IMPROVING SEED CORN.
Experiments Demonstrate That Sc
lection Is an Important Factor
in Securing Good Crops.

In the Year Book o! 1902 Prof. &. p.
Hartley gives the result of six breeding
experiments made to improve corr by
seed selection. a stalk Of PSiric Golden
Beauty corn, producing exceptionally
broad leaves. was fortified with pollen
from the same plant. and the seed from
the resulting ear produced plants exhibit
ing the same character.
The seed from these plants produced
brOad-lcavcd plants.
In one experiment three snort and
very lcafy stalks Of tall-growing white
dent corn were crOss-pollinatcd one with
another. The resulting seed produced
plants resembling the parent stalks.
The test OF seed ear varying in the
percentage OF shelled corr showed that
each seed ear transmitted It's characte.
In this respect to its offspring. Another
test Of seed ears showed that, the longer
the seed ear, the greater was the average
length Of the ears produced.
Experiments have been made to test
the extent to which the size OF the
germ can be transmitted. The results
almost without exception showed the
germs of the progeny Of the large
Eermed ears 10 be plainly larger than
those Of the progeny OF the small
gcrmed ears.
The individuality Of kernels was
studied by planting red and white ker-
HclS from a spotted ear of white dent.
About onc-haif Of the ears produced
had kernels like those planted, and the
rest of the ears were white. In "A second
test Of this Kind various kernels Of a
hybrid ear followed the same rule Of
transmitting their individual charac'
ters.

WESTERN CANADA'S RE.
SOURCES.
Farming Very successtuI.

BY Western or Northwest Canada II
country west of ontario, and north OF
Minnesota. North Dakota, and Montana.
Part of it Is agricultural prairie, t~reeless
in places, park like in others, part is
genuine plains, well adapted to cattle
ranches; part requires irrigation for
successful tillage, most Of IT does not.
The political divisions Of this region are
the Province Of Manitoba and the terri
torial district of Assiniboia, Saskat-
chewan, Alberta and Athabask. At
present, however, the latter is loo re-
mote for immediate practical purposes.
The general character OF the soil OF
Western Canada Is q rich, black. clay
loan with u clay subsoil. Such a soil is
particularly rich in food for the wheat
plant. The subsoil Is a clay. which re-
tains the winter frost until 1t Is thawed
out by the warm rays of the sun and
drawn upward to stimulate the growth
of the young wheat, so that even In dry
seasons wheat is a good crop. The clay
soil also retains the heat of the sun later
In the summer. and assists In the early
ripening Of the grain. II is claimed that
cultivation has the effect of increasing
the temperature OF the soil several de-
grees, rs well as the air above 1t.
Western Canada climate is goOd-cold
in winter; hot In summer, but with cool
nights. Violent storms Of any kind are
rare. The rainfall IL not heavy. 1t
varies with places. but averages about
II inches. 1t falls usually at the time
the growing crops need it.
The department Of the interior, OF
tawa, Canada. has agents established at
different points throughout the United
States who will be pleased to forward an
Atlas of Western Canada, and give such
other information as to railway rate,
etc, as may be required.
That agriculture in Western Canada
pays is shown by the number of tcsti-
monials given by farmers, The follow

Genhemen=l have been engaged in the practice of medicine in this

themselves by pains in the back, often extending to other parts of the

Baby Badly Scalded.

A four-year-old son of August Boyer
and wife of Courtland, had an extreme
ly narrow escape from death last We'd
nesday. The accident was somewhat
similar to that which occurred in New
Ulm Thursday but its results were not
SO disastrous. 1t happened while
Mrs. Boyer was doing the family
washing. She had taken a kettle of
boiling water from the stove and in
some manner the baby fell into it. His
lower limps and portions of his body
were dreadfully scalded and for time
it was feared that he could not survive.
However, physician dressed his
burns and he will now recover.

IMPROVEMENTS GOING ON
Alterations at Empire Mill to Give
Greater Capacity.

Improvements and alterations that
are being made at the Empire mill are
to give it greatly increased capacity
and in every way add to the value and
Importance of the plant. Some time
ago this paper outlined the plans of
the New Ulm Roller Mill company in
this direction and the preliminary
work is now well under way. No great
length of time will be required to bring
it to completion and when this is
accomplished the mill will be better
equipped than at any time in it's
history.
During the past week the section
formerly used as a shipping and stor-
age shed was torn away from the mill
building and moved to a new location
east of the Office and nearer the Min
neapolis & St. Louis tracks. 1t is to
become the cooper shop, the plans pro-
viding for the remodelling of the lower
floor for this purpose, while the upper
story will be converted into a ware
house for the storage of miscellane-
Gus articles.
To replace the shipping shed a large
addition will be built, but first the
mill proper is to be raised one story.
The dimensions of the addition are
22x57 feet and it will be the full five
stories in height. AS in the past the
ground floor will be utilized for load
ing freight cars, while in the upper
stories and in that added to the mill
will be placed the new Touring ma
chinery. The stationary engine pur-
chased recently is now being set up
and new engine room, 2lx31 feet in
size, will be erected.
By August 18th it is expected to
have the building operations fully
completed and the improved milling
machinery will be placed in position
as soon thereafter as possible. Once
it is installed and in working order
the output Of the mill will be increased
by more than one hundred barrels and
the management will be in a position
to keep pace with the growing demand
for their various brands of flour ano
other products.

THAT WHICH REMAINS.

Two ladened ships to foreign ports are borne
Each to its destiny apart, unknown;
MOUNTAINEERING upon a ftful sea.
The gathering wind in the blush of morn
Speeds them, each one on its path alone.
Where daylight pales and clouds move rest
llessly.
Each wave-tossed ship shapes out its own true
way
Alone; a little world uncrossed by care.
Destiny marks them passing side by side.
Nor strives by aught their onward course to
stay.
They meet-a moment thus their way they
fare
Then part, between them rolls an ocean
wide.
Solife sends out its freighted caravans;
Its argosies speed on to ports unknown,
While heavy mists hang low upon the sea
And destiny, reversing all its hidden plans,
Onward speeds US thru the miSts alone,
Thru seas that beat our bark remorselessly
So in life's plan we meet and part we So
A glimpse of love. a word OF sympathy
Yet ruled by fate our restless ships move on
And lonely as a single star in space we go;
Crossing the path of those 'tWere life to see
And know-then all but memory is gone.

GOOD YIELD IS EXPECTED
Brown County Will Harvest a
Splendid Crop.
Farmers Say That the Small Grain
is Perfect.
Corn Not Badly Retarded by the
Late Spring.

Prospects for bumper crop of all
kinds of grain in Brown county we're
never better than they are today The
favorable weather of the past two
weeks has gived the growing crops a
wonderful impetus so that the lateness
OF the spring seeding has been practi-
cally overcome. This is especially
true of corn, which in most cases is not
to exceed a week behind in its growth
over the average year, while a great
many fields are claimed to be fully up
to the average.
The barley harvest was begun in a
number of fields the latter part of last
week and by the close of the present
week the harvest of this grain will be
we'll along so far as the cutting is con-
cerned. The stand is very heavy and
the yield will accordingly be unusually
large.
Wheat and oats are also rapidly
maturing. The stand of both of these
grains is excellent, and if weather
favorable for filing is given the yield
of both will be heavy. At present
everything is as favorable as could be
desired. The warm weather of the
past two weeks, accompanied by good
breezes, has done much for all fields,
retarding the growth of the straw and
drying out the underground, thus pre-
venting damaging rusts.
The rye crop is now in the shock,
and the yield as we'll as the quality
will be good. The hay crop has also
been an unusually heavy one, the
ample rainfall throughout the season
giving vigorous growth to all
grasses. The first cutting of this crop
has been completed and most of it is
now in the stack. The potato crop, OF
which there is very large acreage,
also gives promise of a large yield
and good quality.
Taken all in all the present year bids
fair to prove banner one for Brown
county. The present prospects and
the present conditions looking to the
fulfllment of these prospects are in
every way most satisfactory.

Will Build Another.

Arrangements have been made by
the Eagle Roller Mill company to add
another to its string of elevators on
the Minneapolis & ST. Louis. A con-
tract has been awarded for the erection
OF an elevator at Boyd, making five
new buildings the mill will put up this
summer in that territory. Contractor
Honstain will this week complete the
elevator at Madison, the work at
Clarkfeld is well under way and that
at Boyd will be begun at once. When
these buildings and those at Dawson
and Fairfax are finished the Eagle line
will number ffty-six.
