Whatever method you may adopt in
the handling of the shocked corn, do
not leave it out in the field until the
snow is piled up two feet in depth
around the shock, for if you do you
will wish that you had never cut up a
hill. Nothing wears on mans piety
more than to have to handle shocked
corn when the butts are frozen into the
mud and snow.

We know of several men who will
harvest thirty-fiye or forty bushels of
good corn to the acre who should, if
they don't, feel real miching over the

trust Providence just little bit when
fellow has done his level best.

One reason why the south does not at
tempt to raise its own corn is the great
difficulty in keeping the corn when
raised. The moist, warm fan and win

isiana will mold and spoil.

A reader aHXiously inquiries whether
1t is any worse for farmer to go off
on a Sunday excursion than it is for
him to say at home and stone his
neighbours chickens. Passing the ques-
ton of the sunday excursion, we will
simply say that it is a strictly pious
duty to stone the chickens if they are
scratching up your garden. This
chicken business is enough to make
the most sanity old deacon fall from

We note that the old trouble in the
matter of tying the shocked corn is
just as common as ever this fall. The
shocks are tied too low down, leaving
the head spreading and fuzzy to catch
the rain ana spoil the corn and fodder
also The well put up shock should be
a cone when settled. Nearly half of
the fodder was spoiled last year as a
result Of this careless and improper
method of tying the top of the shock.

MISSOURI will be so years state

Missouri to the union was, indeed, a
memorable affair. 1t was the first
nota BILE incident in the series of con-
tests over the slavery question which
first excited, and in the end, con-
vulsed the country. The Missouri
compromise was the opening panacea
for the struggle. as its repeal was the
signal for doing away with all COM
promises on the subject. Massachu-
setts' feeling when this compromise
was proposed was strongly against it.

instead of strengthening colonial
loyalty to the crown, has left behind
disappointment and ranking disgust.
The colonials had arranged great pop
ular welcomes to the duke, as befit-
ted their democratic communities.
The people hoped to shake the young
dukes hand and wish him good luck,
but all their desires to meet him were
thwarted by the rigid observance of
court etiquette. The people could
but worship at the foot of the noun
tain with the duke at the top, while
even the high officials of the colonies
were admitted to the sacred presence
only after the most elaborate cere-
monies. The duke soon realized that
the free Australians resented this ex-
clusiveness, and cabled King Edward,
asking that he be allowed to relax
somewhat in his treatment of the
coloniaIs. King Edward, on the ad-
vice of the cabinet, replied that he
was to abate nothing of the ceremony.
Hence the Australians and New Zea-
landers are smarting at being treated
as subjects unfit to meet royalty.
