AS shock OF corn cometh in in his season
Job ", %
Going at the rate of 40 miles an hour
few days ago caught this sermon.
If you have recently been in the fields
of Pennsylvania, or New Jersey, or
New York, or New England. or any of
the country districts, you know that
the corn is nearly all cut. The sharp
knife struck through the stalks and
left them all along the fields until
man came with q bundle of straw and
twisted few of these wisps of straw
in to band, and then gathering up as
much of the corn as he could compass
with his arms. he bound it with this
wisp of straw. and then stood it in the
field in what is called q shock.
1t is estimated that there are now
several billion bushels of corn stand
ing in the shock, waiting to be huslzed.
Sometime during the latter part of
next month, the farmers will gather,
one day on one farm, another day on
another farm, and they will put on
their rough husking apron, and they
will take the husking peg. which is
piece Of iron with a leather loop fast
sned to the hand, and with it unsheath
the corn from the husk and toss it into
the golden heap. Then the wagons
will come along and take it to the corn
crib.
How wildly to all those of US who
were born in the country comes the re-
membrance Of husking time. We
waited for it as for gala day of tho
year. 1t was called a frolic. The
trees having for the most part
shed their foliage, the farmers waded
through the keen morning air to the
gleeful company. The frosts which had
silvored everything through the night
began to melt off the top of the corn
shocks. While the farmers were wait
for others they stood blowing their
breath through their fingers, or thresh-
Ing their arms around their body to
keep up warmth Of circulation.
Roaring mirth greeted the late farmer
Is he crawled over the fence. Joke
and repartee and rustic salutation
abounded. All ready. now! The men
take hold the shock Of corn and hurl it
PROSTATE, while the moles and mice
which have secreted themselves there
for warmth attempt escape. The
withe of straw is unwound from the
corn shock, and the stalks, heavy with
the wealth of grain, are rolled into two
bundles, between which tina husker
sits down. The husking peg is thrust
IN until it strikes the corn, and then
the fingers rip Off the sheathing of the
ear, and there is crack as the root of
the corn is snapped off from the husk,
und the grain, disimprisoned, is hurled
up into the sunlight.
The air is SO tonic, the work is 30
very exhilarating, the company is 80
blithc, that some laugh, and some
shout, and some sing, and some banter,
and some tease n neigh Dor for q roman
tic ride along the edge of the woods in
an evantide, in u carriage that holds
but two, and some prophesy Us to the
number of bushels to the field, and
others go into competition as to which
shall rifle the most corn shocks before
rundown.
After awhile the dinner horn sounds
from the farm house, and the table is

HOW CATARRH PASSES INTO THE
BRONCHIAL TUBES Lesson No. 5
Copyright. 1897, j. c. McCoyl

Copyright, SSI, J. Z. Mccoy
In this climate the most common ex-
tension Of Catarrh is from the throat TO
the bronchial tubes. In its passage from
the throat there comes a period OF hoarse-
ness and huskincss of the voice. announcing
its entry into the deeper structures This
Condition, while seen in persons OF every
age, in the youn gest Child, in the older
Child, in the youth and adult, and in old
age, is more frequently met with In Older
people, and the reason is apparent when it
is To ken into consideration that those OF
advanced years have had more time for the
disease 10 spread from one part TO another.
The extension of CataTrh into the
bronchial tubes, is, at all times, se1ious,
serious in the first place because the
presence of the CatarTh serves 10 render
the lining OF the great air carriers, the
bronchial tubes, imperative n large

Catalrh narTOws these pasSagewayS and
prevents a free current OF air getting TO
the lung cells Further, the extension into
the bronchial tubes must ever he a seliot.s

who suffer from severe coughs, which

from Bronchial Catarrh The cough Of old
people, so commonly noticed, is usually the
cough of Bronchial CatarIh, and the pres
ence of Catarrh in the Bronchial tubes IN
such persons, narrowing up the channels
of these tubes as it does, accounts for the
shortness of breath on the slightest ex
ertion Further, the attacks Of coughing
that accompany Bronchial Catarth are
worse toward evening and during the
night Coming on as they Go in raIoXysuIS
