PIMM SEED CORN
FROM IHE MICE
From Friday's Dally.
O. M. Olson, ol the Minnesota
Agricultural college, in the Da
kota Farmer, explains several
methods for protecting seed corn
from mice. As they are quite ap
propriate at this time, we reprint
them for the benefit of our read
er J:
iJj.O" of the requirements in the
wfnler storage of seed corn is to
have it stored beyond the reach of
mice. Many a bushel of good seed
corn has been completely de
stroyed during the winter by the
depredations of mice. There can
he no excuse for thinking that the
mice may not find it. " They in
variably tlo find it, and unless it
is amply protected, serious dam
age is hound lo occur. The only
advisable course lo follow is lo
nrennre for I hem when the corn
is put in storage.
"If the corn is stored by hang
ing it up with string or Iwine, it
is a good plan to stretch several
lengths of strong fence wire in
the store room, and suspend Ihe
where it is stored on corn trees.
the lower portion of the upright
should be completely wrapped
with tin for a few inches, or
circular niece of tin filled about
this lower portion.
"Anolher good method of stor
age is to make up several crates
and line I hem w ith w indow screen.
They can be made up any size,
preferably about two feel by three
feel, using four-inch fence board
material in making them. By
making Ihe sides comparatively
open, it permits a good circula
tion of air through the crate, and
still the linings will prevent any
damage from mice. Good seed
corn deserves ample protect ion."

former student of that institution
who has become quile prominent
in the legal profession in New

Emory Roy Buckner, a member of
the law class of 11)01, and who for
several years was a student at tho
Plattsmouth schools, while his
father, Rev. J. D. M. Buckner,
was pastor of the Methodist,
church at this place. E. H. Wes
colt was a close friend of Mr. '
Buckner, they being seatmales in
school, and a. very wurm friend
ship grew up between the two
young men.
Mr. Buckner has just been ap
pointed by the investigating com
mittee of the New York board of
aldermen as their counsel in the
work of investigating the police
department of thai city, and the
honor may be 'appreciated when
the names of such eminent legal
lights as ex-Governor Frank S.
Black, William Travel's Jerome
and William M. kins were con
sidered as attorneys for the in
vestigation. The leading citizens
urged Ihe appointment of Mr.
Buckner, including Dr. Lyman Ab

in this capacity in Hie sugar trust
fraud cases that he first began to
attract, attention as one of the
leading lawyers of the New Y'ork
bar, and bis advancement to the
front has continued from that
time.
As a debator Mr. Buckner won
high honors while a student at the
stale university, representing that
school in the debates with Kan
sas in 11)0.') and 1 1 ' 0 ' . and was
also very prominent in Ihe various
College societies. While a student
at Harvard law school he was very
studious aud repeatedly won the
praise of the instructors, and it
was on Ihe recommendation f
the late Dean James Barr Ames
and other members of the faculty
that he was selected as assistant
district, attorney of New York in

landed in New Y'ork.
