are two applicants to take charge of the place. Both are men of personal honesty and integrity; one is a very brilliant speaker and writer on farm topics, a scientific agriculturist, if you please, whose books and lectures on agriculture are in great demand, a man whose eloquence is such that he is able to interest everybody in agriculture--but who is without experience in actual farming, who has never worked on a farm. The other candidate is not so well known as a writer on agriculture, but he has been in the work, harnessed to it for more than twenty 'years and in the actual management of large farms he has made a conspicuous success and bas been in demand to take charge of some of the greatest farms and has never during twenty years had time for any other work than actual farming.

A large and appreciative crowd attended the excellent concert at the band stand last Saturday night. A novelty in a form of a song by a few young ladies, dedicated to and in honor of the Burr Oak band, created a great deal of amusement. The following article on "Green Corn" from The London Daily Telegraph will be of interest to our readers. Kansas farmers may get some pointers on raising corn from the communication which was written by Lionel Brough. Here it is: "I was much interested in an article which appeared in your issue of a few days ago on the subject of 'Green For the last fifteen years I bave been a grower of this delicious vegetable with great success.

It will, I have no doubt, surprise some of your readers to know that my 'mealy patch' is within two miles of Charing-cross. After my first visit to South Africa I determined on the experiment of trying it in England, I bought some ordinary maize at the shop of a cornchandler, soaked it for two' days in cold water, prepared the ground with a fair quantity of manure, hoed a set of drills, planted the seed three inches deep, covered them over, patted the ground with a spade (this was at the end of April), and in less than five weeks my plants began to show. great knowledge in gardening was needed, as you may suppose. forgot to mention that the drills should be at least a foot apart, and the seeds in them at least four or five inches apart. After the plants are half a foot high they may easily be transplanted for ornamentation (and food) to other parts of the garden, where they make a beautiful background for any long beds, and will be found beautiful for the center of shaped beds, instead of cannas or other 'show leaf' plants.

When they begin to wither they should be pulled, as they have 8 'ghostly' appearance and rattle against each other in quite a noisy manner, but before this the 'cobs' should be gathered. My 'mealies' as I still call them, are over six feet high now, and they will grow one or two feet more, although they are in flower. This 'flower' is not unlike the pampas grass, and with the 'silk' shreds growing out of the tops of the cobs, form, indeed, a most beautiful plant. As a rule I seldom get more than four or (five cobs) out of each stem. Of course, like all plants, they vary; some have only one cob, and a few are barren.

From my usual crop I have enough to supply my own table and daily give my brothers and sisters in my profession a nice dish of fresh green corn. My supply is often hardly pressed by our American actors and actresses, who so often pay us a visit. Any of your readers who care to cultivate this beautiful and useful plant will find that they will get a fair crop, on almost any soil, by following my simple plan. When the season is over, and the 'Aurelias' (as my gardener called them) get unsightly, cut them down, and in a week's time dig up the roots (rather a tough job) burn the stalks and roots, throw the ashes of the bonfire over the ground, and top-manure it for the Miss Hannah Kivett and Mr. George W.

Cline were married at six o'clock last evening at the home of the bride's uncle and aunt, Mr. and Mrs. E. L. Paxson, Rev.

J. M. Willis officiating, after which followed congratulations and a delicious wedding dinner. Today the happy couple and friends are being entertained at an infare at the home of the groom's parents, Mr. and Mrs.

W. W. Cline. The young people will soon go to housekeeping on the parents' home place and have a host of friends who will wish them a happy and prosperous journey thru life.

Beeler, "If I were to give advice to a new beginner I would just tell him this is not a good year to start in. This is no time for experimenting in cattle feeding. The feeding next winter I think, will be largely done old feeders. And I do not believe they will feed the usual number.
