Notable Huskina Bee.

The old-fashioned husking bee has long been a fayorite social diversion in the country. Its pleasures have been told in song and story. and an invita- ton to one has never been refused. The chief reason for the huskdng bee in the view of the participant was the fun. the read ears and the supper.
 But one was held the other day in Hockanum with. different purpose and 8 good deal more significance than the time-honored one. This bee was held at the Howard Brewer farm and it's purpose was to officially measure, husk and weigh an acre of dent corn for record purposes. The yield was 127 bushels of shalled corn, a remarka- ble showing for this season. Last year Mr. Brewer made a worlds record with 1S3 and 1-3 bushels.
 It is. gratifying to know that Con- necticut farm is- ca gable of such a showing It should prove encouraging to our farmers. Nothing. however, is said as to the cost of production. We are not told whether or not if is profit able at market prices 10 force crops to such production Mir Brewer is an expert and has demonstrated that big yields are possible. How he does 1t remains a good deal of a puzzle. prac- tically. flor farmers herea bouts who have taken good care of their corn and have spent money liberally on fer tilizers, have hardly received in return the cost of the crop.
 If some little bee of the husking breed, or any other kind, would tell them how to get the big yield at reasonable profit they would cheer fully give said bee a rural supper that would also win record.-Bristol PerSS

BREED THEATEE.

The hero of the southwest is Will liam Pickett. a halfbreed GOV boy. who has returned to the 101 Ranch at Bliss, Okla, after fighting a Spanish bull in the arena at Mexico City. Pickett met the blood-hnngry bull with bare hands, and probably would have bested the animal had not the hostile Mexican audience bombarded him with missiles. At is vas, his escape from death was miraculous. fellow cow boy saved his life as he lay prostrate and wounded from the effects of a wound inhicted by a bottle thrown at him.
 A reproduction of the reckless exploit may be sean at the Breed theater on Monday and Tuesday, afternoon and night and with it moving pictures of other turbulent incidents of the tour of the 101 Ranch Wild West in Mexico.
