CORN CROP WILL BE GOOD
Burlington Reports an Average Crop
of 10 To 7b Per Cent of Usual
Amount VIII ne Had.

Corn in Nebraska, according to the weekly
crop report of the Burlington, will come
out well in spite OF the weather conditions
There was no excessively high temperature
during the last week, and except for some
little damage east Of Wymore in south
eastern Nebraska no harm came OF the hot
days lately.
An average crop Of corn from 70 10 70
per cent Of the usual amount is expected
over most OF the state. Other crops are
in comparatively the same condition as the
corn, although it is expected that the third
crop of alfalfa will be short. On the Ne
braska division the meadows and pastures
have done fairly well, but in the wyom-
ing. Sheridan and Sterling sections the
grass is reported very dry and the hay crop
small.
Lght showers were felt all over the state
in the last week and heavy rains In several
spots.

The Gun Charmers.

Among the more superstitiously in
clined of the sporting Cingalese are
gun charmers, who allege that a gun
may be charmed in different ways and
by different methods. An essential
part of the process, however, appears
to be the muttering Of certain formu-
lac.
A gun, the charmers say, may be
charmed in any one of the following
four ways: % SO that it will wound
the animal fired at, but will not kill
outright (2) so that he who carries il
shall find nothing worth shooting; Co.
so that it will not kill anything flying
but will kill animals that run, and
a. so that it will not kill anything
that runs, but will kill anything flying
No gun can be charmed at all if the
owner takes the pTecaution of rubbing
some pork fat on the barrel or at
taches a piece Of the outer skin of the
rat snake to the stock in such a way
that it cannot be seen.

A curious way in which a fire in the
heart of coal pile keeps itself from
being put out is noted in a mining
journal. Such fires often start in the
interior of large piles Of coal owing
to heat developed by slow oxidation,
which is prevented by the size of the
pile from escaping into the air. Such
fires are difficult to put out owing to
the fact that the burning mass turns
the coal around it into coke, which is
nearly impervious to water. The pile
may thus be thoroughly drenched
without putting out the fire, which it
never really reaches. The only way
to deal with the situation is to driYe
into the pile a sharpened iron pipe,
long enough to reach the burning coal,
and then to couple a hose to the upper
end and turn on the water.

The Cocoa Plantation.

A traveller in South America, where
the cocoa tree is largely cultivated,
speaks of the great care with which
the young plants have to be protected
from the sun, which if very strong is
fatal to them. To secure this protec-
ton the planters shield them by ba-
mana trees and plaintain trees, the
broad leaves of which give them the
needed shade. And even when they
are fully grown they need protection,
which is given by trees known as i'm
mortels," or, as the planters call them,
"the mother of the cocoa" Thus the
whole cocoa plantation has a sort Of
canopy.
