A Peculiar Cornfield-Moses Saad, a
Syrian farmer living in Piatt precinct.
has a 100-acre field of corn that has not
an ear in IL. The corn is tall, of good
color and looks well, but 1t is said the
stalks are devoid of ears. A few weeks
ago a hot wind or something of the kind
rs said to have blasted the tassels at a
critical time. killing the pollen and thus
preventing fertilization and consequently
the formation and growth Of ears. The
area covered by the heat embraces a tract
of country about three miles square. Such
conditions are rare. but can be prevented,
it is said, by planting every tenth row of
corn about ten days later than the bal
ance OF the field. thus insuring the nee
essary fertilization either from the first
or last planting-Lexington Pioneer.

Fly Poison-various people use various
means to de- away with flies. Some use
poison fly paper. The wiser ones use
'"Tanglefoot," others exterminate the pests
with "Shoofiy." The nature takers allow
the insects to contract that dreadful dis
ease, the govt, by giving them full pos
session of the kitchen. Roscoe Mulford's
plan is entirely different and entirely
new. He uses a ,22-caliber rifle to shoot
the tormenors. Perhaps his scheme may
work, but II would be well for him to
practice target shooting for a time. Last
week he took a shot at a big fly on the
toe of his boot. He scared himself and
the fly almost to death and put a bullet
through his great toe, besides causing
Pap, or Doc, Mulford considerable trouble
and anxiety caring for the injured
phlange. We hear that Docs favorite
remedy is bringing the hole in the toe
to a close, like closing a rusty jackknife,
and Babe will soon be well.-Archer

him If he had put the fellows off.

guage and then said he would put
them off himself He went over to the

The next day the shark was still fol-

were obliged to shoot him. He looked

artist shook his shoulders, turned his
