What One More Ear of Corn Would r Do. t Professor P. G. Holden, of Iowa, I shows what benefit to his State just t one more ear of corn to each hill on ? every corn field would do. He says: T "If one more little ear of corn to i! each hill were added it would mean a * halt' million dollars more for every s one of the ninety-nine counties of the 3 State. Ten bushels more of corn to * 4Rch acre planted would make $30,000,000 more to be added to the total of Iowa's wealth each year. Our present average yield for Iowa is I only thirty-five bushels to the acre. e The cause for this poor yield is barren J seed corn, and the remedy is the test- e ing of every ear to be planted and the selection of the best seed corn for planting." c Alfalfa and Weeds. ^ Ordinarily, if a farmer sows alfalfa s k In the spring, he has his old enemy, ? '.he weeds, to contend with. If the season be damp and cloudly, the al- v falfa may not grow fast, but weeds j: will. Therefore June may see him mowing to retard a rampant growth 1 of weeds instead of gathering a profit- s able cutting of prime hay. It is not ? improbable that he may be doing the same in July or in September, thus losing a whole season. Again, the spring preparation comes wheu the c, - - d farmer needs to be working Ms corn ~ and potato land, hence he is likely to slight or neglect the careful prep- * aration of the alfalfa ground and so 1 do a poor job with, in such cases, the s usual result of a "poor stand." Then, ' too, the frequent rains interfere with J] regular disking and harrowing and the weeds may obtain a start the * farmer cannot check.?From Coburn's b 'The Book of Alfalfa." J Fertilizers. In experiments made at the agri cultural station qf Lausanne, Switzerland, for the purpose of determining the effect of pcftash fertilizers upon natural meadows, two neighboring " fields, having almost identical soils of glacial marl, showed a marked dif- 6 ference in effect and, very curiously, ? the soil of the field that had yielded ? the larger crop was found, after harvest, to contain more potash than that of the other field. This remarkable ? result has been traced to the influence of drainage. The better drainage of p the field which yielded the larger crop promoted the circulation of air J* and water in the soil, favored the assimilation of soluble nutriment, and ? caused the roots to extend to a greater depth and utilize a large volume of a earth. This example shows that the fertility of a soil cannot always be determined by chemical analysis * alone. ' ~~ . tl The Abnormal Appetite of Cattle. ^ Dr. David Roberts, Wisconsin State, j. Veterinarian, says many cattle with ^ ' an abnormal appetite have a strong 0 desire to lick the walls, dirt and filth S( that a healthy animal would have no j. desire for. This would indicate a de- C( rangement of the digestive organs. b If animals thus afflicted are neg- n lected they will soon run down in a flesh, drop off in their milk and be- d come a bill of expense rather than a a pj-dfitable animal. j, To overcome this trouble the ani- ^ mal should be given good, clean, nu- a tritious, digestible feed and with a same a tonic to regulate the digestive organs. . d imfte f>n on Jmol lie* v/iitutiiuto ?U uuiLuui VMUQ uiutvwvs* JJ is disposed of at an unreasonably a small amount, and if by chance this j, animal is purchased by one well versed in the care and treatment of such animals, is converted into a profitable animal at a very little ex- f( pense. t Caution About Corn. ^ Several Ohio correspondents report that the corn which they expected to n sell for seed has shown such low per- ^ centages of germination that they t; cannot offer it for that purpose. It v looks all right, but it does not grow. s Western exchanges report that ger- ^ mination tests made thus far indicate 0 that a very large proportion of the p corn saved for seed will not ger- 0 minate, though it is apparently very e' good and in fine condition. A few h years ago much of the corn didn't b look as if it -would germinate and i< people became very careful about v their seed corn. This year's condition b is more dangerous, because the corn u Is apparently sound, and farmers will \ therefore believe it to be all right c without testing it. Testing seed corn E is so easily done, and Its importance c so great that it should become uni- ? | ve^fil practice, especially when there e is much doubt about vitality as o tbCTe is this year.?-National Stock- f man and Farmer. e Gettinc the Garden Readr. r When one wishes to start a garden 1 in spring it is nearly always worth s while to begin operations the pre- i: vious autumn. Very often the ground L to be used is covered with sod, in r which case it is always necessary to t plow or spade it the fall before in a order that the frost may act upon it ? and enable the gardener to get the f soil into good workable condition i when he wishes to plant the spring ( crops. The ground very often is full g of roots of witch-grass or quack-grass 1 and it is very necessary that these c roots should be eradicated before the t crops are planted. The best time to c do this is in the autumn, when the gardener has comparative leisure, g And the best way to do it is to dig t out the rcot stocks with a fork, which s will not break them off as does a * hoe or spade. The ground also is t likely to be more or less filled with i stones and rocks, and it is very de-. t sirable that these should be removed ^ $ before the crops are planted. i | Consequently, if you desire to have c a successful garden next season, de- t cide on its location this fall, get the i ground as well prepared as possible. 1 and leave it in such condition that s the freezing and thawing in the win- \ ter will help in giving the soil a finely t pulverized coudit;on. in which the; i i oots of plants can grow to much beter advantage than in soil where the. * (articles are coarse. You will also f hus be able to draw plans for your 1 jarden during the winter months c vith more assurance of success than \ [ you leave all the preparations to the ew weeks of spring, when there are o many things to take up the time ind attention of the gardener.?The louse Beautiful. f The Fine GardeD. s "What is a garden?

Under this law the j s< urity as well as uniformity of the 3 reed has been preserved down to the a resent, and this has made the Jersey C jw so generally regarded as the dom- tl lant butter breed of the world. In tl is reference to some of the early im- Si ortations to this country, the well w nown writer on Jersey cattle, Val- u ncey E. Fuller, says: 3* Like every breed, the Jersey breed w as strains or families that stand out i ^ rominently. One of the first to atlin any considerable notoriety in ; a: ie olden days was that of Albert 44, 1 rho was the sire of six daughters in j P ae fourteen-pound list, the most , H imous of whom was Couch's Lily, , 'ho made sixteen nounds five and I ai ne-half ounces in seven days, and eventy-one pounds in thirty days.

From an interesting address beire the Twentieth Century Club, Boson, by Wm. H. Bowker, on the j 0 Farmer Minister Needed," we clip j, be following: ? "In my judgment, the country ilnister has not lost his hold; he as simply lost his bearings. When j he sky clears and he cau take obser- ^ ations on the sun and stars, he will teer himself and his craft, of which e Is captain, into the new channels i f industrial as well as spiritual g rogress; only we must give him the j pportunity, the helping hand, the | ^ tcouraging word.

Vith his training and alert mind he ^ an become of great assistance in pro aulpating the new agriculture; he j <| an help to popularize the sciences ' rhich underlie it, chemistry, botany, ntomo'-ogy and especially bacteriol- .. gy, which deals with the hidden, t orceful life in the soil. "For example: If he has only a :arden, why should he not experi- j uent with garden crops, and if he i oves flowers, with the growing of ; n weet peas? He can show howt the h noculation of the sweet per. seed with d iacteria cultures will increase the ii lodules on the roots < f the plant, s hus enabling it to gather nitrogen ? md produce abundant flowers.

C TTHE ART OF THE : i mtjmm The motion picture, so aptly ermed the silent drama, its rapidfy idvancing toward the topmost pinjacle of dramatic art, and is, perhaps, iestined to supersede stagecraft in he portrayal of human emotion, says rames Carroll, writing on "Modern iistrionics." The thrall of the moion picture lies in its realism; the mrapt spectator lives and acts the >lay with the actors, who stand forth lesh and blood upon the pulsing icreen against a scenic background o real that one puts forth a hand o pluck a rose from its swaying bush, )r instinctively dodges before the >nrusb of a speeding train, dashing lead on from the picture. No human luppets are these actors, nor tinelled marionettes to dance to the irompter's string; they rely not upon edious dialogue between principals o explain the plot, but by virile acion and acting of the highest order, aake clear the most intricate plot to he humblest auditor. me piays trom wmcn tne pictures re made, are written and selected nth the greatest care, and are not lways written successfully by the aost eminent playwrights and authrs, as one would imagine. Like enius and goodness, the talent is orn, not made. It took a Rostand o write "Chantecler," but Rostand erchance might not be able to pen a ood picture play. The best of these lays are written and produced in his country, and the censorious care f the manufacturers guarantees picure plays of the highest moral charcter. Can as much be said of modrn drama? The Ampripnn nil hi to Ar erves and demands the best, and | bey get it. The tremendous strides which the ilent Drama has taken on the path o perfection is exemplified by the lay, "A Corner in Wheat," produced y the Biograph people, which is pracically a picture editorial, and teaches lesson which cannot be found in lany a sermon, and which has made tiousands of people think.

Put them in cold water for a few moments and then cook in boiling salted water, barely enough to keep from burning. They will cook tender in from twenty to thirty minutes. For about one pint of the carrots allow one teaspoon each of butter and flour creamed together; stir it into the boiling liquid. There should be but a few spoonfuls, but by tipping the pan toward you they can be blended easily. Add one-half teaspoonful of salt and a little pepper, let it boil about five minutes, then sprinkle again with parsley, using about one teaspoonful in all. Be very careful not to burn and this should be very delicious.?Mildred L. Morse, in the Boston Post. ^pH^E^LD"| To put out fire in chimney, open the drafts in the stove and put in sulphur.

Perspiration stains may be removed by immersing the stained parts in soap solution and drying in the sun. In toasting biscuit they are much nicer if cut in slices across the grain instead of being sliced in the usual manner. A nice relish to serve with fish is cabbage, cut very fine and dressed with French dressing beaten almost to an emulsion. To remove ink from linen: Wet the brimstone of two Qr three matches and apply to the spot. Wash in the usuax manner. To remove match scratches from woodwork, rub first with sliced lemon, next with whiting and then wash with soap suds. When washing fine china or cut glass a heavy Turkish towel on the bottom of the dishpan will often keep the dishes from chipping. To make sour fruit sweet: To two pounds of fruit, when cooking, add one teaspoonful of soda. It will be found cheaper than sugar. In case of burns on the fingers, merely dip them into a dish of kerosene. but: pour over other parts. In slight burns not even a blister will arise. This is a Chinese remedy. In making jellies, and sometimes grape juice, if not too particular about their clearness, it is often desirable to squeeze the bags. Use a good wire broiler; it is strong and easily cleaned.
