Scarcity of Seed Corn.

Realizing that as a result Of unfavor
year, the farmers of the state of Iowa
are almost absolutely without supplies
of high grade seed corn that will germ
mate properly, and that this deplorable
condition will seriously affect the crops
Of future years and that it is very nee
essary to overcome this unfavorable
condition as soon as possible and estab-
lish basis type Of corn suitable for
this latitude and encourage the farmers
to become breeders Of corn, a number Of
grain dealers, Dunkelbarger & King,
Bowen & Regur, Des Moines Elevator
Co., Diamond Grain Co., Diamond Grain
Co., Chicago Grain & Elevator Co. and
the Northern Grain Co. have recon-
mended to the Iowa Grain Dealers As
ISOLATION that this association shall see
to it that varieties of pure bred seed
corn be sent to number of farmers in
the state for the purpose of encourag-
| ing them in the raising of first class
seed corn.
| The plan for sending out this seed is
as follows: Grain dealers in various
not less than one dollar to the Secre-
tary Of the Iowa Grain Dealers Associa
tion, Mr.. George A. Wells, for the money
so sent the secretary shall cause to be
sent through Prof. P. G. Holden of the
State Agricultural College as much seed
as can be procured for the money, the
same to be sold at actual cost. The
dealer is to dispose of the corn sent him
to not less than three progressive farm
ers in his neighborhood who are to grow
the corn in accordance with instruc-
tions sent by Prof. Holden. At the end
of the season, ten of the best ears rails
ed are to be sent to the College to be
entered for prizes at the corn Judging
contest lin January 1905. Prof. Holden
will see to it that the best seed suited
for the different parts Of the state
be secured and sent to such local
tiles. His personal expenses incur
red in finding such seed are to be
paid by the. Grain Dealers Association.
Mr.. Wells informs us that great deal
of money has already been sent in and
quite a large amount OF seed will be
scattered throughout the state. Nearly
thousand farmers have already become
, interested in this work and we believe
much good will come from this move.

city in late years. The services at the
home were under the auspices of the
Knights of Pythias at the cemetery
under the Elks' direction. The floral
gifts were grand, the caskets being
banked with roses, carnations and lilies.
The Elks lodge, Knights of Pythias,
Eagles, Modern Woodmen Of the World
and great number Of normal school
students attended in a body to pay
their last tribute Of respect to their

two brothers,-W. w. Warner and Joe S.

Ever since the operation on Mr.. War

has hung gloom over the whole COM

On Tuesday every business house in

New York. Aug. 6.-The series of
mlsnaps which have occurred to Capt
Bonavita, the lion trainer, at Bostocks
Coney Island nagerie, will very like
~ stir up an agitation leading to the
prohibition of such exhibitions as in
VolVfng the wanton risk of human life
and the imposition of gross and I'M
necessary cruelty upon wild beasts.
Recently Bonavita has been bitten,
clawed and generally lacerated by his
hons to an extent that will cripple him
for the rest of his days and prevent
MIN from going through any more per
formances in the animal arena. Doubt
less there will be numerous daring men
who will apply for the post of success
sion to Bonavita, but so much atten-
ton has been concentrated upon the
events which have put this trainer out
OF commission that in all probability
permanent prohibition may take Off
clal shape. The attention of the So
clety for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Animals has been called to the methods
by which lions and other fierce wild
plain, the methods by which they are
terrorized into submission-and an in
vestigation will undoubtedly follow. A
merely casual inspection of some of
the animals will reveal big scars where
they have been burned with hot irons
as well as numerous marks of other
violent maltreatment.

This same writer describes a process
sion of four or five women, each car

churchyard one wild, wet morning in
March. I'VE concluded says the
writer, that they were taking the
children to be christened, but on
watching them we perceived that they
did not enter the church, but walked
round and round it. An inquiry into
the meaning of this singular conduct
ELECTED the information that to walk
nine times around the Church on three
consecutive Fridays was a. sure cure
for whooping cough. AS the result of
the first Fridays pilgrimage was that
two babies died, that cure was given
up and the mothers. resorted to an
other sovereign remedy passing the
child nine times round a donkey,
over the back and under the belly,
without touching the ground"
Here is also an example of modern
witchcraft: "A young soldier, Tom
Beale, came home to the village. He
fell in love with the daughter of his
next-door neighbor, but the match was
so violently opposed by his mother
that it was broken off and the girl
went to service. AS her box was being

seizure. Both she and her daughters
were firmly convinced that she had
been 'ill-wished' by the girls grand
mother, a very quiet and inoffensive
old woman, but who had somehow got
the reputation of being a witch. All
the women in the village took the mat
ter up warmly and poor Tom Beale
was ostracized, nor could any argu-
ment persuade the people that he had
not procured this Ill-wishing' of his
mother"

QUEER SUGGESTIONS.
From the Chicago News.


A writer who has lived in a remote
English village says: THE exercising or
laying of spirits is supposed to belong
to the old monkish days and to be now
entirely obsolete, and yet a few years
ago this old belief was still firmly held
by the villagers. The rector's wife
was visiting a woman who had recent
ly lost her husband. After some hes
itation she told the lady that she wish
ed to see the rector, for she had some
thing very particular to say to him. OF
course, on hearing this. he lost no time
in. visiting his parishioner. She rose
from her chair with much alacrity and
proceeded to drag an empty box from
a cupboard. What 1 wants YOU to
do. sir. is this: Willums spirit is
a-haunting me day and night and wun-
ma let me be. So. if you'll be so kind
as to pray him into this box and then
