*i''" ? JL? V -# cgJBASitiul f What baa More Ear of Cora Would f Do. ? Profesaor P. Q. Holden. of Iowa. 3'? allows what benefit to his State Just v- one more ear of corn to each hill on every corn field would do. He says: *If one more little ear of corn to each hill,were added it would mean a K half million dollars nicrre for every 3jPk!> one of the ninety-nine counties of the State. Ten bushels more of corn to each acre planted would make $50,000,000 more to be added to the total of Iowa's wealth each year. Our present average yield for Iowa is only thirty-five bushelB to the acre. iuv wuDq iui iina jiuur jifiu is oarren seed corn, and the remedy Is the testing of every ear to be planted and the selection of the best seed corn for planting." j,. Alfalfa and Weeds. Ordinarily, if a farmer sows alfalfa In the spring, he has his old enemy, Ithe weeds, to contend with. If the J' season be damp and cloudly, the alfalfa may not grow fast, but weeds will. Therefore June may see him mowing to retard a rampant growth of weeds instead of gathering a profitable cutting of prime hay. It is not i' , Improbable that he may be doing the same in July or in September, thus losing a whole season. Again, the spring preparation comes when the farmer needs to be working his corn and potato land, hence he is likely |i to slight or neglect the careful preparation of the alfalfa ground and so do a poor job with. In such cases, the usual result of a "poor stand." Then, too, the frequent rains interfere with regular disking and harrowing and the weeds may obtain a start the (farmer cannot check.?From Coburn's 'iffigb "The Book of Alfalfa." '-if '' r crxiuzers. In experiments made at the agricultural station of Lausanne, Switzerland, for the purpose of determining the effect of potash fertilizers upon natural meadows, two neighboring i fields, having almost identical soils of glacial marl, showed a marked difference in effect and, very curiously, the soil of the field that had yielded the larger crop was found, after hart Test, to contain more potash than that of the other field. This remarkable result has been traced to the Influence b.' of drainage. ' The better drainage of .v the field which yielded the larger K crop promoted the circulation of air | > and water in the soil, favored the assimilation of soluble nutriment, and caused the roots to extend to a greatK.f( er depth and utilize a large volume of earth. This example shows that the rJfr fertility of a soil cannot always be determined by chemical analysis alone. The Abnormal Appetite of Cattle. ^ Dr. David Roberts, Wisconsin State Veterinarian, says many cattle with ? an abnormal appetite have a strong Yi- desire to lick the walls, dirt and filth that a healthy animal would have no E desire for. This would indicate a derangement of the digestive organs. If animals thus afflicted are neg riected they will soon run down in llesh, drop off in their milk and become a bill of expense rather than a profitable animal. To overcome this trouble the animal should be given good, clean, nutritious, digestible feed and with same a tonic to regulate the digestive organs. Oftentimes an animal thus afflicted Is disposed of at an unreasonably small amount, and if by chance this ^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",enae ;C aution About Corn. ^^Several Ohio correspondents report that the corn which they expected to sell for seed has shown such low percentages of germination that they aot offer tt for that purpose. It ks all right, but It does not grow, stern exchanges report that gerlation tests made thus far indicate a very large proportion of the saved for seed will not gerte, though it is apparently very ami 111 flno r>r\r\A I f Inn A ? . ago much of the corn didn't as if it would germinate and eoplo became very careful about heir seed corn. This year's condition ? more dangerous, because the corn i apparently sound, and farmers will lereforo believe it to be all right itLout testing it. Testing seed corn so easily done, and its importance great that it should become unijrsal practice, especially when there is so much doubt about vitality as there is this year.?National Stockman and Farmer Getting tlic Garden Ready. Vhen one wishes to start a garden spring it is nearly always worth e to begin operations the prejs autumn. Very often the ground be used is covered with sod, in ~h ease it Is always necessary to or spade It the fall before in JM' er that the" froat ma} act upon it able the gardener to get the f. I ;lBto ?ood workable condition ? *x he wisbee to plant the spring a. The ground very often is full ^ ' of witeh-graaa or quack-gran la very neeesaary that these Mid be eradicated before the gloated. The best time to Is la the autnaan, when the r has comparative leisure. And the best way to do It Is to dig out the root stocks with s fork, which will not break them off as does a hoe or spade. The ground also is likely to be more or less filled with stones and rocks, and it is very desirable that these should be removed before the crops are planted. Consequently, If you desire to have a successful garden next season, decide on its location this fall, get the ground as well prepared as possible, and leave it in such condition that the freezing and thawing in the winter will help in Klvina the soil a flnelv pulverized condition, in which the I roots of plants can grow to much bet- | 1 ter advantage than In soli where the 1 particles are coarse. You will also thus be able to draw plans for your { garden during the winter months with more assurance of success than if you leave all the preparations to the ' few weeks of spring, wheu there are so many things to take up the time and attention of the gardener.?The llousc Beautiful. The Jersey Cow. A correspondent asks us how It is that Jersey cattle are so preserved In uniform appearance and conformation. If our correspondent will consider and reflect a little upon the lew of the Jersey Island, that for a great number of years back in the centuries, no other cattle could bo brought there. Under this law the I purity as well as uniformity of the | breed has been preserved down to the present, and this has made the Jersey cow so generally regarded as the dominant butter breed of the world. In his reference to some of the early importations to this country, the well known writer on Jersey cattle, Valancey E. Fuller, says: Like every breed, the Jersey breed has strains or families that stand out prominently. One of the first to attain any considerable notoriety in the olden days was that of Albert 4 4, who was the sire of six daughters in the fourteen-nound list the mocf famous of whom was Couch's Lily, who made sixteen pounds five and one-half ounces in seven days, and seventy-one pounds in thirty days. I knew Couch's Lily, and while she was considered a great cow and a great breeder in those days, she was not noted for beauty. Lady Mel 2d was another daughter of Albert 44, who Reservedly had a national reputation, as she had a record of 183 pounds in sixty-one days. I question if she was as well known "as Couch's Lily, and yet she should have enjoyed even a better reputation. And so in preserving this great dairy breed constant importations are being made from the Jersey Island, and fresh blood infused in the breed* ing of Jerseys. Minister and Farmer. From an interesting address before the Twentieth Century Club, Boston. by Wm. H. Bowker, on the "Farmer Minister Needed," we clip the following: "In my judgment, the country minister has not lost his hold; he has simply lost his bearings. When the sky clears and he can take observations on the sun and stars, he will steer himself and his craft, of which he is captain, into the new channels of industrial as well as spiritual progress; only we must give him the opportunity, the helping hand, the encouraging word. And why should he not be a leader in this old, but to hltv. mui, ucw iimus tn mo nrs. place, he is generally a student, trained to investigate, to use books, to think on his feet, to express himself, and usually he doeB it remarkably well. With his training and alert mind he can become of great assistance In promulgating the new agriculture; he can help to popularize the sciences which underlie it, chemistry, botany, entomology and especially bacteriology, which deals with the hidden, forceful life in the soi' "For example: If 'ie hr.c only a garden, why should he not experiment with garden crops, and if he loves flowers, with the growing oM sweet peas?- He can show how the inoculation of the sweet per. seed with bacteria cultures will increase the nodules on the roots ' f the plant, thus enabling it to gather nitrogen and produce abundant flowers. On Sunday he can take a vase of these flowers to his pulpit and in a prelude, if you please, or after the service, he can explain how he succeeded in growing such beautiful blossoms. He might display some of the roots of the plant with the nodules on them, and show how infinite and wonderful are God's ways. "As the sweet pea belorgs to the great leguminous family, which embraces peas, beans and clover, he run show the farmers of hi.i parish who happen to be present (and they would be present if they knew he had a message of this sort to deliver), how the inoculation of the clover seed would Insure Its growth and thereby Increase the fertility of the farm by drawing from the great reservoir of the air stores of nitrogen which are needed for the upbuilding of crop life. Here, is one^ of a hundred messages or little preludes or sermons, which the rural minister may carry to his farmer neighbors and parish* loners." Fresh Air.

Personal Incidents and Important Happenings of National Import Published for the Pleasure and In* formation of Newspaper Readers. Committees Work This Summer. During the Congress recess legislators will be busy 'making inquiries that were ordered before adjournment. There is a suggestion of scandal in some of these investigations and reports may be made at the December session calculated to stir up more or less excitement. Foreshadowing all other investigations ordered by Congress is that to be made into Indian affairs in Oklahoma. This particular inquiry was provoked by the sensational charge of Senator Gore, of Oklahoma, that he had been offered a bribe of $50,000 to withdraw his opposition tov a provision in the deficiency bill, directing the President to approve a contract made with the Indians by a firm of lawyers, that has been active around the halls of Congress for many years. Much to ttje surprise of a great many people, the House ordered an inquiry into charges of impropriety in the disposition of Friar lands in the Philippines. This investigation was forced by Representative Martin, of Colorado, a Democrat, who has undying hatred of the sugar tAst. The seat of a member of the United States Senate is involved in ona of the inquiries to be made this summer and fall. Senator Lorimer is the man under fire. It is charged that he got his election to the United States Senate by means of bribery. The affair will be inquired into by a committee of Mr. Lorimer's colleagues. The investigation will be begun in the fall. The inquiry in the ship subsidy scandal, which will be resumed in the fall, has been in progress several 'weeks. Up to date the scandal has not developed. There will be a good deal going on in the Ballinger-Pinchot affair in the fall. The committee that is throwing the light on this affair was busy the better part of the late session, but it did not complete its labors. During the summer the committeemen will go over the evidence and the briefs, and meet at Minneapolis to make up the report. It is known in Washington that the majority report of the committee will throw down the charges against Secretary Ballingier by Mr. Pinchot and the others associated with him in the "prosecution?." The Ballinger-Pinchot report is likely to be given >-to the public in advance of the election. An inquiry ordered at the instance of President Taft is likely to result in important enactments further regulative of the business of the railroads of the country. The railroad bill authorizes the President to appoint a commission to make inquiries into alleged watering of railroad securities. This inquiry grew out of the Coil.,-.. 41 4,-1- ? J L , i itnui d vi tue biuck ana nonas provisions of the railroad bill. There is a strong likelihood that this committee will finish its labor* in the fall. Patent Inventions Barred. The government will no longer be permitted tp use, without authority or compensation, patented inventions 'that are passed upon by the United States Patent Office. For .years complaint has been made that Uncle Sam has had a habit of using without awarding compensation various patented devices. Inventors made complaint. Population of Washington. The population of the District of Columbia is 331,060. In the last decade, according to the returns of the thirteenth census, made public, btis is an increase of 52,351 over the population of the District in 1900, which was then 278,718. The population in 1800 was 230,392. The increase from 1900 to 1910, therefore, was 18.8 per cent, as compared with the increase of 48,326, or 21- per cent, for the preceding decade. * hp 1 ? v" - 1 me c?y 01 Washington is considered for census purposes to be coextensive with the Lttstriet of Columbia. \ \ Corporation Division treated.

Knoxrille, Tenn., Special,?For the Appalachian Exposition, to bo held in Knoxville, September 12 to October 12, the railroads of the southeastern territory hare granted extremely low rates which insure the success of the enterprise, making possible the attendence of thousands. The exposition being especially designed for the states of the Appalachian region, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama and Kentucky, there is sure to be a large patronage of the , coach excursions to be run on Tuesdays and Thursdays during the exposition period, for which the rate ' will be approximately one - cenf per mile traveled. Tickets sold for these ' excursions will be good only in ' coaches. Tickets at approximately one and 1 one-half cents per mile traveled will be on sale during the exposition.

There has been some raisunder- f - t tanding and some complaint on the ( art of merchants of this State in onncction with the enforcement of j he food inspection net passed at the 910 session of the general assembly. V*. One of the main questions that has wfl risen is in regard to stock of food able to tax on hand. Mr. Watson ays if stock on hand was recived efore May 1 and he receives satis- s| actory statement to this effect, ha rill issue orders relieving this stock f the tags. But stock received since lay 1 must carry stamps as it is old to the consumer. x The principle cause of complaint, mong merchants is that they are equireu to watch out for damaged oods. They are told by inspectors hat if bad meal, grits or other id rain come into the store, such stuff ill be confiscated. The merchants rgue that they will be unable to eteet any slight damage iu a sack of orn or meal. The dealers say that it would manTestlv be imjSossible for them in busy eason to examine all the grain that ^ ouic into their stores and see that 11 of it is absolutely pure. Even if af hey could examine it, they say that t would also be impossible for them o tell what the standard is, as they re not experts. It is argued that the ^ lerchants deal in other goods, thera- ^ ore, are not specializes enough to d e experts in the matter of grain. mi * i ne rules and radiations explain he foodstuffs act and copies of this aw have been sent out to jobbers and winufaeturers. It will take some ime for the law to run smoothly. In 41 he meantime there is some trouble j 11 its enforcement. Only 2,029 Automobiles Registered. *C~ 8 According to reports received by .J**!
