BRONCHIAL TROUBLES.
Readily Yield to Soothing, Healing
Treatment of Hyomei

Bronchial troubles are purely local.
They cannot be helped by stomach dos
ing. They are caused by irritation in
the air passages and can be relieved
and cured by medicated air alone. In
this lies the secret OF the great success
of Hy-o-mei in the treatment OF
bronchial troubles.
The first breath OF Hy-o-mei's medi-
Gated air soothes the Inflammation, ,
stops the cough, and relief soon be-
comes permanent and cure lesalts.
Hy-o-mei has made many femark-
able cures IN the worst and most chronic

The passenger traffic departments
of the Minnesota railroads are very
busy just now figuring out new dist
ance tariff rates for the accommOda-
tion of the public. Since the passage
of the 2-cent rate law it has been i'm
possible for any person to purchase
a ticket farther than the terminal
points, where baggage must be re-
checked and new tickets bought. For
instance, if a passenger desires to go
to Chicago, now: he can only buy a
ticket and check his baggage as far
as st. Paul. where new ticket and
check must be secured. And so all
along the line. The new law took ef-
feet so quickly after it's passage that
the roads had but little time to adjust
themselves to new conditions. 1t is
expected that by the first of July
things will be in shape so that
through tickets can be bought to any
point. At that time the new rate law
in North Dakota takes effect. A. L.
Craig, passenger traffic manager of
the Great Northern, is authority for
the statement that the roads are work
ing this problem out as rapidly as
nOssible.

A common four-legged calf, which
must have been craving welsh rab-

gestible food, has eaten the tails off
eight valuable horses owned by Floyd
Houseman, a ranchman living near
Brentford.
Houseman says he does not know
how long it required to satisfy the alb.
normal appetite Of the calf, but says
that when he went out to halter three
of his horses, for which he had lust
received an offer Of $125 head, he
found them shorn OF their beautiful
caudal appendages, and upon investi.
cation discovered FIVE other animals
had suffered the same damaging prun,

not take kindly to his removal from
the state soldiers home board by
Gov. Crawford, who recently appoint
ed another man in his place on the
board. De Jean was appointed to the
board two years ago by Gov. Elrod
for term Of six years. Gov. Craw-
ford appointed another man in his
place on the ground that De Jeans
appointment by Gov. Elrod had not
been confirmed by the legislature.
De Jean has been informed that his
appointment did not require confirma-
ton, and that he can hold the Office
for the full term Of six years. Mr.. De
Jean is quoted as saying that he is
looking the matter up, and if it de-
velops that Gov. Crawford canned
him without authority for so doing
the governor will have an opportunity
to explain his action in court.

METHOD FOR TESTING SEED CORN
South Dakota Experiment Station Gives Full
Way IN Which Little Time Can Be Spent TO
Better Advantage.

The South Dakota Agricultural Elk.
pertinent station has sent out direc-
tons for testing each ear of seed
corn as follows:
Prepare box as large as may be
convenient for your use and about
two and one-half or three inches deep.
In this box you may use sand. dirt.
sawdust or any convenient medium,
but sawdust is by far the most salts
factory article for the purpose. If
sawdust is used do not attempt to
fill the box and then wet it, but put
the sawdust in a sack, soak 1t In
boiler OF warm water and then drain
1t. Fill the box with this warm, moist
sawdust and lamp it down solidly
with a brick or piece of two-by-four
until the box is filed within half an
inch Of the top.
Lay over the sawdust a white cloth
ruled with lead pencil into squares
an inch and half on a side. Num-
Der these squares in some regular or
der. Now lay the ears which you
intend to test in a row on the floor
or on board, driving a nail between
each ten ears and numbering the
first, the tenth. the twentieth and so
on. Or it you haven't convenient
place to lay the corn out where it
won't be disturbed, number each ear
on small square of paper fastened
to the butt Of the ear with nail.
Take the first ear, ear No. 1, in
your LEFT hand and with jack knife
in your right hand take one kernel
from each side of the ear near the
butt, turn the ear quarter Of the way
around and take one kernel from
each side near the middle, turn the
ear q quarter of the way again and
take kernel from each side near the
tip. This gives you six kernels which
represent all parts of the ears Put
the six kernels from ear No. 1 in
square No. /. In the same way take
six kernels from ear No. 2 and place
them in square No. 2 and continue
until the box is filled. If the kernels
are placed in the box with the germ
or hollow side up, the test will be
more satisfactory.
When the box is full lay over the
kernels a second piece of cloth. Now
spread over it all a piece of cheap
cloth about twice as wide and little
longer than the box. Put on this
enough of the moist sawdust to finish
filling the box, fold over the sides and
ends of the cloth. put on cover to

prevent drying and to make box con-
venient to handle, put strap around
the box and set it away where it is
warm enough to sprout corn. The
temperature Of a living room that
does not freeze nights is sufficient for
the purpose.
Let 1t stand about six days or until
the sprouts are about an inch long,
then open up the box and study the
termination of each ear. If every
kernel has started but has produced
shoots smaller and weaker than
those from other ears throw away
the ear. Remember the conditions in
the field will not be as perfect as the
conditions which you have provided
in the termination box, and that the
stronger the termination of kernel
the better Is its chance of making a
strong productive plant.
A box fifteen inches wide by thirty
inches long, such as may be made
from a piece Of sixteen-inch board
and bat will Hest about 200 ears,
about a bushel and a half Of corn, at
one filling. The amount Of time re-
CURED to make the test is not as
great as you may think before trying
it. There is no way in which you
can spend a little time to better ad-
vantage than in testing every ear of
corn that you intend to plant. 1t is
especially important this year, as it
may be the only way in which you
can get seed corn that will grow and
that is adapted to your conditions of
soil and season.

THROWS OUT PHONES.
Brown County and City of Aberdeen

Brown County and City of Aberdeen
in Clash.
The board of county commissioners
of Brown county has passed resolu-
ton throwing out of the court house
and other county buildings Dakota
Central telephones until the city Of
Aberdeen gives consent for the adj
mission of farmers lines into the city
and to the court house.
The action is the result of bitter
war waged for some time between the
city Of Aberdeen and the Dakota Cen
trail on one side and the Groton-Fer
ney Telephone company, farmers
line, on the other hand. The latter
company has been endeavoring for
some time to gain admission to the
city so that 1t can establish toll sta
ton and connect with. the court
house. After dickering for some time,
until the fight has created two fac
tions in the county, the city council
recently passed resolution to admit
the Groton-Ferney company, as re-
quested, but under certain restrictions
which would place that company's
existence in the city entirely in the
hands of the council. This the com
pany rejected. The next step was
that taken by the county board.
The citizens and business men will
have to take its Instruments, and two
systems viii thus be in the city, where
no more than one is necessary The
country towns, it is reported, are car
rying on a boycott of Aberdeen job
bers, and the farmers will not buy
goods from here as a result Of the
fight.
