Oxen In Massachusetts.

J. D. Avery of Shelburne Falls is
surely the king Of oxen In this part
of the country. At the Brattleboro fair
recently he has had the most wonder
full exhibit of oxen, and in all the tests
of strength for pulling heavy boat
loads OF stone his oxen have cleaned
the decks. One of the secrets in these
tests is the way the oxen are man
aged and driven. Mr.. Avery does his
own driving and is master at the
business. The other day again, as the
day before, he cleared everything be-
fore him in the OK pulling ring by tax
ing all three prizes in the free for all
class and first and second in the 3,5oo

was about 9,106, while the veteran OK
man made an exhibition pull OF nine
feet in the free for all class with a
fancy pair of Devons with a load OF
1929, which is the biggest loau
drawn at Brattleboro since he pulled
over 1000 with his famous pair o

a Good MGrowinan Fall.

Cottonwood Falls, Kan.-According
to Kansas farmers Of this vicinity, the
present fall and late summer has been
one of the best growing seasons the
state has ever enjoyed, and there has
been but few times in which warm,
growing weather was needed so badly
to finish late crops as it was this fall,
AS if to make amends for the dry
weather and unfavorable cond lions for
crops earlier in the summer, the last
part of the season has been about as
near perfect as it would be possible
to have. While for lack of moisture
late corn and all kaffir corn were de-
layed during the time when their great
est growth is usually made, yet the
abundant rains later with warm
weather which has lasted so long have
enabled the crops to ,ripen and bring
good yields.
