But, young men, remember this: Don't be nervous about, people know ing who is doing well and who is not. Every mother's son of you farmers are at it every day writing out upon the ground your own replutation. and character, and if you are doing ered ijable work others will see it and do y our blowing for you without your lelp. Good farming tools and implements are comparatively very cheap and will be ready and on hand for wvoi;k at any hour1, while labor is very' high and unavailable. You may have 15 hands today but you cailnot count on 5 of them for tomorrow's work untli they fall in line at work time. Then donl't make a mistake by trying to save oil tihe tools side and paying b)ig ~wages for very worthless labor. Pay better wvages for beCtter men and nev' er' pay ihe best price for poor labor ers. Some b)oys, and n:r-n, too, make a big mistake in the difference b)eave(', samri tricks and mean tricka. All 'mclh efforts are abortive as to the original intentions, this kind of ehleap) stuff fools -no one more than the onle who starts out to fool othi ers.

N io Corn Bears Ever Come South Produce ais muell' corn as you moy in the South and, onle is never uneasy or need lose aiy sleep over fears about corn b)ears ruining your piros pe~et. You eanniot cat, -feed or wear cotton, but,corn in the south is al * ways legal tender, and can be utilized mi the'farm in many ways or sold to, our neighbors. We made an average of seventy bushels and nearly one-half corn per aere last ydar without using the hand hoe at any time, neither did we thin the corn. It was loft in the row just the planter dropped it. Our plans far, this year's corn crop on upland s rowvs six feet, hills two feet, and and b)edded out in the Fall and Jan Will plant in wvater furrow from niddle of last of March, if wveather U ermits. Our low bottom lands were 0(h(dded out with two-horse plows in JImnnary and February in b)eds ten fket wide, harrowing top of bed as fist as ploiving. goes on. Two rows wll be planted on top) f thiis bed in reh four feet apart, hill two feet. e will leave six-feet, apart on top. ed. lltivation will be as near this * s weather will admit.v About ti'me- corn begins to poop out/ of ground 'thes weeder wi.l1)he run Slengthwise and in from five to ~ yen da$ys r'an .orossways on bottom ud(s, but may have to run over, twice ripit)la 1 1 thewbeore cross .ig 00accoint or 6overing corl, dowr in the furrow. IU the' weeder pulh do.wn too much dirt in water furrow in the bottom lands we will run -out ;water furrows, with - large middle buster or double jack to keep draim open. #bout time crops are half' don Oultiv4ting then dtpply standard com plIete fertilizers in every other middle on ipland,'aud nitrate of soda at last eutti'vation in the other middles,'and either sow or drill cow peas or soga beans in all middles 'at last plough ing. For feay, of missing our seed peas and beaus we will drill one row of these * between the six foot corn rows about the time we are half through with the cultivating. We never go, more than twice in a row and smooth lands but once. Fertilizers For Corn. We have referred to fertilizers as though we could not grow corn witi out it, but this is not the case, as niany linve good lands that grow pay ing erops witiout the use of any fer tilizer. If we had to confine our choice to only one side application we woul p111p l itrate of soda at last, culitivation. Our observation and experience with the Williamson method is Ihat planting the erop early and down in tle water furrow and the late side application of solible fertilizers con tribues more to the success of 'the Williamson method than the "stunt ng'' of the plants. Selecting the Seed. We prefer a hIard white -rainl and not less than-two ears to the stalk. We used to want one bi - ear on ac :'otit of hand-shiuking and gather i, but now we, do aill the stuit of l.ia estng, shuckin, fodder-pull I inl( aid shredding by Inachiiinery. and the 1iumber of ears to tle stalk has no 1onsideration in the imlatter. In al out 100 tests of seed corn taken from planting machines in Towa the Ames Nxpei-iimeint Station test showed a :iff'rence of 20 bushels to nearly 100 bushels in the seed to the acre. That.is a good seed, gave sometimes 50 bushels increase to the acre. Curing a Critic. Tle daughiliter of a certain. states ian has a liusband Iiwho is disposed to be critical. Most of his friends are nen of great wealth who live extre nely well, anid association with thenm has iade him somewhat hard to pleasein the matter of eookiing. For some time the tendency has been .rowing on him. "What is this meant for?'' lie would ask after tastinig an entree his wife h' ad racked lier brian to prepare. "What on carti is this?'' he would ny when dessert vame on. "Is t his supposed' to be salad?'' he would inquire sarcastically when the lettuce was servedl. The wife stood it as long as she could. One evening lie cam'e home in a particularly captious humor. HI-s .wife was dressed in her most benom ing gown and fairly bubbled over withI wit. They went to dinner. The 50u11 turieein was broug~ht in. Tied to one handle was a card, and on that card the information in a big round ''This is soup1.'' Roast beef followed with a p)lacar'd minounemg: " Thiis is roast beef.' The~ potatoes were labelled. The gravy dishi wuas plaear'ded. The olives >ore a caird marked "'Olives, '' sal ad bowl car'ried a tag marked ''sal ad '' and when the ice pudding came ni a card announcing " 'this is ice yudidinig'' waus with i't. The wife talked of a thousand dif ferenit thuing's all through the meal never onice refrming by word or look to the labeled dishes. Neither then ior thereafter (lid she say a word about them, and never since that eve ning has the captious husband ven lured to incouire the nme of any t.hing set before him.-Tit-Bits. Something New In Kentucky. * Fairbanks of Indiana and Shaw of Iowa were. stuimping Kentucky. Af ecr a sue6essful meeting the Ken tucky colonel who shad thie twvo Re publicaii statesmen in, charge invited them into the hotel barroom for some refreshments. ''What'll you l',ve?"' lie asked Senatfor Fairbanks. "A little cold apollinaris," was the reply. '"And you?" said the host to Gov rnor Shaw. "1 think I will have a glass of l)ttermilk.'" The barkeeper tirnied to the Ken tuckian. "What s'hall I give you, olonel?" ho asked. *0 Thp.Kentucky gentleman 'heaved a long, sigh. "'Under th'e .eirpumstan es," he said, "I think you'ean give ne-a piece of pie." Five IFS for Your Consideration.
