William Mason, whose death we
made mention of in last weeks Expos
itOr, was born in Scotland, January /,
1854. When young boy he came
with his parents to this country. In
his younger days he followed the vO-
cation of farming and learned the mil
ler's trade which he worked at for many
years. In 1885 he married Christina
MacTavish, who with one child, Edith,
aged 3 years, and an aged mother re-
main to mourn his untimely departure.
The funeral was held from the house
in Kenockee township on Sunday, April
9Th, and was the largest ever held in
that section, over two hundred vehicles
made up the procession.
Deceased had wide acquaintance,
having held the office of county clerk
for four years and was the efficient sec
rotary of the st. Clair county Farmers
Institute. 1t was the hard work Mr..
Mason did in driving around the
county i'm the interest of the institute
that brought his final sickness about.
Mr.. Mason carried $1,000 life insur-
ance, $1,000 in the Modern MaccabeeS,
and $1,000 i'm an old line company. He

simply pushing the ears out of the
row. No man should plant corn that
has less than 95 or 80 per cent salts

This may seem like taking a good
deal of time and trouble, but mas
much as it takes only about ten
thousand grains, or from ten to
twelve ears, to the acre, the farmer
can very well afford to take the time
necessary to make this test. In fact,
there is nothing that he can do on
the farm that will pay him larger
wages, or contribute more to his edu-
cation as a farmer, than the operation
which We now advise.
The next thing to do is to grade
this corn according to the size Of the
grains, some broad, some long, some
medium. He desires above all things
else full stand. In some localities
three stalks to the hill on three-fOOt
eight-inch planter is about right. On
still others two on a three-foOt six
inch planter will be enough, while in

the extreme southern and extremtl
western part Of our territory, whertI
moisture is liable to be deficient, thisi
last would be too thick planting. Thtl
farmer himself must be the Judge oil
the stand he desires.
We presume that he has selected
his planter, and the thing now to btB
determined is the size of planter plate
that will drop the desired number o.,
grains. This can be determined only
by experiment.. Before testing hid
planter he should shell off the butts
and tips. 1t is not worth while to test:
these for termination. They will
germinate quite as well as the grains
in the middle of the ear. The trouble
is that on account Of the snaps of thu
grains it is impossible for him to get
an even stand, whether he uses aI|
edge-drop or ordinary planter.
Having selected his planter anG|
ascertained by actual test on the barr
floor that it will plant the number 0l
grains he desires, he should shell his
corn into different sacks, marking
them one, two, and three, to CORE
spond with the planter plate. Thi.|
may seem good deal OF trouble, but
it is the only method that we know
of to be absolutely sure Of getting aLl
even stand of corn, except the Ole
method Of planting by hand, which,
under western conditions, is entirely
impracticable. This may not be new
to many Of our readers, especially III
those who have attended short
courses and corn judging schools if|

Look After Your Seed Corn.

Notwithstanding the reputed large
crops of corn that have been grown
the last year, it still brings price
that is exceedingly profitable to the
grower who has good, strong land,
well prepared and planted with a.
variety of seed corn adapted to the
soil and climate.
Assuming that the reader has Sc
cured his seed corn, whether of his
own growing or from neighbor or
from dealer. the thing to do during
these February days is to test it; in
other words, to ascertain what per
cent of it will grow vigorously. We
assume that if he has purchased 1T,
it has been in the ear. No matter
how carefully he has selected 1t from
his own corn, or how good the sample
may be, or how high the general aver
age, in case he has purchased it from
dealer he will find on close examina-
tion that quite number OF the ears
are not good enough to plant.
The first thing for him to do now
that he has plenty of time is to put
these ears Of corn out in Il row on a
board or bench and select from them
typical ear. 1t need not be said to
our readers that this should be of
medium length, say from nine to ten
inches long depending on the loca-
tion), should not be too tapering,
should have medium sized cob,
neither too large nor too small, should
be cylindrical and reasonably well
| filled both at butt and tip. Taking
| this as model he can then go
through and push out Of the row any
ears that do not come up to the
standard These he should lay aside
to be used only in case of obsolute
necessity. .~Egr gg
The next thing to do is to take
about three grains from each side OF
the ear, one near the butt, one in the
middle, and the other about half way
between the middle and tip, and sub
nit them to the terminating test.
The best way to do this is to take d
box, the size of which will depend on
the nun ber of ears he wishes to test,
and put in the bottom of it some
earth or sawdust. Then cut a piece
of paper the size Of the box and rule
it off in squares of about an inch or
an inch and half, numbering these
as you would the sections of a town
ship. Wet the earth or sawdust and
lay this paper on it. Commence with
the first ear in the row; take six
grains from it and lay them on square
No. |, and so on until you have filled
all the squares in the box. Then lay
over this paper a piece of cloth or
paper, put on more earth, and moist
en- it. Then set the box i'm the living
room, or in a cellar in which there is
a furnace.
In three or four days, depending on
the temperature, carefully lift up the
cloth and notice the squares on which
there is vigorous termination. 1t
will be found that notw outstanding
all the care that has been taken.
grains from some ears have not
sprouted at all. In others the sprout
has not been vigorous. In some the
grains from one side of the ear will
sprout, from the other side not. In
some there will be a plumule, or
sprout, that is intended to develop
into the stalk: which is vigorous, and
the other deficient. Throw out all
the ears in which the termination has
been detective This can very easily
be done by one person calling out the

An Old Line Republican Writes
of the Situation.
Eureka, February II, 1906.

Eulcki. ToDlu - ioo''
There are some republican news
papers in the state which are forever
bowling about insurgent republicans
like Gamble, Elliott. Hall, RingSrud,
Wipf, Holman, Schamber, Crawford,
and hundreds of others that have
been always identified with the re-
publican party of the state; have
fought it's battles and made the party
what it is today. Now to one who is
a republican, who never voted any
thing but republican ticket, because,
believing in the principles of the
party and in the men selected to carry
out these principles, it seems funny
to charge or denounce such men as
insurgents. Why are they called in
surgents and who gives anyone, tenn
porarily clothed with power, the right
to call them insurgents and read them
out of the party?
Have these men at any time or
place neglected or avoided their du-
ties as republicans by being untrue or
in opposition to the principles as laid
down by the republican party in state
or national conventions assembled,
or have they ever at any time bOlted
a ticket put in the field by the re-
publican party.
l fail to anywhere see such charge
made and even more, our last state
convention very warmly and by unan-
imous vote very highly commended
Senator CANDLES conduct in the sem
ate of the United States, expressing
confidence in his ability and trust
worthiness and expressing great pride
in having him at the seat of Govern
ment, and by placing Mr.. Hall in
nomination for a second term as At
torney General for the State with
out an opposing vote and electing
him to the office by the highest num-
ber of votes ever cast for anyone in
the State. Does that look as if the re-
publicans of this state considered
these two men. at least, as inSur-
gents.
1t is true Mr.. Crawford was candi-
date for Governor seeking a nomina-
tion at the hands of the republicans
| in state convention assembled. at
Sioux Falls, but was not successful
therein.
Did he bolt the ticket.
After ElrOd's nomination was made
| the convention called for Crawford,
did not Crawford then and there on
that platform and in the presence of
that immense gathering of republi-
cans, bow gracefully to the will OF the
majority and offer his services to the
party and for the ticket there nomi-
mated. That during the campaign he
did not take more of an active part
| was not his fault 1t was we'll known
over the state that he was ever ready
and willing to go out and battle for
the good of the cause and the election
of the ticket, had the managers OF
the campaign ever called for him.
Does not the same in greater or
less degree apply to practically all the
men that a few today denounce as in
surgents
When the battle royal, the cam
paign of 1900 was fought, who were
the men that directed and won that
fight? Was it not Gamble, Elliott,
Hall, Holman, and dozens of that
very class that were always in the
midst of the fight, covering every
school district in the state and carry
ing every thing before them.
Dakota farmers' leader. (Canton, S.D.) 1890-19??, 1906-03-02

Again in the campaigns of 1902 and
1904, where was Gamble, Hall and
the others? Did Gamble not make
splendid canvass covering the entire
state, and was his work and his teach
ingS not in Il great measure reSpOn-
sible for the great success achieved?
Today some men class them and
denounce them as insurgents.
BY what right or authority are they
doing it? Must anyone that aspires
to office have the O. X. of a few
stamped upon him first, before he
dares togo before the republicans and
ask their sutfrages?
We republicans of the rank and file
have quietly and loyalty followed the
lead believing that harmony and good
will toward each other was prevalent
among them. and that all men engag-
ed in the work of carrying out the
behest of the party and assist in the
upbuilding of the same-we were and
are satisfied with the conditions as
they existed and expected that the
men intrusted with the affairs of the
party would keep their hands eff and
not use the power placed with them
to the downfall of our trusted men
and the weakening of the party: we
accepted leadership and are willing
to continue so long as this leadership
does not become dictatorial and the
power vested not abused to further
the selfish interest of the favored few
and individual. Do this and from
engaged therein and the republicans
of the state will take the power from
you as quick as they intrusted you
Herewith.
Remember Pettigrew. No man is
superior to his party, no matter what
hold he many have thereon. Office
holders can never be our dictatOrS,
neither influence of creatures OF
law long defy the wishes of the
people.
1t was Gamble, the weakling as you
are now in the habit of denOuncing
him, that caused Pettigrew's down
fall in 1900, it was Gamble that was
elected by the republican Legislature
TO the United States Senate four
years, ago, in spite Of the opposition
and the underhanded work against
him by Messrs. Kittredge, Burke,
johnson, Hunter, Williams, Mcleod
Kennedy. Crane. Continue in the at
tempt and you will find that the grave
you are trying to dig for him will tind
you all laying therein when the re-
publicans of the state have spoken,
We need no master to be supreme

An electric line from Montpelier,
