TESTING SEED CORN.

Hundreds of men who read this item
will be planting q field Of corn before
long. Most Of them have their seed
corn saved after a fashion; some have
1t in the crib, some up In the attic. some
in the oat bin. some down cellar. Few
Of them really know just what per
cent of this seed corn will grow. Many
Of them will test It by selecting few
kernels here and there and planting
them, but that will lie all. There Is
better way-a method by which the ex-
act terminating power Of the seed corn
can be determined. 1t requires little
time and patience, but the work can
be done during stormy days. Take
the corn selected for seed and lay 1t all
out on the table or on the floor. First
make a careful selection as to type,
throwing out all ears which are not
up to the standard which you select;
then put the selected ears In groups
Of ten each and number each ear; then
take out four kernels from different
parts of each ear, laying them opposite
each ear; then take a box five inches
deep and large enough to test each ear,
marking 1t off in one and onehalf inch
squares after 1t is filled with two inches
Of sand or loan. Number the squares
In pencil so that they will cor
respond to the numbers on the corn,
place the four kernels In their proper
square, lay over. them sheet Of cloth
and place ON that an inch or so Of damp
sawdust. Set the box in room where
the temperature will not be over 70
and inside Of week you can gently
raise the cloth and find out just what
kind Of seed corn you have got. Ears
which are thus shown to be defective
or weak in terminating power can then
be identified and thrown out. Good
seed has more to do with the yield Of
the corn crop than most people think.

HE DOES NOT WANT MORE LAND.

kACs DOE<S Nol WAN LAMB
You have good farm of 16O acres
and are not content, but want more
land. Let's see. You raised last year
an average Of thirty three bushels Of
| corn to the acre and thirty-two Of oats;
your hay gave you one ton and quar-
/ ter to the acre, your potatoes ninety
five bushels; you got $50 from your
poultry yard, and your COWS returned
you $50 each for cream sold; your
steers sold good way under the top
Of the market and the only full blood
ed thing you have on the place is
a shepherd dog, which followed you
home from town one day. See here:
you don't. want any more land. If you
had more acres to work, your crops
would be still smaller. The trouble is
the acres you have want a coat Of
brains. We passed your place the 9th
er day and saw your stock eating up
and wasting poorly built stack of
what was last July fine timothy and
clover hay; we saw your milk cows
one cold morning out in the cornfield
foraglng among the stalks and noticed
toward night that your hens roasted in
the trees around the barn; we also
saw your wife with q shawl over her
head digging around the wood pile to
get little dry wood to cook your sup
per with, and you recOllect we met
you in town loafing on dry goods box
and cussing the government. You
know that your boy was pulled before
the mayor for getting drunk and rails
ing Cain one night lately and that
about that time one of your best horses
was ruined with barbed wire cut
because the halter rope was rotten
and the barn door off the hinges. You
don't want any more land The more
you have the worse you will be off.
Better just stop and have good think
ing spell all by yourself and see if
you can't better yourself under exist
ing conditions. 1t is entirely possible
for you on this farm to double your
present income, and that's no joke Ell
Their. Brains and work will make the
old farm give you sixty bushels Of corn
to the acre, two and a half tons Of hay,
fifty-five bushels Of oats. You can get
$500 income from your cows, and your
poultry yard should give you $3.50 If
properly managed. Run in debt If
need be for manure spreader tomor-
row and get those 400 loads Of manure,
which makes a bog OF your barnyard,
out on to the fields. Test those cows
and fire the Improbable ones. Get a
$50 bull at the head of your herd, SOW
at least twenty acres Of clover this
spring and every spring thereafter. ro-
tate your crops, build silo, save your
corn fodder. get dry wood handy for
your wife. quit loaflng In town, fill
your home with good reading matter
and quit cussing the administration
and wishing for more land. You will
think inside Of three years you have
more land than you can work. The fore
going is perhaps not very nicely said,
but it is the truth and sizes up the case
Of q whole lot of you fellows.

THINLY YELLED THREATS.
Porte's Reply to the Powers Categori-
cal Rejection.

CONSTANTINOPLE, via Sofia, Bulgaria.
November 24.-The porte's reply to the de-
mands of the powers is not only a cate
gorical rejection of the demands but con-
tains thinly yelled threats that the pressure
of Europe will possibly excite the Turkish
population to reprisals on the Christians.
The note declares that the Ottoman govern
ment Loyalty introduced the reforms de-
manded by the MuerZteg program, and says
that If these did not entirely succeed the
fault was in the hatred dividing the ma
tionalities in Macedonia and instigation
from abroad.
The communication states that the Turk
sible to accept financial control of Mace
donia as 1t would violate the sultan's SOW
ereignty. After agreeing to the prolonga-
ton of the mandates of the foreign civil
agents. the note concludes:
IF the powers increase the pressure in
order to compel the acceptance of the con-
troll scheme the imperial government de-
c1ines all responsibility for the consequences
which may arise from the discomfort of the
republic"
The latter part of the note implying the
possibility of massacres has created bad
impression in diplomatic circles, where 1t
is regarded as being deliberate attempt
to create artificial public excitement against
financial reform with the object of intimi-
dating Europe. AT the same time 1t Is
recognized that there is danger of trouble
in Macedonia and that the powers ought to
have forces in readiness to act promptly at
the first sign of an outbreak.
The foreign representatives are consider,
ing the question of increasing the number
of their guardships here In order to pro-
tect citizens of their nationalities.
Baron Marschall Won Bieberstein, the Ger
man ambassador, has again urgently rep
resented to the palace authorities the ad-
visibility Of accepting the powers demands
and thus prevent disagreeable consequences
