Device for Shocking Corn.

when corn is to be shocked in the
field, 1t should be thoroughly ripe be-
fore being cut, as too early cutting
affects both the yield and the quality
OF the grain.
The shuck on the ears should be
turing yellow, If not already dry; the
latter is preferable, even II the lower
blades are overripe.
"A frame should be provided for
shocking the corn, which may be con-
structed as follows Nail two pieces
of one -by-six-inch material five feet
long to one end of two-by-three
inch scantling ten feet long. Bore an
inch hole three or four feet from tho
end of the scantling to which the legs
have been nailed, and insert an iron
rod or something similar. Let the
free end of the scantling rest on the
ground the other end is, of course.
supported by the one-by-siX piece.
With the iron rod thrust through the
hole, the device is ready for use
The corn is placed in the four right
angles formed by the scantlings and

you notice on heating bits OF leaves
In the same way
We find then that the soil Is COM
posed of small particles or rock mix
ed with the remains of former
plants. and that by far tie larger
part consists OF these rock particles.
This suggests the thought that the
soil has been formed from the solid
rock such as are found beneath it.
And this. indeed, is what the men
who have studied the subject hayo
found to be true.
Geology teaches MS that at one
solid rock. At that time there was
nothing like what we now know as
the soil.
These rocks contained all the con-
stituents necessary to make soil
and all the substances which the
plants use as food with the excep-
ton Of the element nitrogen.
in forms In which the plants could
use IT, Suppose you had a sack OF
wheat.
You know that there Is plenty OF
food there to nourish you for some
time, but It is not In a very good
form to eat 80 long as 1t Is In the
whole wheat kernel.
One OF the first things you would
do would be to grind 1t to flour.
And that is one Of the first things
that nature does in preparing the
food Tor plants; she grinds the rocks
to flour.
In other words the first process In
the formation OF soil is the pulver-
ization of the rocks.
Nature uses several methods to
bring about the grinding or pulver-
ization or the rocks. The first OF
these Is change of temperature, or
heat and cold.
II you examine a piece Of granite
you will find that instead OF being
simple rock it is composed of dif-
ferent minerals cemented together.
Now these minerals are differently
affected by heat and cold. You know
that most substances expand when
heated. The amount of expansion
varies for the different minerals in
the granite and as as a result the
effect OF change in temperature is to
separate rock into smaller pieces.

Some one has defined the soil as
that portion OF the earth at or near
the surface which consists largely OF
fine particles"
And again It has been described as
that part Of the earth into which the
plants send their roots and from
which they take much of their food.
Well. II the soil is the portion of
the earth at the surface what is be-
low the soil? Most of you know that
II you dig down deep into the soil
you will come to solid rock.
Sometimes rock is reached a few
irches below the surface, and again
you must dig many feet before you
come to 1t, but sooner or later you
are sure to find bed of stone
We learn therefrom this first in
teresting fact that underneath all
soils are found solid rocks.
Now. If you were to examine a
sample soil with a strong magni-
flying glass or a microscope, you
would find that it is largely made
up Of very fine particles of rock.
Mixed with these particles is a

lowest mark ever recorded in the
month of November in the history of
Tulsa.
Persons who awoke yesterday morn
ing ard donned their summer apparel
expecting a continuance of the beau
tiful Indian summer, talked ugly
about the weather man before night
fall. and this morning the heaviest Of
winter clothing will be the order, and
even then the shivery blast will find
a way to penetrat to the skin.
Remarkable Contrast.
The contrast was remarkable. AT
O'Clock women crowded the streets,
wearing low neck waists and short
sleeves. and they were in season at
be seem and men walked peacefully
along with their coats thrown wide
open. The "big cloud" appeared on
the horizon, but Tulsa thought it lit
tie more than summer shower and
went busiy about its business, Then
the wind shifted and brought the
shivers. The storm broke and for fif-
teen minutes rain and hail fell in great
quantities and many on the streets
were wet to the skin. The cloud pass
ed on, but not the shivers. A rush
was made for nearby doors. coats
were buttoned up, collars turned up
and furs donned, but still the wind
went through"
Other clouds followed and fitful
snatches Of snow fell as the thermom-
eter dropped.
There is a good moral in this sud-
den change Of weather. The govern
ment weather bureau predicted the
change. and timed II almost to the
hour Friday morning. But Tulsa has
a habit Of disregarding weather pre-
dictions. Moral In the future
