lothing which indicates danger Of an

there being no armament at the Lega-
ton, aside from the small arms of the
Guard. but two antiquated guns valu-

American military officers say that
Germany and other countries have not
only inclosed their legations with stout
steel fences capable of keeping at bay
a mob armed with the usual weapons
but they have erected on the wall o

pounds abut, block houses from which
a long and effective defense can be
maintained. AS there are many men.
women and children who would be OBJ

authorities urge the ACCESSIBILITY Of
Americans being authorized to take
similar precautions.

Guaranteed Eggs.

A novel method for insuring the
freshness OF eggs has been adopted by
a dairymen's association in the vicinity
OF the city Of IIehi. Germany Tie
agents OF this association so among the
farmers each day and purchase eggs,
the farmer guaranteeing that these
have been laid within the previous
twenty-four hours In consequence OF
this guarantee the association pays the
farmer pfennigs, or about half cent,
above the regular market price for
ench egg. The association then makes
n record OF each purchase by giving
the farmer registered number and
numbering each egg in corresponding
manner. When consumer chances TO
find a stale egg he returns it to the
dealer, who in turn charges it TO the
association. which reports the matter to
the farmer The method Is protection
to all parties concerned and is said to
meet with much success. The eggs are
delivered TO the dealer in cases con.
tanning five dozen each This unique
methoG will doubtless interest many OF
our readers. although we doubt II any
association would adopt the method IN
this country ry.-Connecticut Farmer

HINTS FOR FARMERS

The amount OF wen cured Nebraska
seed corn viii be small on account OF
the lateness OF the season.
The drying season will be short n
not also moist. making the curing cf
seed corn difficult matter. Frosts
have killed a great deal OF corn this
fall before ripe enough for seed. This
makes the chances In favor of very
limited supply OF seed corn for next
years planting. and high prices will
probably prevail The superiority OF
home grown varieties over those
brought ia from farther south can
hardly be Overestimatcd. The past sea
son has demonstrated this so thorough
~ that IN years to come home grown
seed corn will be at premium.
Farmers who have we'll patared
fields OF sweet corn should save 1t for
seed. II will find good market IL not

The selection Of ears is a very sim
pie matter. yet It is very important in
saving seed corn.

ears. These can be carried to the edge
OF the field and drawn to the barns
The ears should not lie in pIleg. 70
they soon become heated. and the

They may be busked so as TO leave
several husks on the shank OF the ear.
Such ears may be tied or braided to-
