It is sight good for sore eyes to look into the ccrn crib on the farm of A. W. Fairchild and son, Arthur D. Fairchild. These thrifty farmers raised about 33O bushels of Pride of the North corn on two acres of land and 220 bushels of the White Cap variety on an acre and a quarter. The Messrs Fairchild prefer the Pride of the North, as the kernels are large and the cob small. This is the first season they raised this latter vsr'. ety. The best of 1t Is their corn Is all husked and in the barn and there will be no cold fingers az the result of working till November. These gentlemen believe in fall blowing and now that the corn Is husked and the stover in the barns, they are in 8 position to attend to it.

SOMETHING OF VALUE.

There is no "patent" about the John W. Masury Railroad paint nor are there any secret processes. Any one having [ he requisite amount of capital and pro- per machinery can make just as good paint provided the right disposition is there. This disposition is what is lack fng. It has been the disposition of the Mssury company to always make as good an article of paint as it was possible turn out regardless of expense and it Ia due to this same disposition that 1t is 8 fact that more Railroad Paint is used in this section of country where it is known for the last 30 years than of any othe r paint - Harry Rider, 444 Water street, Bridgeport.
