BILE authenticated incidents prove this.

st. Louis Globe Democrat, you will see
these dusky rascals lowering about, or
strutting at a safe distance, till the dig
ger has thrown aside a clam too small
for the market. Watching his chance,
the crow will pounce upon it, rise to

that in some sort of way they preserve a

The Way in Which Prairie Farmers Har-
vest Their Corn.
The Iowa farmer does not cut his
corn and haul it to the barn. With
one or two hundred acres he finds it
impossible 10 do any thing of the kind.
He simply finishes his blowing and
digs his potatoes. letting his corn
ripen on the stalk. Then when the
time comes, the farmer drives afield
with huge wagons. The ears are
husked from the standing stalks and
thrown into the box. which holds from
fifty TO sixty bushels Sometimes this
husking time lasts for weeks, and
winter is well at the door before it is
concluded. The description of a bleak

A DESIRABLE AMENDMENT.

Almost simultaneous with the intro
duction in the lower house Of congress
last week of a measure to change the
time of the beginning of the new ses-
sion of congress, and also the beginning
of the presidential term, from the first
Tuesday in December and fourth of
March. respectively. to the first of Janu-
airy, the senate adopted resolution,
without opposition, to submit an amend
ment to the constitution fixing April 30
instead of March as the date for the
beginning of the presidential and also of
the congressional term of service. The
change is a good one, not only because it
takes the Inauguration festivities cut of
the Indictment season, but it will make
the ''short term Of congress long enough
to enact needful legislation without I'M
due haste.
The new amendment to become a law
must pass both houses by two-thirds
majority, and must then be ratified by
the legislatures Of twenty-siX states. If
the lower house acts upon it as promptly
and favorably as the senate has, it will
be possible for it to become law in time
for Mr.. Cleveland to get the benefit of
the addition to hiiterm. This would be
of a piece with what is called his luck. =
1t would also make the Inauguration of
the centennial president" a part of the
centennial celebration of the adoption of
the constitution and of the inauguration
of the first president.
The constitution at present does not
fix the date for the Inauguration or for
the beginning of the congressional term,
this being arranged by statute provision.
Washington was inaugurated for the
first time April 80, 1879, but congress. in
1892. changed the date for succeeding
inaugurations to March 4. thus shorten
ing Washington's first term nearly two
months.
