SEED GRAN.

Seed grain, whether barley, oats,
wheat or fax, should be selected with
great care. The Idaho Station advo-
Gates testing the grain before sowing.
This can be done by the farmer, it
says, and requires but u few days.
The seed may be sown i'll box of soil
and the box kept in Il warm exposure.
The soil must be kept moist.
Another and easier way is to float n
piece OF thick sheet cotton on water.
The grain to be tested is placed on the
cotton an / is covered with similar
shoot. On removing the cover the
grain is exposed to view, and the
sprouted grain can be quickly
counted.
A good germinator or seed tester
can be made out OF coal-oil can, u
block of wood and two pieces of cloth.
Cut one Of the sides out of the can.
Place the block of wood within the
can, allowing it to rest on the bottom.
The block should be two inches thick,
about as wide as the can and three
fourths as long. Pour one to one and
one-half inches of water in the can.
Stretch one of the ends OF the cloth to
dip in the water. The other piece of
cloth is used for cover and is put on
in the same way. The seeds to be
tested are put between tho folds of
cloth. Capillary attraction keeps the
cloth damp. Keep clean and fresh
water in the germinator and set in
warm place.
To prevent smut use one pound OF
"blue-stone" to four gallons of water.
Allow the grain to remain in contact
with the liquid for i've minutes.
Never SOW seed that is foul with
seed of weeds and other grains. The
wild oats must be got out of the way.
A great help in this direction is to de-
stroy MS much of the wild oat seed as
possible. Every seed sown brings
forth nearly q hundred more. New

The strong facial resemblance which
married couples often acquire after
living together a long period of years,
harmonious in thought and feeling,
and subject to the same conditions in
life, has often been commented upon.
The Photographic Society, of Geneva,
recently took the pictures of seventy
eight couple for an investigation of
this subject. The result was that in
twenty-four cases the resemblance in
the personal appearance of the hus-
band and wife was greater than that
of brother and sister; in thirty cases
it was equally great and in only
twenty-four was there total absence
OF resemblance.

vinced that no money-making scheme
is too rascally for some men, as wit
ness the gang lately arrested in New
York, which for years has been plum
dering insurance companies and cruelty
killing horses in order to secure in
surance money. They rented a stable,
filled it with fine horses, good har-
nesses and carriages, getting as large
insurance upon the contents as was
possible. Then u lot of worthless
horses, worn-out wagons, etc, were
substituted and the stable set on fire.
The gang is known to have destroyed
more than dozen stables, involving
the death of 100 or more horses The
law having got these rascals in it,

be given them that will serve as q
warning to others.

A MODEL FARM.

Elmdale farm, owned by George ".
SWEET & Son, is one of the best farms
in Hampden Corner, Me. In the large
COW barn they have a silo Quilt on a
level with the hoor), SKIS feet base
measure and seventeen feet high, filled
to about two thirds its capacity with
fine cut corn fodder, which they have
been successfully feeding this winter.
The corn was cut, then carried by
power and dropped into the silo, where
it was levelled and trodden like hay in
n NOW. No weights were used. 1t is
now carried in baskets TO the cribs and
the grain rations are scattered over it.
Two quarts of grain fed in that way
are as good us three fed alone. It is
needless to say that Mr.. SWEET intends
to fill his silo another season.
A tank is placed on the upper floor
of the stable, SO that water may be
carried to the barns. The water is
supplied by Il windmill. There are
two of these on the farm, one near the
buildings and one in the pasture.
In front of the cattle, running the
whole length OF the crib, is covered
trough, six inches each way, and lined
with zinz. A little hot water put into
The tank tempers the drink for the
animals. 1t is carried by pipes to the
trough. The stable, also, is very con-
venient and fitted for four horses.
The farm workshop is well stocked
with woodworking tools, and has ali
anvil and forge. Cold and rainy days
are spent here pleasantly and profit
ably.
Mr.. SWEET sets tho tires as we'll as
rims the wheels, and has invented a
simple but effective device for that
work. Other inventions of his are a
drill, punch and u machine to cut
iron pipe.
Commencing in the milk business
twenty-six years ago, Mr.. SWEET drove
the cart himself for seven years, miss
ing only three trips during that time.
Twenty-four years ago he bought this
farm of 100 acres, pleasantly situated
at Hampden Corner, six miles from
Bangor. Tho largo convenient build
ings are kept in thorough repair. =

the trees and lessen the excellence of
the fruit. The duration of the trees
is lessened, and they perish much
sooner than under better treatment.
First of all, the superiority of broad
cast cultivation should be appreciated,
as compared with only narrow strips
or circles of cultivated ground. The
roots of both Joung and old peach
trees extend from the foot of the
trees to distance of at least equal to
the height OF the trees. This we have
proved by experiments, showing that
the trees, ten and twelve feet high,
send out roots thirteen feet in length
and are increased in growth by manure
placed at that distance. 1t is there
fore of little comparative Importance
whether the narrow spot at the base
of the tree receives manure or not
There could be, therefore, but little
objection to the side branches extend
ing nearly to the ground.
There are several reasons for such
low headed trees. The annual prun-
ing or cutting back is more easily per-
formed, much of it being done while
the operator stands on the ground
The thinning, which all heavy bearing
trees should receive, is more easily
done. The fruit may be more easily
gathered. There will be but little
ground that may not be subjected to
horse cultivation, for the shade of the
foliage above will prevent much
growth of weeds closely around the
stem aad light and broad harrow
will stir nearly all the soil by passing
under.
Planters who wish to adopt the low
headed, compact training, should not
purchase trees more than year old,
or which have heads already formed
several feet high; but procure one
yaar trees from the bud, or else those
which have already been trained with
in few inches OF the ground. -Coun-

DUKE OF WELLINGTON
CAREER OF ENGLAND'S GREAT
EST GENERAL.
Tho Victories Won by Him Conferred n
Crown OF Glory Upon His Country-Hon-
ors without Measure We're Showered
Upol Him.



The time may perhaps come when,
war being thing of the distant past,
the successful general, through whose
efforts country is victorious over its
enemies, will not receive the applause
and praise of men. At present, hoW-
ever, we are far from this state, and
no man now receives greater honor
than he who has led a winning fight.
or III, n who in modern times have
been thus distinguished one of the
greatest was Arthur Wellesley, Duke
of Wellington. Certainly he was the
greatest soldier England has ever pro-
duccd and one of her finest men.
Arthur Wellesley was born May !, i,
1863, in Ireland. From early life he
was destined for the career of a SOL
dter and was given military educa-
ton in France at the College of An
gers. In 1877 he entered the English
army and, few years later, first saw
actual service in the Duke of York S
army in Holland. In 1896 he went
to India with Il company of soldiers
under his command, where his broth
er, the Marquis Wellesley, arrived
shortly after as Governor General.
The First Victory.
1t was here that the young soldier
won his first victory. 1t was during
the Maharatta war, and with only a
handful of men he came across a
large force of the enemy. He COM
pIctcIy Overcame them. thus securing
" nf A
victory of Argaum followed and the
fort of Gawulghur, supposed to be al
most imprcgnable, also capitulated
to Wellesley. For this he received
honors at home, was made Knight
Commander of the Bath and Chief
Secretary of Ireland. He also won a
seat in the House of Commons and
was publicly thanked by that body
for his services.
The next scene of this great sol
dier's triumphs was Spain and Por-
tugal, whittier he went to assist in
the expulsion of the French. The
battles of Nimiera and Talavera freed
Portugal from the French dominion
and Wellesley now turned his atten-
tion to Spain. During this campaign
he won the battle of Salamanca over
Soult, one Of his most brilliant vic
tories and finally pursued the French
army into France. He received sew
cral titles from the English govern
ment for these victories, the last be-
Ing Duke of Wellington, and large
grants of money were made him.
Again he was formally thanked by
Parliament and it may be here
noted that twelve times during his

career was this special honor paid
him. AS a crOwning glory after his
Spanish campaign Wellington was
made field marshal of England.
The Field OF Waterloo.
In July, 1914, Wellington was ap-
pointed ambassador to France, and
in that capacity went to the Congress
of Vienna. While this body was sit
ting Napoleon escaped from Elba,
and the sessions were broken up. 1t
seemed probable that Napoleon would
go to Belgium, and to this country's
defense proceeded an army under
Wellington and one from Prussia un-
der Blucher. The battles of Ligny
and Quatre Bras were succeeded,
June IS, 1915, by the great engage
ment of Waterloo. 1t was undoubt-
edly the greatest battle in modern
times. The invincible Frenchman
and the undaunted Englishmen met
to try conclusions, and on the issue of
that contest, it is not too much to
say, hung the fate of the world. To
recapitulate the events of that men,
orable day, to show how the French
forces were gradually forced to yield
until victory was no longer possible,
would take too long in this place.
There was no question that the vic
tory was in the hands of the English
and Prussians, and that the French
were no longer to be considered the
conqucrors of the world.
After the battle WELLINGTON
marched on Paris and there, at the
request of the allied sovereigns, re.
mained for three years in command of
the army Of occupation. IIonors
without measure were showered on
Wellington by the English Govern.
ment; large grants of money, an cs-
tate, and various high Offices were
presented to him, while the allied
forces gave him medals, decorations
and orders.
Wellington's Political Life.
In 1927 Wellington's political life
in England began, and early in the
following year George ". called on
him to form a ministry Though a
member of the Tory party, it was to
Wellington's credit that he was the
first English premier to yield any.
thing to the Liberal side. The test
and corporation acts, which bore
hardly against members of the
Established Church, were repealed
and the removal of Catholic disabili-
ties, another outrageous measure,
was suggested. Wellington, for all
