Enforcement of Corr.

"Uncle Henry WaIlace,is devoting a
good deal of space in his paper Wal
laces' Farmer to the improvement Of
Iowa Corn. He calls attention to the
fact that while the Iowa Farmer has
been improving his live stock for TWEEN
ty years and more he has given very
little attention to the great Iowa crop
corn. Among the many articles which
have appeared in Wallace's Farmer on
this subject has been series by Prof
Shamel, of Illinois, the corn expert
and these are Illustrated by q number
of photographs showing different va.
rieties of corn, perfect and imperfect
ears, the most profitable to raise, etc
The average Iowa farmer thinks he
knows as much about corn as anybody
does but we miss our guess if he can
not learn q lot from these articles in
Wallaces' Farmer.
In this connection we wish to say
that Wallaces' Farmer is one of the
best agricultural papers that comes to

had become weary of us and had aban-
doned the vicinity we all went back
to camp and began to do our spring
housekeeping. This work was great
ly needed, for only the make believe
sick men had occupied the camp in
the last fortnight, and they made the
place look like lot of houses that
had been abandoned to tramps. In
deed. in later days I've been compelled
to believe that the war was the origin
of the great army of tramps that has
invested and infested the country ever
since 1865.
After careful inspection our colonel
decided that the best way to have a
clean camp was to make a new one, 80
he formally asked for ground for the
purpose, but the general said that all
the troops at the post would have to
make new camps elsewhere very soon,
for since our trouble with Longstreet
the war department had determined
that the post was not worth the cost
of holding it. Further, General Hal
leck. the presidents right hand mill
tary adviser, declared that he could
not understand why the post was ever
occupied.
When this information reached us
all of us We're amazed and disgusted.
We had gone out almost year before
to help save the Union. We had spen,
all our time and suffered innumerable
ldiscomforts, privations and fears. Now

that governments, being human, hat

Meanwhile preparations for evacuat

- AAssAS A~So1> VI NAeae Au poIIauCo.
Do you ever wish for book that can
be relied upon to answer correctly all

book that will quickly decide all argu-
ments on all subjects? The 1902 World

airy in the world of words.
This little volume contains over 600
pages of we'll printed agate type, every
line containing some fact that you will
sooner or later want to look up.
The World Almanac should occupy a
prominent place in every progressive
American household. The 1902 edition is
more complete than any of the former
ones. 1t contains facts on many sub
jects that have recently been brought to
the public notice and which every up
to-date person should have at his fin
gers ends.
Among the features Of the 1902 Al
manac are:
The millionaires of the United States,
q list giving the names Of nearly 1000
Americans who possess over 81 100000.
The great American trusts; full particu-
lars of l63 leading industrial organiza-
tins. Organized labor; enlarged sta
tistics of the strength of labor unions
and the present condition of the labor
movement. The Nicaragua Canal and
the Hay Pauncefote treaties with Great
Britain Progress of aerial navigation
in 1901. Complete United States census.
Anarchist statistics of the United States
and Europe, etc, to the extent of over
1000 topics.
