Improving Our Seed Wheat.

To show what excellent effects are to be
derived from a little pains taken in select
ing the finest and earliest heads for future
seeding, DR.. Lee, ofthc Nc7hvil'e Ame-i-
can, gives the following results: \ Cs'i-
fornia farmer has been exper menting in
planting wheat in hills and cultivati1g as
we do corn and cotton. In his last expert
ment he pdt only one seed in hill and
had the seed twenty six inches apart, so
that pound of wheat planted an acre. On
one half an acre he harvested forty bushels,
making seventy bushels from one pound OF
seed. At 80 pounds to the bushel the re-
turn gives 4,209 pounds of this cereal from,
one, or harvest of 4, 200 fold. Nothing i:
more indefinite than the tillering of this
grain, and the number of seeds that {may
be developed in each head. We have seer
so stems send up from one germ in Tenn
essee, and have counted one hundred ant
sixty seeds growing in one ear Of wheat il
Western New York. In the town of Wheat
land we had over forty varieties of whea
under experiment in 1916. There is far
mer in England who raises about 700 acre
Of pedigree wheat year. Assuming tha
one seed may produce fifty culms and ear
and each ear contains one hundred and SIX
ty seeds, the harvest would be the incFedi
BILE yield of eight thousand fold. W
know very little about the possibilities c
vital evolution, especially in regard to tn
cereal grasses. Pedigree plants are NOR
important than pedigree horses, cattle Q
sheep.

A W0man's Spite.

One of the quccr t manifestations OF
fem: nine rflcor that We have heard oflate-
ly is repor. d from Rochester. \ married
woman nameI Maggie CcnnoFs announced
to policeman that she wa about TO steal
a pair of shoes in order o be sent to the
parliamentary. He endeavore to dis
suade her, but she carried out her inten-
tino by pilfering from store pair of rub
Der shoes. With this trophy in her possess
ion Maggie made her appearance at the
police office and entered complaint aga nst
herself. Remonstrance was useless. She
declared that if not convicted nd sent up
she would commit some other crime. 10
fine of ten dollars was imp ased, with the
alternative of sixty days in the peni ontia-
ry. And then the motive for this aDga
performance came to light. This, woman
had been quarreling with her h,asband and
chose this method of wreakiag, vengeance
upon him. It is to be- hoped that Mr.
Connors will refuse to. gay the fine, and lei
his ingenious spouse serve out her sixty
days at hard lohor.-Toy Times.

We had only abont one month to or
ganize, and without documents to cir
culate and no means Of procuring
them, we cast between five and SIX
hundred votes. And every man who
voted the ticket can fell honored by it.
What could we have done had we
been properly organized? We havn't
doubt in our mind, but the Labor
ingmen's Ticket would have polled
from one thousand to twelve hundred
votes.
Let us all 90 to work and organize
for the Spring election. Let every
township and corporation in Perry
county put in the field Laboring
mems Ticket, and stand by it; and
mark our word for it. next fall we viii
show to these political teaches who are
robbing the honest laborers that VIZ
propose to take charge of this county
and Danish the political rings and car
ry on the county affairs in an honest
economical manner. Let every la
boring man stand firm and the day i
not far distant when our efforts will b
crowned with victory and plenty ant
happiness will take the place Of povert.

Odd Fellows.

There are many origins of the order Civ
en-, some of which are no donbt maDufac-
tured, as we have been unable to trace
their claim to the sources given. The fol-
lowing, however, bears upon its face more
evidence than any we have Of its great
antiquity:
The origin of the order csi Odd Fellows
was established by the Roman soldiers in
the camp during the tinaA of Nero and his
reign, in the year 55 They we're then
called, "Fellow Ci.iaens."E The present
name was given tharll by Titus Caesar. in
the year 7G, from, the singularity Of their
meeting. and fRaal their knowing each 9TH

gave them she, name Of Odd Fellows, but
