The seed corn tree can be made from
AKA or a 6x6 timber stood upright
on the floor. This will necessitate a
base to keep it from tipping over. If
6x6 be used. the corners may be
dressed down to such an extent as to
make an eight sided post In each of
these sides, nails may be driven on
which a row of corn may be hung.
The method of hanging is to crowd
the butt of the ear of corn into the
nail, inserting the nail into the pith
or soft part of the cob. A rack of
this nature will hold two bushel of
corn very nicely.
Another, or the fourth practice,
Of spikes or nails in the wall of the
seed corn room gives good satisfac-
ton. The nails are driven into the
walls the same as the seed corn tree
and the ears hung on the nails in the
same manner. Where the room is

can keep the mice away from the seed
corn by very simple device, namely
to cut out sheets of tin and nail them
to the legs of whatever device is con-

a three to five inch fange protruding
from the posts. Mice will be unable
to get over this protection.

KILLED BY TEAM.
Lang Run Over While Getting
Tombstone for Wife's Grave.

Emil Lang, pioneer and hi ghly
respected citizen of Synnes, was run
down by his team last Tuesday at APP
pleton about 2 O'Clock and died of his
injuries few minutes after the ac-
cident.
Mr.. Lang and his son Gus. went
to Appleton Tuesday to get a monu-
ment for Mrs. Lang's grave. she bav-
ing died about z years ago Accord
ing to Appleton Press Gus and Carl
Stucke. who sold the stone, went
ahead with the young team and the
elder Lang followed with the old
team. Upon arriving at the tracks,
they backed the wagon up to the car
and Gus and Stucke went inside to see
the monument. Meanwhile the elder
Lang arrived and tied his team to a
telephone pole across the street from
the depot. Shortly after a freight
train pulled through the yards and
young Lang got out to watch the train
pass. He noticed that the engineer
seemd greatly excited, motioning with
mis- cap in the direction of the car
where the team had been left. Gus
ran around just in time to see the
team disappear down the street.
Meanwhile, Mr.. Stucke. who was in
the depot settling for the freight
charges. rushed out, and seeing Mr..
Lang lying in the street hurried to
his side and assisted him to his feet.
The injured man was conscious and
when asked how he was hurt said that
the wagon had run over him, passing
from the left shoulder to the right
nip and that his back panied. Hav.
ing been assisted to the depot plat.
form and made as comfortable as pos
sible, he expired within a few mo-
ments. DR.. Shelver arrived at his
side within ten minutes after the ac-
cident but MIR. Lang was ali but gone
when the doctor got there.
1t is thought that the freight train
frightened the team and that Mr..
Lang IN ondeavoring to stop them
was knocked down and run over or
dragged considerable distance. The
team was stopped near Brown's feed
barn. after the wagon had been
wrecked at the corner of tie city
park.
The body was taken to the Becker
undertaking parlors and embalmed
and Tuesday night it was taken to
the home of Albert Lang, in Hegbert,
a brother of the deceased.
Mr.. Lang was the father of lO
children, z sons and 3 daughters. He
was nearly 63 years old. The funeral
was held aay from the Fairfield
Evangelical church.
