Enthusiastically Greeted at the Depot
by Recommendations. Robert IL.
Anderson of the Ninth. Native of
savannah, Given an Ovation-The
Crowds Cheered for Dixie and
Yankee Doodle.
Amid flags, flowers and the greatest en-
thusiasm, two regiments Of United States
infantry passed through Savannah yester-
day en- route to Tampa.
The first was the Ninth Regiment In
fantry, from Madison barracks, Sacket's
Harbor, y. Y, while the second was the
Twenty-first Regiment Infantry, stationed
at Plattsburg barracks.
Six trains were required to transport the
troops and their equipment. Long before
the first train arrived at 4:20 o'clock. the
Plant system station and East Broad
street for some distance from either end
of the depot, was thronged with PEOPLE
eager to get a glimpse of the soldiers
There was a dense crowd inside the depot,
and, because of the possible danger from
moving trains, it was decided by the rail-
road authorities to clear the crowd. The
police, under the direction of Lieut.. Reilly,
rendered valuable service by clearing the
depot, and later keeping people off the
tracks. So anxious were those who rad
been deposed to see the troops that they
managed to again gain entrance, and by
the time the first train pulled in the place
was about as damned as before the at
tempt was made to disappoint them. The
great number of ladies present was com
mented upon, and before the brave-h hearted
soldiers all passed through, many of them
had received cheering words and cordial
hand-shakes from gentle hands.
Bearing an import of what the future
might bring the first train curiously
enough bore q lot of time-worn looking
hospital ambulances, on all of which ap-
peared the emblematc red cross. This
train consisted Of coach, three cars for
the ambulances, four cars containing the
ambulance horses and four baggage-cars
containing tents. Only few men accom-

The committee approved the recommen-

series of resolutions carrying out the pol

Among the resolutions was one setting

Luck.
There is a crowd of mourners in every
city who are constantly bewailing their
bad luck" They tell of the chances they
had to make fortunes, but they didn't
make them. They point out tracts of land
or city lots which they once had the op-
portunity of buying, but did not buy. and
tell how much the property is now worth.
To hear them talk one would think that
they had been robbed or cheated out OF
their own by the parties who now own the,
property. Now, the truth is, those growl-
ers never had a chance to make money
out of such an investment for the reason
that they had not the nerve to take the
risk
There are just as good openings for prof
liable investments to-day as existed in
years gone by, but people who complain of
their bad luck will miss them now Just
as heretofore.

There IS no law, rule or regulation OF
the Royal Arcanum forbidding a member
from entering the military service in de
tense Of foreign foe and no provision for
forfeiture of benefits, under such circum-
stances do not see how any American
society could make such a provision and

the chances and the members will have to
bear the extra burdens that other people

FIG 1-SEED PAN.

bottom of which are placed the seeds, Is
midway the depth Of the pan. Water
should be placed in the pan, but not
enough to reach the seeds; they will be
Inoistened by water drawn up by the
lower strip or wick. See Figs. 1 and 2.
The pan should be kept in tempera-
ture as even as possible, ranging from
65 to IS degrees. Only one kind of seed
should be placed in each bag, and cer-
tain number of these seeds should be
counted out when so placed and rec
ord kept on an accompanying slip.
After the seeds have been given sufi.
cient time to sprout, they should be
counted a&l the percentage of the
good seed reckoned. The work takes
comparatively little time, and will be
found very interesting. For instance,
take a test of clover seed; in
extracting a sample, the seed should be
thoroughly mixed and stirred and then
a pinch taken at random and, say, so or
100 seeds counted out and placed in the
bag, where they may remain for ten
days. Many of them, however, will
sprout before the expiration of that
period and these should be removed and
a record kept of them. Some seeds of
course start more easily than other
kinds. The following periods may be
stated as the limits required for the
termination of good seed of the kinds
named: For cereals, peas, beans,
vetches, sunflower. buckwheat, clover

PRACTICAL SEED TEST.
A Very Simple Operation which Re-
quiFcs Absolutely NO E1pendi-
ture of Money.

Testing seeds on the farm IS such a
highly satisfactory practice that, hav-
ing tried it once by good method, it is
likely to become an established feature.
Nothing can be more veXatious than TO
carefully manure and prepare piece OF
ground for some particular crop, plant
the seed just at the right time and in
the right manner, and then, after wait
ing a reasonable time finally discover
that poor seed has been procured in the
beginning and that only a part of it has
come up. Experience like this can be
avoided by seed testing, which is in re-
ality a very simple thing, and requires
absolutely no outlay of money.
In the first place, seed should be pro-
cured early in the season, to allow plen-
ty of time to return it and procure
other seed, in case it is found 10 be poor.
All the apparatus necessary fol ordina-
ry testing of the terminating powers OF
seeds is a tin pan, like a cake pan or
bread pan, little cotton cloth or sheet
ing and a dozen or so sticks, long
enough TO reach across the short way OF
the pan, as shown in the accompanying
cuts. A couple of little headiess brads
can be driven into each stick, which
latter should have square edges so as to
rest steadily on the pan, and on these
pins pieces of the cloth can be hooked
at the four corners. These cloths or
bags should have a strip sewed at the
bottom which will reach to ths. bottom
