SEED CORN.

SEED COhN.
Every farmer should husk his seed
corn early In the fall. but after II
has completely ripened. and see thai
it is thoroughly dry before freezing
weather. A fairly good drying rach
can be made by fastening by
scantling above the floor in an ordi'
nary crib. Lay narrow boards OF
these with wide cracks between
them. The seed corn should be plac
ed on this about one or two feet
daap, Make several racks, one above
the other.
There are several cautions which
observed in the storing
OF seed corn. Do not put immature
or freshly gathered seed corn II
warm room on the floor or In piles
1t win either sprout or mould, OF
The corn should be hung "
and the windows left open for the
circulation OF air.
Seed corn. should not be left In
barrels and boxes, nor on the floor
or porch in piles 1t should be prop
erly taken care OF as soon as harv.
ested.
Do not store seed corn over the
laundry room nor over the stable
as 1t will gather moisture and be in
jured by freezing.
The most critical time for seet
corn is during the first month aftel
It is harvested. while 1t is greer
and sappy There is danger that /
will mold or grow II the room Il
, warm and the circulation Of the al,
is not good or II the corn is put II
piles. On the other hand, there 4
danger OF its freezing unless protect
ed.
The above statements show quit
plainly that II special pains have
not been taken during the preced
Ing fall and winter 70 protect th'
seed corn from the numerous agen
cies which may reduce or destroy IL

LINING THE SOIL

It will generally be necessary to
lime soils intended for alfalfa FREE
Quent tests with litmus paper seem
to Indicate that large per cent Of
our soils are acid. The bacteria which
live In the nodules of leguminous
crops and give them their power TO
assimilate atmosphere nitrogen do
not seem TO thrive in an acid media,
and lime must be used TO correct
this condition. Lime is useful in
many other ways, though It is not
a direct fertilizer, as many suppose,
and word or warning on this point
may be out Of place. Lime does In
crease the crop-yielding capacity OF
the soil, because 1t assists, In sett-
ing free forms OF potash which may
not have been available as plant
food before now. and Il has somewhat
the same action toward insoluble
forms Of phosphorus Besides cor
recting ncidity and thus making pos
able the rapid growth OF various de-
alrable forms OF bacteria. It aids
in the digestion of vegetable matter,
bringing II into forms where It will
be most useful to the growing crop.
II ameliorates the general condition
of the soil through floculaung clays
and making them more porous.
Therefore, lining soils intended for
alfalfa is quito as important as IN
creasing the vegetable matter or add
Ing to the available supply Of phos-
phorus and potash.
Lime should be applied to all lands

HORSE NOTES.

Breeding from vicious parents will
not produce the sort Of horses that
are desirable on the farm. Meth
er will tf0tting horses make good an
imals for agricultural purposes.
Horses and colts can live on hay
alone, but they win thrive better on
q mixed ration OF grain and hay.
Some farmers claim that alfalfa hay
" superior to oats as a feed for
horses. In feeding 1t, however. care
must be exercised not to let the
stock eat it too freely.
There is a scarcity of good carri-
age horses all over the country at
present and prices are constantly ad
vaneins This is due tn The fact that
In no ct.on OF the United States
are breeders making any special e.
fort to supply this c.,ss Of horses.
Short-ribbed horses are always light
in weight and are generally poor
feeders.
Before buying a horse for either
draft or driving purposes, carefully
examine the front feet and hooks,
rs those are the parts come directly
in contact with the hard work. I'm
less they are sound and good, a
horses usefulness will be greatly
impaired.
Never buy a stallion whose feet
are constructed and brittle, or whose
hooks are puffy and fleshy looking.

IS COMPLIMENT, NOT PUNISHMENT
Transfer of Chaplain Reaney from the
Brooklyn Navy Yard to
Ship.
WASHINGTON, D. c., April s.

WASHINGTON, D. c., April S.
Navy department officials who have
to do with the personnel of the SER
vice are much surprised to learn that
any fault is found with the authorities
over the issue of orders which trans
fer Chaplain w. H. l. Reaney of the
the Brooklyn navy yard to the yard at
Portsmouth, N H., where that officer
will be attached to the prison ship
Southery The assignment was re-
garded as a compliment to the chap
lain, and no one here dreamed for a
moment that it would be construed
in any other way. Any movement in
behalf of the chaplain on the part of
his friends in New York will be re-
garded here as misguided and certain
ly without the authority, much less at
the instance, of Chaplain Reaney. He
was described by the officers in the
bureau of navigation as one of the
best and most useful naval chaplainS,
and on this account was selected for
duty with the prison ship, where he
will get sea duty pay, and the work
requires patience, discretion and in
dustry. Not every chaplain will do for
such a responsible billet and the fact
that objection is made on the part of
some of the chaplain's admirers ap-
pears to the naval authorities here
as altogether unprecedented. 1t is not
likely that the orders to the chaplain
will be changed under the circum-
stances He was not selected by way
of punishment of any sort or as a re-
suit of political operations of any kind.
1t was his turn to get other duty, and
his ability and record entitled him to
the compliment of getting some duty
which is difficult in proportion to his
fitness to fill the bill

MANY WORDS FLASHED OVER OCEAN
Trans Atlantic Achievement Is Re
garded as Great Forward Step
in Wireless TeIesraphy.

NEW YORK, April 5.-On Tuesday
night, according to the statements OF
employees and officers of a wireless
telegraph system, 572 words were
flashed across the Atlantic ocean, from
Coney island to the coast of Ireland, a
distance of 1920 miles, without the
use of cables, wires or any other me-
dunn than the atmosphere
This transatlantic achievement is
regarded as marking the greatest for
ward step yet taken in the develop
ment of telegraphy without wires
For several nights past the Coney
Island station has been sounding
messages across the ocean and these
messages have been received in large
part by the operators in Ireland. Tues
day night, however, marked the maxi
mum of achievement.
On that night a total of 1000 words
was sent out from the Coney Isltnd
station. The messages were sent in
various keys, pitches or tunes, to use
the wireless vernacular, in order to as
certain the correct one. Ireland re-
ported by cable that 572 of these words
were received and recorded.

supposed sudden demise of their little
daughter was overwhelming. A ply
stefan was hastily summoned and he
pronounced the child dead, and prepa-
rations were begun for her burial.
The body was clothed in a shroud
and made ready for the casket, but
before being placed in it the parents
discovered that a little warmth still
remained in the body and refused to
allow the preparations for the funeral
to go on For six days the child lay
without motion and, except for the
slight amount of heat and a faint
flush on her cheeks, had every appear
ance of a corpse.
Yesterday the parents, who We're
watching in an adjoining room, We're
overjoyed to hear the faint voice of
their child and, rushing to the bedside,
found that she had recovered con-
seriousness. Although weak, the little
one seems to be in good health again
and shows no ill effects from her long
trance.

FAMILY ESCAPES DROWNING.
Iowa Man, Wife and Daughter Have
Exciting Experience in Flood.

NASHUA, Iowa, April 5.-While re-
turning to their home near Carrville
yesterday from a visit to Ionia, Frank
Stromberg, wife and little daughter,
had a narrow escape from drowning.
Near Carrvile the road which runs
along the river was under water sew
eral feet. The horse got off the grade
of the road into hole where the water
was very deep. The animal became
entangled in a barbed wire fence and
was dragged under the yater and
drowned. Fortunately, the buggy was
not overturned and the family remain
ed standing in it, waist deep in water,
until rescued. The spot was a lonely
one, and it was several hours before
assistance finally came, and all three
were much chilled from their submer-
sion in the icy water.

Since NJ Storer's return to Vienna
there has been practically severance
of diplomatic relations between the
American embassy at the foreign Of
flee as, now that Mr.. Storer is in Wen
ma, the Austro- Hungarian government
does not consider that Secretary Rives
is charge d'affaires.
Mr.. Storer's letter of recall is ex-
pected next week, but unless the
Washington state department au-
thorizes Mr.. Storer to present it per-
sonally, it's presentation must await
the coming of Mr. Francis, Mr.. Stor-
er's successor. Should Mr.. Francis not
arrive before the middle of June, his
audience with the emperor must be post
poned until the end of September. as
the emperor leaves Vienna early in
June for his usual sOjourn in the
mountains, and the Austrian court
ceremonial provides that new ambas-
solar cannot be introduced to the en-
peror except in the imperial palaces
at Vienna or Budapest.
A strong feature of this unusual
diplomatic situation is the fact that

Was Hidden.

ENGLISH, Ind, April By the
storm uprOOting an apple tree last

George Patten forty years ago, was

to be renewed by his family, and yes
terday afternoon the discovery of $13,-
900 more was made.
1t is believed that the total amount
hidden was 100000. Patten claimed to

SWALLOWED BIG STONE.
Strange Obstruction Removed from
Throat of Insane Man.

ROCHESTER,, Mimi, April "a
stone the size of a small apple has
just been removed from the gullet of
an insane patient brought here from
Hastings for treatment. The victim is
in a dangerous condition, for besides
the serious nature Of the operation
necessary for the removal of the stone,
he had been unable to take food or
drink since last Saturday. The posi-
ton Of the stone was located by means
Of x-ray photographs. 1t was so
tightly wedged in the esophagus that
it's removal was accomplished with
great difficulty. 1t seems almost in
credible that a human being could
swallow a stone of the size, it being
large enough to fill the mouth cavity
of an ordinary person. 1t is believed
that the insane man must have used
considerable force. He is said to have
had a mania for swallowing things.

Secretary Hitchcock Makes An
Important Ruling
Affects MANY OF THE H0MEsTEADERs
ALL COMMUTERS MUST LIVE ON
THEIR LAND FOR EIGHT
MONTHS.

Secretary Hitchcock has put all
notice that if they intend to complete
their entries they shall remain upon
the land continuously during eight
months of the fourteen months COM
mutation period, is a report that comes
from Washington.
| Three decisions, all along the same
line, have been handed down by the
secretary in the past month. One case
came from South Dakota, another
from Nebraska, and the third from
Oklahoma In all three cases the en-
trymen had offered proof with their
applications to commute, which was
deemed insufficient as to residence by
the commissioner of the general land
| the secretary.
Under the practice of the interior
department a homesteader may take
six months to establish constructive
residence on the land covered by his
applcation-that is, he may take that
length of time to go upon the land and
build his house and start cultivation.
Fourteen Months Period.
The Communication period is fourteen
months from the date of entry, when
| the entryman, upon paying $1.25 an
acre for his holdings, and submitting
satisfactory proof of residence during
that period, may receive a patent for
the land covered by his entry.
The secretary is very positive in
holding that the last eight months
of the Communication period shall be
point he says that Gin communication
cases the law not only requires that
it shall clearly and satisfactorily ap-
pear from the proof that the bona fide
residence was established within six
months from the date of entry, but
also that the actual residence upon the
land has been continuous from the
time it was established until the date
of hte making of final report"
Rejected Without Prejudice.
In the cases recently decided the
proof is rejected without prejudice,
which means that the entrymen are
privileged to go back upon the land
and establish residence and otherwise
comply with the law at any time with
in the five-year life of the entry.
1t is expected that when these de-
cisions gain wider circulation in the
public land states, there will be a gen.
eral compliance with the law, or else
a lot of homesteads will be relinquish-
ed. Developments along this line are
looked for along the extension of the
Milwaukee railroad from Evarts, S. D.,
to Seattle, Wash, where the local land
officers have been kept busy in re-
cent months receiving homestead en-
tries.
