good deal of space in his paper Wal
lacss' 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 Wsllsce's Farmer on
this subject has been series by Prof.
Shamel, of Illinois, the corn expert,
and these are illustrated by 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

A Horse. Revenge.

yenge on brutal driver is reported
from Rennes, France. The horse was
dragging heavy load of bricks from
a kiln at Lormandiere to Rennes, and
the carter hardly stopped flogging him
oil the way. On reaching Rennes the
driver was embarrassing when the
horse bolted down the street. He al

of the people standing round, who had,
nevertheless, the greatest difficulty in
getting the horse away from his vic
