Choral Union Concert.
Oar Local Talent and Boston soloists
will Give Their Recital March 20.

Oar Local Talent and Boston soIoIsis
will Give Their Recital March 20.
Our readers will be interested to know
that the St. Tohnsbury Choral Union will
give their public recital in Music Hall on
Tuesday evening, March 20. They have
been faithfully rehearsing the past win
ter under the direction OF Edward Kings
lev and will be assisted at the concert by
Miss Jennie Trecartin OF Boston, soprano
soloist, and Frederick Hastings Of Bos-
ton. baritone soloist. The works studied
this winter have been of the highest or
der and works which the public will ap-
preciate. The program will include the
following works:
The Pilgrims, (chorus) Chadwick.
Selections, Miss Trecartin.
Lullaby, Ladies chorus.
Selections, Mr.. Hastings.
The Death ofMinnehaha, (choruS) lay
lor.
The concluding number, "The Death OF
Minnehaha, 8" is one OF the finest produc-
tons of II. Coleridge Taylor. Every per
son in St. Johnsbury should hear the
words from the beautiful poem by Long
fellow set to the weird and fascinating
music as written by Taylor. This orr
torio alone is worthy OF a crowded house
at its rendering. In Boston and other
cities where it has been given, it has cap
tivated the audiences.
The Pilgrims is also beautiful oratorlo
and the one which Prot Blasdell, when
last here, recommended to the Choral
Union for their next study.
The ladies have several choruses which
are exceptionally pleasing and tuneul'
Miss Trecartin will be pleasantly re-
membered here as the soloist who APP
peared with the Boston Symphony Sex
tette in the lecture series of entertain
ments last winter She is one of the
most popular soprano sol0ists otBoston.
Mr.. Hastings is a fine baritone soloist
who has been very successful in rendering
the solo work in the Death of Mime
haha."
Mr.. Harris will preside at the piano,
and the instrumental work in this ora
torio, though difficult, is magnificent.
This concert should be one of excep-
tional merit, and the Choral Union,
which aims to lift the musical standard
in S.. Johnsbury, is deserving of the best
support OF the public. Mr.. Kingsley,
Mr.. Harris and the chorus have all work
ed faithfully on these works, and the
Choral Union as an organization ask
that the public give it the. benefit which
will be derived from a crowded house.
Further particulars OF the concert and
the sale OF seats will be given next week.

SELECTION OF SEED CORN.
Weight of Kernel and Size of Germ
as Affecting VigOr of Plant.

as Affecting VigOr of Plant.
There has been a diversity of opin-
ion as to whether the vigor of corn
plant is OF is not governed in any way
by the weight Of the kernel or the size
of the germ in the kernel from which
it grows. As a result of experiments
on these points the following conclu-
sions are reported by the Maryland
experiment station:
First. to determine if
the size of the kernels as determined
by the weight have any effect on the
vigor of the plant show:
(a) The heaviest grains do not nee
ess3rily have the best terminating
qualities.
(b) Plants from the heaviest grains
attain the greatest height when sup
piled with moisture but this need not
hold true in time of drought.
(c) Plants from the highest bred seed
hold their vigor better than others dur
ing drought.
Id The heaviest grains do not nee
essarily revive most quickly after
moisture has been supplied succeeding
a drought.
Second.-EXperiment to determine
the relation between the size of the
germ and the vigor of the resulting
plant show:
(a) The terminating properties of
the kernels containing different sizes
of germs may be equal.
(b) AS the plants grow older the
largest, hardest and most vigorous
plants come from the kernels with the
large germs. ..r t... -.
(cl The plants from the kernels with
the largest germs withstand the
drought best.
These experiments are also consider
ed as indicating that in the selection
of seed corn the following points
should be observed:
FirSt-That there is not only a great
difference in the individuality of plants
coming from kernels from different
ears, but from kernels of the same ear
Second,-High breeding is of more
Importance than weight or size Of
grain.
Third.-To insure good stand and
large yield none but large germed
kernels should be used.

To me one of the most gratifying fea-
lures of the dairy business is the ex.
ceedingly high price of cheese. 1t is
usually very unfortunate for any COM
modify to reach a point where the cost
becomes prohibitive In this case it
will, Of course, have an unfavorable
influence, but it will be insignificant
compared to the fact that we are be-
ginning to know the value of good full
cream cheese and that at usual prevail
ing prices it is cheap food. Almost
anything in a box will bring IL cents,

on the market at any price The cheese

morning Two minor accidents were Responsible
Tor the trouble, and all arriving and departing
trains up to were late. The primary cause
OF the trouble was the splitting in two of freight
train at Mott Haven The peculiar track condi-
tons at Mott Haven caused delay on all the local
tracks, and the situation further complicated
when passenger left the rails just outside
OF the station. The delays amounted to two hours
or more Aor practically all the rush hour trains.
Irete passengers flied the station, complaining
OF the conditions, which are daily growing worse.
Commuters on the Hudson division particularly
indignant. They say that much OF the incon-
venience and delay which they suffer every few
days could be averted by the simple expedient of
stopping all Hudson division trains ct nssbridge,
with the Broadway division of the subway.
AT the present time eighteen tracks only are in
from 625 TO rs trains handled every weekday.
