American biologists had been very

his observations showed no lack OF the

AGRICULTURAL HINTS.
SHOCKING FIELD CORN.

Why Serviceable Corn Horse Is q Profit
able Investment.
The superiority of the shocks built
with the assistance of the corn horse
over those set around standing corn l
have repeatedly tested by building the
Two kinds in the same field: and an
other advantage of the former method
is that it leaves no uncut corn to dis
tract the men at husking time. There
is with many farmers firmly-rooted
belief that corn shocks must be made
small to secure ventilation and drying
for the corn. 1t is true that corn will
dry quicker in small shock if the
weather is good. inasmuch as the corn
is nearly all on the outside. But in
September and October there are apt
to be some heavy rains, and with these
the small shocks are beaten through
and through. the fodder is ruined and
the corn is greatly damaged. On the
other hand the shocks, if large and
compactly built, mat their leaves to-
gether on the outside, and, while per-

Hints Regarding the Interior Arrange

The design is to show where to place
the roosts and nests, with the view OF
having them away from the windows,
and keeping the hens warm and com

also be moved in summer to any other

bewildering temptations this autumn
season, for wherever the eye may turn,
there is found richness, novelty and
rare elegance. just enough of the
picturesque element is added to the
newly-opened textiles and garnitures
to make them increasingly attractive.
The materials which enter very large
ly into the composition of the new
handsome toilets and costumes of the
season consist, in a great degree, of
rare combinations in silk and wool, in
mixtures of brocade or MORE and
corded silk, or exquisite lightweight
woods to be made up with satin or vel
vet, plain or fancy in style. great
variety of fabrics in black are brought
out in silk, satin, wool and fancy
mixtures Some of these are in bro
caded effects, while others are plaid
ed. checked or striped.
This season very stylish separate
coats are made, that are not designed
to match the gown in color, still there
is certain harmony between it and
the costume, which it is to complete,
not eclipse. Dark green, dark blue
and black can BE worn almost indis-
criminately with any gown, and with
a little discretion even more decided
colors can be chosen, and always be
made to contribute to the elegance of
the dresses with which they are worn.

The Little White One.

Their fur against her cheek;
" See this one is as black as jet,
And this light-gray is prettier yet;
This has a snow-spot on its breast,
And this. q dappled streak.
" This one in black-and-buff is dressed,
But O." she said and sighed,
While great slow tears began to fall,
i" The one loved the best OF all.
The dearest and the prettiest,
The little white one-diedl
All. from how many a cherished nest
OF human hopes and plans,
Ambitions, friendships. loves, delights,
The dearest dreams Of days and nights.
The brightest and the preciousest
OF woman's life or mans.
Some watching soul has missed the best
Some grieving heart has cried
Over and over, sore bereft.
And careless of the blessing left:
" All me! Fate sna;ched the loveliests
The little white one died."

Who drives the horses Of the sun
Shall lord 1t but a day;
Better the lowly deed were done,
And kept the humble way.

The dust will hide the crown;

That found the common daylight sweet

the lth of June. The present incum-
bents have given rs . progressive ad-

tinue to do 20 in the future. It is i'm
portant that the Council should be
composed Of men who are vitality in
terested in the welfare Of the town.
The present Council haye made sub
stantial improvements, but there 10
still much to be done. The large
grounds surrounding the Town Hall
should be planted with shade trees and
shrubbeyy, walks laid out, ETC. This
should have been done four years ago,
when the Hall was completed. We are
unable to say whether the present MEM
bers are candidates for reelection or
not, but we presume they are. Mayor
Clay Elliott informs us that he will
not run for the ONCE again. 50 It will
be necessary to elect some other citi-
zen to the important ONCE Of Mayor.
There il plenty Of good material to
select from, and We feel confident that

win continue the policy of improve
ment, and labor to promote the best In
