Frank M. Kimes has introduc-
ed q new variety of corn, and he
is 10 impressed with it. that he
will retire from active work and
live on the fruit of his discovery.
He has produced a corn that
grows six ears to the stalk, and
the Critic is in the possession of
a stalk, which the doubling ele-
ment can see by calling at this
Office. Mr.. Kimes has been a
hard working man, and one who
has the highest respect of his
neighbors. and they and all who
know him will rejoice at his dis
covery of making six ears of
corn grow where only one and
two grew. -Portageville Critic.

to take a spin around the block

The Mole.

A Nebraska correspondent
writes: "A number of our neigh
bors claim that the mole destroys
corn. We believe he is after
the fellow who has destroyed
the seed. How about it?"
The mole is one of the most
sorely misjudged animals Of
which we have any knowledge.
He is strictly carnivorous: would
starve to death IL there was moth
ing but grain or other vegetable
matter for him to live on. He
is really friend and not a foe.
He Is after worms and the var
ious kinds of insects that prey
upon the. farmers crops. and
should be regarded as a benefac-
tor.
MANY of our friends even of
human kind have disagreeable
habits and sometimes do us harm
when they are trying to do US
good. The mole is no exception.
He will throw up ridges in the
garden and in the lawn. He
cant help it; he is built that way.
He is simply making paths in
search of food, and in doing so
throws up a ridge that let's in too
much air into the land and pre-
vents plants from terminating,
or dries them out. He ridges up
the lawn; but he is after the
grubworms and other insects that
have multiplied there, or in the
meadow of long standing.
Don't set traps for the mole.
Cultivate him. and when you see
q ridge thrown up through tho
garden or lawn have the boys 60
along and tramp it down. Learn
TO discriminate between your
friends and your foes. Wallace

Strenuous war has broken out
between the City of Cape Girar-
deau and the Frisco Railroad.
The city council has passed an
ordinance directing the removal
of the railroad track through the
streets by September 1st, because
the road had violated its contract
to make the city terminal and
division point instead of Chaffee-
on the Niger Wool. If the
Cape can make its case good the
Frisco can't connect without
building around the city. New

Protect the Birds.

It was doubtless an unhappy
day for US when sixty pairs of
English sparrows were turned
loose in Central Park. New York,
q generation ago. The theory
and expectation was that they
would destroy the worms and in
sects affecting and injuring the
shrubbery, and as our native
birds were insufficient in guam
tity. or characteristics for this
task. their English cousins were
brought over to supplement
their labor. And very probably
they have done some good work
in the matter indicated. but no
account was taken beforehand
of possible and growing object
ions to the feathered emigrants.
They multiply with such wonder
full rapidly, that they literally
occupy the country to the exclus-
ion of other birds. Where they
select any locality, scarcely an
other bird is ever seen. and to
feed such armies is no small mat
ter.
If their plumage were only suf-
ficiently attractive to our women
the growing pest might be re-
moved. but unfortunately. they
are as homely in appearance as
they are undesirable in ch arac-
ter. The probability is that we
will ultimately be forced to put
a price on their heads as outlaws.

such a privilege as Folk has
been preaching against for six
years; a man known throughout
the state as an ultra Bourbon,
as a Democrat who has no pa.
