graoations ranged from a production OF
thIrty-two bushels an acre to ninety-slx
bushels. The farmer can control this mat
ter by proper attention to choice OF seed;
soil nourishment and rotation. Quality
counts as well as quantity. This great
margin in the yield and grade is deeply
interesting to the man who raises corn,
and who feels that he is missing something
when he employs three acres TO do what
his neighbor does better with one acre.
Corn is unquestionably one of the great
est gifts of nature to man. 1t Is a wonder
bouhtiful harvests. This country is its
chief center of production and Americans
have best interpreted its utilities as well
as its culture. The middle west and the
central states are its great feeding ground.
In Illinois 100000 acres are devoted to
corn, or four times the area given to any
other plant. Missouri. Iowa, Kansas, Ne
braska and the adjacent states are steady
corn producers on an immense scale. Corn
is identified with a high type OF men, and
no crop is more favorable to the breeding
OF domestic animals. While the white,
yellow and red grain makes beautiful pic
lures at the corn shows the thoughtful
visitor sees that the crop and its value
can be vastly increased by the application
Of right principles. Both quantity and
quality can be greatly bettered. There
are hundreds of millions in It,

yell, entered the court room, rushed
the prisoners TO a large tree near the
edge OF town. hanged them and fired
volley after volley into the swinging
bodies as they were drawn up from the
earth.
The judge. who opened his court for
the mock trial, cuts the sorriest figure
in this latest outrage on the law. His
oath of office, his duty and his sense
of propriety were forgotten, or ig.
nored. when he sought to give the
mere semblance of legality and form
ality to the act OF a mob. He did more
than the mob to detract from the sta
bility of the judiciary and to bring the
law into ~disrepute. He simply gave
judicial approval to murder and moth
ing less. He appears in the light of
having decided that il a community is
determined to break the law the best
thing to do is to lend the dignity of
the court to the procedure. He has
set the precedent of having a lynching
conducted by due process of law" His
conduct was more discreditable, all
things considered, than that of the
mob.

TheodoTia Garrison in Scribner's.
The live man victorious
Rode squirting from the fight;
In a glad voice and glorious
He sang of his delight;
And dead men three. foot-lOose and free
Came after in the night,
And one laid hand on his bride rein
Swift as the steed he sped
ooh, ride you fast. yet at the last
Hate faster rides he said.
M sons shall know their fathers foe
One day when blades are red"
And one laid hand on his stirrup bar
Like touch o. driven mist,
'T'or Joy you slew ere Joy | knew
For one girls mouth unkissed;
At your boards head, at mass, At bed
My pale ghost shall persist"
And one laid hand on his own two hands
"Oh brother o. mine quoth he,
What can | give 10 you who live
Like gift you gave to me,
Since now from strife aud ache o. lifs
Your sword-stroke makes mt freer'
The live man victorious
Rode squirting from the fight;
