GOOD SEED CORN.
Some of the Important Points by
Which 1t May Be Known.

Some of the more important OBJ,
~servations to be made in the selection
of seeds are: Yield, quality, uniform
ity, hardness, time of ripening, free.
dom from attacks of smut and rust,
and, in the case of small grain, the
stiffness of the straw.
The corn crop requires, perhaps, as
great care in the selection as any
other, and merits special attention,
says the Prairie Farmer. The rapid
improvement that has been made in
this crop, combined with the readi-
ness with which the different varieties
cross and mix, renders it extremely
subject to variation. Constant care
is necessary in order to establish the
desirable qualities that are brought
out in these variations and to more
thoroughly eradicate those not desir-
able.
Some of the points to be observed
in the selection of seed corr are:
i. The size and shape of ear; ear
should approach as n~earlyeas may be
a uniform diameter from end to
end.
2. Size and quality of cob, a me
dunn sized cob being much better
than a large, spongy one.
3. Depth of grain.
4. Shape of grain; grains should
carry their wedge shape uniformly to
the end, so that the ear may present
as nearly as possible a solid surface.
5. Covering of cob; cob should be
as completely and evenly covered as
possible at both ends.
6. Hardness of grain, too hard and
finty a grain not being readily mas
ticated and digested. A hard grain,
also, is more liable to be a shallow
one.
7. Grains Of even, uniform size and
similar shape, to make possible uni
formity Of planting.
8. Color Of grain, purity of color
indicating purity of the corn.

Hunters MauIed by Lioness.

A fight between two hunters and In
Infatuated lioness is reported from
British East Africa.
Messrs. Lucas and Goldfnch left
Nairobi on a shooting expedition, and
when five miles from the town the
lioness was observed.
While the men stood at the edge Of
the thicket the brute bounced on Mr..
Goldfnch and threw him to the
ground. 1t bit him on the thigh be-
fore Mr.. Lucas lodged a bullet in its
neck.
Maddened by the wound, the ami
nal turned its attention to Mr.. Lucas,
whose horse it felled and then pinned
the rider to the ground, inficting lac
erations on his face and biting his
right arm. He was saved by Mr..
G%oldfinch, who, sitting up, rolled the
lioness owe with a well-aimed shot.
The beast was about to spring on
its victim again when another dis
charge from the same weapon proved
fatal. The wounded men were taken
back to town, where they received
medical aid.

Wei, ARRANGED Fields.

The shape of the fields into which
the farm Is divided will have much to
do with the utility Of the farm. In
some sections Of the country the fields
are still divided in a very awkward
manner, especially in those sections
where stone walls arc common. The
present divisions are arbitrary and
have been handed down from past
years. The reasons that gave rise to
the divisions at first have long since
ceased to exist. When the land was
cleared little by little it was neces-
sary to fence in the cleared portions.
There is, however, no need of contin.
uing the old arrangements after the
conditions have changed

P~racticed What He Preached.

Rev. Denis P. O'Flynn, of New York
city, used to say that priests ought to
die poor and he practiced what he
preached. Aside from a valuable IL
brary given to the Paulist fathers he
has left no discoverable estate-no
money in bank, no money in the rec
tory. "He died as poor as the proverb-
ial church mouse" says his assistant,
Father Corrigan. "What little insur-
ance he carried will barely cover the
funeral expenses. He never saved q
penny for himself. After keeping the
house on his meager salary he gave
away all he had"

he was surprised that I had continued

I was confined to my bed for nearly
two months, the doctor coming every
day for the first few weeks, but I did not
improve to amount to anything. Al

cheapens Cost of LIQUID Air.

A Dane named Knudson is credited
with discovering means Of producing
liquid air at the cost of no more than
one-sixth the usual price, and it is said
that his process, which is mechanical
rather than chemical, will ultimately
put liquid air on the market at not
more than about two cents a gallon.
The same invention makes it possible
to sell oxygen at a cent a cubic foot,
which promises to bring it into rather
wide industrial use.

PREMIUM ON LYNCHING.

Colonel ]. N. English, member of
the staff of the governor of Georgia,
editor of the Atlanta Evening News,
recently INDUCED in something only
about foot this side of anarchy. He
wrote an editorial commencing lynch
ing and offering a. reward for lynch
ing. His effusion was alluded to brief
ly in the dispatches received by The
Journal. The complete editorial taken
from the columns of the Atlanta News
of the date of publication is as follows:
"Hurrah for South Carolina. Three
cheers and tiger for the brave men
of that state. They have indicated
the honor of at least one community
in Carolina, even in the presence of
the governor of the state. They have
done their duty and done it well.
"a black brute whom the state exc
cutive appropriately called "a devil
and a fiend of hell" who perpetrated
the most infamous crime above a
burning hell-that of assaulting a de-
fenseless white girl-went to his fate
and doom at the hands of a public
court of patriotic citizens and today
South Carolina stands at the foremost
OF southern patriotism. Tomorrow
Georgia may lay claim the honor.
Those Carolina men upheld the honor
and tradition of the great state"
The News then offered $1,000 for
lynching in Atlanta for a similar
crime, and says:
-Four white women have recently
been outraged in Atlanta by negroes,
and but two of the assailants were
caught Two out of the four black
devils escaped and are still at large,
roaming Wherever they will, to attack
and outrage other white women whom
they may find in their path. Shall
brutes in human form be allowed to
kill and devour the womanhood of
this neighborhood?
The Journal is not altogether unfa-
miliar with conditions in the southern
states with respect to the terrible
crimes committed by black men, who
are more of the animal than the man.
