Horse racing was practiced as early
as the days when Troy was besieged by
the Greeks. In the plain before the
city the besiegers celebrated holidays
by sports and horse races, and Homer
says the walls of Troy were covered
with sporting Trojans watching the re-
eult.

In Serving Corn.

Only young and tender corn should be
cooked on the cob. Such corn is known
by its tender skin, and is milky. When
the corn is old, or very large, il is best
to cut it from tbs cob and cook it in
milk, OF make 1t in fritters. Celebrated
cooks disagree as to the best way OF
cooking corn. One will tell you to cook
1t in the inside husks, one toremove the
huslks and to keep the ears in a very cool
dry place until ready to cook. In tho
former case it is cooked until tender

vegetable; that of using butter and

IT the code commission had kept with
in the province intended for it when it
was created, much Of the difficulty with
which the state legislature is now con-
tending would have been avoided. The
commission was simply authorized to re-
write and rearrange the state laws to
make them less cumbersome and more
convenient. The three commissioners
were not supposed to become Legislators
and inaugurate wide and revolutionary
changes in the statutes. Yet this is
what they undertook to do, and as a
consequence there is a contest upon
every section the assembly takes up.
Changes in existing laws are always in
convenient and embarrassing, and should
not be made unless the necessity for
them is past dispute. Very few of the
changes proposed bp the commissioners
should be adopted, and where great
doubt exists, better leave matters as
they are now and rush the work along.
The people of Iowa are getting terribly
weary of this code business, anyway

portunities that exist in them fly higher
and higher and become more and more
difficult to capture. For this reason men
often seek new fields, where the shoot

everything else, one must exercise judg-
ment. He must find field in which

though it were hundreds of miles in ex-

what / am endeavoring to point out
to you, Philip, is that not all new fields
are sure to yield profit. AS a matter
of fact, many are quite barren. A man

The Iowa railroad commission recent
ly requested the railroads operating in
Iowa to make an emergency rate on
corn on account of the condition of the
Iowa corn crop. The commission asked
for special rate on soft corn for ninety
days in order to get the corn to market
before warm weather comes. The rail
road managers however, declined to
grant the request giving as reason that
no good purpose would be served by
such a rate.

l note in your paper that farmers of

is not always cholera, and in such cases
as caused by not taking proper care of
the hogs. For example, allowing too
many to sleep together, o. to sleep
around an old straw pile, which is one of
the best places to produce disease.
around manure piles, or damp low rooted
hog houses which never see a ray of sun
shine, or feeding an all corn ration, or.
last but not least, by not feeding hogs
salt and ashes. 1t would surprise most
farmers to learn how much salt and
ashes bunch of hogs will eat in year.
If you ask your neighbor who is COM
planning Of cholera if he feeds salt and
'ssshes, his reply is Il always throw the
ashes in the hog lot and throw salt on
them," never knowing that he loses the
best of both with a chance of feeding
none at all. The proper way, in my
judgment, is to have box IS 80 and 4
inches deep made out of two inch lum-
Der and staked to the ground. and keep
the same filed with salt and good wood
ashes, half and half the year round. If
your readers that have been troubled

the assertion that they will have better

increased. The synagogue windows were
smashed and the windows of the houses
of Jews displaying German trade signs
IN several streets of the Jewish quarter.
In spite Of the military a large Czech
mob made q descent during the evening
upon the German quarter and plundered
houses aud shops in several streets. The
furniture OF a %well-known German cafe
was piled up in the street and set on fire.
When a detachment of troops approached
to disperse the rioters the soldiers were
greeted with showers of stones, broken
glass md other missiles. The officer in
command ordered his troops to prepare to
fire, blu at the urgent request of a police
official the order was not carried into

In arriving at his opinion Judge Hor-

that there was no intention on the part of
the accused of appropriating the o to
his own use, he held this was no excuse.
The prisoner had admitted during the
trial that he had deposited with the First
National Bank Macoupin County bonds
belonging to the University of Illinois rs
security for his own personal check. The
court held that when Spalding, who was
ut this TIM treasurer of the University
OF Illinois took these bonds he became
debtor to the university for this amount.
His failure to produce them when called
upon made him an embezzler. and there
fore subjected him to the full penalty of
the law. Inasmuch us the money was
secured on the bonds given as security,
the embezzlement was plain to the court,
ana MS decision was in accordance with
the admission Of Spalding himself.

TO IMPROVE CROP REPORTS
statistician Hyde Says the Presen,
System Is Cumbrous.

StsAtAStASiiu 6Suc SuyS the Present
System Is Cumbrous.
The annual report of the statistician of
the Department of Agriculture. John
Hyde, was issued Wednesday. 1t is de-
voted mainly to criticism of the cumbrous
and unbusinesslike crop reporting system
that has been in use in the department
during the last few years. and to reco,n-
mcndations looking to M improvement of
the system.
Mr.. Hyde states that his brief Official
connection with the division has been
sufficient to impress him strongly with the
extreme cumbrousncss of the existing sys-
ten of crop reporting: with the fact that
the information obtained is utterly In
commensurate with the labor involved In
its collection, and with the disadvantage
under which the farmer lnbors in being
paced in possession SO much less prompts
ly than other citizens of the information
which the department publishes from time
to time concerning the condition of crops
in this and other countries.
