end should not be large enough to be
fiat. 1t should be well filled out with
kernels both at base and point of cob,
see Figs. A and B. The grains should
be long and thick, spreading out we'll
at the outer end, so that there will
not be deep assures between the rows
A thick grain contains more nutri-
ment in proportion to the hull than a
thin, flat grain does.
Corn, as every feeder knows. has a
very wide nutritive ratio. This may
be narrowed considerably by select
ing grains with large germs, Fig. Fl
and l. The protein lies in the germ.
By germ l mean the part mouse
gnaws out of the grain. The endo-
sperm, Fig. c, is principally starch.
Corn for seed should always be Sc
lected from the most fertile portions
of the field, for there the plant has
formed the habit of appropriating
more plant food than has that grown
on thin land. This may be demon
strated by planting seed from a rich
river bottom by the side of the same
kind of seed grown for few years
on a thin clay farm-F. C. Murphey,

RAISE GOOD TURKEYS.
Quality Controls the Market to q
Greater Extent Than Most Poul-
trymen Suppose.

But few have any conception of
the number of fowls consumed in
large city during Thanksgiving and
Christmas weeks. For Thanksgiy-
ing week there were sold in New
York city over $4,000 turkeys. In
former years there has been sold
a fourth more than this, and as
many as $4,000 have been sold in
one week, according to the New
York Herald. This season turkeys
have been scarce, not we'll finished
and high in price. This is the ex-
PLANTATION for the falling off in sales.
Last year turkeys sold at from four
to five cents per pound lower in
price than this year. The same is
true of chickens, ducks and geese,
and even guinea fowls sell higher
than ever before. All this should
prove of advantage to the grower.
The day has about gone by for low
prices for poultry and eggs. All thas
is needed now is for us to have
good quality in our poultry and eggs
for market, and they will sell we'll
Now is the time to begin to plan
for living better than ever before.
Pull away from old-time methods or
poor quality market poultry and
work to have the very best. For
example, turkeys sold in the New
York market all the way from is
cents per pound to % and 30 cents
per pound. Now, it did not cost one
more cent per pound to grow the
higher priced ones than the cheaper
ones. 1t is simply question of care
and feeding. Those who feed prop
erly and well have the finer quality
and the greater size or weight. while
those who do not feed properly ana
we'll have the lesser weight and the
lower price. Quality controls the
market to greater extent than is
generally supposed.
1t is all very we'll to allow the
growing turkeys to hunt for bugs
and grasshoppers so long as they are
plentiful, but SO soon as this kind of
food dwindles we must supply its
place with other food as good. for
two reasons-to give them full
food supply and to prevent them
from walking the flesh from their
bodies going about in an aimless
way in search of food they will not
find. Just as soon as the cool or
cold nights begin to lessen the sup
ply of wild food of all kinds then
we must feed the stronger. Always
see to it that they have all the good,
wholesome food they will eat at ala
times. That is the way to grow
turkeys. If there are not plenty OF
bugs, worms, grasshoppers, berries
and nuts for them, give them all the
corn they will eat every night and
also a good, strong feed of it in tho
morning.

Chicks Killed by Heat,

A great many chicks die from be-
ing kept too warm during the night
in breeders. They get so warm they
fairly steam, and when let out in the
morning they ge: chilled, and this
brings on bowel troubles. We are
certain this is true from several ex-
periences of our own and this agrees
with what others say. On the other
hand, brooder can be kept too COOL
We believe very few take into ac-
count the temperature of chicks
blood. A bunch of chicks can keep
comfortable where man would feel
cold. When the chicks spread out ON
the floor OF the brooier to sleep they
are in astemperature that is just suit
ed to them. If too cold they bunch
up. and if too marm they are restless.

chiefly by death-and yet the former
president is still an active factor in
politics.
Chief Justice Fuller was appointed
in the last year of Cleyeland's first
term, and he is now eligible to retire
ment under the provision which en-
ables Il justice to retire on full pay
after reaching the age of 70.
There has been some talk about the
chief Justices retiring, but it is hard
ly likely that he will do so.
In all the years that justices have
had this privilege very few have taken
advantage of it. They cling 10 the
dignity and honor until death claims
them. In Chief Justice Fuller's case
there is no more reason now for his
retirement than at any time since he
was first appointed. He is TO all APP
pearances as young in mind and body
as when he took the oath of office. His
delicately cut face, his flowing white
hair and his striking white mus
tache, are the same as fifteen
years ago. He is easily the most
picturesque figure on the BENCH
and so he is likely to remain for some
time. He was appointed as democrat
and when he was appointed there was
only one other democrat on the bench

ginning to fail. Now there are two 9th
ers, White and Peckllam, both APP
poiatcd by Cleveland in his second
term. LOUIS A. COOLIDGE.

ways delicately attuned to the topic OF
the time. 1t was a pretty sight to watch
him as he came slowly into the chamber
guided by page and as he strolled
about the chamber during the session
still leaning on the shoulder of the. boy,
stopping as occasion offered to speak,
pleasant word to this senator or that.
1t was DR.. Milburn's boast that he
had met personally every man of great
prominence during the last half cen
tury-he was four score when he died
and it is certain that he had some ac-
quaintance with every man of conse-
quence who has held office in Washing
ton during that period. His recollec-
tons went back to the days of Web
ster, Clay, and Calhoun, and he delight
ed to relate his "reminiscences of those
times. Webster was his particular adj
miration. He resented the stories
which have almost come to be accepted
as historical truth in regard to Web
ster's personal habits. He declared
emphatically that Webster never in
dulged to excess in alcoholic liquors
He had known more senators and
representatives in he last half century
than any other man. He used to say
that the house of Representatives had
improved in recent years. He would
not say as much for the senate.

Beware the Heating Egg.

A new method of testing eggs for
their freshness has been communicat
ed to the Agricultural society of Sax
ony. An egg plunged in water tends
to rise with more buoyancy, accortiI 9
to its age, owing to the enlargement of
the empty space at the thick end by
evaporation of water from the white.
Hence the egg takes a different posi-
ton in the water. Fresh eggs remain
horizontal, an egg three to five DAYS
old makes an angle of 20 degrees with
the horizon, one eight days gives an
angle over As degrees, and at the end
of IA days the angle is 60 degrees. An
egg three weeks old lies at 70 degrees.
One three months remains vertical, and
when it 10 older still it floats.

cation of oaths tend rather to dimin-
ish than to enforce the sense of OBJ
legation assumed. In such swearing
familiarity unquestionably does help
to breed contempt. The lawyer
who would make an affidavit to a
statement of fact, but would not bet
on its accuracy, is the traditional ex-
ample of the working of this we'll
known rule. 1t is hardly practicable
to go to the extreme simplicity of
the Society of Friends and refrain
from all swearing, but the nearer
we can come to it the less we shall
incur the risk of encouraging per-
jury.

Subordinates who had been in office
for years had built up machine that
enabled them to control the depart
