At the first peep of dawn on
Christmas morning, a. whispering
could be heard, and soon little white
clad figures in bare feet came pat-

moment the exclamations of joy and
glalness proved that once more
Santa had shown how mucle he loved
he little ones, and how much he
deserted their lore. The stockings
wvere bulging with delights, which
little hands quickly emptied out; and
then, oh then, began the squawking
of ducks, the squeaking of dolls, the
blairing of trumpets, the piping c f
whistles and the beating of drums.
At breakfast, father and mother
were quite as happy as we children,

To secure thoroughness in plowing
the corn should be cut as low as pos-
sible and, if planted in hills, a disc
should. be run lengthwise of the sows
to tear the hills apart and thus make
burial of the stubble easier, or better
still a plow should be run shallow
just beneath the stubble to throw it
out, then the field harrowed and then
Plowed six inches deep or deeper.
This makes a perfect job
The best lcind of plow to use is a
broad -furrow single plots without a
tvheel but with a skimmer and, if the
stubble is long or there are many
weeds, with a heavy chain.
In plowing ruts the last furrow be-
fore the stubble rote as close to the
stubble as possible and about an
inch deeper than the other furrows so
that the stubble may be flopped over
into it and buried more deeply.
Plowing may be done in fall or
spring but never when the ground
is. too hard to do a good job.
The value of plowing, no matter
how thorough, may .be largely spoiled
by dragging up the stubble later
when cultivating. Hence a disc
should always beused for this pur-
pose instead of a toothed implement
and disc drill substituted, of possible;
for the other kinds •iu sowing,
Rolling the ground before cultiva-
tion is a benefit because it drives the
stubble deeper, .firms its and thus pre-
vents its being dragged up so easily.
A hoed crop should never follow
corn because the cultivation neces-
sary would drag up the stubble.
In severely infested areas dent corn RAZORS
should be preferred to flint because
it has a stronger and stouter stem
and does not break :down or dry oute
