HOMEGROWN Affairs Seed.
Reports from Michigan farmers
on plats seeded to alfalfa show the
folly of using seed imported from Eu-
| rope, rather than the home grown
seed. 7'he imported seed has less
vitality and does not catch so well,
and also has lower per cent Of GER
mination. While these two points are
enough to enable the farmer to see
that the home grown seed is Clearly
the best, there is one more serious
objection to the imported seed. Most
of it is found TO contain large amount
of weed seed. the most troublesome
ones being dodder and buckthorn.
One man invested something over u
hundred dollars in European seed, the

Wright said that she had just started to
leave the Sauer home with the girl 8
parents, whom she intended to take for
a drive, when she experienced a sensa-
ton of alarm and unrest. Something
seemed to tell her that all was not well
at her home.
Mrs. Wright determined to drive
home before starting for the drive. She
followed out her presentiment, and,
driving east on PLATINUM street to the
house, left the sauers sitting in the
carriage and entered her home. AS she
entered she heard the voice of Lizzie
Sauer calling family "Mother,' and
stood aghast to see the young girl lying
on the floor between the front and back
rooms, dying. T.
Investigation showed that Miss Saue1
had been shot with revolver of 80
caliber, a weapon that belonged in the
house. The bullet had entered her
chest, and, going entirely thru her body

situation from his viewpoint. In 1896,
he says, the country was suddenly con

the money question. The result was the
greatest educational campaign evar
