COMMUNICATED.
Editor of the Coua1xa-DEMocRAr:


notice a communication in your last
issue from Mr.. John Mahon, with regard
to seed wheat. Ihave done a good deal
OF ssed wheat testingfor farmers over the
state that has been very satisfactory.
II the farmers of Cavalier county are in
doubt with regard to the terminating
and productive quality Of their seed 1
will test same free oi charge il sent me
before March Lat. Ny plan is to take a
handful OF seed from the bin and spread
same on piece OF paper then take a
knife and separate about $50 seeds from
the pile aud mail same to the Larimore
Greenhouse. giving post oftire address
and name of sender. Parties sending
seed for testing should be particular and
not select the best or the poorest seed,
but take it as it comes. Ny method of
testing is under a low temperature, in
common prairie soil and without fer
tilizrr. One hundred seeds are planted in
a Cigar box, firmly pressed down and
and then sparingly watered. The prin-
clpal thing i'll testing is to approximate
as nearly as possible the natural condi
tions OF soil and climate in this particular
part OF the state. A very poor seed can
be germinated under favorable condi-
tions, where under adverse secircunstances
it would lay in the ground and rot. To
test the terminating qualities OF seed
is a very important matter, but relative
productiveness is another. Two stalks
OF wheat in field an inch apart may
show fifty or one hundred per cent differ
ence in yield. 1t is self evident, that soil
and climate had nothing to do with the
difference; the difference was in the seed.
frosted, or damp wheat should certainly
be tested before being used for seed as it
is impossible to tell the quality of the
seed without. The injury to seed by
frost or dampness. depends on the per-
centage of healthy ulbumen still retained
i'll the seed.i There must be enough to
feed the infant plant until lno.her earth
comes to it's assistance. The above
hints may be useful to farmers who test
their own seed. should be glad to test
all samples sent and report in time.

PORCH PARTIES IN ORDER.
With u Little Ingenuity Clever Enter
tainment N7ay BE Arranged.


tainment May BE Arranged.
If you have, veranda, quarter
acre OF lawn, and social debt, these
hot days give porch party. 1t is de-
lightfIily entertaining and distinctly
new, says the Philadelphia Press. Make
it musical evening, and invite a cou-
pie of friends who can play bit on
the banjo or mandolin and sing. Cards
and progressive conversations are 9TH
er clever ideas. On a table in one
corner of the porch have generous
pitchers of iced drinks-lemonade, ,rasp-
berry vinegar, etc.-and keep them
we'll filled throughout the evening.
With the beverages offer thin sand
wiches of graham bread, with cheese,
chopped nuts, olives, or a mayonnaised
lettuce leaf. Little home made sponge
cakes are nice by way of an additional
dainty, or the menu may consist OF gin
ger ale, crackers, cheese and salted
almonds. The bonbon dish never goes
wrong at a porch party. Dates, stuffed
with marshmallows, are new sugges-
tions for filling it. These dainties are
easily done at home. The stone Of the
fruit is dug out with a knife point,
and just enough of the marshmallow
put in to take its place. a porch par
ty for a dozen friends need not cost
more than a couple CT duliars-S3 at
most. 1t is an economical as we'll as
a delightful way of bringing ones
friends together

POLITICS WORSE THAN WAR.
Why an Old Woman Worried About
One of tho Soldiers.

One of tho Soldiers.
From the Washington Star: "a
month or so ago." remarked the drum
mer who sells saddlery and harness
goods, II was out in that part of West
Virginia where Grover Cleveland and
Joe Miller used to go fishing, and in
the course of a side trip I was maxi,
ing in a blackboard, in order to take
in some Of my customers along the
edge of civilization, stopped one day
at hillside tavern presided over by
Aunt Susan Mullins, who is as wise
philosopher as she is superior in the
art OF preparing a fine mountain din
ner. l was resting after feed in the
shade, smoking stogie and talking to
Aunt Susan, on the one subject now
OF interest, to-wit, the war. ANY of
your folks at the front, Aunt Susan?'
l inquired. None NV my own kinfolks
is, but Sarey Jockson's boy is, and
Sarey is most a sister to me- 4
suppose you were worried a good deal
about him during the fighting before
Santiago, weren't you? l know how I
felt about a brother I had with the
rough riders. 1t is terrible strain
on people at home to have to sit still
and wait, every Minute expecting to
hear that they are killed or badly
hurt Yes she replied, rather hes
itatingly, that's mighty bad and un-
comfortable, but 'twan't that what
worries me so much about Sarey's boy
as his comm home after the wars
over How do you mean?' I asked,
puzzled past understanding, for the
ome-coming seemed to be the most
joyous part of it. We'll, you see,
Jeems is fer all the world like his
pappy was-one NV these here good
natered men that everybody likes and
is so all-fired popular that they amt
got no time to tend to their own busi-
ness. Jeemes pappy went into the
last war and fit like wild cat. and
when he come home the people run
him fer the legislator and elected him,
and he never wuz wuth shucks frum
that day till they buried him. Jeemes
has fit just like his pappy done, and a
constable told me t'other Gay that they
wuz goin' to run Jimmy fer the leg
islater shore eZ shootin and he'd
sweep the county like a whirlwind,
and that's what skeers me fer Jeemes.
Politics is heap sight wuss on man

TIERNEYS FREE CLUB
Officer Uses His Billy
Without Knowing the
Reason.

Frank j. O'Leary, assistant financial
secretary of the Wachusett Boat club
had his head split open by Officer Jas.
J. Tierney at Washington square, last
night. shortly before midnight.
O'Learys head was in bad shape af-
ter the officers club got in it's work,
and he bled profusely from the wound.
He refused to be taken to the city hos
pital, however, and shortly afterwards
was taken to DR.. William c. Fogarty's
office, where the wound was dressed
and O'Leary went to his home.
According to the story told of the af-
fair, O'Leary and man named Alfred
Sharon were eating in Glover's res
taurant, on Washington square, after
II O'Clock, and Sharon, being in a
frame Of mind for an argument, got
in to one with 'Leary.
Sharon did most of the talking and
finally became so obstreperous that
O'Leary left the place. Sharon went
outside also and the argument con-
tinued on the sidewalk. Sharon made
pass at O'Leary's head and missed,
and O'Leary, to protect himself, struck
at Sharon and Knocked him to the
ground, At this point Officer Tierney
arrived on the scene and, raising his
club, struck O'Leary over the head.
He supposed at the time, owing to the
position of the men, that O'Leary was
the aggressor, and later, when he
learned his mistake, was sorry that it
happened Sharon, who had Been
drinking, was taken to the signal box
on the square and the police wagon
was called. He was booked at station
for drunkenness.

AFTERNoON SESSION.

The first part of the afternoon ses-
sion of the Baptist ministers meeting
was taken up with the discussion of
Dr. GreuPs essay. Among the speak
ers were DR.. Abijah Hall, DR.. Charles
I, Morgan, Rev T. r. Peede.
DR.. Greul made few remarks in de-
Tense Of the essay at the close. and
after the singing of a hymn, Rev. e.
+. Fuller was introduced, who preached
the annual sermon, taking his text
from II Corinthians, iii:6.
He said in part: Paul seems to have
had particular reference to the old COW
enant and to the new. They who had
paid attention to the law and the letter
had come to death, but Christ had come
to give life. In all cases the letter
kills. the spirit gives life. NV sub
ject is the duty of the conservative at
this time, in view of the text We are
all conservative, might say, and then
we might classify all people in regard
to their opinions We might divide
all people into five classes, beginning
at ultra conservatives and ending with
the ultra-liberals. We have very few
Of either the first or last classes, and
from some point of view, we all have
a conservative streak in our nature.
Let us serve in the newness of The
spirit and not in the oldness of the
letter. The greatest difficulty in the
world now is the tendency toward crys-
talization. 1t is true of business life
and the government life, and even more
true in religion. Israel had a law. in
which was a kernel of truth, but Israel
ism tended to take the sternest reali-
ties. The same is true of ethics, of
social conditions. So the orthodox man
has tendency to liberalism. Ortho-
doxy may be analysed men have ten
dency to get the formula, but lose the
power of it. The conservative man in
the pulpit has been the great danger

BASKET BALL LEAGUE.
One May Be Formed TAX
ing in County
Towns.

Spencer, Oct. 24.-Negotiations are I'M
der way preparatory to forming basket
ball league of the leading towns of Wor-
cester county for the winter months.
Manager F. M. Hill of the Spencer bas-
ket ball team has been approached by
managers of the Ware, Warren, Brook
field and Thorndil1e teams, and prospects
are bright for the formation of a league
comprising those towns as nucleus,
with the certainty of taking in the other
leading towns later. Manager Hill will
shortly hold conference with the man
ager of the Thorndike team to talk over
the proposed league.
Challenges are coming in to the Spencer
team daily, and many good games will be
scheduled shortly. The latest challenge
is from the Dartmouth College basket ball
team, who will before long make a tour Of
this region. A game with the collegians
is a certainty.
At present all interest centres in the
contest with Webster booked for tomor-
row night. That the game will be fiercely
fought is admitted, but the local team is
favorite with the bettters. The lineup
will be as follows:
