Save the Crops

II there is any merit In n s.lo
whatever, ths year should prove
Its worth. Much OF our corn prom
ises TO make fodder only this year.
Or again, corn planted now would
make fodder before the frost. To
gct full value for this fodder and
to hAve 1t when Il u needed the
siio cognes In and offers q solution.
Instead OF having only the dry
leaves of corn, tho silo keeps dt
fresh and green and the stalks be-
ing ground up all u esten by the
horses and cows. A sibo should
pay for itself In one season and
after that win be making profits.

then have ono put on your place.

Crop Outlook -
Much Improved
Rain and Cool Weather
Make Prospects Brighter

A general rain over almost the
entire country has changed pros
poets very much. Saline county
did not receive a general rain.
A light shower Sunday morning
relieved us a little, although the
eastern part of the county re-
ports soaker. The last good
rain here was Saturday night, May
9Th, eighty days ago.
Several weeks ago we printed
an article headed "Corn at a Crit
ical Point" The hot winds and
drouth at the time were very SER
ious. The cool weather since has
revived IL and II q thrifty and
strong in most sections. Saline
county soil has proved it's super
iority this year as never before.
Where other counties would have
been dried up completely, our
deep rich coil has enabled the
corn to strike Its roots deep into
the moisture and thus save the
crop, az we are told by many that
We will have n fair crop whether
wc get rain or not. This is GER
tainly gratifying. There are spots
though whore this In not the case.
Another point In our favor Is
that the neighboring counties Will
have feed soon and II will not be
necessary for them to force all
their cattle on the market and ruin
prices. There are comparatively
few counties without rain and
these will not affect the market
materially.

Cat Fish Got Him

Norman Hughes, young farm
or living south OF Rich Hill Is In
q serious condition AZ result OF
being bitten by catfish weighing
55 pounds.
Hughes, together with several
other men, was catching fish with
his hands In the Usage river. At
ter landing number weighing
from 10 to 81 pounds, they locat-
ed the "daddy" catfish. They sur
rounded him, and with all parties
taking hold, young Hughes stuck
his hands In the mouth OF the fish
in order to get a better grip. The
fish closed down on the hands Of
Its captor, and after being landed
the aid of an iron bar was requir
ed to loosen the hold OF the fish.
Young Hughes required services
OF a physician.-Boonville Repub-

have the electric road built. He
has htched up TO big milLon-

him to all as "Judge Nevin," and

and talk foolish about "our" new

come to us In all seriousness and
with a broad smile said that the

Judge Nevin Is In town and says
so, etc. The gentlemen are good
at building chicken coops, rail-

much railroad as some other peo-
pie at present, but it's all in the
