fact it is more likely due to the drying
pollen Is formed to fertilize all the silk.
If there Is either very dry or very
wet time when the tassel should be dis
tributing pollen, these defective ears
will be plenty. Heavy rains in one
case wash the pollen off, and the dry
weather causes the tassel to shrivel
and become worthless. The blossom
ing Is exhaustive. If the season is just
right one-quarter of the tassels pro-
duced would make full crop Of WELL
developed ears. But as in every crop
there are more or less defective ears,
it is unsafe to cut them out. The suck
ers usually tassel later, and for this
reason they often increase the corn
crop on the main stalk after the earlier
tassels have dried up.
Eggs and Young Chickens.
In the twenty-one days that it takes
to turn a perfectly fresh fertile egg
into chick, there is more profit in pro-
portion to the capital invested than in
any other farm operation. So the old
lady was not so far out of the way
when she said she would not sell eggs
under a shilling dozen, or cent each,
because it didn't pay for the hens
time. If an egg is worth one cent, a
lively young chick, newly hatched, is
worth at least six cents, if not ten. Six
hundred to 1000 per cent. profit in
twenty-one days time is not to be
sneezed at. There is another side to
this, of course, when sickness or some
thing else thins off the young chicks,
and their dead little bodies are not
worth even the cent that the egg costs
from which they were hatched. 1t Is
by looking on all sides that conserva-
tive farmers usually called rather slow
are saved from enthusiasm in the egg
and poultry business that have de-
ceiyed and disappointed many who
have gone in without experience and
have come out with more experience,
than they wanted.

Parents and patrons "Uncle William"
desires this week to address few words
TO you. We are now at the season Of
the year when our schools are In good
running order for another winters work
There are in the United States about
thirteen million families who have an
interest or should be interested, in our
public schools. Is 1t your desire that
your child should be made man or
woman instead OF rascal or depraved
wretch? Is it your desire that intel
ligence should bloom upon his face or
the brand of Cain should rest upon his
brow? If you wish TO educate your
child do not saddle the responsibility
all upon the teacher. You can do
much for the welfare of your children
II you devote close attention to their
school life and to those in whose hands
the plastic mind of the child has been
placed for development and molding into
career of usefulness.
The first thing to do is to visit the
school your child attends. This may
cause some little sacrifice Of household
or other duties, but better eliminate
those duties entirely than sacrifice the
child. Nothing can b. more important
than to see for yourself the surroundings
of your boy or girl during school hours.
Observe carefully, speak encouragingly
to the teacher, and, If you have any
complaint or suggestions to make weigh
them carefully and present them to the
teacher or the principal. The time has
arrived when our public school system
should receive more attention from the
parents, and that the position Of the
teacher be more clearly understood.
Instill into the child love for school
work If the child does not like TO
attend school you have either thwarted
his natural desire by over Indulgence or
there is something radically wrong with
the school. Ascertain which IL Is.
| Don't blame the teacher too hard.
Remember that the proper education of
q child should have commenced while
he was in the cradle, as soon rs he
began to notice objects around him and
discover what an interesting world he
was born into. Begin now, take u
deeper interest in the schools, and you
will do much TO awaken the interest OF
others and thus improve our schools
generally.

Bion III. Butler. in a column article

the article thusly: "Twice each year

uneasy over his daily tasks and casting
an anxious eye towards the woods. The
fit comes in the spring time, when the
bursting buds and swelling meadow
brooks tell to the reviving universe
that fish are ready to be caught. 1t
comes again when the sharp frosts of
autumn mellow the air and invigorate
the wild blood that still courses in the
veins of civilized humanity. 1t is not
wholly the inheritance from our savage
ancestors. For along with hereditary

Did you ever stop to think what a
difference there are in the people who
tread this mundane sphere, and how
differently they shuttle off this stage of
action. While one man is struggling
for justice another is fleeing from it.
One man is saving to build house and
another is trying to sell his for less
than cost to get rid of it. One man is
spending all the money he can make in
taking girl to the theatre and sending
her flowers, with the hope of making
her his wife, while his neighbor is
spending what gold he has in getting a
divorce One man escapes all the
diseases that flesh is heir to and gets
killed on the railroad. Another escapes
with scratch and dies with the whoop-
ing cough. One man stands off his
creditors and goes travelling, while
another pays his debts and stays at
home.

upon his shoulders. Among those present
at the place were George Cummings, the
two Van Horns, Claud Clark, George
Black and the witness wife.
Frank Doolittle testified that he resided
at Red Mountain House and was
acquainted with the defendants and with
George E. White and Tom Henley. During
a preliminary trial of Yes Palmer and
"Jack" Littlefeld at Covelo, where they
were jointly charged by George White
with stealing bald-faced mule, he heard
Vinton, Crow, Van Horn, Hayden and
Gregory discussing the advisabiiity OF
hanging or killing Littlefield and Palmer.
They said that If they could not convict
them by law in Mendoclno County they
would hang them.
An objection was made by the defense
to a question in relation to George E.
White, and Attorney Post said that he
would prove the conspiracy was planned
at Whites house, and that White would
be about as prominent figure as there
was in the case before lie got through.
1t was decided to hang Yes Palmer along
with Littlefield, the witness continued. 1t
was charged by Vinton and others that
both had been in the somewhat risky bnsi-
ness of stealing cattle for years and that
they were mo good" Those discussing
the feasibility of hanging Littlefield in
Cevelo at the time were John Crow, John
Vinton, Joe Gregory and Tom Hayden.

be a good scheme?" questioned Oregon

say anything against it -
