The home of William Miller, the
founder of Adventism, near Fair Haven,
has been offered for sale and will pass
out of the Miller family. The prophet
proclaimed the second coming of Christ
in 1874 and had large following in
Vermont and New Hampshire. The first

A successful planting Of corn, sat
dsfactory stand of plants, and profit
able yield are largely assured by get.
ting the seeded in perfect condition
for early planting and then waiting to
plant until the soil is warm and
moist.
There are many questions concern
ing implements, methods, distance be-
tween rows, thickness of planting, ETC.,
that should be definitely settled before
planting time. These questions are gov
erned to large degree by local con-
ditions.
A distance of 33 feet between corn
rows is suggested for the majority of
cases. Some two-row planters are
more easily adjusted to three feet four
inches, which is equally satisfactory.
More space is required for tall-grow-
ing than for smaller varieties. 1t is
well to drop somewhat more kernels
than the number of stalks desired. On
good soil this familiar saying may be
proftably followed: "One for the
blackbird one for the crow, one for the
cutworm, and three for to grow" One
secret of good corn crop consists in
having the proper stand of stalks, each
one of which yields we'll. On poor land
and also in very dry sections larger
grain yields can be secured with a thin
stand Of stalks. Under such conditions,
however, some other crop can usually
be grown more proftably than corn,
for corn requires much moisture and
fertility. Where the annual rainfall is
less than 25 inches a thin stand of
stalks is preferable unless moisture
is supplied from some source other
than rain. Where soil moisture is like
Iy to be deficient during the silking pc
Rod stalk for each 20 inches of row
(the rows being 3.3 feet apart) is suffi-
cient and will make possible a yield
of 113 bushels per acre if the stalks

Record Yields.
With an abundance of fertility and
soil moisture throughout the silking pc
riod a stalk for each IL inches of row
will make possible yield of 1873 BUSH
els per acre, the stalks averaging one

pound of grain each. With rich soil
and ample rainfall 1900 or more
stalks to the acre are necessary for OBJ.
tanning record yields.
In planting corn in hills practically
all corn planters drop all the kernels
OF the hill in bunch. Bunch planting
results In unnecessary crowding both
above and below ground, weaken
ing the stalks and reducing the yield.
Xernel-spaced checking combines the
advantages and overcomes the disad-
vantages Of drilling and checking, and
there is need for an implement that
will combine the advantages OF kernel
spacing and hill checking.
Planting by hand has some advan-
tages, but the labor saved by the use
Of planters is so great that for profit
able corn growing their use Is indis-
pensable. Moreover, If the seed is in
proper condition any good planter can
be made to cover corn as satisfactorily
rs 1t can be done with hoe; and
seed ears having kernels of uniform
size be selected and the small and
misshapen kernels at the extremities
of the ears be rejected, good modern
complaining machines can be made
to drop with sufficient accuracy for
practical purposes. However, the yield
depends to such an extent upon the
proper number Of stalks and their even
distribution that too much stress can
hardly be placed upon the necessity
for selecting seed ears having kernels
Of uniform size and plates for the
planter that will drop the right number
1T the required distance. Every spring
the planter should be thoroughly test
