They we're in the smoking room at
the hotel, and conversation had
turned upon, the subject of myster-
ious midnight noises. Each in turn
related some little anecdote, when a
spare young man in the corner sud-
denly rose to his feet.
Gentlemen" said he, your expe-
riences are very interesting, but for
real awe give me the roaring of the
lion or sharp trumpeting of an ele-
plant borne to you on the still night
air as you lie silent, neither asleep
nor awake"
They stared at him in surprise.
Was this pale youth, then, some great
traveller?
Excuse me-" one asked, ''but have
you then really slept in the jungle
and heard these mighty beasts as
they roamed about by night"
"Well, it's not exactly that" re-
piled the youth, as he reached for
the handle of the door. But I al
ways sleep with my windows open,
and my lodgings are by the Zeologi-
cal Gardens"

be handled in such a manner as to dry
out thoroughly before freezing wealth
err. This can be easily done by max
ing racks in which the ears are placed
and swung up in the granary or barn
in a dry and well ventilated place
where the mice will not get at it.
Another convenient way of storing
corn is to take board, say 10 by 20
inches, and drive 12-penny casing
nails through it from both sides,
three inches apart each way, and stick
the ears on these nails. A board Of
this size is convenient and will hold
"a ears, enough to make bushel of
good seed corn, which will plant sew
en- or eight acres. Bore a hole in the
top of this board and suspend with
wire.
If corn is stored in barrels, or piled
up, it will not dry out as well as If
stored in racks, and when freezing
weather comes on it will be injured.
If thoroughly dry, a severe freeze will
not injure the vitality of the corn to
any appreciable extent.

Rotation of Crops.
1t is a matter of common observa-

feeds to a slight extent upon rye and

clover, or corn, oats, wheat and clover,
should prove effective In freeing land
of Hessian flies.
Burning Of stubbIe.
One of the first things to be done at
this time Of year in clearing the farm
of Hessian flies is to see that all
wheat stubble is burned or plowed
under. This should. If possible, be
done by the middle of August.

ter wheat does not prevent infestation
by the fly, but it does, by giving the
young wheat plants a good start, pre-.
vent severe damage. On most soils
continuous discing will secure this

The use of fertilizers are to be rec.
commended in this connection. They
help to carry the plants through the
period when they are young and weal
and most liable to injury from the fly

Besides these methods of combat
ting the pest, it may be said tina
while there are no varieties of whes
which are free of Hessian fly damage
there are varieties which resist the
damage better than others. Those va

and but few tillers are the ones whicl
suffer most.

least injured, and is also a variety

key Red" is also fairly resistant to
the i1essian fly.
Damage to the wheat may be large
ly prevented by (1) burning or plow-
iAa-under- the -stubhle of infested
fields, (2) by preparing good seed
bed, (3) using fertilizers, and a. by
seeding with strong, vigorous wheat.

Ely careful attention the lamb may be
kept going until it has gained suffi-
cient strength to stand and get it's
dinner alone.
A most perplexing problem that the
shepherd must meet is the eve that
will not own her lamb. The case is
handled in a number of ways. Some
hold the eve regularly for the lamb to
suck and some rub milk from the eve
on the lambs head and runp. A plan
that often works we'll is to conflne the
eve and lamb In very email pen,
the sides of which are lined with gun
ny sacks or something to keep the
eve from looking cut. This tends to
keep her attention on TIE lamb, and
within two or three days she usually
claims it. Another method of comm
ing the eve is by fastening her head
between two upright pieces. The lamb
will usually learn to get its meal II
she IL held in this way.
The orphan lamb is another prob
lem. and here again the skill Of the
shepherd is a determining factor. II
such . lamb must be raised by hand 1t
will seldom pay for the time and milk

sary not only for the best develop

also fo- the proper nourishment of the
lamb up to weaving time. Personal
observation leads me to believe that
this is one of the most common mis-

SAVING CORN FOR SEED.
SELECTING EARS BEFORE GATH.
ERING TIME MOST Salts
FACTORY METHOD.
BY c. B. Hutchinson, Assistant Pro.
fessor of Agronomy, Univer
sity of Missouri.

The same reasons that make it nee
essary to select animals carefully in
breeding live stock also make 1t nee
essary to select ears of corn carefully
if one wishes to grow better corn. A
good ear of corn will produce other
ears like 1t If conditions are favorable,
and for this reason only good ears
should be selected for planting. If
we should all take as much care in
selecting our seed corn as the breed
er of animals does in selecting ami
mails the yield of corn in Missouri
would be greatly increased.
This matter of corn breeding" as
1t has come to be called, offers great
opportunities to the wide-awake man
or boy who knows good corn when he
sees it. The time is rapidly coming
when we shall have corn-breeders in
every neighborhood from whom We
must buy our seed corn, just as We
now have breeders Of pure-bred ami
mails from whom we must buy our
breeding stock. There is great oppor-
tunity for the right young man in
every neighborhood to be a leader in
the improvement of corn.
Seed corn should be selected in the
fall, preferably from the field after it
is we'll matured and before any heavy
frosts have occurred. One Of the best
methods is to 60 through the field
with a basket or sack and select the
best ears from the best stalks. An
ear of corn may be good one be-
cause it has had special advantages.
It may have been produced In a hill
with only one stalk and have had
more than its share Of plant food. On
the other band, it may have grown in
. hill with two or three stalks and
made COED ear in spite Of these con-
ditions. Such an ear is . better one
for seed, and when planted will be
more likely to produce good ears than
one that has had special advantages.
Again. the ear may have been pro-
duced on a weak stalk that has blown
down, or has been born too high or
too low on the stalk. The position Of
the ear may be erect, % that the fall
rains enter the husks readily, or Il
may be dropping and well protected
from the weather. Such points may
be considered II the seed 10 selected
in the field, but one knows nothing

Round of Bout.

Kid Clemens, of this city, showed
superiority over Tony Bender, Of
Railway, in the main bout before
the patrons of the Richmond A. G..

night. The go lasted nine of the ten
scheduled rounds because Bender's
manager notified the referee to stop
the bout In the final stages Of the
ninth when the game Railway lad
who was trying to last the ten
rounds was SO weak as to be hardly
able to stand.
Clemens had too much strength,
for Bender who was able to use his
mits nearly as good as Clemens
throughout the bout. The local
boys awful wallop told on Bender

told on Clemens. The first three
rounds were even, all the rest were
Clemens's but the sixth which went
to Bender when he completely out
fought the local lad. If Bender had
strong punch in this round when he
landed six clean blows, he no doubt
would have had his man groggy.
Young Levin, Of New Brunswick.
was too clever for Frank McCor-
mick's protege who Is known as
Young Duffy, of Philadelphia. Duffy
took the count in the seventh round
of a scheduled ten round affair. It
was after a series of fast left and
right wallops which ended u with
a terrible left that sent Duffy to the
mat. The Philadelphia boy showed
game form but was unable to find
Levins, who is probably one of the
best defensive boxers yet Leen at
the Richmond. At the same time
Levins was landing telling blows,
which finally ended the fray via the

located Heydler's face and after

Fighter DiIlon's Career.

Ernest Cutler Price Jack Dillonl
one of the stars in the middleweight
division Of pugllists, climbed through
the ropes of life at Frankfort. Ind,
Feb. 2. 1891. He made his first ap-
pearance as professional fighter at
the age of seventeen. Before he was
long in the game he had thirteen knock.
outs to his credit. among his victims
being Ray Bronson and Kid Sullivan.
Since 1900 Dillon has met nearly all
OF the best middleweights in the coun-
try. He has lost twice to Eddie Nc
Coorty and once to Frank Klaus. De-
spite these defeats Dillon is consid
cred by many critics to be worthy
contender for the title last held by the
late Stanley Ketchel. The Indians
boy has good left and a fair right
and displays a willingness to mix at all
times.
