IISTIAl ATINlx CORN IN A Crib

(FrOm Modern Farming.)
ESTIMATING CORN IN A CRIB.
To find the number of bushels OF
alnshucked corn in crib multiply
the length of the crib by the width
and then by the height, and divide
the product by 5000. The quotent
will represent the bushels Of I'M
shucked corn. (l4xWNH Of crib di-
vided by 5000 is bushels of unshuck-
ed corn.)
To lind the number of bushels
when the corn is shucked but not
shelled, multiply the length Of the
crib by the height, and divide the
product by 1900. (LxWxH OF crib
divided by 1890 is bushels shucked
corn).
To find the number of bushels
when the corn is shelied, multiply
then length of the crib by the width
and by the height, and divide the
product by 1850. OLxWNH of crib
divided by $3.50 in bushels shelled
corn.)
In each rule the dimensions of the
crib for height, width and length
must be in inches and not in feet or
feet and inches.

WEIGHT OF CORN.

What is the average weight of an
ear of corn as commonly grown in
southern Louisiana, both in the slip
shuck and when shucked?
Answer-The average weight of a
bushel OF corn when slip shucked is
approximately eight pounds; it the
shucks are not removed at all this
weight can easily go to ninety pounds
sometimes even more. A bushel of
corn in ear with shucks entirely re-
moved usually will weigh from sew
enty to seventy-five pounds, depend
ing on the moisture content.

sMALL POrATOES FOR SEED.

SMALL POTATOES FOR SEED.
This is season of small potatoes,
and the question is already being
asked, ii these small potatoes are
suitable for next seasons seed. The
real objection of the use Of the small
seed is not the size Of the tuber, but
the continuous selection OF small
tubers, which means that in few
seasons the small tubes thus select
ed will come largely from hills pro-
ducing small tubers and SO greatly
reducing the yield. II your crop
consists largely of small tubers this
season have no fear in using them
for seed. But do not make 1t prac-
tice to selec tsmall potatoes one year
another. .a.tdA
SPACING, OF CORN IN ROW.
What has your experience been in
determining the best distance to
leave corn in drill, planted in six
foot rows. The land l am to put
corn in next season Tin the sugar
belt) is first class, and l am going
to get it in splendid physical con-
dition before planting. 1t is land
that has not had cane in it for sew
eral years, and will not be fertilized.
Would one-foot distance between
the stalks be too close?
Answer-The distance to leave the
corn in drill in six-foot rows varies
with the kind Of land. Cane is usu-
ally very hard on the land, and corn,
as a rule. does not do very much
when directly preceded by that crop.
1 would suggest that you leave the
stalks from twelve to sixteen inches,
using your .ow njudgment as to the
strength Of your land. OF course.
if you were fertilizing ten inches
might be sufficient.

The Heptadenn

It was not characteristic Of Brouil-
lard-the Brouillard Grislow knew
best-that he should suffer the purely
technical talk of dams and reservoirs,
bedrock anchorages, and the latest
word in concrete structural processes
to Ianguish and should drift into per-
sonal "reminiscences over their first
evening campfire in the Niauoia.
"As you were saying?" Grislow
prompted, stretching himself luxuri-
ously upon the fragrant banking Of
freshly clipped spruce tips, with his
feet to the blaze and his hands locked
under his head He felt that Brouil-
lard was merely responding to the
subtle influences of time, place and
encompassments and took no shame
for being an analytical rather than a
sympathetic listener. The hundred-odd
men of the pioneer party, relaxing
after the day-long march over the
mountains, were smoking, EARNING, or
playing cards around the dozen or
more campfires. The evening, with
half-grown moon silvering the inverted
bowl of armament which seemed to
shut down, lidlike, upon the mountain
rim of the high-walled valley, was
witchingly enchanting.

UNITY OF NATION PROVED
Great Southerner Long Ago Pointed
Out How Complete Has Been
Its Restoration.

From an address delivered by Henry
Watterson at the National cemetery,
Nashville. Tenn, Decoration day. 1877.
We are assembled, my countrymen,
to commemorate the patriotism and
valor of the brave men who died to
save the Union. The season brings its
tribute to the scene; pays its homage
to the dead; inspires the living. There
are images of tranquility all about
us; in the calm sunshine upon the
ridges; in the tender shadows that
creep along the streams; in the wav-
ing grass and grain that mark Gods
love and bounty; in the flowers that
bloom over the many graves. There
is peace everywhere in this land to-
day.
Peace on the open seas,
In all our sheltered bays and ample
streams,
Peace where'er our starry banner CLEANS,
And peace in every breeze.
The war is over. 1t is for US to
bury its passions with its dead; to
bury them beneath monument raised
by the American people to American
manhood and the American system,
in order that "the nation shall, under
God, have new birth of freedom and
that government of the people, by the
people, and for the people shall not
perish from the earth"
The Union is, indeed, restored when
the hands that pulled down that flag
come willingly and lovingly to put it
up again. 1 come with a full heart
and steady hand to salute the flag
that floats above me-my flag and
your fag-the flag of the free hearts

banner of our fathers-the flag that.

men, has never been obscured, des-
tined by the God of the universe to
watt on its ample folds the eternal
song of freedom to all mankind, en-
blem of the power on earth which is
destined to exceed that on which it
was said that the sun never went

g CHAPTER II
J. Wesley Croesus

Brouillard was not what the West
calls "jumpy." Four years Of field
work, government or other, count for
something; and the man who has
proved powder-shy in any stage of his
| grapple with the Land of Short Notice
is customarily dead man.
In spite of his training, however, the
young chief of construction, making an
early morning exploration of the site
for the new dam, WINGED handsomely
when the shock of distance-mufded
| explosion trembled upon the crisp
| morning air, coming, as it seemed,
from some point near the lower end
of the canyon.
The decorating crash reminded him
forcibly that the presence of the tour
ing party was asserting itself. The ex-
plosion was too heavy to figure as a
gunshot. Therefore it must have been
an accident of some sort-possibly the
blowing up of the automobile.
Between this and hurried weight
ing of the sheaf of blueprints with his
fieldglass preparatory to a first-aid
dash down the outlet gorge, there was
no appreciable interval But when he
came to his outlook hating place of
the night before, he saw that there had
been no accident. The big touring car,
yellow with the dust of the Buckskin,
stood intact on the sand fiat where
it had been backed and turned and
headed toward the desert. Wading in
the shadows of the river with a linen
dust robe for seine, the two younger
men of the party were gathering the
choicest of the dead mountain trout
with which the eddy was thickly dot
ted.
Coming toward him on the upward
trail, and climbing laboriously to gain
the easier path among the pines, were
the two remaining members Of the
party-an elderly, pudgy, stockily built
man with a gray face, stiff gray mus
taches and sandy-gray eyes to match,
and the young woman, booted, gaunt-
leted, yelled, and bulked into shape
lessness by her touring coat. Brouil-
lard had sudden rush of blood to the |
anger cells when he realized that the |
alarm which had brought him two |
hard-breathing miles out of his way |
had been the discharge of suck of |
dynamite thrown into the Niquoia for |
the fish-killing purpose. In his code |
the dynamiting of stream figured as
= high crime. But the two on the trail
had come up, and his protest was fore
stalled by the elderly man with the
gray face and the sandy-gray eyes,
whose explosive Hal" was as much a I
Measure of his breathlessness as of I

upon the desert swales and sandhills.
At the canyon portal, where the forest
thinned away and left him standing
at the head Of the final descending
plunge in the trail, he found himself
looking down upon the explanation Of
the curious apparition.
None the less, what he saw was in
itself rather inexplicable. In the first
desert looping of the river campfire
of pinyon knots was blazing cheerfully,
and beside it, with picnic hamper for
table, sat supper party of three
two men and woman-in enveloping
dust-coats, and third man in chauf-
feur leather serving the sitters. Back
of the group, and with it's detachable
searchlight missing, stood huge tour
ing car to account for the picnic ham,
per, the dust-coats, the man in leather,
and, doubtless, for the apparitional eye
which had appeared and disappeared
at the mouth of the upper gorge. Also
it accounted, in purely physical
sense, for the presence of the picnick-
ers, though the within which had led
them to cross the desolate Buckskin
desert for the dubious pleasure of max
ing an all-night bivouac on its eastern
edge was not SO readily apparent.
The young engineer saw no reason
why he should intrude upon the group
at the cheerful campfire. On the con-
trary, he began speedily to find good
and sufficient reasons why he should
not. That the real restraining motive
was a sudden attack of desert shyness
he would not have admitted. But the
fact remained. Four years in the rec
lamation service had made the good
looking young chief of construction
man-queller of quality. But each year
of isolation had done something
toward weakening the social ties.
A loosened pebble turned the scale.
When bit of the coarse-grained sand
stone of the trail rolled under Brouil-
lard's foot and went Gathering down
to plunge into the stream the man in
the chauffeur leather reached for the
searchlight lantern and directed it's
beam upon the canyon portal. But by
that time Brouillard had sought the
shelter Of the scrub pines and was re-
tracing his steps up the shoulder OF
the mountain.
