ed by the rule of Heaven you are
worth just what you can take

A LESSON ON ETIQUETTE.

For 10 these many years the
Independent man has been eating
corn on the cob by holding one
end of the cob, broken, between
the two first fingers and the
thumb; but those good old days
are no more, says the Ashland
Independent. It isn't etiquette
any more to eat it with the fin
gers; one must use two highly
decorated and becarved little sill
yer forks, one of which is SHOW
ed into each end of the cob. Some
person we will take a long shot
that it was a woman has invent
ed the cob fork idea and spoiled

ing, honest but dull and un-
promising men with the hoe?
Are the American farmers to
keep pace with American civil
ization, with all that implies of
opportunity for social privileges
political intelligence, educational
endeavor, moral stamina? Or are
they to lay behind until hopeless
ly lost in the distance, with
some future Goldsmith to bewail
their decadence?'
Every farmer should become a
better farmer, and education
helps to make him better. The
whole American civilization rests
upod the basis of education. The
development of the rural school
is the one vital question that
must be settled by the coming
generation in it's attempt at max
ing better farmers. Besides the
schools, farmers Institutes, the
press cooperative tests, fairs,
all are great factors and are do
ing more to encourage and adj
vance education.
The farmer must be made to
understand, as President Butter
fled said, that 1.-THE man behind
the pillow is the chief factor. F"
More brains must be put into the
work instead of all mucular en-
ergy. Better farming is the
fundamental need of American
agriculture to-day" and it is to
the knowing farmer that we
must look for this better farm
ing; and the knowing one is the
educated one.

some STRANGE FOODS.

Strange foods are used by peo-
pie in different parts of the earth.
On the California coast men
prize the simple sculpin, which
is despised by the lowest eaters
of fish on the Atlantic seaboard.
Indian children in Arizona are
taught to catch ants for the rein
forcement of the food supplies.
In South America the large
lizard, the iguana, is a delicacy,
not to speak to the larger snakes,
which in taste are like chicken.
The ordinary rattlesnake, it is
said, is good eating.
Some people devour the COM
mon grasshopper with great
gusto. Ground to a powder, it is
said that these insects make a
meal that is at once nourishing
and palatable. During the flights
of locusts, Indians collect them
in bags, wash them and cook
them for a meal.
The most singular food, in all
probability, is the larva of a fly,
common in certain portions of
California and known as ephydra.
This insect is found in vast
quantities in Lake Mono, Califor-
MIA, is washed up on the shores
in vast windows and can be col
lected by bushels.
When the larvae begin to ap-
pear the Indians gather from far
and near and scrape them up,
place the worm-like creatures on
clothes in the sun and dry them.
Then they are eaten.

times with both cheeks as we'll.
Maybe that isn't a dainty way to
eat corn from the cob, but it is
a mighty good way and easy
way. What if one does get the
butter up and around his ears
and all over his chin? That will
all come off with a proper appli-
cation of the napkin. And now
to think that one must, for all
time to come, taboo that good
old habit, throw aside that dam
dy, old-fashioned style of dis
posing of a delicious roasting ear!
Shame on you, inventor or in
ventress. Twas an evil day in
deed when you sought to do away
with the fingers in eating corn
from the cob. We hope that, as
long as you live, you will never
enjoy another roasting ear, but
that you will crave the delicacy
until your dying day, and that,
if you ever do eat another ear,
you may stick yourself full of
holes with your old forks that
have robbed we common people
of all the pleasure we ever found
in eating corn on the cob.

Unlucky indeed is the horse
whose owner does not know
enough to fit his harness proper
". Particularly should the col
lar fit the shoulders, and gener-
ally some attention paid to that
part of the harness, but there are
a great many, horses that go
season after season irritated daily
by the rest of the leather not
being properly fitted. In these
warm days a horse is quite easily
CALLED by anything that rubs
continually against him and SIM
ilarly if the leather is buckled
too tightly Inflammation ensues
and trouble results. There is
quite a knack in fitting harness
so that it ''is neither too free nor
too bind," as the ancient chron-
icler puts it, and be it said that
no phrase could be coined that
tells the story more forcefully.
If the harness is too free it rubs
and gals; if it binds it brings
about the same result. These
deleterious conditions are of
course aggravated if some part
of the harness is i'll fashioned
and does not take snugly to the
contour of the animal. In this
latter instance no amount OF
fussing will ever do any good. A
few days ago the writer met on
the road a farmer driving a high
strung colt of excellent breeding.
The youngster was hooked to a
cart the shafts of which where
flip-fapping about from side to
side with every inequality of the
highways. The result was that
the colt was nearly crazy from
irritation. In addition, the back
stray was too short, the back
band too loose and the breeching
far too tight. One Of the blind
ers was torn loose from the head
stall of the bride and was smash
ed against the head with every
toss. 1t was a sorry outfit in
deed. The writer was requested
to say what was the matter with
the "orney cuss." A cord to tie
the binder in place, the taking
of the slack out of the backband,
the loosening of the breeding
one wrap on the shaft, the press
ing into service of the hitching
strap toll bind the shafts into
place and stop their wiggling was
the work of only few moments
and when it was done the colt
went off easily and apparently
grateful: for the kindness of a
stranger. The owner remarked
that he had never before consid-
cred that it made any difference
how colt was hooked '.just so
he could not get away. "-Ex.
