The Dying Year.


The birds are flying southwark,
The flowers their leaves have
curled;
The trees have lost their verdure,
The ferns their fronds have furled.
Across the sky's cold grayness
The honking geese appear,
Foretelling by their passage
The dying of the year.
The cOrn-tields rustic sadly
AS winds around them sigh.
Nor lift a blade where lately
Green tasseled heads waved high.
The browsing cattle wander
Idly the pasture oer
To find a spot whose business
Enticed them as Of yore.
Down where a brook ran singing
Along its sprinetime way.
No water lends its sparkle
Upon this autumn day.
It's good-by to the summer
And pleasant summer ways;
It's welcome to the winter
And cheer of winter days

Destiny In Action.

The United States is marching
steadily, though unwilIingly, toward
dominion over the Caribbean Sea
and the Gulf of Mexico such as no
nation has held over similar body
of water since the Mediterranean
was a Roman Lake.
The keys of the Gulf and the
Caribbean are the Isthmus of Pana-
ma and the West Indian Islands.
The Isthmus at least, the most
important portion of the 1sthmus-
is OURS Congress, in a lucid inter-
val for which the country cannot be
too grateful. provided the money
at least to bigin the fortification of
the Big Ditch. To appreciate this
one element in our grip on the
waters of the south. we need only
to imagine fortified Panama canal
in the possession of possible enc
my. Any nation planning war with
US would sacrifice an army corps
and many a battleShip to gain such
an advantage.
And the islands, one by one, are
coming under our sway, or within
the sphere of our influence.
Porto Rico is under our flag. The
American customs officials keep the
only order in that benighted chaos
which is marked on the maps as
Haiti. On the same island, the
border wars between San Domingo
and Haiti have been checked by
the peremptory order of the Ameri-
can State Department. The condi-
ton of Cuba can mean only ulti-
mate annexation to the United
States. Probably we shall have to
take Haiti in hand next. Almost
certainly We shall end by buying
the Dutch and Danish West Indian
islands to keep them from falling
into the hands of European COM
petitors.
1t is our doom, our destiny. Not
wholly a happy one; for we do not
possess either the character or the
political organization to make col
onizing come easily. But little by
little, and of late years much by
much, we have been compelled to
straighten ont the tangleS of the
Caribbean in the only practicable
way.
1t is a tremendous task. not light
ly to be undertaken even by a ma
ton as rich in energy and wealth
as our own. But so far as we have
gone, we have done well. The Pan.
rama Canal speaks for itself; but the
banishing of yellow fever from
Cuba and the ISthmus is a greater
and more splendid feat tnan the
digging of the canal. We have ban
ished likewise the reconcentrado
camp and the military executions

Seed Corn Selection and Storing.

especially advisable to make a care.
full selection of seed corn and to Sc
lect as much of it as possible. There
will be an unusual demand for good
seed next spring, in fact, inquiries
have already been sent in asking
where first class seed can be pur.
chased. Over large area of this
state as well as other states, the
corn crop is short. In these Sec
tons especially there will be great
demand for seed.
There is another reason why it is
more important than usual to Sc
lect seed corn now from the stand
ing stalk A season like the. past
shows US the difference between the
plants that are easily injured by
dry weather and those that can pro-
duce a good ear in spite of the dry
weather. 1t is the plant that yields
well in a bad season that we want
to select from.
|. The surest way of getting the
right kind of seed ear is to 90
through the field of standing corn
where you can see the kind of stalk
and the chances it had as well as
the ear it produced.
The stalks from which seed corn
is selected should neither be very
tall or very short. The medium
sized stalks will produce the most
corn 1t is also best to select ears
where there are two stalks in hill,
or a perfect stand, rather than from
a stalk that stands by itself and
has a chance to draw plant food
from larger area 1t has had
special advantage and ought to pro-
duce larger ear, but when planted
in the field this ear will probably
not produce as much corn as a good
ear grown with two or three stalks
in the hill.
You can 90 through the field with
a sack and select enough of the
right kind of corn from the right
kind of stalks in a day to plant
good many acres. Only ten good
ears are needed to plant an acre. 1t
is always best, however, to select
considerable more than will be
needed to plant the crop, so that
you can pick it over again careful
ly, and Gull out the ears that are
loose" off type" too large, too
small, give poor termination or are
faulty in any other respect.
Professor M. F. Miller of the Agri-
cultural College says, Selecting the
seed is only half the problem. 1t is
equally essential to store it proper
ly." The more important points in
storing seed corn are to put it in
well ventilated rooms where it will
keep dry and be away from the
mice and rats.
In the fall corn has great deal
of water in it. Most of this water
must dry out or the corn will spoil
during the winter. If heavy freeze
comes before the corn is dry it will
not terminate well. When corn S
left on the stalk it seldom dries out
enough so but that it is injured by
the first freezes. 1t is also frequent
ly injured by freezing when it is
piled up or stored in barrels or
sacks.
A good plan for storing seed corn
is to place the ears in rachs which
may be hung up in the granary or
barn, so that mice cannot get it and
so that the air can circulate freely
among the ears. Professor c. B.

that the replies received gave little
information in regard to comparative

those who do protest so largely ignore

THE MONTANA LAND OPENING

New York Evening Post: 'sThe last
big opening Of agricultural land in the
United States" sounds like requiem.
The event is. to take place in Montana
on May of next year. The filings must
be made between September and 20,
and the final drawing will commence
soon thereafter. The figures relating
to the tract call up once more the inn
mensity of our domain. Six new towns
are already planned to be started upon
it. Its total acreage is 1000, 900 Of
which some 100000 acres are allotted to
the Indians who have long called it
home. Of all this stretch of land, vir-
tually none was under cultivation last
year. and only $500 this year. The
possibilities in this direction are indica-
ted by the estimate that 10000, 900
bushels of grain could be added to the
nations production from the settlement
of this region.
