The chances are that corn will be high priced next July and August, be- lieves C. C. Cunniughatn, assistaut in co-operative experiments in the Kansas State Agricultural college. He be- lieves that atony farmers where the corn crop was short to 1914 will tied the planting of a few acres of early corn profitable this seasou. , Growing a quick maturing variety of corn for early feed is sometimes a good practice. The farmer who is out of grain and has to buy high priced corn may cut clown expenses by growing a few acres of early corn. An early variety plitnted as soon as seasonable conditions will permit will produce feeding corn from three to tire weeks before the heavy yielding varieties of corn are ready to feed. • The larger growing, later maturing va. rieties of corn normally grown usually outyield the small growing, quick me - 4,44,4 44 ..ttJ1nsr,t �tau>.x<,s»•.tdeY .oiifs;,s �)�, fZ' ,F` ,,ly$.vi •i PB77.E CABS OF CORN EXHIBITED IN ILL1- NOIS BROW. turing ones because of the longer grow- . ing period of the former varieties. A considerable increase in yield must be obtained to make the growing of early corn tinder these conditions more profit- able than planting the entire core acre- age to the varieties usually grown. Ordinarily in eastern Kansas n stand- ard variety of Kansas corn, which ma- tures in 115 to 125 days, will oetyield a ninety to uinety•tive day corn ten or more bushels per acre, and on the average the growing of the larger varieties pays best because of the larger yield. It is only when the July or August price of corn is abnormally high and the following crop targe, caus- ing a decided decrease in price, that the early corn plauting practice is recommended. The usual practice In bbtaining seed of early corn is to get it from the northern states. Early corn bas to be grown in northern states because of the short season. In western Kansas a quick. maturing variety of corn is necessary becnuse of the low annual rainfall. Acclimated varieties of corn grown In western Kansas are hardy land vigorous growing. The indications tare that these enrly varieties of west- ern Kansas corn are better suited to eastern Kansas conditions than varie- ties similar in size and maturity from further north. Winter Wheat and Spring Wheat. The Indiana experiment station (cen- tral Indiana) finds that spring wheat yields half to two-thirds as much grain as winter wheat on the same soil. The time to seed is as early as possible, the quantity about six pecks per acre. i• t, i VALUE OF COVER CROPS. +1.+4,88+ 4.3+44.70 .1..1.D+k+. I. n A blanket of cover crops is needed in every orchard at least half the year. An old orchard on sloping land, which is inclined to grow heavy wood on the trees at the expense of fruit bear- ing, needs a thick cover crop, such as common red or mammoth clover. In some successful orchards alfalfa has been used, and, though it is not gen- erally regarded as a desirable orchard cover crop, there are instances where the alfalfa in an old orchard has been pastured by hogs and has proved an advantage for a year or two. It is then ttftned under and the orchard cul- tivated, clean for a couple of seasons, with winter cover crops of crimson clover Or vetch.

"In justice to humanity I want to tell you that 1 was a great sufferer from thing piles, and have found Dr. Chase's l intment the best treatment obtain- , ble," writes Mr. Fred Hinz, Brod- hagen, Ont. ',It gives instant relief and I can recommend it to any sufferer from this dreadful disease," WINDS THAT WHISTLE. - The Sounds Come Only When the Air Waves Meet Resistance. Did you ever notice that although you may feel the force of the wind when you are out in it, you do not hear It whistle unless you are close to a building? This is because the sound is produced according to the same prin- ciples as apply to the production of the tones of a pipe organ or any instru- ment on which the tones are produced by blowing. In order to make the whistling sounds we hear from the wind it is necessary for it to blow against some- thing. That is why we bear it when we are in the house or some other building. The whistling is caused by the wind blowing past the sharp edge of some obstacle in its well or finding its way through small openings offering some sharp edged resistance. If you blow through a long tube or pipe you will prodnre no sound, but if there is an opening with a sharp edge near the end where ,vou blow the blow- ing will cause a distinct sound. It is on this principle dial all small whistles, organ pipes and wind instruments of 111) orchestra are iinirle. Another way in gliitt the wired pro- duces sounds is le blowing against ob- jects which vihrete. .>, curious In- stance of this Is the humming volume of sound produr ea by the wind blow- ing through a group of telegraph wires and which tna,o he noted. even when there is not a greet force of wind, by placing the ear aig-•e'er u telegraph pole. --Boston Herald.

I've sat beneath the tree, Upon the school -house playing ground, which shelter'd you and me, But none ware there to greet me, Tom, and few were left to know, That played with us upon the green, some twenty years ago. The grass is just as green, Tom,—bare- tooted boys at play Were sporting just as we did then, with spirits just as gay; But master sleeps upon the hill. which covered o'er with snow, Afforded us a sliding place, just twenty years ago. The old school -house is alter'd now, the benches are replaced. By new ones very like the same our pen- knives bad defaced; But the same old bricks are in the wall, the bell swings to and fro,— It's music just the same, dear Tom, as twenty years ago, The boys were playing some old game beneath the same old tree - 1 do forget the name just now; you've played the same with me. On that same spot; 'twos played with knives, by throwing so and so, The loser had a task to do, there, twen- ty years ago. The river's running just as still, the willows on the side Are larger than they were, Tom, the stream appears less wide; But the grape vine swing is ruined now, where once we played the beau, And swung our sweethearts—pretty girls—twenty years ago. The spring that bubbled 'neath the hill, close by the spreading beech Is very low,—'twas once so high that we could almost reach; And kneeling down to get a drink, dear Tom, I started so, To see how much that I had changed since twenty years ago. Near by the spring, upon the elm, you know I cut your name,— Your sweetheart's just beneath it, Tom, —and you did mine the same; Some heartless wretch hath peeled the bark,—'twas dying sure, but slow, Just as the one whose name we cut died twenty ago. My eyelids had been dry, Tom, but tears came in my eyes, I thought of her I loved so well —those early broken ties; I visited the old churchyard, and took some flowers to strew Upon the graves of those we loved some twenty years ago. And some are in the churchyard laid— some sleep beneath the sea, But few are left of all our class, except- ing you and me; And when our time shall come, Tom, and we are call'd to go, I hope they'll lay us where we played Just twenty years ago. GET OUT AND WALK. (Toronto Star.) The death rate,after the age of forty is said to be increasing. The Washing- ton Health Bureau makes the assertion that the expectation of life after fort is less than it was thirty years ago, The explanation put forward from the same source is that a larger percentage of people in America are leading sedentary lives—do not get enough open air, do not walk enough. Men ride autos. in street cars, when they ought to climb stairs. Too many men break up or break down about the age of fifty The remedy as suggested in the bulletin issued from Washington is: "Take daily exercise. Have a hobby that gets you out of doors. Walk to your business, to your dressmaker, walk for the sake of walking. Join a walk- ing club and keep your weekly score of miles. Keep chickens, make a garden, wheel the baby, play golf or any other game, but take two hours' out -door ex- ercise every day. Gymnasium work is good for those who like it and can afford it, but avoid heavy athletics. Don't try to be a 'strong man'; the champion athletes die young. Be a moderate, persistent, daily exponent of exercise. You may not burn the family carriage, as Benjamin Franklin suggested, but as he advised, walk, walk, walk!" The auto gives the man who uses it plenty oi; fresh air. It takes into the open country, along lake shore drives, into the wind and the sun for hours at a time, people who otherwise would get very little of these beneficial changes. But the auto does not give one much exercise, except on bad roads, and these one learns to avoid. Watching baseball matches is exciting and gives the mind a change if not a rest, but -there is not much physical exercise in it except for a few demonstrative fans who spring to their feet and wave their arms as if they were swinging clubs., The sug- gestion that a man should play golf for a couple of hours every day is one for which, we feel sure, many Toronto men will feel grateful to the Washington health authorities for advocating and to The Star for bringing to the notice I of its readers. Golfers will regard the advice as excellent and will follow it if they can. Lawn bowlers; too, will feel that they owe it to themselves to avoid the sedentary life and take the healthy exercise on the club green that will save them from swelling the precentage of those who lose health after the age of forty from too close confinement and too little exercise.

Organized Originally by Frederick William of Brunswick, Napoleon's Deadly Foe, the ,ramous Body of Cavalry Fought Its Way to Renown. The curt refusal of Napoleon 1. to allow Frederick William, duke of Brunswick, to butJ the body Qf BIS exiled father iu bis native land lusi,tr- ed the organization of the Death's Ilertd hussars, the Most'faiuous regi - meat in the present German urmy. Deeply moved bythe ungracious act of the despotic Napoleon, 'Frederick William, after his first paroxysm ut indignation and rage had subsided, vowed eternal vengeance against the French conqueror, and until the day of his death, which was June 16, 1815, on the field of Quutre Bras, be was Napoleon's most implacable foe In all the German states. Brunswick being barred to him by the victories of the relentless French invader. Duke Frederick William re- paired to Bohemia after his father's death. He was without funds, but through the efforts of his sister, then princess of Wales, English funds Pound their way to him, and he was enabled to set•on foot the plans he had formed to revenge himself upon his enemy. All Germany was then under Napo- leon's foot. His armies bad swept away all opposition. Prussia, Brunswick, Bavaria, Saxony, all the states were mere vassals of France. But though conquered or subjugated their hatred of the oppressor was Intense, and un- derneath the surface a fire of hatred smoldered, which the duke helped to fan into the blaze that eventually sent Bonaparte to St. Helena. The duke announced himself as Na- poleon's foe. Men flocked to bis stand- ard. He organized and equipped 2,000 cavalrymen and, in memory of his father, clothed them in/black. A silver skull and crossbones adorned their hussar headdress, and tbe silver lace slashings of the jackets were placed to resemble the ribs of a skeleton. "The Black Brunswickers" they were , called. With the gallant duke at their bead they legan tt guerrilla warfare that was a continual worry to the Frencb armies. Von Stein, Scbarn- horst and others gave them secret en- couragement. Thropgb Saxony, Hesse and Hanover the troopers gobbled up and put to the sword French detachments. Recruits flocked to them. At Berneck the duke gave battle to the French General Ju - not and whipped bim. All Germany thrilled at tbe romantic accounts of the daring of the terrible "Black Hus- sars." A Saxon army was whipped at Zit - tau. and another force at Halberstadt. A regiment had grown into an army, the only one Napoleon's troops could not corner and whip. The duchy of Brunswick was invaded and the French garrison alarmed Leipzig was Surprised and captured. rP Until the battle of Wagram the duke and his hussars rode over Germany at will. That 'victory gave Napoleon more time to devote to them, and the duke was forced to flee to England. But the "Black Hussars," with the death's bead on their caps, continued the war- fare arfare in scattered bands. They were welded into a brigade in 1814 and, as a part of a division in the allied army commanded by the Duke of Brunswick, rode Into Paris after Napoleon's down- fall. They fought again during the hun- dred days. The Duke of Brunswick did not,.live to see Napoleon's complete humiliation. Be died on the field of battle while trying to rally some re- cruits who started a stampede at the first French fire. The fame of the hussars had reached Bach a point that the organization was Continued in the Prussian army. To- day its colonel is the crown prince of i Germany, and among its officers are princes of a dozen reigning German families. The regiment presents a splendid ap- pearance on parade, its picturesque uniform, of which the skull and cross- bones on the headdress are the most 'striking attractions, imparting to the dashing cavalrymen a sinister and startling effect.—Kansas City Times. Could lot Bend Down On Account of Backache. Mr. J.

I learn- ed about your pills from your Almanac, and I bless the happy hour I thought of buying this medicine. One time druggist persuaded sae to buy 's Kidney Pills, saying they were just as good, in fact he guaranteed they were. I yielded to his advice, and what was the result? I had bearing down pains in my back for two days, so I took the balance of the pills unused to the druggist, and told him to give me Doan's Kidney (tills as they would stop the pain in 12 hours at the outside.
