Corn Cultivation-A Good Lesson.

Corn Cultivation-A GOOD Lesson.
In talk tho other day, . successful
farmer told VI OF how he impressed up
on his hired help the necessity Of pr ,pei
cultivation OF his corn crop. He had in
structed his man to 20 through the corn
with tho single horse cultivator after 1t

sary and that there was other work to
be done. After some discussion the
owner got little angry and said to bis
man: "You old fool, I'll pound this into
your thick head 80 you can see 1t. Go
through this field with the sing!s cultivs-
tor, but leave the last seven rows" When
the corn was harvested this fall the hir.
cd man had concrete lesson. The corn
that received the last cultivation was
superior to that produced on the last
seven rows and the particular point not
cd was that the ears were better filed
out, with plump, regular kernels clear to
the tip.
He also told rs that after harvesting
the corn he instructed the man to 90
through tho fold and pick up the ears
broken of. Tho man again protested
It a. wasted time and labor, but when
the job was completed it wss found that
for two days labor they received ap.
proximately two tons Of ear corn. Have

Why Buy a Season Ticket to the

Because with a season ticket you
get admission to 81 events at cost OF
less than seven cents each. Buy a
season ticket, so that you will not be

Rosani, DR.. Cadman and other celeb
rites. If you do not or cannot attend
all, pass your ticket to some other

is anxious to attend, but cannot raise
the necessary 35 or SO cents. 1t is

When the lightning OF the past two
weeks played around your barn or
house, 1t must have made you feel
good to know you had insurance in
the safe Old Line Companies in the
Agency of M. W. Magruder. You
know every policy issued by this
agency has on it the lightning CLAUSE,
which protects you not only from fire
caused by lightning, but from any
damage by lightning, whether fire en-
sues or not. The Old Line Companies
do this. All companies do not pro-
tect you from all damage that light
ming may cause. Better insure in a
company in which you know exactly
what your policy will cost, and that
gives full protection.

burned quantity Of hay, six hogs
and number OF chickens. It was In

near Cross Roads. in Powell's Fort,
was struck by lightning and burned.
His entire hay crop, reaper, drill
and other farming implements, and
a large number of chickens were
burned. There was no insurance.
Strange freaks were played at the
home of John Nestor at Columbia
Furnace. A bolt of lightning came
down the spouting and played over
the hinges of the door. Mr.. Nestor,
who was just inside the door, was
severely shocked, his wife was less
severely shocked, and their son was
thrown over the body OF his fathsr. A
Miss Wolverton was hurled through
the doorway into the yard. Mr..
Nestor was unconscious for several
hours, and his condition is i'm
proving. Mrs. Nestor and son and
Miss Wolverton have recovered from
the shock.
