GRIM PLACES CORN
HYBRIDS ON THE SPOT

University Farm agronomists
are continuing their search for the
most productive and best adapted
corn varieties for Minnesota farms.
Again in 1889 a series Of eight field
trials in representative corn grow
ing regions of Minnesota will be
carried out by Ralph F. Grim, ex-
tension agronomist, in cooperation
with the Minnesota Hybrid Germ
Growers Association, commercial
seed companies Of Minnesota, the
Experiment Station, and farmers in
the areas in which the experiment.
al fields are to be located. Grim
expects trials will be conducted in
Mobiles, Watonwan, Nicollet, Dodge,
Huston, Meeker Yellow Medicine,
and Otter Tail counties in 1889.
This will be the third year for
these tests.
Grim finds that two favorable
corn years have resulted in farmers
being overly optimistic concerning
the length of the corn growing sea-
son. This means that many people
will be an easy prey for those who
would sell unadapted hybrids.
Eighty-nine different lots of seed
were put through strict field exa-
limitations under Crim's expert eye

Famous whirlpool

The maelstrom Is a famous, but
overrated whirlpool of the north
west coast Of Norway between Mos
kenas and Mosken. two Of the Lotto
den islands. It is more properly a
strong current than whirlpool. This
current flows alternately six hours
from north to south and six hours
from south to north, and especially
at the changes produces angry
whirls, which may sometimes be
heard for several miles. The strait
is navigable under ordinary weather
conditions, either at low or high
tide. During a northwest wind the
passage becomes exceedingly dam
gerous. and few craft attempt to
cross 1t then, since the currents are
then strong enough to inundate q
small vessel or toss q larger one
against the rocks. The depth Of

great for soundings, II only q little

BOY ON BICYCLE
HIT BY AUTO

A boy, returning home after
Church services on his bicycle, mar.
rowly escaped serious injury Sun
day evening when a car, reported
with two men passengers, struck
the vehicle.
The boy is Ode Fish, son OF
Mrs. ]. A. Fish, of this city, who
escaped without injury when the
car hit the rear wheel, demolished
it, about $3.50 p. m. The accident
occurred as he was crossing the
Main Street bridge to his home.
Ode told his mother after the
accident that the car followed him
to the curb. He swerved to get
out Of the way and succeeded all
but getting the rear wheel out of
the path Of the car. "If I hadn't
swerved, I might not have been
here" his mother reported him as
saying this week. The impact
threw him clear of the bicycle, ov-
er the front.
HE landed on his knees, I sup
pose," Mrs. Fish said, "but he must
have been relaxed when he fell"
Mrs. Fish, who made a hurried
examination of her son as soon
as he arrived after the accident
reported him unframed, and with
out even a scratch.
The damage to the bicycle wasn't
so bad, Mrs. Fish pointed out, so
long as her son had escaped with
out any harm.

Curiosity Killed Cat,'
Taken From Old Saving

The saying Curiosity killed the

Of the older saying, Care killed the

petuated more by sound than sense,

Herald. A proverb known in Eng

mortal says that cat has nine lives,
yet care will wear them out. Hang
sorrow, care will kill a cat" occurs

George Wither, who died in 1867.
The same line is attributed to Ben

This proverb probably referred orig
inaIly to the fact that cats are fire.
quently so petted and pampered that
they sicken and die. However, cats
are not usually thought Of as being
especially curious.
Why "Care killed the cat" was
changed to Curiosity killed the cat"
is puzzling question. One writer
says a plausible explanation of this
change is found in the fact that one

Cats Said to Have Come
From Section in Egypt

Where did Puss come from origi-
nally? Her first home, like that Of
wheat, tea, and other commonplace
things, is lost in the past. Her name,
Puss, is form of Perse (Persian),
according to writer in London Tit
Bits magazine.
Experts tell us that cats migrated
from ancient Egypt in two direc-
tons, after crossing into southern
Europe. The first tribe went north
ward and westward; these appear
as the wild cat of the Carpathian
and Hartz mountains. and the north
Of Scotland. The others went east
ward and northward; these pro-
duced the familiar Persian cat.
From the same tribe came the tail
less Manx variety, whose home was
in Japan before it reached the Isle
Of Man. A third kind arose from
the same source, in the East Indies,
with short, smooth tail having a
knob at the tip.
Puss lost her high character rap
idly after the old Egyptian times.
She got mixed up with Satan,
witches and that kind of thing. A
witch, it was said, loved to change
herself into a cat.
1t was once common trick in
country markets to tie up cat, in
stead of sucking-pig, in bag, and
offer it for sale. Should any coun-
try mouse not want to buy a pig in
poke" he must first '.let the cat
out Of the bag"
