The plan of going through the field early and picking the seed in a sack, is sometimes sdvecated. but on 'mest farms this is too muck of an un- dertaking.

As a consequence the furrow slice dries out, | and the growth of the youug corn plant is checked. A disking before plowing will cut up the stalks and provide a fine layer which will fall into the bottom of the furrow and help In soils that are liable to bake, each day's plowing field at night. A little work at this | time will prevent the formation of clods and save ten times as much trou- ble trying to pulverize them later. Three or four additional harrowings will usually put the spring plowing into first class shape for planting. It is better to check than to drill when growing corn for grain, as it can be kept cleaner, with a resulting larger yield. For fodder or silage drilled corn gives more tons of dry matter per acre and is more easily In some river. where the soil is light and rain- fall scanty, listing gives the best re- sults. The number of kernels to use per hill depends upon the richness of the sofl. On the average corn belt soils | three kernels per hill will give the best results. Very rich sofls can support four, while on poor soils two are enough. It pays both in looks and in ease of cultivating to drive straight while planting and te take pains to have the rows check straight cross- wise. Cultivation. As many barrowings 'as possible should be given the corn between planting time and the time it comes up.

If any deep cultivation is to be given it should be the first two times over, be- fore the sofl is filled with corn roots.

Nine thousand nine hundred and fifty girls out of every ten thousand are sacrificed to our method of edu- cation, according to Katharine ton in Woman's Home Companion for July. Out of every ten thousand girts who enter our primary schools amly fifty go to college, yet every one of the ten thousand is prepared for cotlege. The nine thousand nine hi fifty who will be wage-earners i home-makers are entirely neglected. For example, says Miss Beglesion ""Helen's school has not m 'work popular, so to-day Helen has several, ideas firmly tise Ale in het brain. First, education offers a sure escape work the most mental. Second, the woman who has an income of her own is more independent than the woman' who makes a home for a man who pro- vides the income, therefore she is to be emulated. Third, the simplest method of acquiring one's own income is to seek work in the commercial or industrial world. Sun Cooking. 8un cooking -- roasting and boiling by sunlight instead of coal or gas--' has been going on for 300 years. There are sun stoves that roast a sirloin or boil a soup to perfection. They are only used, however, by scientists. A sun ftove consists mainly of a mirror, a spherical mirror, on a joint. There is also a reflector. The place for pot or plate is su situated that the mirror's rays can be focused on it accurately. 'A , Baron . was the first sun cook. He began in 1687 to boil water, and in 1688.he had very good success in boiling eggs. 8ir John Herschel and Buffon are oth- er famous names with sun- cooki In California various sun cooks have boiled a gallon of water in twen- ty minutes, roasted méat in two hours, and poached eggs in fifteen minntes-- quite as good time as the ordinary fire makes.

At the first opportunity puzzled Mrs. Bennett inquired into the matter. "Boy's" asked she, "how in the world did you manage to use six pounds of butter on only four loaves of bread?"
