Corn is backward and a late fall will be necessary there to mature a great deal of it, the same as here. Many fields there, as here, never can make corn, it being too small to ever hope to mature.
The High Court Catholic Order of Foresters at its international meeting at St. Paul this week voted by a large majority to bar wholesale and retail liquor dealers and bartenders in saloons and other places where liquors are sold from becoming members of that body.

OBITUARY.
Rebeoca J. Smith, daughter of John A. and Nancy Smith and grand-daughter of William and Rebeoca Kenton, was born Aug. 15,1841. Her parents came from Champaign Co., Ohio, and settled on this homestead in 1839, they being among the earliest settlers of this county. This daughter was the first child born to the parents after coming to Jasper county. It has been the lot of the family to have the care of orphan children during their entire life, and the sorrowing grand-children of her parents for whom she has so kindly spent her life in ministering to, tell the sincere love they held for her who lias been a mother to them. She had lived a quiet life with no thought but to be true to tbe ones left in trust to her. She died August 4th at the Mary Thompson hospital in Chicago, and was attended in her last hours., by the nieces and nephew who had been her care for many years. Had she lived until Aug. 15 she would have been 66 years of age. There were twelve children born to her parents, two of whom now survive, Mrs. Mary A. Walker and Miss Sarah Smith, who resides at the homestead. The funeral services were conducted Wednesday by Rev. G. H. Clarke of the Christian church, at the residence of James Newcomb. Interment took place in Smith cemetery. | w ***
STACKING WHEAT.
Voss to Farmers From Leaving Grain In the Shock. Years ago it was a common custom C*> stack the wheat as soon as it was Well cured in the shock, but gradually ! ihis custom was abandoned until in many parts of the country it was a rare sight to see n stack. Learning From Experience. Of recent years a reaction seems to be slowly taking place and stacking is again coming into fashion, according to a writer in American Agriculturist. The reason for this is not in doubt. It is the bitter and costly experiences that have come home to farmers through deavlng their grain in the shock until the machine came around. Of course, when nobody stacked and the thrashing season occupied six weeks or more, a majority of the crops were necessarily left standing in the shock for weeks, exposed to storms and winds. In Midsummer. Now, of course, while it is a fact that rainy seasons in July are uncommon, they are of sufficiently regular occurrence to make the damage they inflict far outweigh the cost of annually stacking or storing the grain. Protecting the Crop. Stacking can be carried on every moment of the day that the wheat is dry enough to handle. If the stack is uncompleted at night or when a shower comes up it can be covered with a tarpaulin. With his grain once safely in the stack the farmer is independent of the weather and tbe machine boss and can go about his other work serenely conscious that he has done bis duty in safeguarding his principal cash crop.
LOW DOWN BARROW.
Ita Capacity Is Double That of the Ordinary Kind. The drawing shows a low down barrow in sufficient detail to enable any one to make a similar one. We think that next to the low down cart it is the handiest thing around the buildings and garden that we have, says a writer in Farm and Fireside. Its capacity is more than double that of the ordinary kind, and the load is much more easily put aboard. It has the advantage of getting into close quarters where the cart would not go, and for use about the feeding alleys, the stable, the lawn and the garden there is hardly anything that will take its place. For the framework get two pieces of hard wood 2 by 2 inches which will, project to form handles on one end and for the wheel frame on the other. At front end of box in rear of wheel a piece of the same dimensions is mor tlsed Into the frame to hold it rigidly and to make the front end of box frame. Pieces 1% by 1% inches are also mortised into the bottom of the legs, both front and back. These form

the foundation for the floor, which should be of three-quarter inch boards. The legs are mortised into the shaft or handle pieces, the front ones resting about three Inches from the ground and the rear ones securely braced, as shown in the cut If desired the sides may be built from the floor solid and straight up. but we find it better to have a permanent bed from floor to top of handles, with removable side hoards to slip on for use in handling bulky stuff. Heavy material, such as bags of fertilizer, large stones, etc., are easily handled with this type of barrow, aB they may be loaded between the bandies directly from the ground. Yon will be wise to lay in your fall supply of clothing and shoes at the big sale, Aug.. 10 to 24.
