1t is not wise to take seed from a
locality where it has obtained alOcal
reputation for being a superior ar
ticle unless climate and soil are
nearly or quite the same. At the
present time there is a large demand
for seed corn that has obtained IL
fixed pedigree. There is also gem
eral impression that two varieties
planteditOgether will so fertilize each
that a larger crop can be obtained
than where one variety alone is
planted. At the same time it Is
decidedly the best for the farmer to
obtain for seed the best corn he pos
Sibly can in his Immediate vicinity.
Let him select the best twin ears
and one of the two, which is gen.
orally the upper one, and not an ear
that is not well tipped out with per-
fectly formed kernel. In this way
the farmer may obtain superior
corn indigenous TO his own farm.

She Wanted 10 Break His Heart but

His name was Moses Sparrow.

such big blue eyes, such sl0ping

enjoyed herself very much until she
grew tired OF it, and then she deci-
ded on breaking the heart she had
won and enjoying the crash. So
she turned him out in the garden
and made him sit beside her on the
bench under the wistarias, and said,
sadly:
Ppm going home next week. l

Then she waited TO see him drop

some Facts AbOut Newspapers.
.Tnited slates Economist.

United States Economist.
By some unaccountable misappre-
hensiOn of facts, there is large class
of people in the world who think it
cost little or nothing to run Il news
paper, and if they buy copy Occa-
siOnally they are regular patrons
and entitled to unlimited favors'
Men ask for copy of a newspaper
for nothing, who would never
dream of begging pocket handker-
chief from a dry goods store, or
piece of candy from cOufectiOner,
even upon the plea of having done
business with them once before.
One paper is not much, but thirty
or forty at each issue win amount
to something in the course of time.
But this is a small drain compared
with the free advertising a news
paper is expected to do. Some peO-
pie when they once pay for an adj
vertisement think they are stock
holders in the establishment for eter-
nifty. Without being represented
in its advertising columns we have
had people request us I o gratuitously
insert this notice, or draw attention
to this article, with the slight sug-
geStion that sit will not cost YOU
anything to put this in" which is
just as ridiculous as to ask man to
grind your axe ON his grindstOne,
and graciOusly tell him it won't cost
him cent, 1t takes money TO run
newspaper as well as any other
business; no paper can succeed finan-
cially that carries dead-head sys-
tenn. Any mention of peoples af-
fairs that they are anxious to see in
print is worth paying for, and when
printed is generally worth as much
as any other investment of the
same amount.
The newspaper business is very
eXacting on all connected with if,
and the pay is comparatively small;
the prOprietOfS risk more money for
smaller profits, and the editors, re-
porters, and printers work harder
and cheaper than the same number
of men in any other profession re-
quiring the given amount of intelli-
gence, training, and drudgery. The
life has its charms and pleasant as
sOciatiOns, scarcely known to the
outside world but it has its earnest
work and anXieties' and hours of
exhaustion, which also are not
known to those who think the bus
ness all fun. The idea that news
paperd0m is Il charmed circle, where
the favored members live a life of
ease and free from care, is an idea
which should be exploded. Bust
ness is business, and the journal that
succeeds is the one that is run on Il
square business footing the same as
banking, building bridges or keep
ing hotel.

balancing the Books.

AT the end of last year, when an
Ohio bank chashier could not make
his books balance, the president sat
down with him and said:
"Mr. SymOnds, it is evident that
you have made a clerical error
somewhere"
"But l have verified my figures
over and over again." protested the
cashier.
"Just so, but yet you have over
looked the error. According to
your books this bank is $700,20
Short
Eyes, sir"
"And according to my private
memoranda you are a S400 trOttipg
horse and "a $500 diamond pin
ahead while the rats probably ate
up the 20 cents. Please correct the
error and furnish clean balance
sheet"
Mr.. SymOnds isn't a bank cashier
any more. His health was so bad
that he had to have outdoor en-
plOyment.

Splendid Joke ON his wife.


Dave Cloudy is one of the dryest
jokers in the world, and he had just
as soon play joke on member of
his own family as not. Dawes wife
is a friend of his, and so she is SUBJ
ject to his Jokes. She hates Indians,
and always locks the doors when
she sees the beggars who camp
around Beaver Dam coming toward
the house.. Dave knew this, so he
hired an Indian to go up to the
house and get in, with pass key,
and beg a pair of Daye's old pants
of the good wife, which she would
glanly give to get rid of him, and
then offered the Indian half dol
lar if he would go right into the
parlor and put the pants on. Dave
thought 1t would be a splendid joke
on his wife, and he got Il drugstore
man named Griffis TO go with him
and watch the fun from a distance.
The Indian got in the house, and
when he asked for a pair of old
pants the good lady saw through
the joke, and gave him Dawes
Sunday pants, and he went in the
parlOr ahd was going to put them on.
This was too much for her.. and 81 e
went to the kitchen and got Dip
per of hot water. Nobody knows
exactly what occurred, but Dave
and Griffis suddenly saw an Indian
come out of the front door, with one
leg in pair of black doeskin pants
aud the other pants-leg dangling in
the air, and the Indian yelled as
though he was in pain, and he
pulled out for the camp up the lake
about six miles. AS he passed the
two gentlemen the Indian said:
"Squaw heap spunky. Ugh! hot
WATER" and he was gone. Dave
went home and asked what the
news was, and found that he was
out pair of Sunday pants, in the
pocket of which was So in money,
and his wife says when he wants to
send his friends up TO the house for
any more pants to do so, by all
means. She will be at home.

MHArrHE UIKCus nIn.

We were a quiet and sober set,
Little accustomed 10 noise and fret,
Decent and modest at work or play,
And on so proper in every way,
Before we went TO the Ctrcusl
Nobody ever had seen us go
At all too fast, or at AL too slow;
No matter how gaily we talked or sang,
We never had used word of slang
Before we went to the Circus
We went 20 church, or we went to school,
By the very most orthodox kind of rule;
And rather phlegmatic in temperament
Until we went to the Circus!
Alas and alas tits woful sight,
The way we are changed at the time write,
Father Is swaying against the breeze,
Hung by his toes from high trapeze,
Trying to copy the Circus!
Are riding wild horses on each high chair (;
Or down on their backs on the sidewalk
brick
Are balancing tubs for n juggling trick;
And the girls have painted hands and face,
And got themselves up for an Indian race,
AS they saw them do at the Circus !
Mother high up ON the table stands,
Swinging the baby with both her hands,
Swinging the baby with many rub,
And brandishing him like an Indian club (;
While Daby himself in a terrible fright,
Howls like Zulu from morn till night,
Since We went 10 the Circus!
Alas and alas! l can only say,
I wish in the night, wish in the day,
l wish with my heart, wish with my head,
wish with my ears which are nearly dead,
| wish with sort of mute despair,
/ wish with a SHREK that rends the air.
We never had gone to the Circus
