May Search Buggies.

Deputy game wardens have the right
to search buggies driven by persons
suspected of killing game illegally.
This is the view of Attorney General
Douglas, who was consulted by tele-
phone from Cambridge. Two strang-
ers drove into that town with guns in
their buggy. They had evidently been
hunting chickens, and the warden
wanted to look into the buggy. They
ordered him away and made such a
demonstration that he decided to as
certain how much law he had on his
side before making the search.

New Corn: Old Seed.

At Lake Minnetonka is growing s<.ne
Indian corn which is of interest to all
agriculturists, and to other people as
well. The corn is the second crop from
some seed discovered two years ago bv
a Chicago man, who was exploring a
mound in Colorado. The corn was
sealed up in an earthern jar, and was
probably hundreds of years old. From
this corn the Chicago man raised a
crop with ears as long as mans fore
arm, and stalks IL feet high. He dis
tributed the seed, and some came in
to the possession Of John S. Dodge, of
the Washburn-Crosby company. Ell.
Forester, who obtained some of the
seed from Mr.. Dodge, has an excellent
stand of the corn at his home at Oromo,
Lake Minnetonka, the stalks now
being higher than his head.
