Will the Future Housewife Turn Her
Kitchen Into Laboratory?
The mistress Of the home of 1925
will be chemist She will be a
trained scientist She will regard her
kitchen as a laboratory in which a
thousand wonderful experiments will
be tried. The idea that the kitchen is
place of irudgery, where only those
enter who are forced By circum-
stances, will have disappeared, and
there will remain only wonder that
any one could have ever been ignorant
of the marvellous processes of science
to have taken so little interest in the
subject.
The kitchen itself will disappear
from the basement and from the home
forever. In it's place, adjoining the
dining room. so that the transit from
the fire to the table may occupy but
seconds time, will be the House

the house and her daughters will find
no more interesting period of the day
than that which is spent in the well
lighted, well ventilated, clearly and
comfortably arranged room given up

ence offers to those who will study
with interest her wonders in the realm
of combinations OF food materials ard

Prof. L. R. Waldron has issued the
following bulletin on the subject OF
seed corn treatment, which is OF spe-
cial interest to this section:
With the great progress that has
been made in the treatment of seed
wheat and seed flax within the last
year,few years it is probable that some
of our more progressive farmers have
extended or thought of extending this
principle to seed corn. The expert
ments along this line at the expert
ment station have been somewhat
meager, but those that have been con-
Quoted seem to show conclusively that
such treatment is of positive value.
But the farmer asks, what good will
it do? Will it kill the smut? The
treatment will not kill the smut, but i;
will do good. If we take piece OF
bread and put it away in damp place
It will soon be covered with mold The
same thing happens to the kernel OF
corn when put in the damp ground.
The sprouting corn is covered with
the spores of mould which soon ger

growing grain. II the corn seeding is
vigorous. it may grow fast enough to
get away from the bad effects OF the
mould. But the seed corn this spring
is not strong. Very little of the corn

Tho Mosquito Did Not Need Full
Order That Night.
George Rutledge Gibson, the banker.
as the story goes at his country home
in Tuxedo Park, spent night a few
years ago at the Country club at West
chester with two members of the
stock exchange. They met at breakfast
in the morning and the conversation
naturally turned to mosquitoes, which
had been the principal circulating mo-
dium the night before. The large and
tall member of the exchange remarked
that they had not molested him, but
the little man protested that he had
been devoured by them, and he very
energetically questioned the judgment
of Long Island mosquitoes who would
thus attack a small man when large
one was under the same roof and he
demanded an explanation. This was
Mr.. Gibson's opportunity and he coony
and exasperatingly said:

TREATMENT FOR SEED CORN
An Interesting Bulletin Issued From the North Da
kota Agricultural College Regarding Seed
Corn Treatment

last year reached full maturity. Its
terminating power is weak. Much Of
it will not grow at all. If you have
corn that is viable enough to use tor
seed, treat it and increase the value
Of your crop 10 or more per cent.
Be careful of the kind of seed corn
you use. Don't take any Dealers word
as to it's growing qualities. Don't
plant any corn without knowing it's
terminating powers. Count out 100
kernels, put in pan OF moist earth
and keep in warm place. II IL per
cent or more of the kernels fail to
grow, or if many of them are weak,
buy some better seed. 1t is impossi-
BILE to grow good crop from poor
seed 1t is better to start with good
seed than to have to plant again after
loss of two weeks time. Seasons in
North Dakota are too short for any
experiment of this kind.
Treatment: When treating sect
corn mix one pound Of standard 40
PER cent fc,.-lc ldehyde with 40 or 45
gallons Of water and treat the seed in
the same manner as is recommended
for the treatment of wheat smut. The
formalin solution may be applied to
the seed by means of spray or
sprinkler and the corn should be
shoveled till all Of the seeds become
thoroughly moistcned. 1t is then ready
for planting.

crn Post, Will Take the Place
Of the Old Fort at Yates.
Gen. w. A. Robbie has sent COM
munication to the secretary of wal
recommending that Fort Yates, N. D I.
be abandoned.
This action was taken because OF
the unfavorable location of the post,
the expense Of maintaining it. the
dilapidated conditions of the buildings
and the fact that Fort lincoln, a new
post with excellent barrack facilities,
s not far away.
On account Of the remoteness Of the
post from railroad stations the cost OF
transporting the men is said to be
great. The post is twenty-five miles
east OF Pollock, S. D., on the Mime

STATES EDUCATIONAL EXHIBIT
Statement Issued From Educational Department
Regarding Work of Committee of the
Educational Association.

The committee appointed by the last
state educational association to take
charge of the educational exhibit at
the St. Louis exposition in 1904 has
had one meeting. While nothing def.
mite was planned, yet the various
phases of an educational exhibit were
discussed and it was agreed that any
exhibit which we might plan should
represent, so far as possible, the idea
OF unity in our educational system. It
would not be so much an exhibit III
which individual schools were repre-.
scented as an representation of the en-
tire school system of the state The
committee is going to ask for two
thousand square feet of surface, and
even that amount will be small to
make comprehensive exhibit Of the
entire state.
1t is planned that the exhibit shall
comprise charts Of statistics regarding
the various educational institutions,
the common and high schools, togeth-
er with the matter of endowment
funds-in fact, anything in the line of
statistics which will impress the read
er with the idea Of the progressive
spirit of our state in educational
matters. Then it will include exhibits
from the various colleges and the uni
versity, from the agricultural college,
including experimental station, from
the normal schools, manual training
school, school for the deaf and dumb,
all high schools and common schools,
both of our graded and rural systems.
The work in the common and high
schools will include an exhibit of al
forms of written class work, exhibit
of free-hand drawing, together with
any mechanical drawing which may be
carried on in the high schools.
The work of the normal schools
would, undoubtedly. include more par
ticularly written work, bearing upon
the preparation Of teachers-in fact,
anything that gives the idea of meth

The work of the manual training

cultural college would include work liz
wood and iron, together with mechan
ical drawings.
The other work of the university
would include such as would show the
work done in the various departments
language, literature and arts.
The other work OF the agricultural
college would represent the work done
in science, and in connection with the
various valuable experiments which
are carried on at the exper mental sta
ton.
The work in drawing must be

very good size.
The size and quality of paper foi
written work has not yet been deter
mined upon, as in all probability most
schools would prefer to have the writ
ten work represent work of as late .
date as possible, consequently the slze
and quality of this paper will be de-
termined upon later, and notice will
be given at the beginning of the nex'
school year.
AS to the other work indicated, IL
can be done this year, such as select
ing and preserving such work as would
be a good indication of the character
Of the work done along the lines OF
drawing, manual training, and work IL
wood and iron, etc.
1t is hoped that every county super
intendent, every principal and superln'
tendent and president to whom this
circular comes will feel deep inter
est in this work, and will make an ef'
fort to assist the committee in getting
up an exhibit which will be truly rep
resentative of the State of North Da'
