The recent gentle rains have made

say that if it continues seasonable
it will be necessary to build some
old fashioned railpen corncribs to
hold the bumper crop.
In the Hico section. w. H. King

field for crimson clover to be

it and till it with fine crop of en-
silage.
Guy Kirk exhibits a nice collec-
ton of home conyeniences, which
