PLAN FOR IMPROVING CORN.

About ten years ago l became
much interested in the improvement
of seed corn and after much cropping
about I finally settled down ON the
following plan:
Start with one we'll established
variety, and in selecting the ears for
seed let one-fourth of them be from
one field and three-fourths from an
other field, in order that there may
be no 'pollen relation" between
them.
To secure perfect polarization it
is best to have this proportion-one
row of the mother plants to three
sides having all the outside rows of
the sire plants. The sire plants are
those not detasseled, and no corn is
saved from them for seed.
While the corn is growing it must
have every possible advantage of
good cultivation, and when the time
comes to detassel (Which should be
just before the pollen ripens) make
the cut with a sharp knife at the
base of the tassel and then cover
the cut with good grating wax, to
prevent evaporation and consequent
shriveling of the grain. When husk-
ing the corn from these detasseled,
or mother" rows, select only the
best for seed.
This crop of seed will furnish the
mother rows for the next season, and
the sire corn must be obtained from
a distance, as in the first year. 1t
would be still better if two such plats
of corn could be grown, as has just
been outlined; then one could be
used for the mother rows the second
year and the other for the sire rows.
This line of mother plants should
be kept up for six years, and the sire
corn selected at a distance each year;
pollen is borne from one field to an
other by winds and sire corn must be
had that has not been fe-tilized by
pollen from your experimental plat.

FERTILIZING TOO MUCH.

Many farmers believe that the con-
slant application of the accumula-
lions of the barnyard makes their
land "too rich" 1t might be made
too rich for a particular crop if high
ly MANFRED, but if the manure is APP
piled where it should be, in a rota-
ton, there is no danger of land ever
getting too rich. 1t might be made
so for an oat crop because it would
but there is the grass land that al,
ways needs just the kind of growth
that is Objectionable in the case of
oats. Put the manure where it be-
longs, and too much of it can not be
used.
While the manure pile Is begin
ming to be appreciated, there are a
great many who do not know it's real
value. They do not appreciate the
fact that if it is put in the right place
it means increased yields, and returns
far exceeding the cost of application.
The reason why it's real value is not
more generally appreciated is be-
cause farmers have for so long time
been accustomed to very rich and
comparatively virgin soil, but there
never was land so rich that it would
not wear out by continuous cropping
without any returns being made to
it. Every comparatively new country
is slow to learn this. The soil of
such regions has the accumulations
farmers had these accumulations,
too, and so did those of the South,
but in both sections commercial fer
tilizers are now being used at a cost
far beyond the conception of the
Western farmer who is still delving
in virgin soil.-Epitomist.

Another woman will testify to
officers coming to her lodging
house and remaining for hours at a
time when they were supposed to
be out on their beats. that the said
officers were on very friendly
terms with the women about the
place, and that these officers are
still on the police force.
1t can be shown that some lodg-
ing houses are running as notorious
houses and are never bothered by
the police, while others. which rent
rooms only, are continually bounded
on the least provocation.
It can be shown that there is a
gross abuse of the privilege of fix
ing bonds by the police, that
through the practice of having de-
PENDANTS forfeit bonds the police
of Spokane virtually become Judge
Jury, court and all.
1t will be shown that defendants
released on bond have been urged
by police officers not to appear
that it is useless to fight the case
etc, and might as we'll let their
bond be forfeited.

day began a struggle to save such
remnants Of the Taft-EIkins rail-

That the bill as finally passed
will be very different from the one
originally planned by the chief ex-
ecutive, is admitted generally today.
Senate regulars have agreed to
abandon entirely provisions and
sections to which the insurgents
object and for which they offered
substitutes and amendments.
When the bill has finally passed
the senate there Is danger that it
will lose still other Of its provisions
In conference, as it now seems very
probable, according to republican
leaders, that the senate bill and
house bill will be very different.
The senate regulars, in order to
avert complete surrender to the in
surgents, had agreed to give up the
section permitting traffic agree
ments, and the section allowing
mergers. The insurgents have
fought both these sections and the
regulars decided to eliminate them
entirely. rather than permit the bill
to be killed or the provisions so
changed that they will incorporate
the ideas of the insurgents. In the

Josef has lately made arrangements
for his demise.
Beneath the Capuchin church, in
this city is an historic vault contain

before he had to join the departed.
Next door to the vault was the

has been acquired by the aged mon
arch and out of it two magnificent
vaults have been constructed. Their
walls are lined with pure white
