HANDLING CORN FODDER.

-----
An Iowa Farmer Describes How This Ii
Done In His Section.
I With the corn harvester is the cheap
est way to cut corn. Cutting ought to
commence when the corn is leaving the
milk stage and be continued over Pc
Rod Of about four weeks. During the
first week the cutting should not be
from more than space eight hills
square, and this put in the shock will
not be so apt to mold, but as the corn
becomes ripper then the shocks may be
made from the cuttings Of ten hills
square. Ml, d.. - ..,, 81 ~. I'd
/, The cutting is very simple matter.
Both men should step or behind the
harvester with their loads Of corn and
set them together, and while one holds
the, corn the other ties the top Of it with
q Irvine string. A ball of Irvine should
be carried along with each harvester,
and with a sharp knife it can readily be
cut the proper length for each shock.
We continue through the field in this
manner and then cut around the shock
until it is finished. The twine should
be drawn very tightly around the shock,
for this will be of great advantage when
handling the fodder afterward.
In good corn five to six acres day is
q fair days work for two men, if the
shocks are carefully set up and tied
We estimate about % acres a week.
With . little practice with the harvester
it is easy to>handle corn in this manner.
The harvester should be set with the
front board a little higher, SO that the
knives will cut slanting. This will in
sure better work, and the cutting does
not jar the harvester. Shafts should be
used for the horse to assist in turning
the harvester around and also in keep
ing the horse away from the knives.
The writer, an Iowa correspondent Of
The Prairie Farmer, uses the Scientific
harvester, which is set on wheels, and
which is the best he knows anything
about Any one can see that this man
ner Of harvesting corn is a great i'm
provement over the corn knife and much
more exDeditious. -

II ID only year q two ago since the
country was thrown into excitement by
the announcement that man named
Frank Melbourne had discovered q
method Of bringing rain ont Of clear
skies. TO the farmers Of the western
prairies thenews was especially crafty
ing. as they had so often suffered from
drought that means Of supplying arti-
fetal moisture was Of the greatest i'm
portance. In spite e the warnings Of
men of science that the man was an i'm
postor many villages and towns paid
considerable sums Of money to Mel
bourne and his imitators, expecting to
be favored with refreshing showers. It
is true that in some cases it did rain
after the rainmaker had sent up bal
loon with dynamite and had set off some
gases out of q machine which he carried
around in Q wagon, but in the great ma
.jority of cases no rain fell, and the peo-
pie lost their money Even when it did
rain no sensible man believed. that it
had been brought by the bombardment
of the air, and now Melbourne confesses
that he cannot and never could make
rain, saying in recent interview:
There is no such thing as making rain.
The American people like to be hum
plugged. The bigger the humbug the
easier they are duped.''
Another set Of charlatans are now
travelling through the south and west
engaged in trying to fool the people,
into believing that wealth will be rained
down upon them if they will only elect
"a free coinage congress and president.
PETER, Bland, Stewart and "Coin" are
preaching doctrines that are just as silly
and as much opposed to natural laws as
were those Of the rainmakers. 1t is not
strange that people who could be delud-
ed into thinking that quack could make
rain should believe that debasing the
measure Of values would make more
wealth. But fortunately they are in the
minority, and the intelligent majority
will never consent to be made the VIC
Tins of such foolish schemes. The new
rainmakers are making lots of noise and
sending up plenty free coinage gas, but
they are only laughed at by the men Of
sound common sense. Let the quacks go
on, but don't waste any money on them.

and fell dead. His brother, 10 years old, and
Ida Mink, IL years old, ran out the front
door screaming. Allen followed and fired,
shooting the girl in the spine, though per-
haps not fatally. He then shot himself in
the heart and when the neighbors, alarmed
by the little boy, came in, the men were
lying dead in adjoining rooms. The boy was
too frightened to tell what started the quar-
rel, and the inquest will not be held until

VERY EASILY KNOCKED OUT BLAIR.
High School Boys Struggle the

High School Boys Struggle on the
GridirOn and Council Bluffs Wins.
The Council Bluffs High school foot ball
club went to Blair, Neb., yesterday after
noon, for the purpose of trying conclusions
with the team of the High school of that
place. The game was an interesting one, in
spite of the fact that it was all one way.
There was not pound Of difference between
the two teams SO far as weight was con-
cerned, but Council Bluffs had decided ad-
vantage in point Of science. Blair won the
toss and chose the south goal. Council
Bluffs kicked of, and at once lost the ball
on downs, Blair worked the ball back to the
'thlrty-nveyard line, when Council Bluffs re-
covered it. Will Pardey OF the Bluffs team
made a touchdown by end runs, but no goal
was kicked. The first half ended with the
ball within five yards Of the Blair goal.
The second half was begun by Blair kick
ing off. The ball was returned to the fifty
yard line and Council Bluffs took it and by a
series of end runs Will Pardey scored another
touchdown.
Blair kicked off again and the ball was
returned to center by Bob Daley, who made
a fine run Then Flammant took it around
the end to within five yards of Blair's goal
line. Mather made a touchdown and Bob
Daley kicked goal.
Blair kicked off, and the ball was returned
to the forty-five-yard line, when Council
Bluffs lost on downs. Blair made gain of
fifteen yards by criss cross work, but lost on
downs. Ounce Anderson, the left tackle for
Council Bluffs, got hold of the ball and made
a run of siXty-five yards, which ELECTED ap
p!ause from the grand stand, scoring a touch
down, thanks to the good interference by
Warren Daley.
Blair kicked off again, but the ball was
gradually worked back to within five yards
of Blar's goal line. Five touchdowns and
three goals kicked made up the sum total of
Council Bluffs earnings, SO that the score at
tho close of the game stood 26 to 0 in favor
of the Council Bluffs team.
The boys returned home last evening, ar
riving at the corner of Pearl street and
Broadway about o'clock. They made the
welkin ring with the yell for several minutes,
letting the general people know that they

Topeka, Kan, Nov. 23.-The politicians

will cut off the opportunity to get about the
state at no expense. The railroad COM

Governor Morrill, and Auditor of State Cole
led off by refusing to approve of the prac-
tice of charging railroad fare when passes
have BEEN issued. While 1t may not rid the
railroads of the pass evil entirely, 1t opens
