They turned away In silence and went down the road to the tavern with Its welcome fire, its cider, and comrades. The women were forced to remain at home; they gossiped with their daughters or their kinsfolk around the great hearth fires. Their needles were busy, their spinning wheels hummed; their lives were narrow, but there was work to be done as well as food for gossip. Only Dolores was idle. She stood at window staring with unseeing eyes at the storm outside, straining her ears in vain to catch the hum of voices in her fathers room men' were brawny firoofth slight in weight rope ran out Grler out and down B. was sleeping what he needed.

Recently a man that bad attended a good many farmers' Institutes expressed it as bis belief that we have many breeds of corn. lie thought It would be a good Idea to bold a congress of corn growers and decide on two varieties, one yellow and the other white, and then to advise the farmers to discard all other varieties and stick to the growing of those two varieties or to one of the varieties. We doubt if the situation would be improved by such a move. The. development of corn varieties is bound to go on under tbe same stimulus tbat ha given us more than 2.000 varieties of apples, a few of which are really good. The fact Is that at present we know very little about the corn plant as to adaptability of different varieties to different situations. Doubtless we will find that there are great differences In this regard. We have yet to fit our varleucs to our localities. We will suppose that the congress named was held and that Boone seCounty White and Learning were lected as the varieties to be grown. Then what about the very large stretch ol country in the North that Is growing only flint corn and can grow only flint corn, as It Is too cold for the development of the dent varieties? It Is evident that the season differ greatly in length In various place and that the corn variety that will do best in a certain locality must be regulated to some extent by the time it take to reach maturity after the ground gets warm enough to sprout the seed. There Is also a great difference In moisture requirement a be looked his of different varieties, and this must a sore foot, which has prevented him Manager Joe Kelley, one over, but never a lot more also count for much In the developing from playing bis fastest game for St. new steady than the one Cincinnati ha of new varieties.
