We note that a farmer in Missouri

The year 1901 gave us the biggest
wheat and peach crop on record ana
widespread and savage drought in be-

Taking the prevailing price Of farm

land is worth 500.
A hen will lay, all told, about 400
eggs. If well cared for, she will lay
$50 of these by the time she is eighteen

It is claimed that cut flowers, If

In olden times the husking bee was
much priced farm frOlic. When the
boys found n red ear they were given
the privilege of kissing the girls and so
1t came about that the boys were more
particular than they are now about
fixing the seed corn In the spring Of the
year.
There has been so much corn cut up
for fodder this year and there will be
so much shredding done that local
surgeons should be prepared to treat
an unusual number of mangled arms
and hands. Or, we will put it this
