HINTS FOR FARMERS PEOPLE OF THE DAY fOR THE HOUSEWIFE Plaatla* Cara. NevaA**« New Senator. A writer tn the Iowa Homestead say» that in North Carolina corn la planted in rows six feet apart aud one foot in the rows and that a writer says 254 bushels per acre have been grown in that way. The Iowa man la misin formed. The famous 254 bushel crop grown In South Carolina year» ago was, we have understood, really two crops, the flrat crop belug planted early aud alx feet apart between the rows, and when thia waa laid by another planting waa made midway between the rows. The early crop was cut out when glazed and the aeeoud crop culti vated aud matured. The common method in the south is to plant the tall •growing coru six feet apart each way and oue stalk In a hili. Corn planted In thia way and making but oue eat per atalk cannot make a big crop even ou stroug laud. The great need of th« southern coru grower is a proper breed Ing of coru to a more dwarf atature, ao that It can be planted closely. Thlt baa been done at the North Carolina College of Agriculture, and corn plant ed in rows 3 feet 8 Inches apart and rather thickly In the rows mad« eighty-eight bushels per acre on up land that a few years previous would not have made over ten bushels with the ordinary planting aud tall corn with single ears.

Cattla* Cera. There has been great loss in the feed ing value of corn fodder by reason ot delay in cutting. I use a corn binder and cut when many of the tops of the corn are still green. Just as soon as the busks are dry and the corn will keep In ahocka begin cutting. If there la any doubt as to the curing of the corn, I let the bundles lie on the ground a day or two before setting up. No de vice Is needed to make the shocks stand up except a little twine. I plant In check row«, 3 feet 8 inches each way, and make shocks twenty bills square, or 400 hills to the shock. Set up four bundles, placing them well apart at the bottom, and tie the top; then set up the corn evenly all around. When finished, tie again as follows: With a rope having a ring on one end draw the shock up tightly; then tie above the rope with binder twine, aft erward removing the rope. If this work is well doue, there will be no down shocks. With four mules and a good driver we cut eight to ten acres a day.—J. D. Clardy in American Agri culturist. For Fighting Cnbbnge Worms. Boon we will have trouble with the cabbage worm, green and striped. Then spraying, dusting, sprinkling and torch burning will be in order. Kero sene emulsion used with a sprayer will kill the worms and is otherwise harm less. The same may be said of Persian insect powder, tobacco powder, etc. Hot water, even at boiling heat, may be sprinkled on without damage to anything but worms, but if the water is at or near boiling heat a sprinkling nozzle should be used that has very fine perforations, and the sprinkler should be held ata distance of two and a half to three feet. In passing In flue streams from sprinkler to cabbage the water Is sufficiently cooled to prevent injury to the plants. The gasoline torch Is probably the most effective and expeditious method known for killing cabbage worms, as the flame may be brought in contact with the underside of the leaves. This Instru ment Is largely used by market gar deners. Glaves* Caltare. Ginseng Is slow. From seed planted thia year you cannot get roots to mar ket until Wil.

He practiced law tn San Francis co until 1886, when he became trustee of the estate of the late William Shar on. formerly i’nltcd States senator from Nevada. Mr. Newlands removed to Reno, Nev., and has since been prominently identified with the inter ests of the state. He lias been for years one of the leading authorities up on the subject of irrigation and an ad vocate of measures providing for gov ernmental systems of irrigation in the arid regions of the west. Remember that if your cattle, bogs or horses have ticks or lice or your sheep have ticks or scab you have to supply the vermin as well as the animals with food. Is It profitable to feed ticks, lice, etc.? If not. why not get rid of them? Spain'» New Premier. Spain Is hoping for great things from her new prime minister. Senor Francis co Sllvela. and she seems to have good reason for so doing. The statesman who for the second time is succeeding the lamented Sagasta In the premier ship is a man of decidedly uncommon character and gifts. It is true that Senor Sllvela, when first chosen to dl rect the national destinies, held office only for a short time, but that was less his fault than the fault of the times. He became prime minister just when the whole country was tingling with shame over Its defeat at the bands of ■ America and over the cession of the | Philippines, and few men could have satisfied the demands of all the con tending factions. Now. however, the situation in Spain Is quite evidently on the mend, and Senor Sllvela has almost every thing in bis favor. A man of marked talenti. * CONSERVES THS SAVORY ODORS Ing.

It is the custom at some social gath erings to mix various objects, such as coins, rings, thimbles, etc., In a cake to furnish amusement to the guests. There are two objections to this custom as ordinarily carried out — some of the metal articles may not be perfectly clean, and there Is the risk that the smallest among them may be swal lowed. The best plan is to twist each article in a bit of oiled paper, which will preveut risks from either cause. Lee Mattia* I* Sa 1er. A Cesakiaatloa Jelly.

Tbow Ns* t»®« Wkoas * Medeet Maldea War Lavish Klaaee Wltkeal Coatpuaellea aad Thuae Toward Wheas Sb* Sbaald Play tbs Miser. There are still occasions, however rare, when inactivity, much as it has fallen Into disfavor, continues to be masterly. Wiieu a modest maiden Is In doubt as to whether or no she should kiss or allow herself to be kissed by any man not related to her by close ties of consanguinity, she best displays her wisdom by giving herself, not him. the beuefit of the doubt and so refrain ing from osculation. Au absolutely safe list of men whom It is allowable to kiss might be com piled from the list given in the Book of Common Prayer of persons whom It is forbidden to marry. There can be no possible Impropriety In any woman’s belug kissed by her father, grandfather, brother, uncles, etc., whenever occa sion may offer. Still, public opinion Is much less In favor of kissing than of yore, aud affectionate greetings are no longer considered good form in mar ket places or what answers for them In the present generation. To the prayer book may be added cousins within the degrees forbidden In marriage by the Roman Catholic church, but these in moderation. The young man cousin who la greedy in the matter of kisses from hla pretty cousin is not to be trusted. He Should be denied And set aside and mortified. Kisses of greeting or parting, of good night, good moruiug and of congratu lation are still general, although by no means so frequent as they were for merly. Indeed, kissing as a practice Is much less popular than it once was. Between doctors and the moralists it is constantly falling more and more Into disfavor, while, still more fatal, Fash ion, with a big F, sets her face as a flint against all demonstrations of feel ing as ill bred. All the same, the man who becomes engaged to be married, as a usual thing, expects a kiss from his fiancee to seal the bargain, not for publication, so to say, but as a guarantee of good faith on her part. If she is willing to promise to marry him, he reasons, she ought to be willing to let him kiss ber. Moreover, he desires a kiss or kisses upon general principles as something to which he Is entitled by the unwrit ten law of tradition. On the other hand, me party of the second part has herself to consider in the matter. A woman should be sure of her own bona fide intentions of matrimony and dou bly sure of those of her lover before she sets such a sign and seal to the contract. Engagements of marriage are by no means lrrefragible, and she who kisses least Is likely to have least cause for future regret. At all events a prudent woman will wait until the engagement is announced before she permits any kissing. There are men who have serious objections to marry ing any woman who has been engaged to auother man, for the simple reason that they do not choose that any man shall be able to say of the woman whom they take to wife that he has kissed her as her lover. It matters lit tle, rather more, that the kisses hav.» been given in good faith to an affianced husband. It’s a way men have. Sir, she's yours!

Then spread and dry. Dos'» No more horrid odors through the house when cooking is in progress. A smokeless frying pan Is the latest in vention to come to the housekeeper’s aid. There Is a diminutive chimney in one side of the frying pan by which all the odor of cooking Is sucked down in to the stove and, presto, up the chim ney. Tiuy perforations in the lid aid the work. The bole In the bottom of the pan Is on one side, so that it in no way inter feres with anything placed in the pan. It Is also walled around with the ma terial of the pan to the top, so that the careful housewife need not fear that any of the Juices or frying material will eseaiM*. The gases are sucked down through the opening and out through the natural vent, the chim ney. Now that it has been so well done one wonders It was not done be fore. The baue of frying Is the smoke and smell that till the kitchen and In spite of the utmost care ereep all over the house. This Is an effectual remedy. It is Inexpensive too.

In some English experiments com parative teats were made with large and small seed, wheat, oats and beans. The uxAl eiriktu* leouiu Were obtain ed from wheat. The yield from the large seed was almost double that from the small. The difference was less marked with oats, and with beans there was practically no advantage In plant ing large seed.

A noted "lady killer” of a past gener ation who bad been engaged many times and who boasted to his intimates that no woman had ever refused an of fer of bis band in marriage was once asked why in that case he was still a bachelor. “Because I am waiting until I can find a woman who will not per- mit me to kiss her before we are mar- vied,” he replied. Even though a woman be fully as sured of the inevltablenesa in due time of ber marriage she will be wise not to be too liberal of her caresses. Most things in this world are rated aa valua ble in direct proportion to their rarity. Were diamonds as common as pebbles they would be worth no more commer cially than the common stones of the beach and highway. Moreover, one may have too much of a good thing. King Midas’ story is an old one. “Too much water drowned the miller.” It Is a com mon practice with confectioners to al low a new apprentice all the candy which he or she can eat, certain that in a little while the surfeit of sweet will destroy all taste for sugar in any form. It is human nature essentially to tire of what we have much of aud to prize most the fruit which hangs highest and Is most difficult to obtain. Consequently the woman who Is chary of her favors, who is niggardly even with ber caresses, will find that ber lover values them all the more, and that bls respect, as well as his affec tion, for ber becomes the greater In proportion as he hopes rather than la sure of ber.

Great Sum» Oftru Hurriedly Raised by Wall Street Baaki. An interesting question often asked In Wall street concerns the amount of cupltal that a large bank could raise at un hour’s notice. That Is, bow much accommodation could a bank extend a customer unexpectedly confronted with pressing need or for the purpose of financing a big deal. A banker of in ternational experience is authority for the statement that Wall atreet's facili ties in this regard are superior to Lon don's in that a large undertaking could be financed here with much greater dispatch than on the other side. Bald au officer of one of Wall street’s most important bauks: "It Is no trou ble at all nowadays to raise $5,000,000 or $0,000,000 within an hour. I have seen it done too often to think for a moment that it would tax seriously a large bank's resources. Five times that sum, say $25,000,000, can be raised at twenty-four hours' notice. It has been done. Of course no one bank could do it, but the great Wall street institu tions are linked together in such a way as to provide almost unlimited re sources for the financing of any safe deal. The large banks think little of $1,000,000 or $2,000,000 loans them days, whereas in former years they at tracted general attention, for such large amounts were released only after con- siderable negotiation. But that baa all changed now.”—New York Mail and Express. Plctares and the Eye. Sir Thomas Lawrence, an eminent English painter and president of the Itoyal academy, commended the pic tures of a young artist and then said to him: “You have around your room two or three rough, clever, but coarse Flemish sketches. If I were you, I would not allow my eye to become fa miliarized with any but the highest forms of art. If you cannot afford to buy good oil paintings, buy good en gravings of grea't pictures, or have nothing at all upon your walls. "You allow. In Intercourse with your fellows, that 'evil communications cor rupt good manners.’ So Is it with pic tures. If you allow your eye to become familiar with what is vulgar in con ception. however free and dashing the handling and however excellent the feeling for color, your taste will insen sibly become depraved. Whereas, if you habituate your eye to look only on what is pure and grand or refined and lovely, your taste will insensibly become elevated.” Foaad Them Hard to Raise. A great gormand who bad a passion for shellfish Inherited a fine estate and a large sum of money. He had been extravagant, and his friends were greatly rejoiced at his legacy. Mr. H. Barry In "Ivan at Home” tells to what use the money was devoted: I went to town one day and soon learned that the prince was in his a»u- al Impecunious condition. "Where has your legacy gone?" I asked. "Why," he replied, "you know that I am very fond of lobsters, and, having a river on my estate, I thought I would try to acclimatise them there, Ltrt uu fortunately I have spent all the legacy in the attempt without succeeding.

The relic which is thus so zealously guarded is described In some notes on the history of the college as the "skeleton” of Jeremy Bentham, “clad in the garments in which he lived,” while bls bead only Is stated to have been "mummified." It has always been understood that Bentham's body was embalmed, and in that case it can not be his mere skeleton which Is re posing there under lock and key. Saperatltloa Aboat Cato.

I once sat at a banquet given In Lon- ion by Wilson Barrett to Lawrence Barrett, says a writer in an English magazine. Earl Lytton presided, a curled, oiled, effeminate, supercllioua fop. He had a Roman tragedy to sell to Wilson Barrett. That was why be came. He eulogized Wilson Barrett in a tpeech. "I believe,” he said, “that Mr. Barrett won some success with a piece railed (consulting his notes) 'The Lights of Ixindon.’ I suppose it was the work of some dramatic hack.” George 81ms sat facing him and never said a word. Then Ills lordship went drawling on: “I next find on the list of Mr. Barrett’s successes something called ‘The Silver King.’ Here again I know nothing of the authorship. The names of those dramatic carpenters do not interest me.” At which Henry Arthur Jones glared and a flush came Into the face of poor blind Henry Herman. “Finally,” saiu Lord Ljttou, “Mr. Wilson Rnrrott has placed on his boards what lie humorously calls a Ro man tr-<Nly. I refer to ‘Claudlan,’ at- ♦ribnt/Ml to one W. G. Wills, of whom I have never heard.” This waa too much for the banqueters. All of them were personally acquainted with Irving's pet poet, the modest Wills. So they howled derisively. And Earl Lytton's tragedy, produced a month later, was a dismal failure.
