The corn binder is already going in
MANY fields and will no doubt be
working until after the frosts have
killed the corn, The general opinion
seems to be that corn should be cut
as soon as the ears are about all
denied in order to get the best re-
suits.
The months Of August and Sep
TENDER are good time to kill bur-
docks, thistles and other weeds. One
cutting at this time seems to do as
much good as nine cuttings earlier in
the season.
This summer has been hot enough
so that we know we had a summer,
but those who have corn to cut for
fodder or silos to flll are wishing for
q little more summer weather.

very common commodity on the Ohio

are frequently used for Juggling for cat
fish.
While the Missouri River catfish have
long held the palm for size and voracious-

number of specimens which weighed from
eighty TO 100 pounds esch.
When the fisherman desires to jug he
gets out a dozen or two Of the jugs and
corks them up tight. To the handle Of
each is attached stout cotton line about
three feet long with a hook on the end
and bsited with almost anything from old
meat 10 spoiled cheese rind, the catfish
appetite being not at ali particular.
After everything Is ready the fisher
man dumps The whole lot into a skin
and rows up stream about three or four
miles. The jugs are then dropped over
board at intervals OF about twenty-five
feet and the operator floats along behind
as they drift with the current In calm
weather when the water is smooth, a
one-pound FISH will bob the floats percep-
tibly and larger FISH will yank them
around at a lively rate; but il requires
big fish to sink them for half a min
