Gala company No of the Uniform
Rank, Knights of Pythias, has received
applications of two men for member
ship, and that of one for, honorable dis
charge. An effort is being made to build
up this company to one of the finest in
1.-THE state. The membership is now SO,
but it is calculated before long to raise
that fi~ure to 30. Next May the grand
lodge of the knights of Pythias meets in
Topeka, and at that time the Gala com
pany has promised to have itself in con-
ditiOn for an exhibition drill At its last
meeting the grand lodge set aside $500
to ne used in prizes for the best drilled
uniform rank companies of the state.
The Topeka company was excepted
from this, however. and will not enter
the competition. 1t is interesting to
know that a few years ago the Girard
team of the uniform rank received tne
worlds prize for its drill work. 1t is
expected to appear at the next grand
lodge meeting in Topeka, and no doubt
will make a fine showing.

SEED CORN ESSENTIALS.
The Years Success Depends ou Hay-
ing Good Seed on Hand AT
Planting Time.

There are many essential points to b,
vigorously observed in either selecting
or buying seed corn In selecting from
ones own fields the earliest maturing
and most perfect ears only should be
saved, and when variety commences
to lose its dominant characteristics il
is time to get fresh seed In sending
away for seed, buy that grown in near
y the same latitude as your own, or if
any change is made go little north in
preference to.sourh. Understand your
fields. Don't plant large cared white
sorts in fields better adapted to medi-
um size yellow sorts. The first move
ment toward making a corn cropis this
matter of correct selection of seed.
The quality OF the seed is the next i'm
portant thing. Do not be satisfied with

You know what to expect Prof ShamelI
says on this questions; "By highly-bred
seed is meant seed that is the very
highest representative of the inn

which as nearly as possible represent
the ideal ear. As every ear is different
from every other ear, there can never
be a large number of such ears. How.
ever, this very fact Of wide variation
makes the improvement ofyaritics pos
sible. If there was no variation from
which selection could be made there
could be no Improvement. 1t is by Sc.
lecting those ears which vary in the
direction desired and discarding the
poor ears that a general advance can be
made" Having made wise selection

Lieut.. John Stephen Sewell, of the
United States engineer corps, who has
charge of the construction of the new
printing office, reports that it will be
finished during the present year, and
within the authorized limit cost The
last sentence is powerful argument
for those who advocate the erection
of all public buildings under the SUI
peryisioR of army engineers and de-
nounce the employment of profess
sional contractors.
Several years ago an agitation was
started to do away with the govern
mcnt printing office. There is no
doubt that lots of the stun printed at
public expense is not worth the paper
wasted upon it; but the critics fail to
take cognizance of the fact that if the
same stuff were given out TO outside
printers, under a government con
tract, il would cost fully 25 per cent
more. As long as congressman will |
talk, they will insist upon seeing their
names in print, and government Sci
enlist and eXperimenters consider
themselves entitled to a general circu-
lation of their bulletins. A great
country like ours cannot afford to be
,tingy in the printing bill, nor can the
government give too wide publicity to
he utterances of its statesmen and
he essays of its men of science.
