throughout the growing period The
crop natures early, the grain and fod-
der ripening fully 10 to is days earlier
than corn planted the same day on
the same quality Of land and given
exactly the same careful cultivation.
To obtain a profitable yield select
sound grain taken from the middle of
the ear; plant when soil is warm and
mellow. Corn, like wheat and rye.
must have fertilizer having a full
supply of phosphoric acid. The stalk
leaves and grain require considerable
potash. For these reasons an animal
bone phosphate containing eight per
cent of available phosphoric acid, two
per cent of nitrogen and three per
cent. of actual potash should be
bought. fertilizer of this quality ap-
piled at the rate of 800 pounds to the
acre in the corn hills, the ground being
rolled sod, will under careful culture
give profitable yield Of grain. On
the other hand, when a cheap acid
phosphate is used the strength of the
fertilizer is used up in stalk and
leaves. and. unless there is sufficient
Dlant food in the sod to make the
grain, the yield of corn is small. When
raw or long yard manure is spread
broadcast and plowed under, or a
heavy sod plowed down in the spring
1t is most profitable to put the corr
in with 250 to 800 pounds of some
good standard bone phosphate to the
acre, as the manure and sod will no
be available as plant food until rotted
which will not be until midsummer
and not then if the fore part of sam

but little time and no expense and 1t
is the height of folly for a farmer to
plant seed and go to all the expense
necessary to accomplish that work,
without first knowing what kind of
seed he is planting
After the seed corn has been Sc

spections which show that it is per-
feet to the eye, further inspection Is
necessary for terminating quality.
This can be done only by using a
seed tester. Such an implement can

be thoroughly wetted, enough water
being used to cover the sand. Hold
it in this position four or Ave minutes,
then wet a muslin cloth and we are
ready to set in place the kernels to
be tested After the ears have all
been numbered, we may begin with
ear No. l, and remove one kernel
about two inches from the tip, and
another kernel about two inches from
the butt; then by sticking them In
pairs into the sand, we will have
this ear ready for testing. Follow
the same method with the second ear

Last Soldiers to Occupy IT,
There is violent prejudice against
cOlored soldiers down here, and the white
people say that they were glad to have
them go, even though they lose at least
$4,000 a month trade. The same preju-
dice exists at San Antonio. Ell Paso and
other cities where colored troops have
to their boisterous behavior, and resist
ance of attempts to draw the color line.
1 do not know of an instance in which
colored soldiers have invaded a first-class
restaurant or hotel, but they frequently
make themselves offensive in second-class
places. They are particularly hostile to
the Jim crow cars" and they invariably
tear down and throw away signs which
indicate where colored people may go or
sit. Otherwise they conduct themselves
in an orderly manner and in Browns
Vile there was no complaint against their
conduct. except when they showed re-
sentiment against the saloons which boy
cotted them on account of their color.
