have avoided making 'mills' aboutthe stalks.

The experiments of the "Wi scon-si- n

station have demonstrated, ac- -rding to this bulletin, that the

shallow culture, leaving the fieldlevel, is the best; and that a loss ofthree or four bushels to the acre iscaused by the old method of deepcultivation and the hilling up ofthe plow and hoe. They have alsofound that "listing" results in a.decrease of 10 per cent in the yieldfrom that following the old methodof thoroughly stirring the soil andplanting in the usual way.

In making these thesame neid was used, - alternat-ing rows being subjected to thedifferent treatment so that therecan be no question of the conditionof soil.

Mr. Ruskin has written a letterin reply to the question, "Oughtparents to leave a fortune for theirchildren?" He says that parentsought to educate and maintain theirchildren until they reach maturity."Damned modernism," he adds,"eats its children young. "Whenthey are strong, throw them out ofthe nest, but let the nest be alwaysopen to them. No guilt should everstand between child and parent.The doors should be always opento a daughter who ;s a harlot or ason who is a thief, if they return.but no fortune should be left tothem."

Obituary Poem.The country editor dreads obitu-

ary poetry, and it is natural thathe should, but he has to publish iIf he refuses to do so he will havetwo or three indignant subscriberswho will want their names takenoff the books, and his rival acrossthe street will profit by his misfor-tune.

A reallj- - good obituary poem is a .

thing that is rare. Nine-tent- hs ofr ,the rhymes that follow a funeralare the worst sort of rot; but thdwriters generally think they arevery fine. When a person dies, one!of the afflicted mourners feels it hisduty to write some verses, and hedoes so; and then it is published ,and read aloud to everybody whowill listen, and it becomes a sort ofa, public nuisance. Here is a versethat was written after the death ofa little girl; it was one of fourteen,and is republished here without thechange of a letter:

Dearest Mabel, you have left us;Death occurred at half past eleven.

The angels came to meet her -At the golden gates of heaven.

The writer of the above is an oldKmerchant in a little Nebraska town.It was the first poem he ever wrote,and he actually thought that it wasa gem. The editor to whom it wasgiven for publication says that theold man read it aloud with tearsstreaming down his face, andbought about a hundred copies ofthe paper containing it.

Obituary poetry and cards ofthanks ought to be abolished. Theyare an imposition upon newspapersand a blow at the dead, who can'tdefend themselves. Walt Mason.
