try this fall is the unusual amount of
blowing done in preparation for next
years crops. We have had two seasons
in succession in which the early planted
corn was much better than the late.
II conditions should be similar next
year, there may be large amount of
corn planted early. A large part of the
ground plowed this fall is sod and if we
have fair season next year, we ought
to have mammoth corn crop. Another
thing that will beNin the favor OF future
crops is the large amount of tile laid
during the year. It has been many
years since there was as much tile lay
ing. This is sure to prove good in
vestment.
Charles Bucks team of bays came
near making things interesting for him
self and family, while in town Wednes-
day. Charles was on the ground, with
the lines in his hand, in the act of as
sisting his wife from the carriage. An
other team backed a spring-wagon
against one of the horses, which, be-
coming frightened began kicking and
plunging. Both horses started to run,
jerking Charles to the ground. He
chung to the lines, however, and after
being dragged some distance succeeded
in getting them under control, no seri-
GUS damages resulting. Had it not been
for his pluck and presence of mind his
wife and children might have been SER
iously injured. Lamont Chronicle.
