Per Gent of Corn to Ool).
St. Louis Republic.
There seems to be more than the
renal amount of interest awakened
lately in the improvement or breed
mg up of the corn plant. Among
ether things of interest in this con
section I should like to say a few
words as to the proper or most prof
itable per cent of corn to cob for the
general farmer to grow. Some writ
ers claim that we should grow a va
riety that will give the full fourteen
pounds of cob to the bushel (as that
is the amount allowed by law for
cob.
I think if any one will take the
trouble to consult the experiment
station bulletins on this subject they
will find that the varieties giving
the highest yields per aore (with
possibly one or two exceptions) were
varieties giving only about 15 to 18
per cent cob, giving you only eleven
to twelvo pounds of cob per bushel
instead of fourteen.
Some one remarks that we have to
■give fourteen pounds on a bushel for
cobs; why not grow that amount?
I think every farnmr should aim
to grow the most bun lids of Bhelled
corn per aore of the nighest feeding
value.
I believe the twentieth century
demand will be for a higher grade
in quality of grain rather than “any
old kind of corn.”
I believe that by awakening a
lively interest in improved varieties
of Beed corn and improved methods
of culture the improved farmer will
be able to produce improved yields.
The twentieth century farmer
should bo a farmer who studies to
■ know, or find out the why of things.
I do not favor growing a variety
that will yield 90 per cent corn.
That is too high a per cent to be
practical. About 81 to 80 per cent
is high enough for best results. Let
any one interested take one bushel
of the very best ears he can select
and weigh them and then shell and
weigh the oobB and see just how
nmch oob he is growing per bushel.
If the oob is too heavy, see if he
cannot seleet some that have less
cob and morG corn.
I believe the average-farmer might
easily, by careful study and selec
tion, raise the standard of his corn
so that the cobs from a bushel of
corn would only weigh ten pounds
per bushel instead of fourteen.

Took Time to Place Him.
Now York TIinoB.
Senator Quay, of Pennsylvania, is
aot a laughing man. Ho rarely lets
anythiug movo him beyond the
twinkle in his eye, but a Florida
farmer’s impression regarding him
made him “let loose." The senator,
returning from a fishing trip to his
bungalow, at St. Lucia, Fla., rode in
an accommodation, train, and the
farmer sat beside him and question
ed him. Quay’s knowledge of coun
tryside gossip proved limited and
discouraging.
“Don’t belong to these parts, do
ye?” said the farmer. “Don’t know
much about Florida, do ye?”
“I have been here several times in
my Wanderings,” said Quay.
“And what might bo the reason
ye air wauderin’?”
“I am trying to ameliorate the
condition of man—the inner man,”
replied Quay, solemnly.
The farmer moved to another seat
and remarked to the man beside
whom he sat: "Talked to that feller
back tker’ a good bit ’fore I found
out he was one o’ them dem faith
healers.”
The worries of a weak and sick
mother are only begun with the

Pierce’s Favorite Prescription makes
weak women strong and sick women
well. It lightens all the burdens of
maternity, giving to mothers strength
and vigor,which they impart to their
children. In over thirty years of
practice Dr. Pierce and his associate

half a million suffering women. Sick

Boys and Newspaper Reading.
Atlanta Constitution.
T)ie number of children working
m the factories of Germany to-day
is little more than one-third what it
was in 1895, but the laws are still
often evaded.
The question whether or not chil
dren should be encouraged to read
newspapers has been bought up for
discussion recently by the statement
that juvenile magazines are losing
their popularity.
it is probably true that boys throw
aside these publications sooner than
in former years, but it is doubtful if
anything is lost thereby. The step
.from knickerbockers to business iB
shorter than it used to be. Then
why should a boy cling to juvenile
papers and magazines, however mer
itorious? Unless ho is to be a book
worm, the sooner he gets in touoh
with the work-a-day worid the bet
ter for him.
Complaint is made that the news
papers have cut into the juvenile
magazines—that the boys read the
news. Of course there is reason in
all things, but why Bhonld not an in
telligent boy keep up with the cur
rent events? The boy who oan tell
you the main features of the presi
dent’s message, who knows the con
dition of the Cubans, who has read
all about the steel trust and under
stands the rise of Schwab to place
and power, who can tell you An
drew Carnegie’s history and Jim
Jeffries’ prize ring record, is in a
more robuBt mental condition and
more likely to succeed in life than
tho boy who is kept on literary baby
food after ho has outgrown the need
for it.
Teach your boy to read intelli
gently, to avoid the useless nows of
wrecks and crimes and to devote
himself to more important matters.
Any father ought to be proud of the
young son who can give an intelli
gent explanation of the Schley-
Sampson controversy, and who has
an opinion of his own as to the mer
its of the case. That boy haB begun
to be a man; He is getting ready
to take his place among men and to
hold his own with them. Don’t
stop him. If you can’t help him
along, got out of his way.

Ireland Losing Her People.
lloston llqraid.
According to the figures of the
registrar general, Ireland is still los
ing in population, the decline for
tho last year being figured at 31,-
437. This is entirely accounted for
by emigration, for there was an ex
cess of births over deaths amount
ing to 13,853, making the loss by
emigration for the year 45,288. The
registrar’s figurea show that last
year there were 21,330 marriages,
101,458 births, and 87,600 deaths.
There has been, in comparison with
previous years, a slight decline in
both the birth and marriage rates,
while the death rate shows an in
crease, which is, doubtless, partially
accounted for by the fact that the
reductions of the population by em
igration are almost entirely drawn
from tho ages in which the death
rate would be smallest.
The business done in mouse whis
kers is considerable just now, for
they are used in the making of the
wonderful new fly for fisheamen—
the “new gray gnat.” And they are
expensive—nearly two cents per
whisker. Trout rise very much bet
ter at mouse whisker flies than at
the same “gnat” dressed in jungle-
cock kackies, which look very much
like them.
A square foot of the best Persian
rug is worth about $10 and it takes
a single weaver twenty-three days
to complete this portion. This al
lows the weaver about 44 cents per
day for her wool and her labor; but
as three-fourths of this amount goes
to pay for the wool, only 11 cents
per day is left for the weaver.

Did Not Want to Press Government.
Congressman John Hi Moon has a
rather unique mission to perform for
one of his constituency who lives
hear Chattanooga, but as this party
is armed with the proper credentials
and been very modest about his
claim, it is not thought that the
congressman will have any trouble
in securing the recognition and co
operation of congressmen for this
solid old East Tennesseean who was
a union sympathizer.
Some time ago Congressman Moon
was approached by an old and sub
stantial citizen, who told the judge
that he wanted to have a little pri
vate conversation with him, and the
congressman of the district was very
much surprised when the old citizen
disclosed an order upon the United
States government signed by Gener
al Sherman acknowledging die re
ceipt of 150 bushels of corn at $1.60
a bushel.
The old gentleman explained that
General Sherman had bought the
corn from him when he was in Chat
tanooga during the war and had
given him an order on the govern
ment, agreeing to pay him $1.50 a
bushel for the same. He said that
the reason he had never presented
the claim was because he had want
ed to see the government get along
all right, and did not care to press
it for the amount, as he really had
plenty to get along on without it,
anyway. Now, however, as he was
getting old, and as the old citizens
were passing Away one by one, he
thought the time had come for him
to think about winding up his earth
ly affairs and getting things in shape
so that his family would be in good
shape after he died. Yes, he knew
the government was good for the
money, and would have paid it long
ago if he had turned in the order
for collection, but,. he reiterated, he
had no desire to press the govern
ment about the matter, as it had
probably needed the money worse
than he did.
Congressman Moon now has in
his possession an order on the Uni
ted States government signed by
General Sherman for the 150 bush
els of corn at $1.50 a bushel, and he
intends to collect; it for the old man
who has waited thirty-five years be
cause he did not want to “press” the
government.
