Whv Spiders FIGHT.

When two spiders fight there is gen.
orally a good reason for the attack
and the vigorous defense that follows.
1t is not generally known that after
a certain time spiders become inca
pable of spinning a web from lack of
material The glutinous excretion
from which the slender threads are
spun is limited; therefore spiders can
not keep on constructing new snares
when the old ones are destroyed But
they can avail themselves of the web
producing powers of their younger
neighbors. and this they do without
scruple. AS soon as spiders web
constructing material has become ex-
hausted and its last web destroyed it
sets out in search of another home,
and unless it should chance to find one
that is tenantless a battle usually en-
sues. which ends only with the retreat
or death of the invader or defender.

He may give his services for pay but

He has the courage to face danger in

defeat does not down him.
He keeps Clean in body and thought,

He is reverent toward God. He is

In closing, it might be well to mention
lite incident that happened Saturday
evening, as an illustration of the silent
force for good that is likely to result
from this movement here in Cresco.
The scout master was engaged in
little errand of mercy when it became
necessary that he have assistance. At
once he thought Of his Boy Scouts, and
gave the peculiar whistle known only
to scouts, and used only in time of
need. After three or four attempts,
out of the darkness came the answer
ing call of Boy Scout, and a moment
later the boy himself appeared. In less
than minute he had called another
boy and in another minute they were
on their way up town, following out
the directions of their leader. Thus it
was exemplified that even on the first
day Of their organization they had
proven true to their motto, BE Pre-

tural College,

tuTdl COllege.
These chief characteristics of prize
ears must be borne in mind by the
corn grower who is searching his
fields for corn for show:
Length-From 9 1-2 to 10 inches.
Circumference-From Z to Z 1-2
inches, one-third the distance from
the butt end to the tip.
Butt-Well filled, with kernels
evenly arranged around cup shaped
cavity.
Tip-Completely covered, if pos
sible, with uniform kernels.
Shape Of ear-Slightly tapering to-
wards tip.
kernels-Medium- sized, deep, uni
form and arranged in straight rows.
In some varieties there is a paired
rowing, while in others there is a
uniform furrow between rows. The
kernels depth should be about 1-2
times as great as the width at the
widest part. Kernels should be
wedge-shapes but not pointed. The
germ should be large, smooth, and
free from blistering or discoloration.
Cob-Medium in size and dense in
texture.
The show ears must be gathered
before heavy frosts come to make
sure that its vitality is not injured.
After the ears have been picked,
select fifty or sixty Of the best, lay

seems nearest ideal and make it tho
standard for choosing the other nine
of the ten show ears.
Do not think that the best ear
found should be perfect, for. rarely

may not be more than one or two
in an entire show. Nor is there
reason for encouragement if the best
ten ears do not meet fully the stand.
ards of the perfect ear. No ten ear
sample is likely to do that.
Make sure that the ten ears are
uniform. Each ear should look as
near like every other ear as pos
sible. That counts much with
judges. There should be uniformity
in size, in color or grain and cob,
in shape, in character of dent, is
size of kernel. There should also be
trueness to type, and vitality or
terminating power.
When the ears are chosen, then
handle them carefully. Two kernels
may be removed from the side of the
ear to determine depth and shape,
but no other kernels should be MISS
ing. Keep the sample ears in dark
place until the show so that the grain
will not bleach. Make sure also that
there is good circulation Of air in
the storage room, for corn in the
drying stage needs good ventilation.

BEAUTIFYING THE CAPITAL
More Than $52.000.oo0 Has Been
Spent by Congress In
Ten Years.

That congress has been liberal in
Its efforts to beautify Washington Is
evidenced by the fact that within the
last decade more than $50 100000 has
been spent In the erection of build
ihgs. improvements Of streets. and de-
veiopment of parks. If the buildings
now IN the course Of construction or
contemplated were to be added to this
sum the total expenditures of con-
gress woult amount to more than $780,
100000. sum which hardly another
city in the nation could equal in a
similar space of time.
According to statements of officials
OF the treasury department. the work
done with the appropriations of the
last ten years is Of the finest. and will
stand for century as monument to
the thoroughness and effectiveness Of
the architects and builders in charge
Of the construction.
The largest items within the last ten
years were appropriated for the erec-
ttcn Of the senate and house Office
buildings. the improvements In the
government printing Office. the library
Of congress. and the National Botanic
garden, all Of which are grouped un-
der Capitol expenses" The gross
cost Of these buildings amounted to
more than $l3.000,00O. Next largest
among the items Is the fund devoted
to the extension and improvement of
streets.
The new buildings, which bring the
total cost Of work to more than $780,
100000. are to be those planned for
south Of Pennsylvania avenue. These
include the state department. the de-
partment of commerce and labor, and
the new bureau Of engraving and
printing.
