A Hint on COrnhusking.

Use a horse to pull over your corr
shocks. Take a rope about eighteen
feet long, attach one end to the single
tree, carry the other end around the
Sock and fasten to singletree also. See
that the rope is around the shock about
twenty inches from the ground. A
of the horse will bring over
the shock. With a boy to lead the
horse and handy hitch to the rope
you can average a shock a minute and
have it in much better shape for husk-
ing than when torn down by hand.
You can in this way pull over a days
nusking while the dew is on, and the
.o0der will be damper for husking
