The majority of the Iowa Supreme Court
seems to be owned by the corporations
They have just decided that when II rail
road employe gets killed or hurt clearing
snow from the track, the company Is not
liable for damages. The case was that Of
fireman, Albert Bryant, on an engine sent
out to buck the snow, The engine at the
head of q train was run into snow bank
at the height of its speed, was thrown from
the track and the fireman was Instantly
killed. The railroad company was sued
for damages by the widow. The case was
tried in the circuit court of Linn county,
and the Judge instructed the jury to find
for the defendant. There was appeal to
the supreme court and it affirmed the de-
cision below. Two of the judges dissented
from such monstTous piece of injustice,
with strong statement of their reasons for
dissenting. The men must take their lives
In their hands and execute the orders Of the
company or be dismissed, and if injured in
what everybody knows is an extra hazard.
Gus undertaking, the court says the compa-
ny is not liable The decision Is mon
strous piece of injustice.

f. M. IIungerford, of Iroquois county,
gives his reasons for leaving the husks on
seed corn He says: " | am grain deal

have had with their seed corn during the
past three or four years, has induced me to
make dilligent inquiry into the cause, and
think have found it in the removal of

thoroughly and absolutely dry, needs protec
ton from severe cold, and in all cases from
rain, snow, misty, f0ggy winds, steam from
other grain--in short from everything that
will dampen it, 1t has often been found
that grain taken from the east side of n

while that from the west side would fail
Some farmers bury their seed corn in oats,
thus protecting it from severe changes in
temperature This has proven etfectual if
both oats and corn is dry Others dry their
seed corn thoroughly by the kitchen stove
and then lay it away in the house, or some
wellbuilt uthouSe. This is all right if
the corn is gathered early but is source
of much Inconvenience, and is often i'm.
practicable for the want of room. All far
merS have noticed that ears of corn left in
the field until spring, will nearly always
grow If the stock remains standing, and the
husk is perfect on the ear; while that gath
cred early in the autumn, husked and hung
up in nice airy place las they thought
in good shape, has failed completely. This
shows that seed corn needs protection, and
that nature has provided the necessary gar.
ment, and that we must learn TO let nature
alone. My advice is for corn growers to
90 into their fields as soon IS the crop is
thoroughly ripe, nerer before, snap off the
best ears what Is needed. and some for la

While the following from the La Sale
Times may not be pleasing to the friends
of higher education In the public schools,
there are statements contained therein that
will be found difficult to controvert
"There is some talk among interested par
ties of having German taught In our public
schools The board of education can
hardly entertain such thought. Life Is too
short to teach all the languages and ologies
already permitted by law, and our public
schools were not instituted nor organized
for such purposes We believe good
common school education consists in good
knowledge of the English language, and a
few of the sciences which will enable peO.
pie in after lite to read, write and cipher
with accuracy and usefulness. If pupils
would give more attention to a knowledge
Of reading grammar, history, arithmetic,
book keeping and the other useful sciences
an. less to the languages and ologies, they
would make more useful citizens and prac-
teal men and women. We have too many
educated ornaments In society already. If
we have German taught In our schools, why
not Irish or Polish 2"

into the livery staole at its usual gait Al

Owing to lack Of adequate drainage, Or
to an unusually wet spring, it often happens
that oats cannot be sown rs early as they
should De. \ late sown crop may occa-
sionully yield a fair return Of welllilled out
grain. If hot and moist at time Of healing
out, the chances are very slim indeed for a
crop. Rust is almost sure TO strike such
late grain just as it is heading. If allowed
TO stand after rusting, the whole thing is
lost il is good for neither fodder nor grain.
The only way to realize anything after rust
first strikes it, is TO cut and cure it for fod.
der; it then makes one of the finest feeds.
Mich COWS will yield immensely under
such feed. There may be less heart in
il, but for granted mich cows it is prefer
able to timothy hay. The grain is usually
right in the milk when cut in this way, and

the same as grass, in cutting and curing.
