GOOD CULTURE OF THE CORN
Cultivate Shallow, Just Deep Enough
to XIII Weeds and Keep Top Soil
Mellow-Holds Moisture.

Cultivate shallow. Just deep enough
to kill the weeds, and keep the top
soil mellow. A mellow top soil will
prevent the evaporation Of moisture.
The cultivators, with short whifile-
trees attached. should be in the field
and ready to use at moments notice.
Then, II shower stops work in the
hay or grain field or while the dew Is
on in the morning, start the cultiva-
tors. II 1t Is only for an hour or two.
The ground should never be allowed
to crust over and no rank weeds al.
lowed to grow and take the strength
out Of the ground. When the corn is
In tassel and caring Is the time when
moisture is most needed. This is the
critical period In the growth Of the
crop. A mellow soil prevents loss Of
moisture and is large factor in q
good yield Of grain.
We plant no pumpkins in our main
fields and cultivate frequently as long
as the horse can get through the rows
without breaking down the stalks. 1t
is the last working and hoeing that
kills the weeds and leaves clean
corn stubble for the fall seeding Of
grain. The cultivator with sharp
teeth, the frame set wide so the entire
ground between the rows can be
stirred at the one working. Is the best
implement to use at the last working
The sulky cultlvator cannot be used
when the stalks are half grown with.

PROBLEM OF BLOWING SOILS

"thus-and.so 1t shall be done" edlct
The treatment that will prove very
satisfactory with the heavy soil Of a
slough may be worse than useless
when applied to high slope in the
same field. This Is a gentle way Of
suggesting the use Of horse sense in
tillage. The end to be attained is
the retention Of water in the soil.
and the character Of the soil must
govern the method adopted. The
heavier soils that have tendency to
lump together will stand frequent
narrowing without arriving at the
dust stage where the cure becomes
worse than the disease.
The light soils can easily be over
worked. and this fact has long been
recognized by farmers who may be
short on scientific theories. but are
long on credit at the bank.
Doubtless crops can be grown on a
less ample water supply than that
Of the middle west. and doubtless also
many tolerably good farmers will go
broke trying to find the exact point
where profit rather than loss occurs.
II the northwestern farmer would
consider as seriously the effect Of a
corn and clover break into his crop
rotation as he must consider the mat

lands where fortune smiles with one

Turkey Breeding.

The turkey crop Matched previous
to June 1 should attain good growth
by the last Of November. the cock
birds reaching ten or twelve pounds.
The turkey Is not fully matured un.
til two years Of age. and is In his
prime at three years. and nearly az
good at four years old. 1t is therefore
a mistake osell of all the older
birds and retain the young ones for
breeding purposes.
Young turkeys are Of delicate ma
ture until they are fully feathered and
have thrown out the red on their
heads, which usually occurs at about
three months Of age. After that they
are hardy, and may be allowed unlim.
tied range at all times.

And ii they are still as hungry as on

They'll not stop at one good serving,
but will pass their plates for more.

When too many call for drumsticks

And before the feast is ended there'l

CONF FERENCE GETS
 PUBLICITY BILL

Washington, August 1.-The campaign publicity bn, with the amendments at taehed 10 1t in the Senate, will be sent to a conference committee of the two frsuses tomorrow. The democrats of the House tonight voted down a proposal to stand by the original house bill and in- structed Chairman Rucker of the elec- tions committee, to take steps to have the bill sent to conference without any final restriction upon the House con- ferees.
 In a caucus full of fervid oratory a proposal to agree to the Senate amend ments at once was also defeated. It was decided to leave the settlemnt of the controversy entirely to the conference committee. It is predicted tonight that the House will agree to bill practically the same as the bill passed by the Sem ate.
 The publicity bill as it passed the House was a straight requirement for publicity Of campaign receipts and dis LHrsements during the fifteen days prior to a general election. The Senate ex- tended its provisions to the primary elec- tions, fixd limit of 5000 for congress sional and $100O0 for a senatorial candi- dates expenses and put in stringent pro- visions requiring publicity of pledges made by the candidates to office seek CTS

GOULD CONFLICT AVERTED
Frank to Have Stronger Repre-
sentation in ST. L. S. r. R.

St Louis. Aug. 15.-Edwin Gould has
averted a conflict i'm the ST. Louis South
western Railway. according to information
from New York and current here. by ac-
ceding to demand from Frank Jay Gould
for a stronger representation in the com
rany. II also was stated that Frank Jay
Gould and r. Lancaster Williams, OF Bal
timore. his banker. will be elected to the
railroads directorate this fall. The uti-
matum was presented TO Edwin by Frank
in Europe
Frank told his brother Edwin that the
Gould family desired 10 avoid trouble in
the 81. Louis Southwestern similar TO that
encountered in the Missouri Pacific. and
he for one, was no longer willing TO trust
TO one-man power.
For months il has been the belief of
financiers that the Illinois Central wanted
to buy the St Louis Southwestern and ne
gotiations had gone so far that Edwin
fixed price. The probable effect of
Franks move will be the prevention OF the
purchase Of the ST. Louis Southwestern by
the Illinois Central
Frank told Edwin. the New York infor-
nation says. that. although the St Louis
Southwestern was the most successfully
managed OF all the Gould lines, he was UNI
willing to repose implicit trust in one-man
power.
Edwin did not Ike the prospect OF wal
I'm the railroad which he governs, and, after
discussing the proposition with Frank. he
concluded II would he advisable 10 acqui-
esce.
stock control OF the Southwestern Is held
by Edwin Gould. the jay Gould estate and
