chine while the inner circles, nearer and
nearer the machine will be made up of
the poorer and more shrunken seeds.
Thus the very best seed can be select
ed out of the whole quantity by taking
that which is on the outside.
Now this seed should be tested for
termination and vigor as described by
Professor Bull. If ninety per cent is
the result of the termination test, the
test is good for wheat, and is fit to be
sown. For other grains the percentage
varies somewhat.
If the grain has not good pedigree,
if its ancestry has not been creditable,
it is best to discard it entirely and try
some new kind. If the termination
test proves the grain unsatisfactory, it
would better be discarded.
When a farmer does conclude to in
troduce some new grain upon his farm
he should get it as near home as pos
sible; and from the best farmer in the
neighborhood, who has grown it for the
longest time under the best methods and
has obtained the best general results.
The professor impressed his hearers
with the following wholesome sugges-
tons:
One. Never sow or sell all the seed
grain on hand, but carry over from year
to year so that in the case of total
loss of the crop you will still have some
pedigreed and acclimated seed for .
foundation.
Two Always select the best part OF
your crop for seed before harvesting
cut, stack and thresh this by itself, do
ing the threshing after the rest of the
crop has been threshed, thus reducing
the danger of mixing in the machine to
a minimum.
Three Always clean your seed, as
already described.
TouI. Always tlcdh W.T. Steu loi
smut, as described by Professor Bull.
Five. If your seed becomes mixed
with other varieties sow small patel
of the very best and cleanest seed by
itself and pick out the foreign heads by
hand just as it begins to head out. Any
kind of a mixture of varieties is very
undesirable for many reasons.
Six. Start a seed nursery in you
garden, and every year go through youi
fields at harvest time and select few
of the best grains from the best heads
from the best stools, and sow them by
themselves in well prepared soil in you
garden where they can be carefully
watched and tended. You will be sur
prised at the rapidity with which desir
able strains can be increased in this
way, and the amount of improvement
that can be accomplished.

From Thursdays Daily.
The ice went out of the Blue Earth
river as far as can be seen and also
from the Minnesota river below the
mouth of the Blue Earth yesterday.
This is the earliest tina tit has gone out
in the recollection of old settlers. Last
year the breakup occurred March 2lst,
and that was considered unusually
early.
Above the. mouth of the Blue Earth
river, where ice was cut during the
winter, it is still firm and may hold

TURN ON THE sEARcHLIGHT.

Elmer E. Brown, who honors the peo-
pie of Hastings, Nebraska, by editing
the Observer, had the audacity to ac-
cuse a local insurance company of gross
mismanagement in a recent issue #
that paper, for which he was hailed be-
fore the court on a charge of criminal
libel. The mar sitting ON the bench
had a keen appreciation of the free
dom of the press, it's mission and its
duty to the public. In ruling the judge
remarked:
81 believe it is the duty of the news
papers to turn the light of publicity on
such companies. The prosecution of
editors in such cases is a farce and
their conviction would be a miscar-
rage Of justice. The grafters are the
only ones deserving of prosecution and
in my judgment it would be necessary
to enlarge the prisons if all the guilty
ones were placed behind the bars"
That emanated from a disciple of the
old school where honesty was taught
as one of the cardinal virtues. The
guilt lies not in exposing r~ascals, but
in maintaining silence while the pub
lie is being robbed.-Mining and Engi-
n%eering Review.
