What became, of the rustic is committed, but the tornado caught the blow in it's vortex and whirled it round and round until the entire field had been nicely plowed. Another farmer had a lot of corn stor- ed in bin. Tn the side of the bin was a knotho1e. The tornado caught the corn and drove the cobs through the knot hole, shelling the corn and leaving 1t in nice pile on the floor.

The wind was so hard that one of the wheels is still revolving, and it is impossible to stop it.--New Haven Union.
