From conversations with farmers we learn
that much of the corn il UNIT tor seed. some |
of II was spoiled by remaining IN the field All \
winter. and some OF II by heating IN the
cribs. Unless care is used in selecting seed, |
II will be impossible to secure "A good stand |

corn. and only the grains from the middle OF |
the cob. The butts OF the ear ana the ZIP |
where the grains are small or badly formed, |
make poor seed. Most farmers Know this,
nut some do not exercise enough care.

Independence Courier, 80.
During last evening while two ladies were
waking along Main street, near FriedbeTg's,
one OF them 'umbIed and fell TO the pave
ment. A gentleman named Jones, fIom Bur-
iington, a man who knows more about gall
lantry than he does about old cellars md
sidewalks in Indeuende ace, was walki z be-
hind the ladies and rendered his assist tnce.
In doing SO he lost his ba!ance and tell head
long into the cellar excavation just west of
Friedberg's, falling distance of six feet and
landing in about six inches of soft mud.
Though the man ESCAPED uninjur-d he wa>
in a sorry looking condition. The place Is
dangerous and a railing should be put up.
