There are survivals of old-world
superstitions still existing in this coun-
try which, though perhaps harmless,
bring curious sense of wonder to a
rejecting mind. A Pennsylvania
German" whose wife had recently de-
serted him, ascribed her disappearance
solely to witchcraft. The customary
method of procedure among his people
In such cases is to immerse pair of
the delinquents stockings in pot of
water, place the pot upon a hot fire and
keep 1t boiling for twenty-four hours.
This is supposed to be infallible. The
belief is that it will break the spell
under which the woman is laboring
and will cause her such uneasiness that
she will gladly return home. but will
also inflict dreadful pains upon the
person who had bawitched her. The
husband followed the formula, but the
yesult is not stated.

Secretary Wilson of the agricultural

that you keep too many dogs and too

The Department of Agriculture is do
Ing all 1t can to make the best of bad
matter-the free seed distribution. In
his annual report the secretary states
that the division of botany has been in
trusted the task of testing all the seeds
sent out by the department, not only
those of the regular departmental dis
tribution, but those imported through
the recently established section of seed
and plant Introduction and those pro-
cured in other ways for the expert
mental work of the various divisions.
Never before has the department dis
tributed seeds of higher purity and
germinative capacity than during the
past year Furthermore, an elaborate
series of field tests was made to ascer-
tain whether the seeds were really of
the varieties stipulated in the contract.
1t was found that in several cases the
varieties were wholly at variance with
the contract, seeds of cheaper varieties
having been substituted, presumably
by the subcontractors. The fact that
these varieties were not true to name
could not. of course, be ascertained for
several months after the seeds were
distributed, but portion of the pur-
chase money was withheld. pending the
result of the field tests, and a commen-
surate reduction was made in the price
paid for the seed. The principal bene-
fetal result of this action is expected
to lie in its warning to future con-
tractors that they will be paid for no
inferior seed. whether this inferiority
is due to themselves or to their sub
contractors.
