DUMMERSTON,

The usual practice among the farmers
in cutting corn, is to bind together from
sixty to eighty stalks of corn and call 1t a
''shock," sometimes "pike," but COM
monty "stook." In the item of news
given to the reporter and printed last week,
the bundle of stalks was called pike, he
called it a stock and the printer a stalk.
Which is right? A shock, or stock, is a
bundle of sheaves, 1G or II in number, of
oats, wheat or rye, but corn is not included
in the definition. 1t matters very little
which word is correct, but in the item OF
cutting corn, as printed last week, if it
takes two men one minute to cut stalk
of corn how long would it take them to
cut a shock and how many days would il
require to cut one acre?
