Something must have stung your

Of large collie which, after swapping
frantically at flying insect, lowered
his head and carefully licked his right
forepaw.

that Is only little delusien Of hiss

and ever since he has cherished o
standing grudge against flying insects.
Apparently the sight of one not only
arouses his anger, but recalls most
vividly his first experience with one,
for each time after running after one,
whether he catches 1t or not, he stops
and tenderly ticks the place where he
was stung tive years ago. AS far as
know he has never been stung since
then."-Philadelph Press.

WHY IOWA LAND is VALUABLE.
The Work Done on 1t Furnishes the
Answer to the Question,

Manson, Nov. %. = A trip of ten
miles in the country on a Sunday aft
ernoon brought to light some new
facts. On this ten mile trip there
were not less than twenty new farm
houses and barns that have been
erected within very short time, most
of them during what was supposed to
be the worst crop seasons, the farm
ers have had for a good number of
years. These are not little houses and
barns. but magnificent affairs that
mark them as permanent improve
ments costing thousands of dollars,
and as good as any farmer would care
to have no matter how wealthy. The
residences cost from $1,000 to $500,
and the barns from 81 900 to $500, as
good buildings as you would find in
any country, no matter where you
travelled. Instead of simply a barn
on the farm there are usually a half
dozen other farm buildings, granaries.
corn cribs, built in the form of small
barns.
On this ten mile trip there was a
continuous cornfleld very little that
will yield less than fifty bushels to the
acre and lots Of it that will go to sew
enty. Magnificent herds of cattle and
hogs dot the pastures and an air of
prosperity prevails the entire distance.
The trip was made southeast of town
and the same conditions prevail in
other directions. With his telephone
in his house, and mail delivery every
day at his door. it is little wonder the
town faring man envies his farmer
