Galveston. Tex., ha exported to" for elpn countrtea since last September 8.200,000 bales of cotton, or more tbaa the output for tbt entire season of 1010 and lOil. How many, of the bright boys and jrlrla who read the note bave ever Inspected aa ear of corn eloeely enough to tell whether the rem sW of the kernels face toward la tip of butt of the earl 8nnshtne la one of the cheapest at well as most effective perm killers known and should be made use of along this line far more than It Is In the home, in the dairy barn and In the poultry house. The stuff that crows in one's garden may taste Just as pood If grown In crooked as In straight rows, but the crooked rows are kind of hard on the eyes of the folks who pasa the garden patch and look It over. Cream for churning whether in sum. mer or winter should hare a tempera ture of G2 degrees K. if much colder than this the cream will come slowly, while If warmer the butter will come with a mushy and greasy texture. A tempting price for corn which causes the grower to pell It In the raw state rather than feed It to bis hops or cattle brings blm In ready money, It Is true, but It constitutes petit larceny against the soil that be ought not to be guilty of. A stack of weed enn often he killed In a hurry In a field of corn tbnt is from six to ten Inches high by using a tooth barrow, und alight dainnge will be done to the corn provided the drag ging la done during the afternoon, when the sun shines warm. While the Cnlted States is remark ably rich In most minerals. It U very jow in the scale when it come to tbe production of tin. The total value of tbe output for 1U10 was ftJ.47.

The strips of cloth uwd can be cut of a length to text from n doien to fifty earn, a oue de sire. While the earn may be kept tu rotation, na mvrnuum'beMn-a'tow.-the writer has fouud a very conven ient marker to be a small piece of cardboard or pasteboard treating tbe number and stuck to the ear by an elghtpenny nail run Into tbe pith at the butt. When tbe kernels are all In place a little wisp of hay or straw ahould be caught In the end for a core and tbe cloth carefully rolled up. To prorlde fur this tbe marking for the space ahould not come closer than five or six Inches to tbe ends of tbe strips. When rolled up cord should be tied arotlnd tbe enda of the "rap dolL" When kernels from all ears to be tested bave been secured and the cloths' rolled up they should be soaked In tepid water from eighteen to twenty-four hours. This ahould then be placed In a box covered wltb a couple of inches of earth or saw dust and kept moist and warm for about six days, at the end of which time the test should be ready to read. Tbe "nig doll" tester has nn advantage over the heavy box tester In that It can be moved easily to places where It can be kept warm and doe not take up mi much room. It also gives quick er germination than tho box tester. -, i vOr.'K't Plattsry. , Everything 'about Auljt Dorothy seemed lovely nnd wholly desirable to rtobhy.

A common mtstake In the selection of a site for the apple orchard tract, large or small, ta that of choosing a soli tbnt Is too rich: that will cause abundant growth of wood, but mighty little fruit. In the valley lu which the writer's ranch is located hi an or chard of mature apple trees, as pretty a alght from the standpoint of foliage as one could ask to see. which has lately been felled because It did Lot deliver tbe good. The tract Is fat. rich and well watered. Within gun shot of this tract Is a block of winter Nells pear tree of the same age that for several yeura past hnve grossed tbclr owner close to a thousand dol lars per acre. Never wjs more em phatically demonstrated the fact that soil can be too rich for apples, but not for pears.

That trend In education wblcb Is coming to lay greater stress uion those j branches that bare to do with the ' home domestic s lenre and with tbe farm manual tralntug. agricultural and horticultural baa mut-b to i-oro-mend It. as It Is clear tbat these branches have a far more Important and vital bearing on the everyday life of the people than do languages and some other branches. In many schools today loraied lornral communities at tention la lielng especially directed to a stndy of agriculture and horticulture, and the results are often manifest in an Improved condition of tbo school grounds, while many of tbe lessons taught are being worked out on the farms of the community.

Tbe ideal orchard, that which Is most thrifty and In tbe long run will yield most profitably, is the one that starts with thrifty and vigorous trees that are kept growing rigorously from tbe time tbey are set In tbe ground. Once 'jet young trees get seriously stunted. eltb'eT through lacs of tillage or spraying, and It is imKsslbie fur them tu develop Into what they would otherwise bave Uen. ' It la a mighty good plan to build a nice comfortable home on tbe farm stead In place of tbe little aback tbat has sheltered the family for genera tions, but It Is an easy matter to over do tbe business' and get the house too big, ao that Instead of being a real comfort and convenience It may easily prove a bugbear and white elephant An Institution of this kind is costly to maintain if one has a financial back set, while If one wants to sell such a bouse would be a drawback rather than an advantage. Tbe alfalfa leaf spot, n fnngoua dis ease tbat is doing considerable dam fye to this valuable crop In some sec tions, may be reduced, according to advice given by tbe Kansas experi ment station, by frequent cutting and as complete removal of' tbe Infected leaves from- the field aa possible. In case a field Is badly Infested the i recommendation ia made of burning tbo field over after making a cutting 1 and allowing it to dry thoroughly, Tills meana tbe loss of'-dne cutting.

Perhaps there U no single fuctor lu the training of tbe boy or girl aside from the fundamental traits of obe dience and bouesty itmt will hn.ve more to do with their success In life than the hublt of doing well and thor oughly the task that Is set for them. It is very " for the child to gel Into atloueby"aml disorderly1 "Way of doing things, and when this Is observed the parents should do everything possible to correct IL for unless it ia righted it will crop out In school as well as lu business pursuits, und In housework later on. It takes time und pulns to aid the child lu tbe forming of right bublts of work, but the effort If per sisted In is well worth while. THE POTATO CANKER. The potato canker, a fungous disease tbat ia akin to the potato scab disease, wblcb bus been known in Knglund since 1001, has made Its appearance In Newfoundland, and it seems reason ably certain that, except for most rigid precautions, this worst of potato pests will shortly gain n foothold In the United States. The canker causes the potatoes it Infects to become a muss of warts, losing both their shape and value for either seed or eating pur poses. A characteristic thut makes it most difficult to combat Is that the spores of the canker, once Introduced into a field, will remain there for years and" uot disappear under crop rotation, tf is true of tbe potato scab. Curs Fop Baggy Trousers. "In pressing trousers." aald tbe tailor, "the first thing you want to do. before Ironing In tbe creases, is to take out tbe bagglness at the knees. To do this you turn tbe trousers Inside out and spread each teg on the ironing board, not as you lay them to press tbe crease, but exactly the other way. crosswise, from seam to seam, and then you lay on the damp cloth and press In the usual fashion with the hot I Iron.
