( Chicago, Dec. 28.--Your CORES

has been going on for some time
among the Negro Masons of this coun.
try as ito the regularity and legality
OF the Prince Hall Grand Lodge OF
Negro NMasons that has It's headquar-

know that so many of the Negro Ma
sons in this country have been for SO
many years misled in the belief" that
the Negro Masons in Massachusetts
belonging to the Prince Hall Grand
Lodge Of Massachusetts, were regu-
lar and lawful Masons, when as a
matter of fact, according to the Ma
sonic laws Of this country, they. have
no legitimate origin whatever. The
commencement of the Negro Masonry
In this! country was In. 1875, at BIOS
ton Massachusetts, Prince Hall, a
Negro, Is reported to have been made
a Mason in the white Masonic Lodge
at Boston, Massachusetts,, in Its,
and that this white Masonic lodge
belonged to the Grand Lodge of
England; now according to the
reports that l =. have Investigated
and seen from the Grand Lodge Of
England, the Grand Lodge Of England
has no record Of any such transaction.

When. the Masonic law, which was in
force at that time and is in force

CARE OF SHOW CORN.

Ordinarily the southern part of
Iowa has an advantage over the
northern part of the state in the de-
velopment Of show corn. This seas
on by far the best corn in sthe state
is in the northeastern section. Good
show corn in southern Iowa will be a
scarce article this year because of
the extended drouth which came Just
at the time when he ears were fill
ing.
The national, state, and district
corn shows are offering splendid larg
premiums this season, and with the
well developed crop they have in this
part of the state, farmers are Sleep
ing on their rights unless they carry
off good share of the handsome pre-.
miums offered by these shows.
Competition in corn shows is often
strong and oftentimes an equally
good yielding sample is placed low
by the judge because it has not
been cared for so as to maintain the
color, straightness of the ear, bright
ness of the germ, and plumpness of
the kernel.
To secure plumpness of kernels do
not pick until fully matured To pre-
vent ear from losing it's original brigh
color wrap in newspapers as soon as
picked and keep away from sunlight.

BY far the larger part of the tapples
grown in Iowa are OF the fall varie.
ties. These. do not keep we'll in or.
dinary storage. AS result the mar
ket is glutted during the fall,while
when winter comes apples must be
shipped in at high prices. For sew
eral years the Horticultural Section
of the Iowa Experiment Station has
been experimenting with different
methods of handling apples in cold
storage. These experiments have
shown that fall apples when han
died properly can be kept all winter
in cold storage. The cost OF cold
storage is not very high. And by
this means the season for home
grown apples may be extended un-
till well along toward spring. The re-
suits of the experiments along this
line, together with full directions for
handling apples in cold storage, are
given in bulletin No. los of the Iowa
Experiment Station. Copies may be
obtained by addressing Prof. C. F.
