Mr.. ]. B. r. Carter had in town
Saturday a sample ear of corn which
was as near the ideal as we have ever
seen. 1t was long and large, perfect
and perfect grains to the very end.
But the best thing about Mr.. Carter's
corn is that for seven or eight years
he has been planting his crop with
seed selected from his crop of two
years before, not because year before
lasts seed will make better corn than
last years, but-yes, it WILL. though;
the conditions are always so much
more favorable where there's two
year-old corn in the crib every spring;
the mules are stronger and the land
is stronger, and then you will find a
real farmer about the place. But
speaking about the land reminds US
that this fine corn was made without
fertilizer and on upland. Mr.. Carter
sold off his corn Il is last spring on ac-
count of rats, which had become so
numerous. -. You can scarcely pick

other dog was killed at the county
home that was bitten by the Hedg
path dog. Now what are the city Of
ficials doing in regard to the worth |
less dogs roaming over our streets at
large? viii they wait until some
child or lady is bitten? Then you will
see the officials and police wake up
and pretend to be doing something.
We have a dog ordinance for taking
up all stray dogs, but it is like a good
many such ordinances passed in ear
nest and soon forgotten.
