Cost of CuItiVating.

The time of a man and one horse is usually valued at $2OO per day. With one trip through the middle in corn, they can cover about eight acres per day. Therefore, one cultivation will cost about 25 cents per acre, or the two cultivatiOns given by the EXperi. ment Station cost fifty cents. Thus 1t was that fifty cents invested in cul, tivation brought he Mena Sub-station of the Arkansas Experiment Station five bushels of corn. In other words the Experiment Station paid only 10 cents per bushel for the increase in yield
 Light, chaffy corn is caused by drought. The effect of drouth is par tially overcome by cultivation If you are not convinced of this fact try a strip of at least dozen rows in the middle of your field and give this strip the following treatment:
 Cultivate as soon after each rain as the soil is in good working condition.
 Cultivate from two to three inches deep, never deeper.
 In cultivation keep the soil level and free from ridges.
 During dry weather repeat the cul. tivation every eight or 10 days.
 Continue cultivation in this way un. til the ears are well filled and the shucks are about ready to begin to turn brown.

The announcement in THE AMERI-
CAN last week that Ellsworth was
likely to lose the Ault- Williamson
shoe factory has aroused the business
men OF the city to the desirability OF
keeping this industry here. On all
sides are heard expressions Of regret
at the probability of losing the fac
tory, and OF appreciation OF its man
agement. The company Is not yet
prepared to make the announcement
through THE AMERICAN promised
last week, but probably win do 80
next week. We suggest that tine
business men of Ellsworth, and all
people interested in the welfare of
the city, should get together at once
to see what action, If any, can be taken
by Ellsworth to. retain the factory.
No time should be lost. 1t may be
too late to save the factory now; it is
not too late to try.

SEED POTATOES.

Every spring it is very hard to get seed
OF high producing power, due almost en-
tirsly to lack Of proper selection during
the previous year or years. Now is the
time to begin the work OF the selection for
next seasons seed stock. In every piece
OF potatoes there are low and high pro-
ducing hills, with corresponding weak.
deformed, poor-growing vines and
healthy, vigorous, business-type tops. At
this time the majority OF tops are in their
prime, and the desirable plants are easily
distinguished.
Have for your ideal the plant with the
smooth, healthy docking, dark green stalk
and leaves, the kind that really tells you
that it will do the Job OF producing as 1t
should be done. Drive q small stake be-
side these plants In order that the desir.
able bills may be distinguished from the
others at digging time when all tops may
possibly be dead, and then dig these hills
separately.
1t does not always follow that such
plant is the most prolific, yet it is true in
most cases, and the small amount OF time
necessary to work up q high producing
strain is well rewarded when results OBJ
tanned are considered.
Four hundred bushels OF potatoes per
acre is considered good yield, yet this is
obtained in many cases with no special
selection whatever. Why not make the
yield 500 bushels, and then not be salts
fiedf To be sure, the day OF miracles is
past, but the man with q mind made up
for attainment can accomplish anything.
II you, Mr.. Farmer, are not satisfied
with your present yields, lose no time in
getting in touch with your county agent,
for it's part OF his job to help you solve
such problems, and an exchange OF ideas
with him costs you nothing.
SPRAY now.
The continued warm, damp weather OF
the past month has been extremely favor
able for the development OF potato rust or
blight, and already both early and late
types Of the dread disease are ut work
While this trouble cannot be cured il may
be prevented, yet il recent weather condi-
tious continue and no spraying is done
the potato crop will certainly suffer.
Insure the crop from loss by spraying
with bordeaux mixture. Remember the
formula: five pounds of blue vitrol dis
solved in twenty-five gallons Of water;
six-pound lump lime properly slaked and
mixed with twenty-five gallons OF water.
These two solutions are then poured to-
gather and results in the so-cslled Bordeaux
mixture. II bugs are present, add III
pounds Of arsenate of lead corona or three
pounds Of the paste to fifty gallons of this
solution, which should be applied under
good pressure every week or ten days,
depending on the weather; oftener il
damp and warm.

During the coming week, the county
agent plans to visit ali OF the demonstra-
tion plots, beginning in oriand and con-
tinuing on the regular circuit through

making very satisfactory growth, visits TO
the regular demonstrators will be less
frequent from now on. thus allowing time
for special survey work and the promo
ton of 'sbetter farming" campaign, the
details OF which will soon be announced
to the public.

lation by the United States affecting
the shipping interests Of this country,
says: "Of late legislators in the
United States have not, 70 say the
least, been particularly happy in deal
ing with the shipping industry. The

conspicuous example OF an irritating

may be much more serious than most

ready. in fact, no fewer than twenty
one countries have been notified of
the intention to terminate existing
treaties with them that are in con-
hict with the measure, and, 30 far as
American maritime trade is con-
cerned, it is believed that the Stars
and Stripes will disappear from the
Pacific, except along the western sea-
board of the republic, and that Japan
ese steamship lines will, to a very
large extent, monopolize transoceanic
traffic"

Commenting on the increase Of
murders in Maine, Attorney General
Pattangali recently quoted some
startling figures. do you know, -
he said, that we are having, on the
average, one murder a month. In my
term 30 far there have been fourteen
trials for homicide. have been Look
ing over the report of Attorney Gen.
eral Wilson for 1sl3-14. / find that he
reports twenty six cases OF homicide
in those two years; or rather better
than one month. In his report At
torney General Wilson says: During
the two years 1897 and 1895, there
were but four homicide cases tried in
Maine, and the average number of
trials has usually been from three to
i've per year. During the past two
years no less than fifteen trials OF
respondents charged with murder
have been begun, and fifteen other
cases are either pending or have been
disposed of without trial" Here is q
serious situation which demands at
tention. Murders have increased in
frequency out q all proportion to the
growth Of the State. Attorney
General PattangaIl, while not saying
SO in express terms, evidently be-
lievee that the pardoning process is
largely responsible for this increase in
murders, as because Of it punishment
for murder has lost its deterrent eff
feet.
