Testing the Vitality Of Seeds.


When Il Is such an easy matter TO
test the seeds one proposes to plant, It
Is generally best 10 take the time 10 do
Il. This work may be done any time
now, and then the planter will be in
readiness with the advent OF spring. It
IL always best 70 procure seeds which
are 10 be purchased. or in any way
gotten from others. early In the season.
Upon their arrival let the first leisure
time be employed in determining their
Vitality.
On this subject Prof. G. Z. Morrow,
of the Illinois Industrial University,
writes the Prairie Farmer as follows:
"It Is probable there Is even less good
seed corn In the great corn-producing
regions Of the West than was 10 be
found last spring. 1t is especially i'm
gortant that farmers should be sure Of
Che vitality of the seed TO be used,
whether that grown by themselves or
that purchased. An experienced farmer
can form a pretty accurate opinion by
carefully examining the germ. Often a
look at the cob or kernels Is sufficient
to enable one TO decide against the
sample.
'But actual test, by sprouting, is by
far tho safest method. This need not
be especially troublesome. II is desira-
bic 10 select kernels from q considera-
BILE number Of ears, and from near the
middle OF the ears, as sometimes kerr
nels from tips or butts will germinate
when those near the middle will not.
"These kernels may be placed In earth
in any pan or dish, the earth being kept
moist and at moderate temperature, by
being kept in warm room. A still
more convenient method is TO place the
kernels between layers of moist cotton
or almost any kind Of cloth. II the
cloth is kept moist and the temperature
somewhere near sixty degrees, two or
three days time will show whether the
corn can be depended on for seed. II
Is safe TO make some discount from the
percentage which terminates, as the
conditions in early planting ma be less
favorable.
IF the ears are selected from bins or
cribs, care should be taken to Try those
near the center. at least In part. Mos,
farmers will admit the desirsbility OF
some mode Of testing seed corn, and
yet large majority fail TO make any
sufficient test. "

cnltnre Praiigue recommends test

alarm was given and Carey Warner, son OF

accident occurred, ran to the hank with his
mother, who had the presence OF mind to take
her clothes line. Carey saw the little one
out in the stream, and seiziDg the rope
plunged into the ice cold water and swan to
her. He seized her and both were hauled tc
land. All efforts to resuscitate her were Ia
vain; paralysis Of the heart having ensued
occasioned by the cold water. Little salli'
was the sweetest, brightest little girl we evel
saw, and only the day before, she was sever
years old and her mother made little party
for her. Her parents are prostrated with
grief, and have the sympathy OF the entire
community. The young man who rescued
her deserves great credit for his bravery anc
presence Of mind. DAN.
