condition OF our seed corn.
The time is at hand when each farm
er should look well to the condition OF
his seed corn before the rush of spring
work begins. a few hours spent now in
testing the termination of individual
seed ears may mean the prevention of
the loss of many dollars and much
time, says press bulletin of the Ohio
Experiment Station. Testing a sample
of bulk seed after Smelling and mixing
is of little value, for one is then pow
erlesS 10 improve the quality of his
seed by the rejection of the ears of
low termination. He simply has to
discard all or none, and generally does
the latter. BY testing each ear in such
a way that one knows exactly how
each ear behaves. the worthless ears
can be rejected and the quality of the
seed greatly improved. While the
termination test is not substitute
for the ear-row corn test. since ears
which show equally good termination
frequently vary widely in their ability
to yield, yet il is of great value ID
that it Will weed out ears more or less
injured as result either of too late
gathering of seed, or of lack OF proper
care in drying out, or both, and this will
pay any corn grower many times over
for the labor involved
The experiment station does not be
lieve in doing for the farmer what he
can do for himself as well, or perhaps
better. and hence it does not contem-
plate making an individual ear germin-
alton test for him, but will be glad
TO send full instructions for making
the termination box and test, to such
as apply.
In addition to this, the station would
like to study. both in the termination
box and in the field, as many samples
as possible Of the seed corn that is to
be planted in Ohio this spring. To all
who care TO assist in this matter full
instructions for sampling and shipping
seed samples will be sent

Nitro Culture and InOcuIaticn.
Two series of pot cultures carried out
during the winter and spring of 19H-3
and the fall of 1905 are reported in
Texas bulletin.
I'm the first series the object was to
determine whether nodules will appear
on the roots of alfalfa when this plant
is grown in such soils where none had
ever before been cultivated, but which
produced fine growth of bur Glove
(MeG!cago denticuata), and, further,
whether the nodules already present on
the roots of bur clover could be car
ried over to alfalfa when grown in soil
that had previously been sterilized; in
short. whether artificial inocculation of
alfalfa with the germs from bur clover
is feasible In the second series the
question was TO determine the value, If
any, OF the S0-calleu nlfO-cuiture anu
other like cultures.
4 variety of soils was used in the
first series, and the method of proce-
dure was much the same in the two
series of experiments. The first series
showed in brief that alfalfa will be-
come infected with the tubercle-form-
ing organism (a) when grown in soil
which has produced a crop of bur clio
yer, OBJ after being watered with a
solution of such soil, and (c) by means
of an infusion of the root nodules of
bur clover. The results of the second
series Of experiments indicate that in
oculation with nitro-culture is of doubt
full value ''since only a small proper
ton of the plants treated developed
tuberclps and these were in no OBJ
servable degree benefited by their pres
ence. In no case of artificial inocu-
latiOn were the number and vigor OF
the tubercles so great as in that occur
ring by natural means"

TO CONSTRUCT BULKHEAD
Council Would Assess District to
Meet Contingency

Considerable discussion arose when
the matter of creating an assessment
district for the construction of the
bulkhead along Mill creek from Clin-
ton to Green streets came before the
council last night.
1t was pointed out by COuncilmar
Glasford that the council had no def
mite idea of just where it would have
the wayward waters of the creek to
run. The seeming necessity for the
cOuncilmen to know whereof they
spoke before legislating upon the
course of even a creek was further
pointed out 1t was finally agreed that
the council in a body should inspect
the creek and ascertain the assistance
it's banks can lend the undertaking.
The councilmen agreed to rally at
the Clinton street bridge at s O'Clock
Friday morning and to walk from
there to the point of interest. Sew
eral intimated they could be induced
to ride but were Immediately 81!

The wheat is hoisted by a gasoline
engine. 1t can be piled with this ma
chine as high and snugly as by hand.
1t can pile 8 sacks per minute.
Mr.. McGahey's sack piler is being
warmly accepted by grain men. He
now has an order for 100 of the ma
chimes to fill.
1t is understood the Fairbanks Morse
company holds some kind of a con-
tract for the manufacture of. the ma
chine, the machines now being turned
out by the Severence- -BrOughtOn COM
pany being under a reserve contract
Mr.. McGahey is now working on
an invention which he states will be
a great labor saver in handling sacks
from a combined harvester. This ma
chine he expects will be very popular
when completed as it is difficult to find
men who will work long at the stren-
uous labor of Juggling the heavy wheat
sacks. Last year it was nearly i'm
possible to find men for this work at
even $3.50 per day in some localities.

The ordinance providing license of
$4,000 per years for junk shops came
up before the council again last night,
but met with no support and much
opposition.
After Councilman Glasford had ex-
pressed his opinion that junk dealers
were no more liable to special license
than any other merchant, the ordi-
nance after having been given its
third and final reading was held over
pending a written opinion from the
city attorney.
The report of the Commercial club
upon the grading of the sidewalks OF
the city was brought up last night but
little interest was shown in it by the
council 1t was referred to the street
committee without discussion.
Residents of the southwestern part
of the city are to have the sidewalks
which they petitioned for some time
ago, the ordinance providing for four
foot concrete, brick, asphalt or btu
lithic walks having been passed at
yesterday evenings meeting. The ter
ritory within which the walks will be
allowed is bounded by Birch street on
the north Ninth street on the east
and the city boundaries on the south
and west. No four-foot wooden walks
according to the provisions of the or
dinance. will be permitted in any part
of the city One of the main reasons
why property owners of this part of
the city desire the brick walks is In

SCHWARz GETS BACK
HARD AT CITY COUNCIL

He who laughs last. laughs best.
and we are all wondering whether 1t
will be Schwartz or the city.
A raise of SIS per month in the rent
of the building occupied by the city
engineer and treasurer's office is the
latest move of Schwarz. 1t was sprung
on the unsuspecting councilmen last
night with a result much similar to
the explosion of first-class Russian
bomb
Following the reading of the 1nfor-
nation. death-lille silence pervaded
the council chambers broken only by
audible gasps Several of the council
men started to say something. Kirk
man was the first to articulate. With
words loaded with meaning, the Wor-
thy councilman suggested the city at
torney be instructed to investigate the
legality of Mr.. Schwarz' act. The at
torney's answer will be filed with the
council next Tuesday evening.

SPOKANE'S COAL FAMINE
Railroads Short Of Fuel and Issue
Timely Warning

SPOKANE, June 19.-That the ..
R. & N. and the Spokane & Inland
companies are short of coal Is de-
monstrated by the fact that both
roads placed cars in the yards of the
Union Fuel and Ice company yester-
day morning. The Spokane & Inland
placed five cars and the o. r. & N.
four. The latter road is said to be
particularly hard up for coal. The
fuel company was able to supply the
Inland company but not the 0. r. &
n. The coal which the two companies
were in competition to secure was do
mestic and not steam. 1t is very diff
ficult for the railroads, it is said, to
secure sufficient coal to keep up traf-
fic.
Two of the biggest western mines in
the Puget Sound district are said TO
be on fire and the remainder are not
producing heavily because it has been
found necessary to do development
work which was neglected during the
famine of last winter. Steamers COM

appears that the mutiny here of the
Black sea fleet, consisting of eight
battleships, cruisers and a division OF
torpedo boats, whose crews in all
number 5000 men, was only discovered
just in time to prevent the planned

here June II for target practice and
had just entered Odessa bay when Ad-

back to Sebastopol, where, after
troops had been sent on board the
warships, several hundred sailors
were disembarked and imprisoned.

Prospects for banner crop are fine,
says Professor Lyman. Wheat stands
about shoulder high and is of a. fine
color The grain is not as backward
as one would expect from the late sea-
son. although it is somewhat retarded.
The cool spring has done wonders for
the wheat and unless hot winds inter-
fere there will be the largest crop OF
years Grain is we'll headed but is not
entirely filled yet. Fail wheat is al
most past the critical stage but spring
wheat must have favorable conditions
for some time yet.
Harvest will begin about the Fourth

grain will not be ready until about
three weeks later.

MAN OWNING BATH
TUB HAS GRIEVANCE

Must a man pay special tax just
because he owns a bathtub?
Such was the substance of a ques-
ton prOpOunded to the city council by
Perry L. Hatcher of SAT Locust street,
at the regular sitting of the city
fathers last night.
In a complaint of overcharge for
water rent, Perry explained to the
council that though his neighbors were
paying only $2.75 per month for use
of water on lots so by 125, he was
charged 1925 on a lot of equal size.
Mr. Hatcher has lived at the above
address for the past three years but
only until recently has the water de-
partment made him a favorite as re-
CARDS large bills
The extra charge commenced just
after | put in a bath tub, so the rea-
son for it is very plain" said Perry.
upon being intelrogated by Mayor
Kellough as to possible cause for
such favoritism..
Further inquiries into the case were
made by Councilman Glasford, when
the question of the bath tub and extra
charge were reft rred to the water COM
mittee.
