Growing Corn by Lister.

Last year here in Phillips county with
out irrigation we had good success in
preparing land for corn with common
spike-tooth harrow. The ground was
listed and we managed as follows: In
March the field was double disked by
half-lapping; then before listing II WAS
narrowed once to destroy weeds. On
the Goth day Of May we began to plant
corn with the lister. On June 9Th we
narrowed the corn. weighting the har
row to more successfully destroy the
weeds just starting and to work the
ridge dow better. On June 10th we
narrowed again a. by that time new
weeds had sprouted. On July Let we
narrowed once more and again on the 8
Al the latter date the corn WAS over
foot high and some Of II was broken
down in consequence but plenty was
left. The narrowing was done during
the hottest p.rt 90 the day as the young
corn stalks are then quite tough. On
July 18th the culuvstor was started,
filling the burrows level full. We tried
to cover the suckers but were not very
successful, consequently the corn was
too thick and suffered for want Of moist
ure later on In the season. Part Of the
field was cultivated with q one.horse
cultivstor but w were short on help
and stacked small grain instead Of going
over tho whole corn patch. The field
thus handled contains twenty three n

At best war correspondence life is not a very happy or enviable one; at the worst, it is calculated to drive the sanest man to the verge of in sanity; and the crown of his calam ities is the press censorship.

 The correspondent may have the descriptive genius of a c. w.

But, of course, there is a great deal to be said for the much abused cen sor It is of vital importance that the strategy, intentions and resources of the army he represents should not be published to the world. and thus to the enemy; and it is his duty to see that nothing goes over the wires that could possibly prejudice the success of the campaign. Thus, he must use his pencil pitilessly.

THE FOLLY AND
 AND BARBARiTY OF WAR

1. The Boer war. Military "eX- perts' said England could conquer the Boers with 10000 men, at a cost of s10,0OO,OO0 and only six months of time. It took three years of time. 10000 men and $1,25O,O00, ,OOO. Eng land alone lost 75,000 men, killed and wounded. England refused to arbi trate. although the Boers offered to submit every point in dispute to ar bitration and give England major ity on the board of arbitrators, Note General Botha, is now ruler of all South Africa.
 2. The Balkan war, 1912-1913. Pur- pose, "To drive the unspcakable Turk out of Europe" Results, 100000 of the studiest men of the Balkans killed in battle; many thousand old men, women and children barbar- ously slain, cities burned, country laid waste and thousands reduced to beggary: the cost in money. $1400 : 0000O0 to the allies and S500000,00 more to the Great Powers And the Turk was not driven from EU- rope, It was the breaking of a treaty of peace made with the Turk about 1444 that first let him into Europe Thus it was war that let him in, war has held him there and war has not driven him out.
 3. The most striking example If the folly, the barbarity of war is found in the present state of Europe August 15, 191D. This war is itself
