Improved
Hickory King Corn
My attention was first called to Hickory King

My attention was first called to Hickory King
Corn twelve or fifteen years ago.
1t was claimed to produce more corn, NOT CoBs
AND STALKS. especially on thin land, than any other
variety l had been planting the different varieties
grown in this section. Middle Tennessee and North
of Ohio River Each had its serious defects too much
cob. too long maturing or too chaffy, and each had
too many nubbins, or ears not filled out. did not
like especially the first crop of Hickory King Corn
raised. The ears were most too small. and not
enough stalk
The next year crossed it with Huffman, giving
it stalk and longer ears, and still retaining the
large deep grains with slightly larger cob. Since
then have not planted any other corn on the farm.
and have done all could to prevent its mixing with
my neighbours corn many of whom plant this
variety.
In test made at the Iowa Experimental College
some years ago this corn sheed out most pounds of
corn per bushel out of thirty varieties On account
of the small cob this did not in the shock
in the fall of 1906 during the wet harvest so there
was no trouble about the seed for the 1907 crop.
while with almost all other varieties the case was
lust reversed had no trouble getting stand of 81
per centNwithout testing seed. Samples of several
varieties g corn were sent to the Agricultural De-
partment to be tested. The report showed Hickory
King to be one of the most satisfactory they had
tested

Hickory King is said to have originated in Vir-
gnia At any rate it is extensively grown in certain
counties of that State, and its use is rapidly spread
ing throughout Tennessee The ears are small and
very thoroughly protected by husks and more than
one ear is frequently produced on the stalk. The
grains are 80 large and fiat that when they
are likely to be remembered No other variety grown
at this Station equals this in the big percentage
Of sheed corn-70 pounds Of ear corn as grown I'M
der average field conditions running with 81 to 63
pounds Of sheed corn. None OF the other varieties
surpass it in soundness and other has proven its
equal as grain producer on either poor or medium
upland. and its capacity to give high Yields ON
rich land has been demonstrated more than once.

80 bushels of sheed corn to the The chief OBJ
econs urged against it are the hardness of grain and
the difficulty with which it is husked. Selection and
breeding may these defects as we'll as in

Certainty Of Tariff Revision.

One thing that the special
session of Congress has made
evident, as the debate on reel
procity has dragged along to
empty seats, is the hopeless
ness of resisting much ionge.
the effort to revise the tariff
sche dule and materially lowe.
the rates. The most significant
"sign of the times" that has
come out of Washington in
many dayis the admission by
Senator Penrose, of Pennsyi
vania, that the time has come
for the protectionists to make
a serious change of front or
tariff matters. He advocat tex.
another general tariff revision
at the next session Of Congress
and the question was consider
ed carefully whether the repuk-
lican "standpatters" should not
draft their bill during the pres.
ent session, even before the
tariff commission could make
it's report. The whole tariff
wall, in other words, is begin
ming to crumble. The days of
prohibitive tariff are about
numbered. One after another
the citadels of the high tariff
advocates have been taken, and
Senator Penrose's admission is
equivalent to running up the
white flag of surrender. The
first terrifying development
was the deaertion of the Ma.
tional Manufacturers Associa
ton. The next was the session
made in the platform of the
last national republican con
vention, in it's declaration for a
protective tariff limited to the
difference in the cost of produc
ton here and abroad, plus a
fair profit. The third develop.
ment has been the reciprocity
fight made by a Republican
President and a Democratic
House of Representatives, with
the inevitable effect it must
have upon the farmers. The
nation is evidently getting
ready to write an entirely new
volume in the history of the
tariff, of which the Canadian
reciprocity agreement will form
but the opening chapter.-Cur.

70 TAKE PLANT IMPRESSIONS
Two Methods That Result In Picture,
Which cIosely Resemble Good
Steel Engravlnes.

Here is way to take impressions
Of plants which will resemble steel en-.
cravings. Two of them, in fact; take
your choice.
The first method is to take half
sheet Of fne woven paper and cover
Its surface with sweet oil; let 1t stand
q moment or two, rub of the SUPER
fuous oil and hang 1t in the air. When
It is fairly dry, move 1t slowly over
the flame Of a candle, lamp or gas
burner (caution) until 1t is quite
black, lay the plant or leaf on 1t,
place clean piece of paper on top
and rub equally with the fingers for
about half q minute; then take up the
plant and place 1t on the paper on
which It is desired to leave an impress
sion. Cover 1t with piece of blot
ting paper and rub as before. The
engraving-like impression will then
appear.
By the second method, burn com.
mon cork until 1t Is reduced to q
powder. add q teaspoonful of olive oil
and mix into thick paste. Next
paint the under side Of the leaf with
q camel's hair brush, lay the leaf care
fully. painted side down. upon a piece
Of clean paper. press 1t In book un-
der strong and even weight for
about quarter Of an honr and remove
the leaf carefully from the paper. A.

A Warning to Privilege

Governor Woodrow Wilson,
in the Worlds Work: "* y
1t is time that we served notice
on the men who have grown up
in the possession of privileges
and bountiee, that the existing
order of things is to be chang

them, for they should have
time to adjust themselves to
the change; but the change
must come, nevertheless. And
this change is not a revolution,

is merely a restoration. y u
That is what the people of New
Jersey have meant as they have

AT the March primary the
voter will have opportunity to
express his preference for cam
didates for president and vice
president and to vote for dele
gates to the national conven.
ton, presidential electors and
to nominate a national con-.
mitteeman for their respective
parties.
This is splendid law, altho
we can not understand why the
two primaries should not be
held at the same time and
place, for it gives to the people
the right and really forces them
to make choice of the leaders of
their party during the cam
paign of that year, so far az ma
tional matters are concerned.
The result of this enactment
is already to be seen and there
are many candidates for presi
dental honors who are looking
to the North Dakota primaries
as the first indication Of subse-
quent convention results, as
they are the first primaries to
be held for the purpose of sc.
lecting delegates to the nation
al conventions.
Within the state there are
many aspirants for national
committeeman and delegates to
the national convention, parti
cularly for the former. The
position is an important one &c

course have secured a measure
of success. 1t would be the
poorest kind of policy, at this
time, when there are such ex
cellent prospects for e]ecting a
president and securing control
OF congress. to split up into
factions or encourage any little
feeling which may exist by pre-
cipitating unnecessary strife.
Great care should be exercised
by the rank and file of the
democratic voters of the state
to see that local strifes are not
brought in and man should
be selected for the position who
is as nearly free from preju
dices as possible. He should
be one who regarded the princi-
Piles advocated by his party,
and consequently party inter-
est, of the greatest importance

Cravats are also being exploited
by the leading furTiers and they well
deserve to be for if made of a peit

beaver or the finer kind of Russian
pony. and faced with the thinnest

than cravat of ordinary silk, yet
provide the warmth which only an

These cravats are a really valuable
accessory for their sharply pointed

seems to justify their claim to the DIS

three theaues-the Majestic, Chicago
opera house and Olympic, have run
continuously without a break to the
largest business they ever enjoyed,
and have commenced the new season
with new plays and sterling attrac-
tons which the critics have unant-
mously commended. This is proud
record for a theatrical interest that
was founded in the humblest condt-
lions years ago, and has since grown
steadily. Excepting only the loss OF
Charles z. Kohl, who died almost
year ago, there has been no change
in the MANAGEMENT or ownership OF
these properties for many years. Mr..
Glover sttod next to Mr.. Kohl in the

executive management when Mr.. Kohl
died, thus continuing without inter
