HARROW AFTER PLANTING.

Iowa Authority Has Found II Pays to
Treat Corn Soil That Way.
If one could be sure of having just
the right kind of weather during the
time he Is putting In and taking care
Of his corn crop 1t would not be diff
fcult matter to be scientifically exact
In the methods adopted When our
labor, however. is punctuated by fire.
quent rains many plans are bound To
miscarry. says the Iowa Homestead.
In general way. however, ii is
practicable to do O tremendous amount
Of weed destruction before 1t is time
to use the cultivators. From the
standpoint of sound agricultural prac
tice it is rank heresy to put corn In ii
soil where weeds have already started
If that Is done no amount Of skillfu
labor will ever head them off, particu
larry in the corn hills. We have
preached In season and out of season
about the necessity Of thoroughly disk
Ing or narrowing the soil just before
planting, and we have no hesitation
about repeating that advice.
But that Is not enough. because the
best opportunity under average cir
cumstances that is afforded during the
whole season to destroy weeds is after
the crop is planted and before II
terminates Two or three harrowingS
just as the corn is ready to shool
through the surface soil will often
give the weeds such a check that they
can never compete with the corn. and
because OF this we believe most sin
cerely that one can afford to plant
part of his acreage somewhat late
rather than to miss the opportunity oi
giving proper attention to what is
planted early. While we appreciate as
much as any man the necessity Of get
ting the crop In In good time, yet OF
the other hand few days delay 81
planting does not always mean tba'
the crop Will be that many days lat"
in ripening Bear In mind that th
soil is warming up all the time an"
extra tillage on the surface the NOR,
rapidly liberates fertility. so that thu
crop when 1t is planted comes NOR"
quickly and more strongly

INDUSTRIOUS HEN LAYS EGGS
Fowl Should Not Be Compelled to Re-
main Idle by Being cooped Up
In Filthy Quarters.

The hen is naturally Industrious,
and she should not be compelled to
remain idle by being cooped up In
dark. filthy quarters, where drafts
are prevalent, the floor without some
good litter and surroundings other
wise unhealthy. Rather encourage
her to work by providing her with
good, comfortable quarters.
Construct a good scratch shed, but
If this be impossible then construct
a dropping board under the roosts and
place the litter upon the floor of the
coop. Permit all the light possible.
Scatter the grain food in the litter
and let old biddy scratch for 1t to her
hearts content.
Avoid feeding moldy food and pro-
vide drinking water In plenty. During
the bitter cold weather slightly warm
the water for the convenience OF the
fowls. Remember, the working hen is
the one that will shell out the eggs,
while the idle one will not lay.

Varieties Of Ducks.

Today we have IL acknowledged
varieties of ducks, viz: Pekin, Ayles-
bury, Rouen. Indian Runner. Crested
White, White Muscovy, Colored Mus
covy, Cayuga, White Call, Gray Call
and Black East Indians.
For real practical purposes, only
recommend the first four classes and
in the order that have named them,
the Pekin being the most extensively
bred and probably as good as an all
round market duck as there Is today;
but they are the most timid, and con-
sequently more liable to get panic
stricken when raised In large num-
bers, says a writer in an exchange.
Standard weight of adult brakes.
eight pounds: ducks. seven pounds.
AS to laying qualities the Pekins
are outclassed only by a single breed.
II Is a common thing for Pekin duck
to lay from 100 to 1875 eggs In q single
season.

Scanda|izod Mount AthOS by
Raising a Family.

Saloniki. European Turkey. Eu-
ropes latest and smallest republic has

Mount Atbos. the sacred peninsula
near Saloniki.
1t contains nothing but twenty-one
ancient monasteries founded by Rus
slams. Greeks. Bulgarians and Servians
in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries.
All overhang the cliffs of the Aegean
sea, and the monks go up and down
from the shores in baskets worked on
pulleys by their brethren
So sacred Is the peninsula that no
female is allowed therein, not even "A
cow or hen.
The abbot of the older Russian mon
astery kept cat. which recently dis
graced the island by having kittens
All the monks held court to try her,
declared she had broken their sacred
rules and had her drowned
Some Of the inconsistencies are very
strict and never allow the inmates to
wash even their hands or faces or to
go outside the gardens. which are said
to be very beautiful Others contain
the oldest Greek manuscripts in the
world. supposed to be able to ill gaps
In the Epistles and other parts of the
New Testament.
This idea OF making Mount Athos a
republic came from Russia, anxious to
keep her influence i'm Macedonia. and
is unwelcome to Bulgaria. tired of tn
telage and used to considering the
church as II political factor. now of
less Importance than before. But the
other allies pressed Russias proposal
because they felt jealous Of Bulgarian
domination in that sacred territory.
Delegates from all the allied states
will meet in Saloniki under tho Rus
sian consul and draw up the new re-
public's laws. The patriarch IF the
Bulgarians. who hitherto has IL ed in
CorstantinopIe, probably will Eve on
