Corn Is King.
Indianapolis Corn Miller

Indianapolis Corn Miller
1t is prominently king this year. All expectA-
tions are more than fulfilled. The indications
from the start have been that We would have an
unusual corn crop The wheat was not up to
the average and need il. Business in tho
corn States is unusually good or indifferent. &C.
cordipg as the corn crop is great or small This
year we beat the record 1t is more vigorous
than it has been in the past for some years.
Heavy corn is freqsntlv inclined to lay down.
That is. when the yield Is heavy; said a promi-
nens dealer . man of wide experience in crop
judgment, corn will stand perfectly straight and
hold itself 10 good condition until next March
without being taken in. IL will DO . difficult
matter TO corner the corn market this year.
There is too much Of it, The recent wheat
corner was developed from the fact that the
surplus was small and with this narrow margin
the market will be whip-sawed all around be-
tween now apd the new crop year. The signs
of the times point that way.

habit, tine farmer ono day seized the gander just

proceed upon his voyage of discovery.
As had been expected. this bait
caught the eye of a greedy fish. which swallowed
the deadly hook and not only arrested the
progress of the astonished gsnder but forced
him TO perform half dozen somersets on the
surface of the water. For some time the strue-
gle was most amusing, the fish pulling and the
gander screaming with all its might, the one
attempting to swim away and the other to fly,
the gander at one moment being ducked under
the water. and at another casting a rueful
glance at his snow-white company, who csckled
out their sympathy for their afflicted captain.
At length the gander proved victorious and,
bearing away to the nearest shore, landed on the
smooth green grass one OF the finest fish ever
caught in fresh water.
