Prehistoric Corn.

George Barnum, farmer living near
Columbus, Neb., has few acres this
year of what is known as the "prehis-
toric corn," so called from the peculiar
manner in which the seed was discover
ed. About five years ago handful of
this corn was found in one of the old
caves in Arkansas in large clamshell,
which time and the action of the weather
had Theoretically sealed. This seed was
taken and planted especially for the seed
and this is Mr.. Barnum's first experience
with it. With only ordinary attention
and without irrigation, this corn grows
to an average height Of Is feet and runs
from two to twelve ears on stock
Biologists agree that the original seed
found in the cave was from 5000 to a,
600 years old, and was no doubt placed
there oy a forgotten, prehistoric racs.
AS rule the ears commence TO appear
on the stock about ten feet from the
ground. During dry weather, when
other corn would curl up and wther in
the hot sun, this would maintain q
bright gooseberry green. Mr.. Barnum
believes it has no equal for withstand
ing a drou ID.

A PROSPEROUS YEAR.


Milwaukee Sentinel: 1t is year of
plenty for the farmers of Wisconsin who
are doubly blessed with large crops and
good prices for their products. 1t is
doubtful if any state of the Union can
offer better general showing, accord
ing to statements of farmers in attend
anee at the state fair. Wheat, corn,
oats, barley, rye, potatoes, apples, to-
bacco are all reported to have yielded
abundant returns and are in demand at
good prices. The farmers are feeling
unusual prosperity and have money to
invest in permanent improvements on
their property. This is the best news
received from the agricultural interests
in many year and should promote the
prosperity of all business men in the
state, to marked degree, inasmuch as
the natural effect will be to cause a great
increase in the purchases made by the
farmers. The merchants and manufact
urers will both benefit by the stimulat-
ing effect of increased trade and there
is likely to be no lack of employment
this year for men who are willing to
work. 1t is especially gratifying that
the year of 1898 should prove so pros
porous for the people of Wisconsin, as
it provides the most satisfactory cele-
bration of the state semi centennial that
could be imagined. Nothing could
more agreesbly set off the state thar
the large returns received by her citiz ems
for their labor.

AUTUMN SONG.
BY BOB o'LINB

BY BOB O'LINk.
To live in such an hour as this
October's mellow morn
Is but to reach lost Eden's bliss
With Eden's love newborn.
To climb the russell hills and II Get
The dewey sunrise fair and sweet
To run along the glowing sands
With nimble feet and clasp of hands,
Tell me, 0 true-love, can there be
A fairer heaven for you and me?
The birds, abandoned to delight,
Fit where the branches Irvine.
And dew drops, gathered by the night,
lmpearl the bending vine.
The purple pales to deeper dawn
That sheds its gold or lake and lawn,
And down the valleys silver mist
Descends in waves of amethyst
o tell me, heart-love can there be
A fairer heaven for you and mep
And best of all-aye, best of all
Tn voice OF love supreme
Gives Dswer where ne shadows fall,
And where the waVerH gleam-
For love that throbs from soul to soul
Transfigures life ana warns the whole,
Nor time can change, nor years can chill
The loyal heart that loves thee still
Tell me, o true-love, can there be
A fairer heaven for you and me?
