A WORD POLITICAL.

The Daily Bulletin sounded the proper
KEYNOTE. last evening. when it related
how the real political influence Of Aber-
deen-the greatest city IN Chehalls
1ounty-is nullifed by the wrangles OF a
few piebiters. Tie present outlook is
that the nominees Of the republican
county convention. if at ali reasonable,
may be elected. and this possibility has
attracted the piebiters like flies around
IN open molasses barrel.
Ii is of more Importance to Aberdeen
that we have member Of the board OF
county commissioners than TO name the
next United States senator. We are
more interested in a proper assessment
Of values than we are in matters oil inter-
national policy, and, while the admoni-
ton Of the HERALD may not obtain
serious consideration in republican cir
cles, we will venture the assertion that
If our republican friends Of Aberdeen
permit the aspiring gentry who are try
ing TO run that party TO commit political
suicide at Elma on the 10Th, the demo-
cratic party will hold coroner's inquest
on the remains, and the jury will he the
people in November.

Effects of Freezing Seeds.


Prof. a. ID. Selby of the Ohio station
has tested the effects Of extreme cold
upon certain seeds. including corn.
wheat, rye, flax. sunilower, castor
bean, cucumber, mimosa, yellow lupine,
sain foln and pine. they were taken
right from the temperature of the room
and immersed in liquid air. for six,
twelve, twenty-four and forty-eight
hours for each lot The liquid air rep
rcscnts q temperature equal to 80 de-
grees below zero, certainly an extreme
test, for 1t is not often that the cold
est portion of the United States reaches
much more than 80 degrees below zero.
The seeds were terminated by the side
of lots not subjected to treatment, and
there was no essential difference In the
proportion that terminated. The corn
was not of high grade, and the starchy
portion cracked badly. but the germ
did not seem to be affected. The ex-
treme cold seemed to be favorable rath-
err than otherwise TO the flax and rye.
Of course the seeds were properly
dried. that is air dry, before being sub
jected to the test. but with this precau-
ton the farmer need not fear injury
70 seeds from freezing weather, If the
castor bean. native of tropical eli
mate, could endure such cold. our gar
den beans and peas should do SO, and
we see no good reason why squash.
pumpkin and melon seed should not en-
dure cold as well as cucumbers. or
clover, cabbage. turnip and others of
the same size as well as lupine and

friends deny that he is committed to the
scheme.
1t appears now that Senator Mason of
Illinois favors such a project and will
stand sponsor for a BILL BY virtue Of
the rank which he holds in the Senate as
chairman Of the committee on postotiiees
and post roads, Mr.. Mason commands at
tention by the announcement that he

says the question of the purchase of the

Senator Mason is not meeting with any
very enthusiastic support from Republi-

Use of Personalities.

The committee Of the British Local
Government Board has been for two
years investigating the subject of pre-
servatives and coloring matter in
foods, and their report does not indi-
cate the danger from their use that
had been feared by the alarmists. They
name as these preseryatives four
classes. borax or bOric acid and its
compounds. sulphurous acid and sui
phites. salicylic acid or it's soda salt.
which is more soluble and formaline
or formaldehyde (made from wood al
cohol. OF these the last Is the only
one in which they could find any proof
of injury caused by their use. Yet as
milk that is clean and properly cared
for needs no personalities, they would
run no risks in an article of food so
largely consumed by young children
and recommend that the addition of
preservatives or coloring matter to
milk offered for sale in the United
Kingdom sl@ll be an offense under the
sale of food and drugs" act. They
would have the use of formaldehyde
and its preparations absolutely prohib-
tied, and that saiicylic acid should not
be used to over the amount of one
grain in pint or pound of food. There
is no evidence that it is hurtful in
this small quantity. For butter,
cream and margarine only boric acid
or borate of soda should he allowed
to be used. and that only to amount of
one-fourth of one per cent in cream
and one-half of one per cent in butter.

Growing Corn.

Secretary Wilson said, after return
ing from his inspection of the corn
crop last fall, that there were many
fields injured by the heat whitening
the tassels so that they failed fertilize
the silk; but this was much less no
ticeable where there was an abundance
of organic or vegetable matter from
plowed under grass roots. Shallow cul
tivatlng frequently. so as to maintain a
dust mulch of two or three inches on
the surface, also seemed a benefit
where it was practiced, as it prevent
ed evaporation of moisture below, as
also the organic matter helped to re-
taip moisture in the soil. Much of
the bottom land is too wet in the
spring, causing the corn roots to spread
out too near the surface. and also to
dry up when the drought came. Such
land should be underdrained, that this
surplus moisture may be carried away,
the ground be ready to work earlier,
and the roots to strike down deeper.
