Find Treasure Trove.

A great find of treasure has been
made at Alcazaba, in Spain. Several
centuries ago castle was built to
defend the town against the Moorish
invaders. 1t was built on the top of
a hill and recent earth excavations In
those parts have caused the old castle
TO collapse, and have also destroyed
several neighboring editlces. Last
month the tower fell, some of the fall
ing stones killed two of the occupants
and injured seven others. Thereupon
the authorities decided to demollsh
the castle, and during excavations in
the deep dungeons number Of skele-
tons, evidently prisoners who had died
in Jail, were brought to light. Two
iron chests were also unearthed, and
when opened they were found to be
full of old Spanish and Portuguese
gold and silver coins. At the bottom
OF the chests were a number of gold
and silver bars. The whole is esti-
mated to be worth owed $4,000. Half
of this treasure trove will go TO the
government, and the other half to the
workmen who discovered ii.

Weeds have not been killed in the
dew of their youth by the weeder or
harrow or shallow cultivation. These
weeds become deep rooted. After the
weeds have become deep rooted the
weeder will do them no harm, and the
cultivation must be deep enough to
bury the weeds, no matter. what hap
pens to the corn roots.
In short, the whole idea in cultiva-
ting corn is, first, to prepare seed
bed, firm at the bottom, loose at the
top, and then to maintain that condi-
ton, incidentally killing the weeds. 1t
i. perfect folly for man to allow his
cornfeld to become weedy or cloddy,
If it can possibly be avoided. These
weeds must be kept down and the cul-
tivation must so deep enough to kill
them; but more than that is unneces-
sary, especially after the corn is IS

II anyone will study the root system
Of corn he will see that by the time 1t
is Is inches high the roots fill the en-
tire space between the rows at the
point where they can secure moisture,
not above that point and not to any
great extent below it.
II in the preparation of the seed bed
close capillary connection has not
been made with the subsoil, or rather
the undersoil and soil on top, then we
would say that deep cultivation one
way before the corn is up would be
very desirable, says Wallace's Farmer.
If the pillow goes down deep, even II
the corn row is covered up, cross har-
rowing will prevent it from interior
ing with the upward movement of the
corn; and after that cultivation should
be made with the one definite idea not
of killing weeds but of conserving
mulch of loose dirt.
Under ideal conditions this is all
that is needed; but that dirt mulch
must be maintained. The thing that
lnterferes with it most is the rains
that come so frequently during the
corn cultivating season. The rain
runs the loose surface soil together,
particularly II 1t is deficient in vege-
table matter. A crust is formed which
promotes evaporation OF the water
that may be needed for the corn crop.
and this must be broken up. Deep
cultivation is not necessary to accom-
plish this. Frequently the weeder will
do the business. or the harrow, and
shallow cultivation will always do It,
Sometimes the seed bed has not
been properly prepared, however.

Erin Emmett, who married Vohn Glenn,

London she met young man in the

years afterward his mother came to
her in grief and despair. The young
man had died suddenly, and there was
no portrait. photograph or other like
mes of him to console the family. Jane

flower as great many low growing

In fact, the Ox-Eyed daisy. which IA

When They Go Out to Dine.

Did you ever notice the difference
between mans dinner and wom-
an's?" asked the observer. "A man
takes you out to dinner. He orders
steak or roast beef, spaghetti, pota-
toes in some style, sliced tomatoes and
pie or pudding. A woman gets sweet
breads. artichokes, truflles, mush-
rooms or some other expensive deli
cacy, lettuce or apple salad and the
fanciest kind of ice cream dessert.
A man never thinks of having any
thing but good solid food. while a
woman must have something different,
and il usually takes the form of high
priced, non-nutritious dishes. If they
are out of season, so much the better.
