The wheat harvest is progressing as
rapidly as it is possible to push it.
The yield will be very heavy indeed.
Many fields will make above 40 bushels
to the acre. Complaint is made that
the wheat is so ripe and SO heavy that
it skaters badly. One man tells us
that in his fields the waste is three OF
four bushels to the acre.

There was much complaint of Supt.
Stryker's questions a few years ago
but although his questions were diff
cult they were sensible and not sim
ply catch questions. Some of the
physiology questions in the list yester-
day require the scientific names of
little unimportant bones and even the
processes on these bones. If that isn't
carrying the catch question business
to extremes it is simply because it is
republican administration that pre-
pares the questions.
An Artistic Lie.
A story is being told of Kansas
farmer who caught a chinch bug. He
fed him poison, cracked him in the
doors and froze him in ice. The bug
always came up smiling a fendish
smile and looking at the man with a
SardOnic eye. Finally he carried the
bug to q foundry and dropped it into
| a ladle of melted iron. Then he went
of chuckling. Fifteen years after
wards his wife broke a skillet she had
been using for some years and that
nearest road to aeorntield.-Manehes
