There are smiles and smiles, but Of
course this meant the smile which
stands for the best things in life, not
che kind that initiates, but the kind

being a good physician, though he may
have been serving as j%anitor. Better
than medicine IS the smile Of friend

cheer and hopefulness is not only the
passport to the hospital, but to all

one remarks; who is beyond the
ministry Of a kindly smile? It is a
tonic to the discouraged. It helps the
little child for whom the world holds

cheers the aged who find life unspeak

Seeding should be done the same

Of in this manner you will find more

the cast. There might be n season
IN five or six that the one who is care

that the man who takes the proper

Ny advice Is, secure the best seed

Prefer the Galesburg baler, using five

BROOM COR n
CULTIVATION
Discussions BY Men Experienced
10 Growing This Valuable crop
BROOM CORN SHEDS PAY FOR
THEMSELVES THE FIRST
SEASON.
3. 8. vandIvsa LInasay. 80.

10y 3. E. V%andiver, Lindsay, okls.)
The most important feature in rails
ing good broom corn is to secure good
seed, which we secure ia this section
from the Illinois %seedsmen, who have
made a speciality Of broom corn. The
seed should be tested before planting
time, by counting out one-hundred
seeds and planting them in some good
warm place, and see how many Of
them win sprout. Ordinarily from
ninety to ninety.five per cent Of the
seed secured from these Illinois
.seedsmen win terminate.
Now as to the preparation Of the
soil ! prefer breaking the land and
planting with a disc ooener to a row
planter. This is the kind we used last
year, and secured very good results
It puts the soil in a good seed bed,
and leaves the plants in a good con.
dition. To work this way Of planting
is excellent for either sod or old land
Listing is a very good way to plant.
but it is more apt to be drowned out
in the spring, and it is more difficult
to obtain a uniform stand after the
lister.
Seventy to eighty seeds to the rod
should be planted on good rich soil
but not so many on land that is in.
erior. Fifty to sixty is plenty on
prairie land.
The first work on broom corn
should be when it is five or six inches
high, and then should be ploughed
about three times, laying it by when
it is about waist high. My experience
is on raising Standard corn.
Cutting the corn should commence
right after the bloom begins to fall,
in order to get the pea green color
and the weight, The brush should be
cut. hauled and seeded the same day,
and not allow it to become bleached
by the sun. We shed all the corn in
this part of the country, as the sheds
and stats will pay for themselves in
one eason in the quality of the brush
Broom corn cared for in this way sold
for $4,000 per ton, while broom corn
handled and cured in the open field
was not worth more than $1,000
Poorly handled broom corn is not de-
sirable at any price where good nice
brush can be obtained.
Good nice ballng and seeding are
essential parts in raising this crop
as they will raise the value from
$1,000 to $4,000 more on the ton.
I have raised broom corn for the
past five years, and have received
from $4,000 to s165.OO per ton, while
average cast off cuttings have been
something like $4,000 per ton. While
we raise Standard corn, yet our pre-
ference is for the Tennessee Ever
green.

Evil Of ldlenesa.

Work develops all the good there is
in a man; idleness all the evil. Work
sharpens all his faculties and makes
him thrifty; idleness makes him lazy
and a spendthrift. Work surrounds
a man with those whose habits are
Industrious and honest; in such so
ciety a weak man develops strength,
and a strong man is made stronger.
%ldleness, on the other hand, is apt to
throw a man into the company of men
whose object in life is usually the
pursuit of unwholesome and demoraliz-
ing diversions.-Darius Ogden Mills.

awful; the child cried continually. We
had to hold him and watch him to
keep him from scratching the sore.
His suffering was dreadful. At last
we remembered Cuticura Remedies.
We got a dollar bottle Of Cuticura Re
solvent, a box of Cuticura Ointment,
and a bar of Cuticura Soap. We gave
the Resolvent as directed, washed the
head with the Cuticura Soap, and APP
piled the Cuticura Ointment. We had
not used half before the child's head

cross very readily. Growers should
by all means never plant broomcorn
