a PROPHECY.

we may philosophize. sermonize and

that the questions confronting this great

will never be finally settled until they
are settled according to the simple laws
of the NazareEe4 And this is our

The Richest DTexican-

Pedro Alverado, advertised as the
peon millionaire of Mexico, who offer
ed to pay the national debt, has been
grossly caricatured by some of the
newspapers. said D. NJ Evans. an
American miner of Parral, Chihuahua,
Mexico.
'.senor Alverado is not a peon and
he never offered to pay the Mexican
national debt, although he is prObab-
~ financially able to do so. The Pal
milla mine. which is probably the
richest in the world said Mr.. Evans,
has been owned and operated by the
AlVareoo family for more than two
hundred years. When Pedro AIverado
took over the mine his forefathers had
almost succeeded in removing the COW
ering to the incalculable riches of the
NINE After a few years work, when
Pedro opened up the rich veins, it was
announced to the world that a peon
had suddenly struck it rich.
THE manner in which a part of the
American press has treated Alverado
has served to make him very bitter
against all people from the United
having sSthousand clocks and fifteen
or twenty pianos in his house and of
decorating his person with gold and
Jewels As matter Of fact, Alverado
IS an exceedingly refined gentleman,
the richest man in Mexico.
THE PalmiIlo mine, of which he is
sole owner, returns Alverado an in
come of more than $1,500000 a year.
Operated by Americans, it would pro-
duce S20,000,000 a year. Only one
American besides myself has ever been
permitted to enter the mine. That was
when DR.. Kfefer, of the Lehigh univer-
sity, was sent there to gather statistics
on the mineral resources of Mexico
and secured for him admission to the
Palmllla. - Washington Post.

THE SEED
CORN TEST

is probably no felu of agri-
cultural effort which is just now re-
ceiving a greater measure of attention
than that having TO do with the select
ing and testing of seed corn. For
weeks past the seed corn gospel trains
have been making their trips through
the corn belt of the central western
states, giving to hundreds and thou
sands of farmers the salient points on
this very important subject. Professor
Holden of the Iowa State Agricultural
college, who is the originator of the
corn gospel idea, is experimenting one
Of these trains. For the benefit of those
who may not be able TO take advantage
of the lectures given by these corn eX-
perts we give below condensed de-
scription of this method of testing
corn:
The most practical way for testing
the termination of each ear is by using
termination box. This is a simple
affair and can be made by any one in
an hours time. Any box about six
inches deep and by feet in size may
be used Fill the box about half full
of moist sand, dirt or sawdust, well
pressed down, 50 that II will leave Il
smooth, even surface. In case saw
dust is used it should be put in gun
ny sack and set in tub of warm wa
ter for half an hour, so that it will he
thoroughly moistened before using.
Take white cloth about the size of the
box and rule it of checkerbOard fash
ion one and half inches each way.
Number the checks l, .. 3, and so on,
and place il over the sawdust and tack
TO the box at the corners and edges.
Lay out the ears to be tested side by
side on the floor; remove one kernel
from near the butt, middle and tip OF
the ear; turn the ear over and remove
three kernels from the opposite side, in
like manner making six kernels in all,
thus securing sample from the entire
ear. Place the six kernels at the end
OF the ear from which they We're taken.
Use care that the kernels do not get
mixed with the kernels from the ear
next TO ii. After the kernels are re-
moved boards may be laid over the
rows of corn to keep them in place
until the termination Is known Place
the kernels from ear OF corn No. ia
square No l OF the termination box,
from ear No. . in square No. ., and 80
ON with all the ears Then place over
this cloth considerably larger than
the box; cover with about two inches of
moist sand, dirt or sawdust and keep In
warm place so that it win not freeze
The sitting room will perhaps be the
most suitable place. The kernels will
germlnate In four TO six days. Then
remove the cover carefully 10 avoid
lnisplaeing the kernels Ia the squares.
"a piece OF thin cloth placed over the
kernels before the covering Is put on
will prevent the kernels from sticking

nels In the termination box. For ex-

HOG CHOLERA
PREVENTATIVE

Leading farmers in county In :
western state claim that the hog
cholera plague has been practically
and effectually stamped out in the fol-
lowing very simple manner. Inasmuch
as the plan is an inexpensive one, in
volving no outlay for high priced medi-
cines or veterinary attendance, we give
it for what it is worth. 1t Is well
known fact that the ordinary proce-
dure when cholera breaks out In drove
of hogs is to take the infected animals
out of the pen or lot in which the drove
has been quartered. The plan under
discussion is Il reversal of the common
practice--provides for the removal Of
the well hogs TO entirely new quarters
In view of the fact that veterinarians
are well agreed that the disease
spreads through infection. well ami
mails becoming contaminated by the
saliva, sputum and eXcreta OF infected
animals, the method of prevention
suggested would seem to have much
to commend it along the line Of sound
that If uninfccted hogs are left in n
lot or pen in which the disease has ap-
peared they are exposed to the great
est possible danger of contamination.
We should be pleased to have any
readers of these notes who may have
tried this plan to report on the meas
ure of success which has attended It,
