year for the sale of
milk alone. The DIETRICH COWS gave
but 4S00 pounds of milk on the aver
age year. The Jarvis cows are said
to average 10000 pounds.
Mr.. DIETRICH became so famous that
visitors overran his little plot OF
ground and he had to sell 1t, but
conspicuous success in dairying is not
so rare now as it was then.-Syracuse

Mrs. Roosevelt.

Mrs. Roosevelt wears wonderfully
well. One could not guess from her
appearance that she will next year
be entitled to silver wedding presents
and congratulation. Her eldest son
is to be married on her return to the
States. Her appearance is extremely
agreeable. What is so remarkable
in her face is its exceptional capacity
to show pleasure in lighting up. The
features are of regular proportion
and we'll modelled and bear out her
claim to French ncestry-Huguenot
by the way. The deep commissures
are distinctly French and may be
thought to denote a sense cf the
ridiculous finer than that of the ex-
President. Her comeliness is refined.

On Good Breeding.

A great part of our education is
sympathetic and social. Boys and
girls, said Emerson, who have been
brought up with well-informed and

You cannot have one well-bred
man without a whole society of such.

Grandmother used to say that her
grandmother's Revolutionary expert
ences were not all so sad as this one,
and once she was so thrilled at a
story that she exclaimed:
"Oh, grandmother, wish | could
be in war;"
Then Nancy Butler Brooks, as she
was then named, was very angry.
"You wicked child, hush! You
don't know what you are wishing!"
Anyway, poor grandmother had her
foolish whim gratified, for she lived
through the Civil War, and we have
her portrait, painted after she was
ninety years old. We also have a
manuscript history of the Butler FAM
lily. written by descendant of Nan
cy's, in which the deeds of this rare
girl are told.

PIows the Soil Well.

A firm in Ohio has invented a new
kind of plow that will stir the soil to
a depth of twelve or sixteen inches
without using any more power than
is required to run an ordinary six
teen-inch plow six or seven inches
deep. This firm claims that it has a
principle involved in the construction
Of its "tilling" machine which makes
1t possible to absolutely guarantee
that this can be done. If such is the
case there ought to be a broad outlet
for this implement, because farmers
generally are coming to believe that
1t pays to stir the land to a good
depth, especially in the fall.

Ayyord About Julia Ward Howe.

Julia Ward Howe, author and re-
former, was born May 81, 1919, in a
handsome home in Bowling Green,
New York City. At the time of her
birth that part of the city was the
most desirable residence quarter, be-
ing both aristocratic and fashionable.
Her father, Samuel Ward, was a mer-
chant and banker of New York. Four
OF her ancestors were Governors OF
Rhode Island, two of them being
Wards and two Greens. on both
paternal and maternal sides Mrs.
Howe sprung from fine old blood.

Vanity of Life.

How small a portion of our life 1t
Is that we really enjoy. In youth we
are looking forward to things that are
to come. In old age we are looking
back to things that are gone past
in manhood, although we appear in
deed to be more occupied in things
that are present, even that is too
often absorbed in vague determina-
tions to be vastly happy on some
future day when we have time.-New

A Wife's Qualifications.

There are three things which a
good wife should resemble, and yet
those three things she should not re-
semble. She should be like a town
clock-keep time and regularity. She
should not, however, be like a town
clock-speak so loudly that ali the
town may hear her. She should be
like a snall-prudent and keep with

echo-speak when spoken to. But
she should not be like an echo-de-
termined always to have the last
word.-New York Press.

ON CULTIVATING
The CORN FIELD
DEAN SHEPHERD OF THE A. c.
GIVES SOME VALUABLE POINT.
ERs ON GETTING THE BEST
RESULTS WITH THIS IMPORT
ANT CROP IN NORTH DAKOTA.

Weeds and drought are the two
great enemies of corn" says ]. H.
shepperd, dean of agriculture at the
A. G..
I'm the nrothwest this crop is
grown usually to clean the land
and to put it in good filth for small
grain crops Flax, wheat. and in
fact any of the small grains do un-
usually well after a crop of corn
The second year after corn has been
grown a crop of small grain will show
considerable increase, and the third
year slight one.
More stock feed will grow on an
acre of drilled corn which is planted
very thick in the ordinary 81 foot
row than when it is planted in hills
by the check row SYSTEM 1t is much
more difficult to keep drilled corn
clean than corn which is in hills, but
most OF our people do not even keep
bill corn as clean as it should be
to p rove most profitable. Two-third
of the feeding value Of the corn plant
is in the ear, so that corn planted in
hills should be seeded thin enough
to give the ears chance to develop.
One-fifth more of digestible food ma
terial is contained in the ripe ear
of corn than in the same ear when
it is in the glazing stage. On this
account it is advisable to get the
corn planted in good season and give
it every condition favorable to early
ripening
Use the harrow or weeder on the
land which has been planted to corn,
at regular intervals, once a week or
ten days from the time it is seeded
until it is about five inches high.
Whenever a crust starts to form on
the soil after a rain, the weeder or
harrow should be run over the field.
This work with the machine destroys
the weeds which will sprout as a re-
suit of the rain and prevents a. loss
of moisture by evaporation. Either
Of these effects alone will be worth
the short time necessary to cover the
corn field with the harrow or weeder.
Corn can be narrowed before it
is up and afterward until it is about
five inches high. Narrowing has the
advantage of stirring the soil in the
hill between the stalks and through
out the field SO that the weeds in the
hills are destroyed as we'll as those
between the rows. The man who runs
the cultivator in the corn. field is a
little careful about geeting close to
the hills with the cultivator when the
corn is small for fear of covering it
up, which will make it necessary for
him to stop and uncover the corn.
Corn which is two or three inches
high looks like the harrow is killing

appearance for a day or two, after
the narrowing is done. In the course
of week or ten days, however it
shows an Improvement over the corn
which has not been narrowed and
usually at husking time the difference
is very marked. Many a man is

scared out and gives UP the job when
he sees a number of stalks uprooted
and the bedraggled appearance Of the
field throughout as a result Of his har-
rowing. After he does this once and
notes the appearance at the time that
the corn is in tassel and therefore he
seldom hesitates again to harrow his
corn. Incidentally, might say in pass
ing that potatoes may and should be
handled in exactly the same way in
cultivating with the harrow or weeder
Where wild oats are the weeds
to be contended with, some will spring
up in the hills of corn with the best
cultivation and with the narrowing
which | have described. They are not
numerous but are enough to leave
large amount Of seed for the follow
ing season. These can be pulled rath-
er readily however, and should be re-
moved by hand pulling before they are
far enough advanced to ripen seed
from the sap which remains in the
stem when they are uprooted.
THE corn grower should constantly
bear in mind that while growing his
corn, he is preparing for future wheat
and other small grain crops. That he
- reducing the weeds In MS soil for a
numbero ( years to come. That the
easiest way to destroy a weed is to
coax the seed to sprout and then up-
root it while it is young. Unsprouted
weed seed is there as menace to any
crop which is put into the land. Each
narrowing and cultivation which fol-
lows it tends to warm up the soil, give
the weed seeds an encouraging seed
bed and incidentally uproots and
shakes out the weeds for the sun to
dry that if they have started since
the last cultivation.
With these points in mind and the
further fact that loose covering of
soil will prevent water from evaporat-
ing from the soil, the corn grower can
proceed to do effective work with the
harrow and the cmtivator. Even when
the rain does not fail to destroy the
soil mulch by running it together the
constant rising of water from below
will gradually destroy the mulch with
out the aid of the rain, and the corn
grower should stir the ground bv
cultivation once a week, even if rain
does not fall"
