The stick from which an OK yoke

as Eastwood, and measure 6x12
inches, says the Rural New Yorker.
Draw line one inch from and paral-
lei with one edge. Lay off eight inches
and square. Open compass eight
inches and describe a half circle
around the point where the two lines
intersect, which will leave three
inches at the top of circle Turn the
compass along base line. which will
lay off eight inches and square. This
will be the exact center Of yoke.
The other half is drawn the same
way. Now lay off two inches on each
side of center line, from which points
draw lines that will intersect with the
half circle. Lay off four inches on
each side Of the line that passes
through the center of the half circle.

II is possible within a few years to
double the average production OF corn
per acre in the United States, and TO
accomplish it without any increase in
work or expense. It is not to be IN
deFstood from this statement that II
is desirable to double the present corn
crop, but that it is desirable TO pro-
duce the same yield on a smaller
number of acres and with less labor.
If 60 bushels are raised on one acre
instead of on two acres. the labor Of
blowing, narrowing. planting, Guilt
waiting and harvesting is greatly re-
duced. Demand controls the quantity
that should be grown. To meet the
demands the producers of the United
States have, during the last ten years.
averaged in round numbers $500, 0O0.-
600 bushels of corn yearly In produ-
cling this quantity a little more than
95,000,000 acres have been devoted to
corn growing. The average produc
ton per acre has been 26 bushels
Very few farmers would like to &C
knowledge that their average produe
ton for the past ten years has been
as low as &c bushels per acre. but
from the best estimates that have
been made the conclusion is unavoid
able that half of those who grow corn
harvest less than &c bushels per acre
Twice this quantity is a fair crop.
three times &c bushels is good crop.
and four times 90 bushels per acre are
frequently produced.
Since the average crop in the states
best adapted to corn growing is but
little above the general average of the
entire country, it is evident that the
average is not lowered to any great
extent by the poor crops in sections
unsuited to corn growing. Moreover,
the yield per acre in the New England
states, with their short growing sea
son, is as great as in any other part
of the country. This clearly indicates
the possibility of greatly increasing
the yield per acre in the corn belt
This is especially easy of accomplish
ment in the southern states. where
the present production per acre is low
and where the growing season is not
shortened by frOsts.
Poor corn crops are usually at
tributed to unfavorable weather con.

cause. for there are but few summers
during which this crop does not suffer
more or less at some stage in its

rem arrived IN Carson yesterday Oh
loot, this was about 80. He stated
lie was looking for ranch work anu
was advised to hike up the valley,
had partner with him and the two
disappeared. Later i'll the day the
partner was arrested and held ovel
night. Ibis morning he was releas-
ed and shown the short cuts over the
hills. Warren slipped out and the
next heard from him was a hurry up
call from the Italians who are living
at the Lloyd place on the river.
Warren, after leaving this city
headed directly for the Lloyd place
as he arrived there about 2:3O. He
loated about the place during the al
ternoon, coming TO the house at din
ner time and asked for a meal This
was furnished him. He also wanted
some money. He was handed hall
dollar. Later he wanted a bed and
this was improvised by the accom-
modating people at the ranch
When it came bed time Warren did
not want to go to bed and made con
siderable trouble for the people at
the place. hey finally persuaded
HIM to go to bed
he people at the ranch were sus
piclous Of his actions in every way
The man was nervous and did NOT
treat them In a way that won conf
dence After retiring one OF the
men employed on the place watched
Warren. He pretended to sleep anu
presently Warren got up and taking
an empty beer bottle deliberatel,
threw it at the sleeping man in the
bunk. He was about to brain the
man with another bottle when he was
grabbed by the man who was watch
ing the affair The others assisted
and soon Warren was bound and
rendered helpless.
This occurred about IL o'clock in
the night. AT a little after midnight
an excited Italian arrive in this city
and officers Epstine and Dodson re-
turned to the ranch with him. They
found Warren safely tied and plenty
OF excitement Before 2 o'clock he
was landed in the county Jail.
AS he had but one arm it was a
case OF how to use the handouts 1t
was finally decided to place the one
good wrist in the steel cuff and the
other end was fastened to the railing
of the rig. The man did not escape.
The officers figure that the man is
either crazy or else a criminal. He
is being watched and will continue to
be until the doctors can determine
his condition Should he prove sane
he stands a good chance for a term
in the pen. He is either billed for
the penitentiary or the asylum.
