Mrs. Dee Weese was alone at the time, but the report quickly spread and neighbors hastened to thelr ussistance. Very little of the household goods were saved. The house and contents were valued at $2,000, and Mr. DeWeese carried only $500 insurance. We understand it 1s Mr, De Weese’s inten son to rebuild on the old site. The corn cob is a great American fuel. Unless picked up fn a dirty-pig pen, the corn cob makes clean fuel and a quick fire, In shelling corn, we always figure the cobs as paying for the shelling, leaving an extra of four to five pounds to the bushel and the saving in hauling as profit, But weimagine corn selling days are over on this farm, There {s too much stock ratsed, and the farm needs the manure from all the stock that can be handled, for the owner to think of selling corn for the market price.— Farmer and Stockman.
