every careful breeder of corn that
some ears have an unknown quality
that enables these ears to produce
more than other ears Of the same
variety grown unuer the same CON
die ons. The earto-rOw method OF
breeding has shown extremes, rang
ing from 35 bushels per acre tor
the lowest, and IS bushels fOr the
highest when planted on prairie sou
and a minimum OF 90 bushels
with a maximum OF 100 when
under most favorable conditions
possible, OF course, no single ear
yields thIt rate, it being compare
tlVely easy to measure the ground
and compute the rate Ul yield.

It has been proved by the eXper-
lehce OF bOth Experiment stations
and farmers, that corn brought
from a distance requires some little
time to become aCClimated before
1t will Go It's best, SO that it behooves
a purchaser to secure corn from
the same section of his own state,
rather than several hundred miles
away in another state. The claims
OF any seedman that his corn will
make good in any one of four or
five different states must be looked
upon with a good deal of suspicion
for it is directly contrary to the re-
suits obtained generally.
In cultivating a crop, thorough
preparation of the ground is essen
tial Fall or winter breaking is
preferred, 50 the frost can break I'D
the soil particles and make plant
food available Disking and har-
rowing just before planting gives a
better seedbed and serves to hold
moisture. The method OF cultivat-
ing is not so important as that it be
done at the right time. However, |
believe that the cultivation of the
crop after it is planted, is, on the
Whole, the best performed part of
work OF the average farmer.
Good soil, good seed, good cultiva-

the grower, but in the matter of
weather he must take what comes.
just as everybody mast, but even
here some of the bad results of an
unfavorable season may be over
come. A soil rich in humuS retains
more moisture than one deficient
In that respect; well drained land
carries off the water more quickly
and thoroughly than undrained; a
soil mulch Overcomes, in part, the
effect of drOuth, and tested seed
will make better stand so that
even unfavOrable weather is not
so apt to injure the crop where the
other elements of success are in
evidence.

Sweden's Old Industry.

Dairy farming in Sweden has a
history going back almost seven
centuries. At the close of the Six
teenth Century cattle rearing and
the production of butter and cheese
were important and remunerative
branches of industry, yet it may be
said that the last forty years has
shown the greatest progress in this
branch of farming. Milk is used
for human food, for the rearing and
fattening of calves and other young
animals, and for the production of
butter and cheese. 1t is estimated
that each inhabjtant consumes one
quart Of milk day.-Chicago Re,
COrd-Herald.
Among the things dug out of the
ruins of secretary of state office af-

capitol is an ancient seal which
was used by the state before the
present seal was invented. Not

eagle on the front. 1t is a war-like
looking bird and is shown peering

Kerr Quits Westminster.

Fulton, Mo-, March 1. Doctor
David Ramsey Kerr, president of
Westminster College, has rendered
his resignation to the Board of
Trustees, to take effect at the end
of the present school year in june.
The resignation was accepted at
meeting of the board in St. Louis
last Friday.
Doctor Kerr has been offered the
presidency of Whitworth College, at
Tacoma, Wash, at a salary of
$1,000. He also has under consid-
Grafton a return to pastoral work.
Doctor Kerr came to WeStminis-
ter in 1904 and his term exceeds
that of any preceding president, al
though the college is more than
sixty years old.
The Board of Trustees has not
yet named his successor, and if
the matter is deferred until the
June meeting it is very probable the
college will 60 through the next
year without a president. In that
event, Doctor J. J. Rice, at present
vice president, would be the nomi-
nal head of the institution.
Under President Kerr'S regime
the college endowment has been
increased 100000. Washington
Mansion erected and new Westmin-
lister Hall almost completed.
President Kerr has been in col
lege work twenty-one years, the
greater part Of which time he has
been president of Westminster and
Bellevue College of Bellevue, Neb.
February Failures and Liabilities.
There were 1,011 failures reported
to "Bradstreot's" for the month of
February. This is a total almost
identical with that reported a year
ago, when 1909 were reported, and
it is only Fl more than in February
1909, while 279, or 81 per cent less
than in February, 1903. The liabili.
ties, on the other hand, show a
marked decrease, the total for
February this year - ST., 298.7S3
being 81 per cent less than in 1910
and IS per cent less than in 1909
Liabilities are also less than half
those of February, 1908. In Janu-
airy this year the number of failures
was 1873 and the liabilities were
$50, 1886, so that February shows
&c per cent fewer failures, and liza
bilities were go per cent smaller. -
