| being approached by common human
| ity. This morbid aloofness extended
| even to his young wife. They occu-
pied remotely apart wings of the large
palace. Yet Serge was not without
curious interest in the simple world
His great hobby was to discover how
hens could be made to lay the max
imum of eggs all the year round. He
knew that his country lay ice-bound
for many dreary months Of the year
and that ordinary agriculture had very
close limits. Why should not the poor
peasant live on eggs? He experimint-
ed in the inner yards of the Kremlin
with the dieting and doctoring of
fowls, and had elaborate reports writ
ten for him by experts in all parts of
Russia There is nothing in the world
like the library of reports that he col
lected on this problem of hens and
eggs The one flaw in his reasoning
was that the cost worked out at just
about literally a barn fowls egg for
golden egg. And so the peasant did
not benefit from the Grand Duke
Serge's studies,
All this time Moscow was under
few men of tougher fibre, and chiefly
under Trepoff, then tall, handsome
young guardsman. Trepoff's father
was Chief of Cars palace police, and
he did literally sleep on mat outside
his masters bedroom door. To Serge
this habit was the highest evidence
of craftsmanship. He believed right
~ in the Trepoff physical courage,
and he made the son the real govern
or of Moscow under the style of police
president. Most of Trepoffs ideas
we're of the elementary order, and
the first of them was kill discomfort
by amusement" But he could apply
his Napoleonic maxim outside the
Kremlin for the police regime made 1t
a dangerous experiment to rub shout
ders very often with strangers. Inside
the Kremlin the policy was developed
into fine art.
No stage spectacle that the cars
theaters have ever mounted could
equal for brilliant abandon and daring
contrasts of color and style the Grand
Ducal balls, in the Kremlin until the
black days approached. The Grand
Duke Serge himself attended some of
them. staring detachedly aloof at the
scene, unmoved by laughter or music.
These were the only nights when any
considerable number could see him,
and the tall, spare frame with the thin,
nervous long face had all the stamp
of a tragic Don Quixote. With the
beautiful Grand Duchess Elisabeth it
was absolutely otherwise. She re-
sponded with delight to the gay viva
city which thrilled so dangerously
when the Kremlin set out to amuse

apart IN the row Where such thin
planting is necessary, it is generally
preferable to plant soy beans, pea
nuts, or some other crop between the
corn rows
The cultivation of the corn crop
should always be level and shallow, ex.
cept in low, undrained lands, where
it may be necessary to plant in ridges
and to keep the middle clear to assist
in drainage. The first cultivation
should be made before the corn comes
out OF the ground, and the best i'm,
plement to'lse is the harrow to mere
ly break the crust and allow the corn
to come up easily and uniformly Then
follow with harrow or weeder, going
both ways and after the corn gets
six or eight inches tall, the two-horse
cultivator, which enables the operator
to cultivate both sides of a row at
once, is the best implement to use.
1t is always much easier and more
satisfactory to prevent the growth OF
weeds or destroy them soon after the
seeds terminate than it is to attempt
their destruction after they have at
tanned firm, fast hold. The sectional
steel harrow, or the weeder, on light
lands full of humus and so on are the
implements to use in cultivation.
, The later cultivation after the corn
gets tall is the small-tooth, one-horse
cultivator. Worked in this way the
roots are unframed and the moisture
is kept right where they seek it.
Many carefully made experiments
have shown that the stalks, leaves
and shucks of corn have a feeding
value equal to the grain. OF course,
if we let the stalks stand in the field
until the grain is fully matured the

Gently come to Russia, of Nicholass
luncle, the Grand Duke Serge.
The Grand Duchess, following the
tradition of so many grand danes in
Russian history, had become, in the
country of her adoption, more Russian
than the Russians. Slender, tall, al
ways with that Glance gait which
makes her move youthfully even now,
when she is bordering on fifty, she has
never looked a Slav. Her marriage
was not made in heaven but at Wind

her kinsfolk, And it was no Cupid but
Her Late Majesty, Queen Victoria,
who presided. One of the four orphan

most serious-minded of the Russian
Grand Dukes of his day, Serge Alex

asnated car, liberator and brother of
the then reigning car.
All the strange story of her mar
ried life centers in Moscow, even in
that citadel within the city, the Krem.
lin of Mosco. Her young husband, as
1t very soon was clear, was not gov
erned so much by any serious mind
behind his austere looks as by queer
mood of mysticism, fanaticism and a
kind of misantnropy. His brother had
given him the high Office of Govern
or-General of Moscow. AS the Mos
Cow population found that they saw
less and less of him as the years
passed on, they framed their own
version of his life, and it was not a
normal or "a edifying story.
In those days of the eighties the
administration of Moscow, as much as
any other single cause, nourished
the spirit of revolt Serge Stunned

lives and movements of the Moscow
citizens was absolute, but all this con-

is because of the vacant hills and bar
rem stalks attributable to poorly Sc
lected seed
The method of planting must be
adapted to the section and nature Of
the land. Where the soil is high and
dry soil, or where very dry weather
is likely to prevail during the grow
ing season, planting corn in the water
furrow is probably best. The soil
can be gradually worked to the corn.
Where the land is well drained, it is
generally best to plant the corn on a
level so that fiat, shallow cultivation
may be practiced to the best ad-
vantage. On wet lands. it is usually
best to plant on beds and give the
corn ridge cultivation.
The result of the experiment sta
tons seem to indicate that it makes
no particular difference in yield
whether the corn is planted in hills
or in drills.
The distance apart in rows and
drills must be settled for each To-
cality and each particular soil. The
amount Of moisture and fertility OF
the soil must be considered in de-
Gliding the distance in the drill. Where
the soil is light and dry, weather u.s.
lally dry during the growing season,
pest results are generally obtained by
having the rows four or i've feet
apart, with one stalk every three feet

INVESTIGATION ON
SOUTHERN FARMS
Corn Crop Peculiarly Adapted to
Soils in the South.
IMPORTANT CROP IN SOUTH
No Such Risks From Frosts as Menace
Farmers of So-caIied Corn Belt
Only Necessary to PuIVerize
Soil 70 Absorb Moisture.
(By C. H. ALFoRD3

The long seasons of the south make
1t peculiarly adapted to the cultiva-
ton of the corn crop, since there is
never any risks from early frosts
catching corn as there is in a large
part of what is now termed the corn
belt The rainfall is sufficient to pro-
duce maximum crops and it is only
necessary to pulverize the soil and
fill it full of vegetable matter and
plant food for from to 10 inches
deep so that it will absorb the rain
and conserve the soil water by fire.
quent and shallow cultivation
Fertile soil and good seed are es-
sential to success in corn growing,
but without thorough preparation of
the soil before the seed is planted we
have no right to expect a good crop
of corn. If we will only give our lands
the preparation that the farmers in
the central west give their lands we
can, by reason of climatic conditions
and natural fitness for the crop, easily
beat them in production, and the doing
of this is not question of mere appli-
cation of so much fertilizer per acre,
The results OF the experiment sta
tions seem to indicate that at the usual
price of corn and commercial fertil-
izers, the profitable production of corn
upon commercial fertilizers is almost
hopeless undertaking, unless the corn
crop is grown in a systematic rotation
with nitrogen7gathering crops. The
Georgia station says That at pres
ent prices of commercial fertilizers
they cannot be used with profit" The
Ohio station states: I'm no case has
the increase in the crop been sufficient
to pay cost of fertilizers. The Viz
ginia station says: I'm no instance
did the nitrogen application give
gain equal toeits cost"

The variety should be adapted to
the conditions Of the soil and climate
in which it is grown. There is no crop
grown that is so much influenced by |
being transferred from north to

is to be grown. Therefore. we should |
avoid sending north or south of our |

the start the best corn attainable that |

after year, bred up.
The average corn grower plows,
plants and cultivates one-fourth to
one-third of his corn acreage without
receiving anything for his labor. This

Process of impeachment

In England it was the old practice
to impeach for conduct out of Office.
Private citizens could be impeached
DR.. Sachevereli was impeached for
preaching an unpopular sermon, the
Duke of Richmond for proposing an
adjournment of the House of Lords
and lingo Jones for tearing down a
church. But in America Impeachment
has been restricted to men in office for
conduct in office.

slower will be of very little value. But
if the corn is cut while the fodder is
still green 'and untouched by frost,
that is, as soon as the ears are well
glazed, and is cured in the shocks, the
fodder is of far, more value for feeding.
= The most important and valuable
invention in the connection with the
corn. crop in recent years has been
the invention, Of the silo, into which
the green corn is cut, preserved in a.
succulent state for winter feeding and
for tiding over drought in the SUM
mer when the grasses fail in the pas
lures. The silo is indispensable to
the breeder of either beef or dairy
cattle.
More corn brings into use the pas
lures and idle lands of the farms. II
is a basis for the cheaper food supply
for the masses. Therefore, the pro
duction of an abundant supply of corn
is one of the essentials of good farm
ing. The south will be prosperous
when the necessary corn is grown
within her borders
Where 1t Is common only to gather
the grain and then turn the cattle into
the field to CLEAN the fodder, that,
standing in the frost had become prac.
tically worthless, the cattle ranging
over the soft and wet ground, puddle
the soil and do serious injury to it in
the future cultivation. Then. too the !
land is left bare all winter and loses
fertility in winter rains, when it |
should have the green cover crops on
it at all times.
Modern machinery has greatly |
lessened the labor of cutting and
shocking the corn. We now have ma.
chimes to cut and bind the corn, and |
we have the huskers and shredders |
that separate the corn from the slower |
and tear up the whole stalks and
leaves into such shape that not only
is far larger portion eaten, but the |
waste part is in such a shape that 1t !
makes valuable bedding.
