SELECTING SEED CORN.
The Much-MOoted Question of Saving
the Entire Ear Again a Subject
of Discussion,

I would like to say few words in
regard to selecting seed corn of which
much has been written of late. In
watching the articles of the different
contributors, 1 find that they are
about equally divided in opinion as
regards nubbing or not nubhing the
ear of seed corn. To those who advo-
cate nubbing, claiming that it has no
disadvantages, I will say you are bad
ly mistaken and to the no-nubbing
advocates there is this disadvantage.
the small grains on the tip and the
large ones on the butt end of the ear
mixed with the smaller grains causes
the planter to drop Irregular. But this
can be overcome in year if picking
the seed has been rightly done. 1
practiced nubbing my seed corn for
some time and it never filed out on
either end. Some four years ago I
abandoned this practice, and in the
spring when selecting for seed picked
out the ears that were nearest filled
out on both ends and with an average
grain all over the ear. The following
fall picked our seed corn while husk-
ing and in this way had the pick of
the whole crop and secured the ears
that were completely filled out at
both ends. This year on examining
the ears we find nearly half the ears
filed out over both ends. I think the
foregoing enough to convince all that
nubbing seed corn is injurious to the
seed, and to the farmers who are in
the habit of ndbbing their corn let
me advise them to at once stop the
practice, and enjoin upon them undue
carefulness in selecting their seed,
especially their seed corn.-Prairie

A GOOD INVESTMENT.
Gain in Actual Cash Values of Farms
by Good Roads Is Large and
Positive.

The cause of road improvement will
undoubtedly receive a great impetus
by the recent meeting of the National
where object lessons were given on
the exposition grounds of the latest
and best methods of making high
ways. What the average American
farmer needs to be thoroughly con-
WINGED of is, that good roads, in the
long rus, are much cheaper than bad
roads, even though the first cost of
construction may add somewhat to his
taxes.
1t has been the prospect of increased
taxes that has caused the rural dis
tricts of New York state, for example,
to solidly oppose all plans for road
improvement in the past, involving in
creased appropriations Of public
funds. They have preferred to stand
by the old, wretched and inadequate
"working-out" system because it
seemed to be the cheapest and easiest.
Considering how proftless the farm
ing business has been in many parts
of the country for years, it is not
strange that the farmers should wish
to avoid any added drains upon their
resources, but when it is clearly DEM
onstrated, as it can be, that new and
improved systems of road-making
actually add to the value of farms and
the profits of agriculture, the case will
be different.
Figures bearing on these very points
have been published repeatedly, show
ing that the increase of carrying ca
pacity made possible by good roads.
and the decrease in the wear and tear
of horses and vehicles, far more than
offset the enlarged expenditure called
for by the Improvements. The gain
in actual cash values is large, positive,
and beyond all question. And beyond
all are the added pleasure and salts
faction of riding and driving over
smooth, well-kept roads-a gain which
money cannot measure or express

Horse Meat in Vienna

The price of horse meat ranges, per
pound of fore quarter, from 5 to 8
cents; hind quarter, 6 to 0 cents;
choice cuts for steak and roast, from
5 to II cents; the same cuts in beef
averaging from 20 to "a cents a
pound. The horse meat is also worked
up into sausages, and as such sells at
correspondingly low prices. The
horse-meat butcher shops, of which
there are now no less than 1876 in this
city, present clean and attractive ap-
pearance, and are In no way distin-
guisha Bile from the shops where the
usual kinds of meat are sold, save by
the sign announcing their speciality.
Restaurant keepers who serve horse
meat must designate this fact in spe.
cial column on the bill of fare offered
to patrons.-Vienna Letter.

FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT.

James Strader is Cuaght in the Gear
ing of Threshing Engine.
James Strader who was anoaged
IN farming in the vicinity of Warren
about ten or Fifteen years ago, and
who lived also for a while in the town
OF New Solum, died at his home in
Crookston last Thursday evening, as
the result of a terrible accident, the
particulars of which, according to
the Crookston Journal are as follo ows:
"Mr. Strader during the fall had been
engaged in running a threshing
engine for N. B. Soper, and has oper-
ated in the town OF Andover and
Hammond. Yesterday while NOV
ing the machine from one OF Mr.. J.
E. O'Brien's farms to another, six
miles south of the city, he met with
the casutlty that cost him his life.
Mr.. Strader had been managing
the steering gear, and called Neil Nc
Dougan to relieve him, his object
being to to ascertain the mount of
water in the emergency tank, that is
placed in the forward part of the en-
gine.
McDougall took the wheel and
+Strader climbed up onto the machine
for the purpose of proceeding to the
forward end. It was somewhat risky
but the man had no thought ofthe.
possibility OF slippiag, and the ma
chine was not stopped .......--
AS Strader was passing the driving
gear he made misstpp. or his foot
slipped, and struck squarely among
the cog wheels. In all instant his en-
tire leg had been drawn into the ma
chinery, and as the large thigh bone
was being ground to pieces it furnish
ed sufficient resistance to stop the
machine.
McDougall was horror stricken at
what had happened, but the progress
OF events had been so rapid that he
could not have stopped the machine
earlier nor done anything to prevent
the accident.
Strtder was perhaps the first per-.
son about the machine to speak.

the engine and get me- out of this
This was Immediately done, and he
was at once placed in a buggy and
driven to the city. by son Alex, who
was member of the crew at work
with the machine.

member OF the State Board of
Equalization and several times an
ASSESSOR OF this city. On matters OF

Wherever placed he has discharged
his public duties with ability and
efficiency and great credit to himself.
He is public spirited and enterpris-

man is a loss to any community.
Mrs. Glavin also has always taken
an active part in social matters and
will be greatly missed by large cir
