BUFFALO BILLS RETICENcE,

but that cannot be. as he is very un'

Tangling up . grizzly is an exponent
of prowess in the west. and all the
world knows the prowess OF Bufaio
Bill. late chief Of scouts, United States
army. But Bill is getting old. Honors
lie in heaps on him. His gray locks are

crazy grizzly on Cortland Beach. and ou

him up." He declined. .'Im getting toe

"See here, Cody, I'll give you 80 yards
and turn the bear loose on you. But
Bill continued to say he was too old.

A great deal has been said regarding

matured scws that are bread but once
q year are too fat bv farrowing to do
their owners much il any good. Breed
your aged sows during June, have them
farrow in October or last OF September,
and by the middle OF December your
sows are in excellent breeding cond..
tion. And the pigs, IL you give them dry
quarters, change bedding mt least once

vancod Ideas.

Twenty years ago / worked for .
practical old farmer who always had
a good reason for everything ne did.
When / began blowing he said: Il
want to give you u little instruction in
corn cultivating, and want you to
remember every word OF it. for You
know am getting along III years, and
If anything should happen to me You
will have the making OF this crop.
"This corn must be cultivated four
times. The first and second times you
must send the shovess Of your cultivar
tor we'll down. Go slow and cultivate
five to six inches deep This will kill
the weeds and loosen Up the soil, let
ting in air and sun-heat. and giving
the millions Of rootlets q chance to run
through every inch OF the soil and get
the strength they need The second
and third times you so over it drive
right along and get the shovels OF the
cultivator to run not over three inches
deep. At this time the soil will be
filed with the corn roots, and you
must be very careful not to cut or
break them. Do you understand?
informed him that / did, and the
35-acre corn field was cultivated exact
ly rs he had instructed me. The land
was good, black prairie, and the yield
of the entire field was IN average OF
tax bushels of first-class corn per acre
That was 30 years ago, and it taught
me q lesson I never forgot, and ono
that has enabled me to grow some corn
as good rs any that is found In my
neighborhood.
Last season the Illinois agricultural
experiment station made = series OF
exhaustive experiments In corn culti-
walton, which proved that my old em-
ployer's practice was correct in every
particular. The lesson, coming MS 1t
does from an authoritative source,
will have a more far--eaching effect
on the methods of cultivating
corn than the practice OF one
or two farmers who are comparatively
unknown. Farmers will heed the in-
structions OF scientific cxperimenters
when they would not for moment
listen to one OF their own number who
had experimental merely for his own
benefit.
II was formerly the practice in this
locality to ridge the corn rows up At
least four inches high, and it was the
Arm belief OF many that fair crop
could be grown By no other method
/ But . man came in from the northern
i part of the state with IN outfit Of shall

Ing the electrocution OF Nelson, spent
several hours in the penitentiary on
Thursday. He conversed with Officer
Bakers murderers, who are in prison
for life. Bob Curry is foreman of the
clothing repair shop, and is model
prisoner. Doc Jones is working un-
der Joe McAvoy in the tailoring de-
partment, and is a bad man. He was
recently reduced to the third grade
and denied many OF the privileges ac-
corded to good prisoners. Jones had
managed to secret a razor, files and
other implements in his sell. He is
already figuring on Communication Of
sentence, and asked Aif what chance
he would have with petition in Bow
ing Green. ALI told him he thought it
would be very slim. Harry Davis is
in the buckle shop, and by working
overtime manages TO make enough to
support little son, who Is now in CO.
lumbus. All OF the men are in good
spirits, and Jones appears much
healthier than during his incarceration
here. He has been unable to smuggle
morphine into the prison of late.-Sen-
