of corn that is to be used in Iowa next
year." says the Burlington in circular
just issued. "could be harvested this
fall not later than September 80, and
hung up where it would dry out thor
oughly before the freezing nights of Oc-
tober and November have weakened or
killed it, it would add millions of dol
lars to the wealth Of Iowa." Publicity
Is given also to an article written by
Prof. M. L. Bowman, secretary of the
Iowa Corn Growers association, who
says:
Let us not forget the condition that
so many of our farmers experienced
last fall by having Jack Frost seriously
visit the seed corn before we had Sc
cured that for next years planting.
Every farmer knows that low degrees
Of temperature will seriously injure his
seed corn, especially when the corn
contains large amount of moisture.
If we go out into our corn fields right
now it will be found that In the same
hill for example, you will find two
stalks Of corn, each bearing an ear,
each ear about the same size and pos
sibly with the exception of maturity
they will be practically equal. and yet
one Of them will have the husk turn
ing brown, the corn well into the dent,
matured sufficiently to pick for seed.
while the other ear, although growing
on stalk in the same hill, will be
found to be very immature, contain
ing high percentage of moisture and
unfit for seed purposes.
Nov, If you were to pick your seed
corn today what would you do? Why,
of course, you would pick the well ma.
tured ear and discard the other one.
But suppose you do not get your seed
corn now, but leave it until 1t is time
to fill the crib, and you come to this
same hill containing these two stalks
with the same two ears. 1t would be
impossible to tell which Of the two
ears matured before the other one, and
what will you do? Why naturally take
them both for seed 1t would mean
millions of bushels of corn in increased
yields per acre to the state of Iowa II
field this month (the month of Sep
tember) and pick well matured ears
right off the stalk.
1T will not be necessary to take
small, inferior ears. It will be found
that there are plenty Of large mature
ears, If we but look for them. When
we stop to consider the fact that it only
takes twelve ears of corn to plant an
acre, it indeed is very serious matter
to leave this seed corn of ours out in
the field on the stalk, where Jack
Frost is liable to beat us to it. Let us
not forget the experience of last year
1t is just good business that every ear
of corn we use for seed be picked be
tween now and the first of October
The large, well matured ears are there
in your field, and whenever you select
twelve Of them you have enough &c
plant an acre.
ut will not be necessary to run seed
corn special trains next spring to il
lustrate the poor condition of the seed
corn if our farmers will select their
seed corn before the cold weather and
hang it up in proper place for stor
age"

Daybreak.

OdypTedk.
At midnight Gillespie and discussed
the days affairs on the terrace at
Glenarm. There were long pauses in
our talk. Such things as We had seen
and heard that night, in the canoe
makers shop on the little creek, were
beyond our poor range of words. And
In the silences my own reflections
were not wholly happy. II Miss Pat

agreed to come.
AS We talked on, Gillespie and !,
there under the stars, he disclosed,
all unconsciously, new and surprising
traits. and felt my heart warming to
him.
Hes a good deal of q man, that
Arthur Holbrook." he remarked after
q long pause. Hes beyond me. The
man who runs the enemy's lines to
bring relief to the garrison, or the
leader Of forlorn hope. is tame after
this. I suppose the world would call
him q fool"
Undoubtedly" answered. "But
he didn't do 1t for the world; he did
It for himself. We can't applaud a
thing like that In the usual phrases"
NO." Gillespie added; only get
down on our knees and bow our
heads In the dust before It."
He rose and paced the long terrace.

"T will hear what you have to say.
Arthur" said Miss Pat; and / knew
that there was no, arresting the tide.
I snatched out the sealed envelope and
turned with It to Arthur Holbrook;
and he took II into his hands and
turned 1t over, quietly. though his
hands trembled.
"Tell me the truth. gentlemen!"-
and Miss Pats voice thrilled now with
anger.
"Trickery." more trickery; those
were stolen from Helen!" blurted Hen
ry. his eyes on the envelope; but we
were waiting for the canoe-maker 70

iy In the shop.
Arthur looked at his brother; then
he faced his sister.
Henry is not guilty." he said.

He turned with quick gesture and
thrust the envelope into the flame OF

forward and caught away the blazing
packet and smothered the fame be-

Henry turned look of appeal upon

and we stood by as though We waited

candles nearest her and took out the
notes. which were wrapped in sheet

the light, and we heard the slight rat.

flashed upon the white sheet. When
she had cIite finished she gathered
Gillespie's statement and the notes In
her hand and turned and gave them
to Henry; but she did not speak to
him or meet his eyes. She crossed to
where Arthur stood beside me, his
head bowed, and as she advanced he
turned away; but her arms stole over
