THE WOODCRUCK-M OF
STRATEGY.

The woodchuck shows strategy, not
only in his fighting, but in the construc-
ton of his defensive works, his burrow.
If you will take careful note next sum-
mer, on your walks, of all the wood
chuck holes you come across, you will
probably be surprised to find in how
many cases the animal can secure an
outlook of considerable radius either
from the mouth of the hole or point
conveniently near it. 1t may be IN the
open pasture, when it is more likely to
be on slope than in hollow, thus Sc
curing both outlook and better drainage.
1t may be among rocks, but within easy
distance of some peak which commands
prospect. 1t may be in the woods, in
or under fallen log, but the chuck can
climb the log to look about. 1t may be
among the scrub growth by an old stone
wall, and you. will say, "Ha, here is an
exception But do not be too hasty.
Some day, passing the spot, you will see
shrewd face and fat body up on the
wall. The woodchuck "digs inn like a
modern army. But, like an army, he
alec puts his trenches where they can
command the approaches. Walter Prich-

WORLDS CHAMPION CORN GROWER.

Raising 14l bushels of corn on an acre
at an expense of only $l3.73 tor rent,
seed, horses, labor, and husking helped
make Willard z ,ller, an Iowa farmer, the
champion corn grower of the world, &C.
cordlDg to an article in the current issue
OF Farm and Fireside, the national farm
paper published in Springfield, Ohio. And
when much of that corn has longer ears,
bigger kernels, and smaller cobs than
any other corn, the record is complete.
This is how MIR. Z4ller raises the cham
pion corn:
VERY early he came to understand
that the one biggest thing in the corn
business was good seed, and systemati-
cally began to develop it. A germina-
ton test was made Of large number of
ears. and from among them 10 ears, all
OF which tested 100 per cent perfect and
strong, were selected. Three huncred
kernels from each of these 10 ears were
planted, and the corn from each ear was
planted IN separate row. All grades
OF quality were represented, the best
ear yielding 1l8 bushels to the acre and
the poorest yielding only 81 bushels.
But they were not satisfied with one
test. They were anxious to verify their
experiments. and planted corn from the
same mother ears under similar conditions
the next year. The results were also
similar. The ear which was best the
hrst year was best this year also, and
produced yield of III bushels, and the
poorest ear was again poorest with a
yield of IS bushels.
The third year, under similar condi-
tons, there was the same great differ
ence IN quality among these ten original
ears from which the test was being made,
the hrst was again first with ia bushels,
ana the poorest was again poorest with
"a bushels.
The soil is plowed to depth of seven
inches in the fail. Early in the spring it
IS narrowed to make dust mulch, Bv
the narrowing it seems that the small
caplllary-like openings in the ground are
broken and the moisture that would
otherWlse escape remains IN the soil.
Just before planting, the ground is disked
ana then narrowed again, With the
soil soft and fine and warm it is in condi.
ton for planting. No fixed date is fol-
lowed, but the planting is usually done
In the early part of May"

RECORD MACKEREL CATCHES.
Fish Have Not Been Known So Plentiful
Since Civil War DAYS.

Fish Have Not Been Known So Plentiful
Since Civil War Days.
GLOUCESTER, Oct. 26. The schoon r
Victor, Capt. Douglass Mclean, which
arrived here this evening, had by far the
| largest single catch of mackerel of the
year, $50 barrels, ITO barrels which were
sailed and 280 barrels fresh fish, She
was literally loaded to the railroads. 1t
is estimated that the cargo will bring at
least 5000.
Coming across the bay today at noon,
school was sighted on the middle bank
about 50 miles from Eastern Point. The
seine was cast and the fish secured They
were all mediums to large. Tonight an
extra gang of dressers are engaged in
splitting and sailing.
Never in the history of the Fall mack
erel fishery has there been better strike
of mackerel on the Massachusetts shore
than during the present Fall, and espe-
clally during the past two days.
The big catches landed both in Boston
and this port bring JOY to the fishing in
terest here, to which three fourths of
the returns will coue. Frankly many of
the mackerel seining captains, when get
ting away to the ground the first of the
week, embarked on the voyage as a sort
of an experiment, expecting to find the
fish had disappeared down the southern
end of Cape Cod. Therefore the unpre-
cedented catch of the past two days is IN
the nature of windfall. The fish, Just
returned from the Northern feeding
grounds, are large and fat and in the
best possible condition.
Years ago the fish used to frequent
Massachusetts Bay, and the fleet, COM
prising, in addition to vessels from this
port. those from Maine and Cape Cod
ports, when anchored in this port for
shelter were so thick that one could al
most literally walk across the decks from
the harbor front to East Gloucester.
All last night the mackerel catch
poured in. All night long splitters and
gibbers worked hard trying to care for
the catch, salt mackere being in de-
mand, with prices rising. Shifts will be
put on day and night until all the fish are
under salt
Vessels are being reftted and sent
right out to the grounds again. The
fishermen are reaping harvest. Moth
ing like it has been known since the
Civil War.

ROCK OF AGES.
BY FRANK L. STANTON.


Rock Of Ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in thee
Sang the lady, soft and low,
And the melancholy flow
OF her voice, SO sweet and clear,
Rose upon the evening air
With that tender. touching prayer:
"Rock of Ages. cleft for me,
Let n hide myself in thee"
Yet she sang as oft she h ID
When her thouehtless heart was glad;
Sang because she sang alone.
Sang because her soul had grown
Weary with the tedious day.
Sang to while the hours away:
Brock of Ages, cleft for me.
Let me hide myself in thee"
Where the trembling starlight falls
On the mansions shadcwed walls,
On the chill and silent street
Wnere the lights and shadows meet
mere the lady's voice was heard
AS the deepening dusk was stirred
with the music of that prayer
Q1ivering through the icy air:
"Rock OF Ages cleft for me.
Let me hide myself in thee"
wandering, homeless, through the night,
Prsylng for the morning light;
Fale and haggard, lost and lone,
with no hand to hold her own,
went woman, one whose life
mao oeen wrecked in sin and strife:
10 whose soDgless lips prayer
never came from life's despair.
ana ner heart. by sorrow wrung,
Heard the lady as she sung:
ROCK OF Ages. cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in thee"
Pausing low her head she bent,
ana the music as it went
reached her sinking soul and brought
Back to her-as lost in thought
Irembilngly she stood-the past,
Whlie the burning tears fell fast
AS her heart reviewed the days
When she walked in virtues ways,
when she sang that very song,
with no sense of sin or wrong:
:'Rock of Ages cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in thee"
On the marble steps she knelt,
And her soul that instant felt
Mercy's healing touch, as there
Quivering moved her lips in prayer;
And the God she had forgot
Smile d upon her lonely lot,
Heard her as she murmured oft,
With an accent sweet and soft;
"Rock of ages cleft for me.
Let me hide myself In thee"
Little knew the lady fair,
AS she sag SO softly there,
That her voice had touched soul
That had lived in sins control;
Little knew when she was done
That lost and erring one
Heard her as she breathed that strain
Heard her. and came home again!
