Hamllinn Corn In the Ptolk.
Well-earel corn In wry heavy to han
dle. It taken thirty to thirty-live hills
of com to inaku n iitook, and even after
It lini dried out as lunch as It will be
fore winter, such a iitook Is pretty
heavy lifting 011 a high wagon. When
ever It Is desired to clear a Held of corn,
low-wheeled wagoiifi with low racks
should be used. Two men can work to
much U'tter advantage than one, the
one on the ground cutting the hill
nalnst which the stook Is built and lift
ing the stunk from the bottom, while
the one on the load eraxps the top, plac
ing It where he wlshc ou the load, aud
keeping each stook Koarato ns far as
possible. This makes It much easier to
unload. With a low wagon aud two
men not nfruld of work, a large clear
ing can be made In a corn Held by one
day'it labor, and the corn be drawn un
der shelter, where It can lie husked dur
ing weather too stormy or cold to per
mit comfortable husking lu the field.
Halse Clover.
Clover will go a long way toward
making a farm profitable. Think how
many ways It can be utilized -for pas
ture, for hay, for feeding.the .stock or
feeding the land; sometimes serving
the double purpose of feeding the stock
and then going back to the soli in the
manurial product. Fear not raising
too much; it will always find a mar
ket. II i-II lu W'li the licat (Mock.
It Is very dilllcult fur a fanner who
Is Just iH'glnnlug In this business, and
who Hilda all sons of expenses accumu
lating, to make up his mind to secure
only the best stock, no matter what It
cost. Yet If he really understands his
business this is what he will do If his
purchase has to be restricted to a sin
gle animal. Breeding from this he can
soon stork up to the extent that his
farm requires, and his profits on his live ;
stock Increase will be generally greater
than from the growing and sale of
crops. It Is the advantage of the live
stock on the farm that If managed as
It should be, that it will make the farm
pay while It Is being all the time made
richer, ami that thus It will make the
growing of crops ultimately profitable.
Mnnurlns In the Fo'l,
There Is much less waste by fall ma
nuring than Is commonly supiiosinI. If
fresh manure from stables Is drawn;
out as made and spread over the sur- 1
face, the winter snows and rains leno'n
through It, ami whatever soluble for- j
tlllty It contains slowly soaks Into the !
soil, t'liless the surface Is frozen or'
the land Is flooded from running water
coming from almve, there Is never any '
washing of the surface soil to carry off
Its fertility. (n the contrary, the ma-
mire Is much better mixed with the
soil than It could be if left until spring,
when If plowed under the rains seldom
come heavy enough to thoroughly soak
the manure in the soil.
Forest Loves.
It Is very often advised
tural writers to go into the
by ngrlcul
forcsts nn 1
secure leaves for bedding
for horses
and other stock. There Is no objection
to this If other lHthling cannot be easily
obtained. Hut the leaves are procured
with the Idea that they are n valuable
addition to the manure heap. On the
contrary they are of very little value
there, as when rotted down a very large
heap of leaves will make only an In
significant amount of leaf mould,
whose chief value Is In the potash It
contains. Hut In the forest the leaves
serve an Imisirtant purpose, keeping
the soil moist under them.
Great Corn Plate.
Iowa Is the best corn producing
State. There are about 31,ikhi, non acres
of farm land In the State, of which Jd,
000,0110 are Improved, and 1i!,(hk,oihi
cultivated. The average farm con
sists of 1.13 acres; 141.HTU farmers work
their own farms, and .In.'.is" are ten
ants. Farm value Is $l.(t.s0!3.li7H,
with mortgages amounting to $KtS.

gages of less than 4g per cent, of their

When water stands In pools In n
field, drainage is necessary. If t ho laud
Is uneven and the subsoil of stiff clay,
pools will be formed, and remain until
late in the spring. Tile drainage Is
best, as It removes the surface water
by drawing off that below, thus mak
ing the soil more porous, and permit
ting the land to come into condition
for plow ing earlier In the spring.

Gen. Lew Wallace's Stepmother.
The finest iuallty of a great soul Is,
perhaps, that of being unconscious of
Its altitude, and many who think of
others so much that they have time
to think of self but little, would be
surprised to hear their virtues set
forth.
"Speaking of great men with great
mothers." said a well known orator,
"1 think Hen. I'w Wallace was the
most fortunate of all the famous men

The use of bonis of animals for car
rying gunMiwtler was introduced into
America from linglund and I'rainv, but
; the exact date when they were llrst
I used In Kurope Is not known. Certain-'
I lv It was not less than three hundred
1 and llfty yen ago, ns can be seen
I from the dates on specimens lu Kuro
' peau museums.
j Hi'fore Improved guns and cartridges
I were used, the curved horn was the
best device fop carrying gunpowder In
; war time for the use of the muzzle
j loaders and Mint locks, ami the horns
' were used eveu with mime of the later
.guns - those that were tired by percus
sion caps.
J A desirable- horn could be had easily
1 and cheaply. It was oulckly prepared
for holding the gunpowder, 11 ml, more
over. It was strong enough to with
stand the rough usage to which horns
were often subjected, as In skirmish
lighting or making long marches
ihrough the wilderness. The horns
neither rust nor decay, even If buried
lu the earth for a century, and. If the
plugs are properly lilted, the iMiwdcr
will keep dry, although carried for days
In the rain. They can be floated, or
tllppeil In the water, without harm to
jtho powder within, this being a matter
of the greatest imixirtance during the
Colonial and ltevolutloiiary wars, when
bridges were hardly thought of and
armies had to wade through swamps
and streams of water, ofteu up to the
Hocks of the soldiers.
1 11 order ti prepare the hum for the
soldier's use, the ends were stopped by
wooden plugs and were securely fnst
1'iieil to a strap which was worn under
the left n nil ami over the right shoul
der, the curved horn lining the left side
of the waist of the wearer; and a more
graceful equipment could not be de
sired. 1 luring the colonial times and during
the Kevoliltlou, when 11 soldier volun
teered or was ordered out for active
service, he was generally retulred to
come provided with four artlclon, name
ly: gun, powder horn, blankets, and
knnpsack. The (ioverument furnished
'ihe rest of the nccoutreuieuta ami the
oultlt of clothing.
A military order required every pow
der horn to be marked with the own
er's name, so that It could be quickly
returned to ti I 111 ufter being filled at

An old Trick.
The amount of fuu that memliers
have wheu out ou their trlim Is equaled
only by the amount of enthusiasm that
they Inspire by their songs. Coining
up from Jackson the other day, one of
their old Jests was successfully pluyed.
The word was passed around and,
:whcu the brakeman entered the car,
mne member looked at his watch ami,
liot Is-lng satisfied with the result of
the Inspection, asked the brakeman
jwhat time It was. The brakeman no
vommodutliigly told the Inquirer,
whereat the seventy-live members of
the club shouted lu chorus, 'Thank you
.kindly, sir!" The hrakcmnn dropKd
his head and sneaked crestfallen away
amid the Laughter. Pretty soou he
came back.
"Say," said he, "If you will play that
on the conductor, I won't say a word
uhout It."
. The Isiys agreed to It very readily,
and, when the couduotor entered he was
asked the lime of night. He pulled out
lils watch and gave the hour to the In
quirer. "Thank you, kindly, sir!" shouted the
club lu unison.
The conductor wilted and went hur
riedly out. He came back lu half an
hour with the remark:
"iKiyou know what you made im do?
I called Itincastcr, when I should have
called Logan, and my head ain't exact
ly clear yet."
Several years ago, the same trick was
played at one of the meetings. The di
rector turned lu his place on the stage
ami asked if some gentleman would
kindly give them the time, as they had
to catch a train. A man rose In the au
dience, drew forth his watch, doubtless
with a thrill of pride. and told the lead
er the hour.
"Thank you, kindly, sir!" shouted the
boys, and the man sat down as If he
had been struck on the head with a
maul, Columbus I ilspatch.
Tiger and Fish.
An F.ngllshinau at a dinner once told
n talc of a tiger he had shot which
'niciMuired twenty-four feet from snout
to tall tip. F.vcryotic was astonished,
ibut uo one ventured to Insinuate a
doubt of the truth of the story. I'res
eiitly a Scotchman told his tale. He
Iliad once caught n fish which be said
ihe was unable to pull In alone, manag
ing only to land It at last with the aid
of six friends. "It was a skate, and It
covered two aenft." Silence followed
ithis recital, during which Ihe offended
ji;iiglUhinau left the table. The host
followed. After returning he mild to
the Scotchman: "Sir, you have Insulted
iny friend. You must niologlze." "I
dlniia Instsilt him," said the Sint. "Yen
you did, with your two-acre fish story.
You must apologize." "Well," siihl the
offender, slowly, with the air of one
making a great rourossloti, "tell him If
lie will lake ten feet off that tiger, I will
what I can do with the fish,"

be again brought hi 011 the same charge,
for the mountaineer Is prone lo keep
his promise.
A venerable Judge. In whom Judicial
severity Is tempered by a generous ad
mixture of loving kindness and mercy,
and whose humane decisions have
inndo li s name a word to conjure with
among Ihe dwellers In the waste places,
tells a story which emphasizes the
promise keeping trait lu the mountain
character. A hardened sinner of the
stills, whose first and second offenses
were already recorded against him, was
once again brought to book by the vigi
lance of the revenue men. As an old
offender, who had neither promised nor
repented. It was likely to go hard with
III 111, and he begged not for liberty, but
for a commutation of his sentence
whlHi would scud li 1 til to Jail instead
of the penitentiary, promising that so
long as the Judge remained upon tint
benc h he would neither make nor med
dle with Illl. 'It whisky.
He won his case ami was sent to Ja.l
for a term of eleven months. This was
In summer, ami six months Inter, when
Ihe first snows begun to powder th.!
bleak summit of t'hllhowee, the judge
received a letter from the convict. It
was a siinple-hearlcil petition for 1
"furlough" of ten days, pathetic an I
eloquent In Its primitive Kugllsh and
quaint misspelling. Would the goo I
fudge let ii off for Just ten days?
Winter was coming, on, and his wlfti
and children were alone iu the cnblil
nu the mountain, with 110 one to make
provision for their wants, lie would
not overstay the time, anil he would
"certain shore" come back.
Ills petition was granted, and, true
to his word, Ihe mountaineer returned
011 the tenth day mid gave himself up
to the sheriff, lie served the remainder
of his sentence, niul, after his release,
kept his pledge to the Judge as long as
he remained oil the bench. Llppllicolt'tt

there is nothiug to be compared for
moment with the great discovery of
Prof. Kdward K. Phelps, M. D.. LL.
I)., of Daitmunth medical school
Paino'a celery oompound.
If you are out of health or despond
ent because of repeated trials of other
remedies, take a fresh start. The brso
lug weather it in your favor.
Here it the experience like that of
hundreds of others of Mra. Lydia M.
Ilayden, of Marlou, Iud.:
"Uefore commencing the use of
I'slue't celery oompound I wat treated
by many doctors, aud tried many rem
edies, but did not get any better. I
seemed to be all brokeu down. I was
tired all the time, and my oouititutlou
teemed to be giving out
I weighed ouly llSpouuda last fall
when I commenced using Psine't oel
ery compound. Iu lest than two
mon tin 1 weighed 124 poundt, an un
usual weight for me, I have bad bet
ter health ever since, aud have felt bet
ter this summer than I have fur years.
"My little daughter wat away from
home on a visit, and came home look
ing at if alio bad bad a hard tickuest.
I went right away and got her a but
tin of Palno't celery oompound, and the
hat had b.'tter health aluoe than the
ever had iu her life, eatt hearty and
is growiug fast."
There it no woman, who, In juttioe
to herself, can fail to take Paiue't cel
ery compound uuder similar olrouui-tiinoes.
