die.
In blowing the corn, the first two
times the shovel should be set to go
'ather deep and then after that the
ground should not be stirred quite so
deep.
| hear q great deal about the sur
face cultivation of corn I believe
In the surface cultivation In n way,
but do not think that surface cultiva-
ton should be run to the extreme
The corn plant is a heavy feeder and
should have foundation In order for
it to make the very best development.
If the corn land is just scratched
the roots will run out over the surface
and not go very deep, and consequently
not have sufficient foundation to make
the proper development.
My experience has been that until
the plant is getting rather large. at
least the first two plowings should be
rather deep, and even after that, II the
land is stirred frequently before the
little feeding roots have become estab-
lished
l pillow rather deep and then after
the plant gets larger 1t is then time
enough to have the surface Just
scratched, which will keep a soil
mulch and that plant will then make
a good development.
After my corn gets too large to
work with the cultivator | always so
through with a one-borse drag or a
blowing machine to level It down and
to kill the weeds that have sprouted.
BY this way of cultivating am sure
you will have very few weeds to
bother at gathering time, or cutting
time, or when you cut it for silo.
OF course there Is a great difference
of opinion among men in regard to
the best way of cultivating corn. and
In sense there should be different
methods. Some soils will naturally
need deeper cultivation than others.
In all cases, however. thorough TIL
lage is absolutely necessary to secure
the best results. Some will say. as
have often heard the expression: I'll
just plowed my corn twice and
made good corn. and therefore know
that 1t is not necessary to do SO much
cultivating."
This may be true. I have seen
corn made With just two plowings, but
l am confident that the same corn
ould have been better had II been
letter cultivated.

make very good stuff under such con-
ditions; but on soils that must be
worked to have them give forth their
store OF plant food. such cultivation
would avail nothing.
Therefore. 1t is absolutely necessary
to know the character of the soil and
then apply the method which will
yield the largest returns, and this can
only be done when the soil is made a
study.
Many farmers say that 1t does not
pay 10 replant corn because of the
loss OF time. cost of seed, etc. Some
think 1t better TO pillow up the ground
and put in some other crop, but the
experience OF good many go to show
that 1t does pay to replant. Speaking
on this subject, Mr.. r w. Owsley of
Missouri, says: Il regard replanting
Just as essential as any part of the
work essential to raising the crop.
The basis of the crop is the stand, OF
course, and unless this be a full one
no matter how fertile the soil may be
or how pure the seed you cannot OBJ

OF course, replanting is often neces-
sary because OF the poor quality Of
the seed, but this Is not always the
case Wet weather followed by un-
favorable climatic conditions may kill
out large portion Of the stand. and
then 1t seems to me that it is folly not
to replace these killed-out hills with
new seed.

Never was young soldier so

how he was TO dispose OF his lovely
but unlabelled baggage.
Hudson and Shaw had erected

that there had been no opportunity to

And now the passengers had ac-

amusement to any train. a newly we'd
ded pair To explain the mistake
would have been difficult, even among
friends. But among strangers-well.
perhaps a wiser and a colder brain
than Harry Mallory's could have
stood there and delivered a brief ora
ton restoring truth to her pedestal.
But Mallory was in no condition for
such a stole delivery.
He mopped his brow in agony, lost
in a blizzard OF bewilderment. lie

She could not see the leaping flash
of wild hope that lighted up Mallory's
face. She only heard his voice across
her shoulder:
Doctor? Doctor Temple? Is your
husband a reverend doctor?"
"A reverend doctor?" the little old
lady repeated weakly.
"Yes-a-a preacher"
The poor old congregation-weary

that the girl who was weeping in her
arms was weeping from any other
fright than the usual fright OF young
brides. fresh from the preachers ben

other consideration aside, and told
the truth.
But her husbands last behest be-

their precious pretend-secret. She
felt-tust then-that a woman's first
duty is to obey her husband. Besides,
what business was II OF this young

old man paused to stare at the bridal

by his first cigar for thirty years to
look trife tipsy. The motion OF the

suspicion and annihilated Mallory's
