methods
The depth of planting the distances be-
tween rows and hills and the depth and ire
ouency of cultivation are all corn problems
that are being solved along dependable sclen-
ti6c lines after century or more OF discus
sion and dispute. Meanwhile the improvement
of corn cultivating and harvesting machinery
has worked wonders In bringing ABOUT the
new era in the corn fields. Mechanical corn
haryesters have developed more slowly than
the machines for wheat and other cereals, at
tennis to solve the problem of mechanically
handling the corn crop dating from 1872,
whereas 1t was not until 1881 that Cyrus NC
Cormick made the first reaping machine
Despite the fact that there was almost con-
tinuous experiment In the sphere OF corn har-
yesting machinery from the date above men

the efforts of the inventors. The principle IN
corn harvesters and binders whichWas destined
to prevail appeared in the year mentioned, the
invention of an Illinois man. In its element
airy form 1t consisted of a corn harvester with
the two dividers passing, one on each side OF

but 1t remarkable with what precision the
machine will right the stalks. Owing to the
great variation in the height of the corn even
in the same field, the binding attachments are
given great range Of operation and In some
machines they are placed as high as 81
inches. The machines weigh from 1 400 to
1900 pounds each and cost, on an average.

day by such corn binder is upward of eight
and the total cost per acre of harvesting the
corn by this method following for cost of MAJ
chine, wages Of driver, outlay for Irvine, etc.
averages about $1.50. Corn shockers cost
about as much as corn binders and weigh ap-
proximately the same These are the ideal
machines for owners Of small farms who do
most of their own work. A man with three
horses and corn shocker can cut about five
acres of corn per day at a total expense of
$106 per acre as against s1.50 per acre with
the machine previously DESCRIBED.
The fundamental features of the corn
shocker are the circular rotating cutters
which cut the corn as the machine advances
and the circular rotating table upon which the
corn Is collected vertically to form shock.

The big problem Of fertilizers Is one which
touches the very heart Of the corn-groWlng
industry and the experts In and out OF the
government service have prepared very ex-
plicit directions for enabling the corn grower
to add to his soil nitrogen or whatever other
ingredients are most needed to produce the
longed-for prize ears of corn. It has been
found upon investigation that many farmers
have had very different ideas as to how corn
should be planted and cultivated but at the
same time it has been discovered that no
hard and fast rules can be laid down as ap-
plicable to the whole country. The corn
grower who is cultivating deep soil In Sec

obviously have to proceed on different the

shaped the original thoughtless SEN
tence into an ugly sting.
These nervous women are the ones
who are continually tormented with
the demon of jealousy. If one OF them
should suddenly meet her husband on
the street walking with another wo-
man, what a curtain lecture he re-
ceives that evening: or if not that, ne
finds his wife wearing the air OF one
who considers herself much abused.
The real facts of the case may be
that her husband met the other wo-
man quite accidently and, as they
were going in the same direction, he
could not avoid walking with her with
out being positively rude. In this age
men must of necessity have business
transactions with women. 1t is a
common occurrence for two men to
lunch together In order to have
| chance to talk over some Important
business matter without fear of inter
ruption. There is no reason why
man and woman might not DO the
same, and yet how impossible 1t would
be to convince the jealous woman that
this was the case. To be jealous Is

The Nfuhtuown of Swiss.

Quite a new and decidedly pretty
innovation OF feminine lingerie Is the
nighegown of sheer dotted Swiss and
fine nainsook combined. Both fab
RIGS are very appropriate for lingerie
purposes and one wonders no one
ever thought Of combining them be-
fore. The dotted Swiss Is used for
the upper or yoke part and the sleeves
while the plain cloth is utilized In
the full skirt. This combination Is
especially pretty in making an empire

Inns might vary this a little by using

to acknowledge the superior charms OF
the other woman. "If cannot hold
you against all women, then do not
want you," is the right thought. Ii
you think some other woman Is at
tracing your husband, wake up and
beat her at her own game. Do-not sit
idly in the corner and complain.
A woman who Is nervous does not
usually realize what is the cause OF
her condition. When excitable and IT.
ritable and suffering from a nervous
headache, she takes various remedies
to deaden the symptoms instead OF
looking the matter squarely In the
face and going after the cause. Many
women need a hobby TO take up their
spare time. If their minds were oc-
cupied and their bodies kept In good
condition by proper care, they would
soon gain control of their nerves.

was being put right NJ. Ivanoff went
for a stroll. He was not more than
a couple of hundred yards away from

attacked him, stabbed him in seven
places, robbed him of all his money

liable scarfpin, and left him for dead.
The two women have been arrested,

still is, of course, the great value OF
