A young doctor, novice in Lis pro-

novice with the gun, was out after
hare, and after he had missed several
shots the old keeper said:
Let me have a try. I'll doctor 'em."

Droupht After Planting Corn.

We used to hear farmers complain
that on heavy clay soils which often
turned up cloddy in the spring it was
hard to make corn grow if a dry time
followed planting. Such land should
be fail plowed, and thus let the clods be
pulverized the following winter by
freezing and thawing. If the ground
has been properly mellowed and pre-
pared, dry weather following corn
planting is a great advantage. It is
the dry soil that is always the warm
soil, and corn is of all the grains a
lover of hot weather in it's early growth.
Too hot and too dry in fall may injure
the crop. But in spring, if the ground
is otherwise in right condition, dry soil
is an advantage. 1t will have enough
water to swell the seed, thus compact
ing the earth around it better than can
be done in any other way.-Ameriean
CuItivator.
