Los indios aseguran que 10 que Sc We

perstici6n de que este animalito esta
consagrado al astro de la n0che.
En- muchas aldeas de Alemania sc
dice que la cara de la luna es la de un
ladr6n de ganado, que ueva cuestas
un saco lleno de hojas de col, con las
que atrae a las novillas Y le siguen

rotundamente el anterior, y declara
que EN- da luna sc We claramente un

Frank Schroeder comes up smiling
with report OF $500 bushels of the
finest barley he ever saw from a field
of sixty acres, an estimated average
of So Ia bushels to the acre. The
figures given are rough estimates from
the number of tank loads which were
drawn and IL anything they are more
likely to go better than those esti-
mated.
From the field Of Henry Schroeder
actual returns are made from 93 acres
of the 1875 acres OF barley. From SO
acres the yield was 1900 bushels, bet
ter than 81 bushels to the acre. the
shipment netting Mr.. Schroeder sS
cents a bushel.
The remaining 80 acres has not been
threshed and the average is over so
bushels to the acre. In money returns
Mr.. Schroeder win get close to $4,000
In round figures, which he says is the
biggest money return from a grain
crop he has ever received during his
twenty years experience as a farmer
in Clay county
The first shipment Of potatoes of
any moment. to be made from Clay
county was made from sabin last Sat-
urday, four cars by Louis Altenberg.
The yield little more than exceeded
125 bushels to the acre.
