Turkey Wont Come Home to
ROOSt.

Squire Moore has had trouble with
his turkey he has been fattening for
Sunday and next week. The turkey
seems to have taken a hint that
trouble awaited him in the near
future, and few days ago broke coop
and led the squire a regular chase
over the hills at an orthodox
turkey trot." Since his recapture
he has absolutely refused to eat, and
the squire thinks has materially lost
instead of gaining flesh. He hopes,
however, to have him in shape TO
be gobbled up at the appointed
time.

CORN MIXING

1t should be remembered by those
growing corn who may wish to FRO
duce certain kind, that the differ
ent grades and kinds will mix if
planted in close proximity, just as
easily and readily as will different
kinds of fowls and animals. 1t NAV
seem almost incredible but il is true,
that even at this late day there are
many people who have been raising
corn all their lives who do not know
how and why their corn, and some
vegetables, get mixed with a different
kind or grade. 1t is caused, of course,
by planting them together. The tassel
of the corn is the fertiliizng part of
the stalk. The silk is the part ferti-
lined, and makes or produces the ear.
In other and palmer terms, the tassele
is the father and the silk is the
mother The pollen or fine dust of
the tassel falls on the silk, or is
blown by the wind, and fertliZes the
silk and produces the ear. 1t follows,
of course, that if either the tassel OF
silk is removed there will be no ear.
1t follows, as matter of course,
that if we wish to produce a certain
grade or kind of corn the planting
and growing must be exclusive and
apart from other kinds, the sa ne as
i'll stock and fowls, or, if we wish
cross and new kind, plant together.
1t is also possible TO govern the char
acter of the cross by removing the
tasseI, as soon as it appears, of the
kind not wanted. Take notice of this.
