CORN ~SHRINKAeE.


B. j. G. of Sanborn County, makes
the following Inquiry: What is the
approximate s~hrinkage of a bushel OF
corr from November lst to(December
l5th?"
Reply by Prof. A. N. Hume, Agron-
.omist, State College:
"When the writer was located In
the Agronomy Department of the
University of Illinois, he helped pub
lish Bulletin No. 1l3 Of the Expert
ment Station. AS a part OF the sum-
mary of that Bulletin, he made the
following statement:'1n the trials re-
ported in this Bulletin, the shrinkage
of ear corn in cribs ranged from II
per cent to 20 per cent for the first
year.
1.-THE South Dakota Experiment
Station has not reported on this par
ticular matter, but it seems reason
able that the shrinkage of a corn
throughout most of this state would
not be greater than the least amount
here Indicated, namely IL per cent"
DOES CORN GROWING ENRICH soILp
An inquirer writes the State Col
lege:
II hear so much talk about raising
corn to increase the fertility OF the
soil. Just how does corn make the
soil richer?"
Answer by j. G. Hutton, S. d. Elk
pertinent Station, B~rookings:
1T is a m stake to say that raising
corn will increase the fertility Of the
soil, because growing corn adds abso-
lutely nothing to the soil In the way
of plant food
"The legume crops, like clover,
peas, alfalfa and sweet clover are the
only crops that add any plant food to
the soil and that only when they are
plowed under or when they are fed
and the resulting n plowed
under. These crops can take nitrogen
from the air and fix it SO that other
plants may use it.
Corn does not have the power Of
gathering nitrogen from the air, but
must get it from the soil where the
supply is limited. 1t takes a pound
and a half Of nitrogen to grow g
bushel of corn. one-half pound is ir
the stalks.
1.-THE reason that corn is sometimes
thought to make the soil richer is be
cause the following crop is usually
better than where no cultivated cro1
was grown the year before. This j:
largely due 10 the fact that more watel
Is saved where the soil is cultivated
than where it is not cultivated.

seasons crops may do we'll on any kline

crops following cultivated crops arr
better than those following small
grain crops.
1.-THE larger the crops that are re
moved from the soil, the poorer tn,
soil becomes. so that the growing of
corn crop hastens soil poverty unles.
steps are taken to keep the soil sup

Ryanne was intensely dissatisfied
with himself. For once his desperate

had made LOO many confessions, had

they were moving held him simply be-
cause it was an exploit that enticed
wholly his twisted outlook upon life.
There was a forbidding humor in the
whole affair, too, which he alone saw.
The possible rewards were to him of
secondary consideration. 1t was the
fun of the thing. 1t was the fun of
the thing that had put him squarely
upon the wide, short road to perdi-
ton, which had made him first a
| spendthrift, then thief. The fun Of
the thing; sinister phrase! A thous-
and times had be longed to go back,
for he wasn't all bad; but door after
door had shut behind him; and now
The single purpose was to get to the
end of the road by the shortest route.
He did not deceive himself. His
desperate mood was the result of an

against the weakness of his heart.

He heard Jones stirring in his room
next door. Presently all became still.
| To sleep like that! He shrugged,
threw off his coat, swept the cover
from the stand, found q back of cards,
and played solitaire till the first pallor
] of dawn announced the new day.
Reclining snugly against the para

or cloak, his head pillowed upon his
/ lean arm, motionless with that pre-
tended sleep Of the watcher, Mahomed-
ElGebel kept his vigil. Miles upon
miles he had come, across three bleak
| cold, binding deserts, on camels, IN
trains, on camels again, night and day
day and night, across the soundless
yellow plains. Allah was good to the
true believer. The night was chill
but certain fires warmed his blood. AL
day long he had followed the accursed
! lying giaour, but never once had he
wandered into the native quarters Of
the city. Patience! What was a day
a, week, year? Grains of sand. He
could wait. Inshalla!

CHAPTER VIII.
The PurIoined Gable


George, having made his bargain
with conscience relative to the Yhior-
des rug, slept the sleep of the untrou-
bled of the just, of the man who had
nothing in particular to get up for. In
fact, after having drunk his breakfast
cocoa and eaten his buttered toast, he
evinced his satisfaction by turning his
face away from the attracting morn
ing light and passing off into sleep
again. And thereby hangs this tale.
So much depended upon his getting
his mail as it came in that morning,
that Fate herself must have resisted
sturdily the desire to shake him by
the shoulder Perhaps she would have
done so but for the serenity of his
pose and the infantile smile that lin
gered for a while round his lips. Fate,
as with most of us, has her sentiment
al lapses.
The man next door, having no con-
science to speak of (indeed, he had de-
rallied her while passing his twenti-
eth meridianD was Up betimes. He
had turned in at four; at six he was
strolling about the deserted lounging-
room, watching the entrances. 1t is
nconceivable how easily mail may be
purloined in large hotel. There are
as many ways as points to the wind.
Ryanne chose the simplest He waited
for the mailbag to be emptied upon
the head-porter's counter Nonchal-
antly, but deity, while the porter
looked on, the adventurer ran through
the bulk. He found three letters and
a cable, the latter having been re-
ceived by Georges bankers the day
before and mailed directly to the ho-
tel The porter had no suspicion that
bold theft was being committed un-
der his very eyes. Moreover, circum-
stances prevented his ever learning
of It. Ryanne stuffed the spoils into
a pocket.
IF any one asks for me-" he said,
''say that I shall be at my bankers,
the Anglo-Egyptian bank, at 10 O'Clock.
"Yes, sir" replied the porter, as he
began to sort the rest Of the mail,
not forgetting to peruse the postals.
Ryanna went out into the street,
walking rapidly into town. Mahomed-
El-Gebel shook the folds Of his cloak
and followed The adventurer did not
slacken his gait till he reached Shep-
heard's hotel Upon the steps he
paused. Some English troops were
marching past, on the way to the rail-
way station; the usual number of ma
tives were patrolling the sidewalks,
dangling strings Of imitation scarabs;
a caravan Of pack-camels, laden with
cotton, shuffled by haughtily; a blind
beggar sat on the curb in front,
munching q piece Of sugar cane.
Ryanne, assured that no one he knew
was about, proceeded into the writing
room, wholly deserted at this early
hour
He sat down at a desk and opened
the cable. 1t contained exactly what
he expected. 1t was a call for adj
vice in regard to the rental of Mr.

Be CALLED soon
UNIQUE BRIBERY ACTION DUE
FOR TRIAL IN BURLEIGH
COURT MAY q.

Bismarck, N. D., May 16.-Ben ].
Ness will appear in the district court
of Burleigh county May 2 to answer
the charge OF attempted bribery, these
charges growing out of complaints
made against him by A. G. Divet and
l.. l.. TWichell, members of the house
OF representatives of North Dakota.
Ness is now free under bonds.
The charges against Ness resulted
from one Of the most interesting and
sensational legislative fights in the his
tory Of the state. Ness was arrested
upon the orders of the two house
members who charged hat he had ap-
preached them with an offer Of So
800 for their influence in the fight
against the anti-snuff bill.
On trial before the bar of the house,
Ness was convicted: Names of several
prominent Legislators, drawn into the
inquiry, were cleared by the house and
the senate, both bodies passing resolu-
tons generating their members.
Inc anti-snuff fight was at it's hot
test when the arrest of Ness occurred.
Several visits, Divet and Twichell
charged, were made to them by Ness,
who promised financial remuneration.
In the inquiry the name of Presi-
dent Rice Of the American Tobacco
Co. was brought out, Ness having
claimed to DiVet and Twichell that
he, Rice, had made him a lobbyist for
the company in the contest against
the measure. Lee Petitioners name
was also drawn into the controversy.
The day of Ness arrest the house
of representatives passed the snuff
bill almost unanimously, there being
only a few votes recorded against the
measure.
Ben Ness had been about Bismarck
most Of the session, being a life insur-
ance agent when he became entangled
in the bribery charges. He denies
that he made any offer of money to
the two representatives.
