There is a great difference between a
bome-maker and q home-keeper. There
are women who are good home-makers
and failures as home-keepers. In the
Au,h of excitement incident to forming a
new home, il is pleasant task to ar
range furniture. Everything is new and
the house-keeper has little to DO aside
from suggesting the proper place for each
article: and it is with pride that she
looks upon her home, be it ever 50 humble
This is especially true when an apprecla-
tive husband gives his earnest approval OF
every suggestion, but as the years go on
the wear and tear incident to use Is plainly
TO be seen, and then the battle begins
that di.courages so many house-keepers.
Faded carpets. furnished furniture meet
her eyes. viligence gives place to indif-
ference encouragement takes the place OF
determined effort; the home is neglected
and the home-maker is no longer home
keeper. This is the crucial that tests
woman's fidelity to duty. Many die with
an uncrowned lifo work, but Gods bene-
diction. "She has done what she could"
!, more blessed than the worlds applause
bestowed upon an aimless life.

whose advice it is profitable to follow.
In planting for a good and profitable crop
of corn: First-You must have warm,
porous, we'll drained land. Turn under
deeper than ever before plowed the corn
and cotton stalks. Cut up the trash,weeds
and grass, making a deep fine seed bed.
Second-Plant the best seed corn to be
found in your neighborhood. Third-It
does not matter on what part of the cobb
the grain is grown. Fourth-If the
soil answers we'll to commercial fertilizers,
use 400 to 400 pounds per acre of cotton
seed meal and high grade acid phosphate,
mixed in equal quantities, at planting time,
Work in the same quantity of the same fer
tilizers at the time of timing of corn, the
fertilizer scattered on both sides of the
row. When the corn is about four feet
tall, sow two bushels of peas per acre be-
tween the rows, and cultivate in, and then
use one hundred pounds of nitrate of
soda per acre. Fifth-Harrow the ridge
before and after planting, and use shallow
cultivation every week or ten days,and es-
pecially after each rain, to break the crust
and keep up dust mulch. The main thing
in corn cultivation is to keep down weeds
and grass, and have dust mulch,or
looseners of surface all the time till growth
is done. Sixth-Don't plow deep after
the corn is six inches tall. Plow shall
low every time Cut no roots. Seven
Thin to one stalk in the hill before the
stalk gets eight inches high-the stand
to be two to three feet in the drill. To
leave the stand that thick supposes
good soil, high fertilization and intensive
cultivation. Eight-When the ears begin
to set, cut the tassels out of all weak
stalks, and no ear stalks and nubbin
stalks. This prevents fertilization by
inferior or useless stalks and will increase
the yield much.
