Kindness to the animal is more than
kindness; it is justice.
The man who beats n horse can be

The man who docs not beat his horse
and who forgets to water him for long

Think about these things. Remember
how it feels when your own throat is dry

your speech or your gait that you are in

he gravely shook his head.
The man he had haulted swayed little,
then suddenly Strengthened up and dis
crcetly hiccoughed behind his hand.
I'll have togive you the supreme test"

commiseration. Say 'transcendental-

last syllable and thereupon was hauled

The Daughters Of the American Rev.
olution have held a lively and at times
exciting convention in Washington,
concluding their labors on Saturday -
During the early hours there was bit
ter contest for the presidency but it was
finally disslpated by the withdrawal OF
Mrs. Donald Mclean of New York from
the race, which left Mrs, Fairbanks of
Indiana almost the cole candidate. Mrs.
Mclean withdrawal was regarded by
the Daughters as most graceful and won
for her such great popularity that it is
generally conceded that she will be e.
lected to succeed Mrs Fairbanks two
years hence, no president being eligi
Bile for more than two terms under the
provisions Of the constitution.

A few extracts from Mr.. A. ID.
Shamel's address upon Corn.

The Indian Corn plant yields to the il flu
ence of man more readily than any other cul.
tivated plant, and serves his purpose in many
ways. To illustrate and confirm this state
ment the following ten experiments were
conducted for a series Of years. the corn for
these experiments beng selected from one
field the same season., VIZ No. l. large eur;
No. 2, ear high upon the stalk; No. 8, ear low
upon the stalk; No 4, long shanked ear; No
5, short shanked ear; No. 9, ear upon long
jointed fodder; No. Z ear upon short jointed
fodder; No. 8, husk projecting oyer ear; No.
8, husk shorter than ear; No 10, an ear taken
to be as near an ideal and from an ideal
stalk in points of vlgor, health, size and pro-
ductiveness as possible This is the one
permanent breeding is to be continued from.
Each lot of ears we're carefully labeled and
planted in plats to themselves, the selections
being continued with the same idea of the
first selection. The results were surprising
as well as interesting to the studious mind.
No. made an enormous ear at the sacrifice
OF many good qualities with large coarse
fodder, No. Q, the height of the ear was in,
creased from 10 to "a inches with correspond.
ing height and coarseness of fodder: No. 8.
the height of the ear was reduced from 10 to
10 inches. with a tendency toward decided
weakness of vitality, small ear and small fod
der; No. 4. the shank WAS increased to such
an extent as to cause the ear drop down and
break off, No. 8, the result similar to No. 2,
long coarse fodder not able to stand its own
weight and joint increased 4 to 10 inches;
No. ia happy medium, robust. vigorous
plant, joint decreased to inches; No, 8,
the husk grew very long and in some cases
10 inches over the ear; No. 8, the musk was
shortened so that fully one half of the ear
was exposed. From No. 10 the best results
were obtained There were threeEsepara,e
experiments made from No. 10, iDbreeding
for feeding, fer glucose and for oil manu-.
facture.
In breeding plants as In breeding animals,
the same laws exist. We can breed them
for special purposes. 1t Is fact that corn
a. we know it is poor feeding grain being
low in per cent Of protein containing but
per cent. To be perfect feeding stuff ii
should contain II per cent of protein. BY

careful examination of seed 1t was found
some corn contained better qualities and by
selecting this for seed has increased the per
cent Of protein 10 per cent, making very
nearly correct feeding stuff. The same re.
suit was obtained for starch and oil by care
ful lbreeding In breeding for starch the
plant Is weakened as the germ Is reduced in
size and also lowers the terminating qual-
ties. In breeding fur OIL the germ is made
larger, the feeding qualities improved and a
vigorous healthy plant insured.
Growing corn for seed is q special bushes
the ears being selected from stalks show.
Ing many points of excellence; vigor of plant,
quality and quantity Of gram, size of ear,
ear well proportional compared with The
vigor of plant on which it grew; the very best
ears being used for the seed plat each year,
and the seed plat being separated by strip
of timber or good distance frcm other corn
so there is no influence of foreign pollen.
The seed ears are numbered and planted In
separate rows. the rows numbered to CORE
ppond This is done 30 as to breed out all
weaknesses, as some ears produce weak
plants or show low per cent of germinat-
ing qualities All barren as we'll as weak
plants being detasselled before their pollen
is ripe to exert its influence. The rows
showing the greatest number of good points
are staked while growing and scored Tue
best ears are selected from these rows and left
to thoroughly mature upon the plant, then
husked and dried thoroughly and kept from
severe changes of weather. and not shelled
until planting time as nature has provided
the cob to protect the germ. Always buy
seed corn in the ear. The ears should he
well proporl ioncd-one regular diameter as
near rs possible about to 10 inches in
length, well filled at both ends but not at tx
tremes, from 10 to "a rows of grains upon
the cob, the rows straight, close together and
firm; the grain wedge shaped but not so
much 50 as to be fimsy; long coming to
gradual point and rough at top, with cob
large enough to hold the quantity of corn
perfectly. As to color, red cob for yellow
corn; white cob for white corn, a mixture Of
color shows bad breeding.
All growers can tell what their corn is hes:
suited for by observing these instructions.
A corn rich in protein is shaped like dcscr'p.
ton given above, the clear substance at the
sides of The grain being protein, the white
substance at the top is starch and the germ
is the oil. To obtain corn rich in starch
you want large flat grain with little germ,
BY observing these Instructions you can
breed upon your own turm corn better
suited to your soil than you can possibly buy
ard have something TO be proud of.
As plant breeding Of today is where mi
nal b'e dug was fifty years ago, let us I've
blessing to our race by doing something no
one else will do, namely, make two grains
grow where one grew before.

The Stomach is the Man.

A weak stomach weakens the man
because it cannot transform the food he
eats into nourishment. Health and
strength cannot be restored to any sich
man or weak woman without first re-
storing health and strength to the stom
ach. A weak stomach cannot digest
enough food to feed the tissues and re-
vive the tired and run down limbs and
organs of the body. Kodol Dyspepsia
