rhrilling Adventnre Of a bow.

An Iowa boy last summer passed
through an experience which he will
not forget if he lives to be 100 years
old. He was only 8 years old, and one
day when his father went to the wheat
field to drive the harvester he took him
along and perched him on the high seat
at his side. For time the little fellow
watched the yellow wheat lop over as
it was cut in a wide swath, and the
tall arms sweep it back and bind it, and
finally the fat bundles being tossed aside
For time all this was very interest
ing, but presently the little fellow grew
tired and began to squirm and COM
plain. And then, just as his father was
leaning over to look more closely at
some of the machinery. off tumbled the
little fellow ON the conveyor He shrek
ed just once, and his father tried vainly
to stop the horses But before he could
even slack the speed the boy had been
driven up through the elevator canvas
with half bundle of wheat, the bind
ing Irvine had twisted swiftly around
his neck and legs. and he was rolled out
on the wide carrier, securely bound in
wheat bundle He was almost choked,
and there was a tiny bit of skin torn
from his shoulder, but otherwise he was
unhurt when his father cut the string
and helped him up again. But worse
frightened boy would have been hard tC
find. Chicago Inter Ocean.

Uncle George on Education The Care
of Animals-A Boys Thrill
ing Adventure.

A good education is something every
boy and girl should try to get. The
education may not be the same in ev-
cry instance, but it should have as q
basis reading, writing, spelling, arith-
metic, history and geography. If the
boy is to be professional man-lawyer,
doctor, architect, accountant, dentist
or even Clergyman knowledge of 9th
er languages than his own, higher
mathematics and mechanical art be-
comes a necessity The more he knows
the better prepared he will be for sue
cess in his work The ordinary business
man does not perhaps need an elaborate
education, and yet many of the leading
ones in the country are college gradu-
ates and have never yet complained
that their schooling" interfered with
their making money. The professions
are now open to women. There are
many women physicians, lawyers and
even preachers in both this country and
Europe.
But aside from the fact that educa-
ton is a necessity to every ambitious
boy and girl, it is also an ornament, a
delight to their friends and a personal
charm. You will never be required to
iret over the fact that you are obliged
''to kill time, as some foolish children
TO- The desire to increase your knowl-
edge will send you to book every
spare moment, and you will find it
constant enjoyment and companion
that is always friend to you. If you
think it is hard now to be forced to
study, some day you will be thankful
to those who helped you to obtain that
great gift-a good education.

same height. After this it made
growth of, perhaps, six inches when
frost occurred The tassels began to
sets, the uppermost of which was 0 feet
above the soil The lowest set was eight
feet above the soil. There were nine
who1ls of aerial roots, eight of which
are shown in the cut, the highest being
four feet above the soil The longest
leaves were five feet in length and four
inches in width.
We have raised this variety of corn
for three seasons, and while all other
kinds We're more or less lodged by high
winds not plant of the Mexican June
was broken or bent from perpendicu-
lar position. This is readily accounted
for by it's wonderful root system and
the elasticity and toughness of the
stalks, which resemble so many bamboo
fishing rods. Following are some notes
with which some of our readers have
favored us, which will show how the
Mexican June corn conducted itself
with them:
Charles Macon of Ingleside, N. c.,
writes under date of Sept. 30: II have
two rows of Mexican June corn. The
stalks will average 16 feet in height
some of them IS feet. They have fair
sized ears that 1 think will mature
they are about half matured now. -
Mr.. Benjamin Buchanan of Farming
dale, Ills, as early as Sept. IL wrote
''The tallest stalks of the Mexican June
corn have reached the height of IA feet
and if we have two weeks of warm
weather the ears now showing will
produce seeds that will grow. .
The lower whorls of aerial stems send
out as many tibrous roots as does the
main stem itself, and these unquestion-
ably absorb nutriment from the soil
Hence it is fair to suppose that the
Mexican June corn will thrive in poorer
soils and during severer droughts than
other varieties

MEXICAN JUNE CORN.
Advantages From Its Wonderful Ae-
rial Root system.

ElHl kNOOt SNNtCfMs
The Mexican June is an interesting
variety of corn and The Rural New
Yorker gives an instructive story about
it, in which occur the following items,
with illustration:
A second planting was made the last
week in May. After the plants were
well up all were destroyed but two.
Liberal dressings of nitrate of soda,
sulphate of potash, wood ashes, bone
-four and horse manure were made from
time to time Our object was to find
out how tall this corn could be forced to
grow During the season of 1897 the
stalks grew to height Of IS feet, and
this in rather poor soil under ordinary
field culture. The nodes or leaves aver
aged seven inches apart, the old leaves
averaged about four feet long and four
inches wide. 1t will be seen that such
plants would give an immense amount
of foliage per acre. The following table
will show approximately the rate of
growth from week to week;
