The following from the Wheaton
Gazette Reporter may be of interest to
farmers in this vicinity to avoid smut
ty grain in the future:
"a farmer. in this vicinity reports a
circumstance that is worth investigat-
ing. He sowed wheat this season on
three quarter sections. On Two ofthe
quarters he put the seed in with a
drill, using seeder on the other. The
wheat from both quarters where the
drill was used contained quantity
of smut, while that from the land put
in with the seeder was entirely free
from it. This may be merely an &C
cident, and again it may explain the
presence of so much smut in wheat
this season, as drills are mostly used
in the Northwest, and this is the first
wheat season we have had since they
came into general use.

THE RISE AND FALL OF A SWAG-
GER CYCLIST.

Yes, he was cyclist merry,
With dashing presence-very,
And the pretty girls were fluttering
AS up the road he flew;
For with many jolly maiden
Was this seaside cottage laden,
And all with rage were muttering
That men were far and few.
All logged out in golfing breeches,
With a dash bespeaking riches,
He had charms enough to capture
Any maiden that he chose;
And that pair of calves gigantic
Would have driven Samson frantic,
For they stirred the males to rapture
Oaite as much as his gay clothes.
All! each calf was like column
Of some Grecian temple solemn,
In Observation-Disclosures stocking
That would drive a bull stark mad;
And the way that admiration
Turned from men of rank and station
Was matter almost shocking,
Or, to say the least, was sad.
But the second day. while speeding
On the Boulevard, and leading
Ali the pretty maids a-flutter,
On their wheels so fleet and light,
With coa1-cart he co1lided,
And upon his ear he glided
For some distance down the gutter,
And, by Jove he was a sight!
Up he sprang, all torn and tattered.
But that would not much have mattered
If one stocking had not burst,
Sawdust streaming in the wet,
And the other calf stood bullying
At his ankles, thus divulging
Secrets that he did not thirst
To make public, you can bet!
Mid derisive sneers and laughter,
Down the street he hustled after
That sad accident, and early
That same evening took the train.
Now those maidens are most wary
When pair of calves so very,
Very warrior-1ike and burly
Claim their homage there again.
