il blew my hat all of a sudden from my

Pretty soon, it did not come near the

river. The horse would not go. however,

to get the horse out into the stream | gave
it up. and then thought that 1 would wade
out and get the hat myself. 1t was close to
the bank and the river did not look deep.

stream, and then in an instant L knew what

the 'gangrene' was found also in the
wounds of the stomach wall. The peri

be no evidence that at any time was there

and apparently no leaking occurred.
How shall we account for the "gangrene"

the suppOsition that such a bullet was used
was probably due to the fervid Imagination

My method is to go into the field the lat
ter part of September or the early part
of October and select the very choicest
ears. These are placed in a room or bin
where they will not be exposed to damp
ness, rats or mice. The ears are usually
strung on wires and allowed to remain
until a few days before planting. The un-
even kernels are then removed and the
ears run through a shelter. when the seed
is ready for planting. Throw out every
ear lacking good size and uniformity. 1t
is very necessary to guard against the raw
ages of mice and rats, although it is some
times difficult to do so. Sometimes instead
of going through the field l select my corn
from the wagons when the men are unload
ing at the cribs. L tie the ears together
with a cord or wire and hang them up to
dry. The only difficulty in this plan is that
when men are husking by the day or bushel
they do not like to assist in selecting. Dur
ing the last eighteen years l have used a
cellar where L can hang 1900 ears from
wires fastened to the joists. This cellar is
free from dampness and has given excel
lent satisfaction.

Corn and Poultry.

Western Poultry News.
The fact that the corn in Nebraska and
the other Western States in the great corn
producing belt is going TO be barely more
than one-thirG of a crop is not an occa-
sion for any loss of sleep on the part of
those engaged in the business of poultry
raising. Corf, as a rule, should cut but
very little figure in the need of poultry.
The wheat crop in the West is not only
abundant, but and at present
writing We know of several farmers who
are feeding wheat to their stock. The
farmers of the West should come to rely
more upon poultry as a means of helping
out during times of drought and crop fall
ure. The experiences of some of our West
ern farmers, which have been related to
US, convince us that during the great panic
and drought of 1893, 1894 and 1895 the poultry
of the West was the salvation of more than
one of them. Requiring little 10 subsist
on, poultry during these trying times fur
nished something that could be turned
into cash w~herewith the necessities of ex-
istence could be purchased. Surely many
of them have not forgot already the les
sons learned during that time.
