How to XIII Ground MoIes.

Ground moles. aside from the dam.
age they do to growing plants by lift
ing them or disturbing their roots
are rather friend than an enemy.
They are insectivorous, and il is in
searching out grubs and cutworms
that they make tunnels. These tun-
nels are merely traps, into which the
worms fall and are picked up by the
mole in his rounds. Persistent
tramping in of his runs will drive
him TO parts of the garden or lawn
where he will do no harm. However,
if he must be killed, it can he easily
done. Open his tunnel, saturate some
waste with bisulphide of carbon, put
it into the hole, and cover with dirt.
The fumes will permeate the whole
system of tunnels, and kill all animal
life there. Don't poison grain he
won't eat it. i. Irwin, in Farm
and Fireside.

HE GOT THE FLAG.
Fearless Act OF a Union Soldier at
Lays Ferry on the Esta-
nauIa River.

"Some years ago." said the Major
in the Chicago Inter Ocean, Capt. a.
Morris told me OF the exploit Of
man in the SiNty-siNth Indiana that
l have often thought ought TO 90 into
history. just after the battle of
Resaca Gen. Rice was sent with his
brigade TO take possession of Lays
ferry, on the Estanaula river. Nov
ing toward the river tie command
crossed high ridge from which they
could see across an open field and the
river the enemy's works. As soon as
the union brigade occupied the ridge
the cOnfedcratCs opened with a bat-
terry, and Gen. Rice ordered Morris TO
take six companies Of the SiXty-sixth
Indiana, deploy them as slirmishers,
advance to the river and try 10 ST.
lence the battery.
THE sllirmishcrs were halted near
a fence by a terrific frontal fire, but
made a rush and reached the river
bank Norris went to the left and.
TO his surprise, found that because
Of a sharp bend in the river three
of his companies were on the flank
and almost in the rear Of the con-
federate works. He directed his men
to open an enflading fire on the enc
my, and the confederates, believing
that a union force had crossed the
river below them, began a retreat.
THE confederate flag was planted
on the breas tworks, and many at
tempts were made by the men at
lacking in front 10 capture il. Tut
every man that exposed himself was
shot. While the firing was still hot,
one of the men of company ! said:
Boys, I'm going to get that flag
And, throwing Off his accoutrements,

across, climbed up the bank 10 the

CORN BELT SOAKED.
Drenching Rains Fail In Five states
md Revive the Dying Crops
md Hopes of Farmers.

Chicago, July 29.-The great drought
In the corn belt is broken. Drenching
rains, falling steadily for hours yes!
terday and last night, redeemed the
parched fields and in large section
the grain from the whitening sun and
winds OF the last 40 days. The clouds
broke over the southwestern states
early yesterday morning and the rain
came down in torrents in places and
in drilling continuous showers i'm
others. Weather officials and crop
experts agree that the dry spell is
gone.
Continued rain is predicted for to-
day and probably Tomorrow through
out the entire corn belt except i'm its
extreme western portion and south
ern Indiana and southern Ohio. The
temperatures have been lowered gen
orally in the corn region, as yeSter-
days reports show them encouraging
~ reduced.
The corn crop Of Iowa is saved, and
in other western states. where the
stalks have been fired and hope aban-
doned for a harvest. the rain has as
surcd a big crop of late feed. This
will mean wonders for the stock rails
ers and will check the sale Of stock
materially. The rain was general
throughout Iowa, Illinois, Missouri,
Nebraska and Kansas.
Chicago. July 3O.-Rcports Of 1000
experts TO the Record-ITerald are that
the drought has cut the corn croD
one-third, but that the wheat harvest
will be the greatest in the nations
history.

MIX for Growing Chicks.

Poultrymen who own COWS and have
surplus milk have a decided advantage
over those who do not. Mix is both
food and drink. and at this season is
especially beneficial TO the growing
birds. \ safe way to supply it is to
heat it scalding hot, and when it has
cooled let them drink as much a they
want within an hour in the morning. 1t
should then be disposed of and the ves-
sci cleaned. Rotten milk is little bet
ter than poison.-Farm Journal.

Two stalks In one Place.

Corn is usually too thick, and while
good crops are grown every year
with three and four stalks together
in one hill, yet such thick planting is
sure to tax the plants for moisture
should a dry season occur. If farm
ers will plant four feet apart each
way, allowing not more than two
stalks in a place, they will get fully
as many bushels as with three stalks
