Too EarIv TESTING.

AS a consequence Of the last poor
corn year thousands of farmers who
have never tested their seed corn are
probably doing so for the next crop.
And there is a very natural result to
be feared-namely. that Of testing too
early in the season. This very early
testing is by no ear SURF to prove
satisfactory. for. IS ar exchange sug-
gests. it frequently happens that corr
will give a high percentage germina-
ton in the middle of winter. while the
same seed if kept two months longer
may have its vitality greatly impaired.
Where corn is placed so hat it cannot
be frozen there is less danger of this
happening, but even then better results
will be obtained if seed testing is left
until some time during the early spring
days.
We have in mind an instance where
good dry oats gave 10 per cent better
termination in the middle Of January
than they did on the 1st Of April. All
seedsmen will tell you that they find it
necessary to retest seeds in the spring
that have been tested during the win
ter in order to make SURE Of their vital

AN AMAZING DOCUMENT.
Howard GouId's Reply to Wife's Suit
for Divorce.

New York, April S.-Howard Gould's
answer to the suit of his wife, Kath.
crime Clemmons Gould, for a separa.
ton and alimony, which has been filed
in the supreme court, forms the most
amazing document that ever has fig.
ured in a divorce trial in New York
city.
For the first time the name of Dus.
tin Farnum, actor, is brought forward.
In addition Mr.. Gould says his wife
was grossly intoxicated at many pub
lie places on many occasions; that she
consumed daily enough mixed drinks
to put several strong men out of bust
ness; that at theaters, restaurants and
hotels she repeatedly behaved in a
scandalous manner while under the
influence of cocktails, highballs and
champagne; that she once broke up a
fashionable card party by biting her
hostess on the arm and that she
shocked a wedding party at st.
Thomas church by announcing that
she saw "many old cats" present.
Mr.. Gould's lawyers accused Kath-
crime Clemmons Gould, the former
actress, with having secretly met Far
NUN in the summer of 1906, with fol-
lowing him through New England,
with accompanying him to his rooms
and with touring with him about New
York and Brooklyn in her automobile
and with taking him to the Hotel st.
Regis, where she then lived.

JAPs MUCH INTERESTED.
Americas Stand Regarding Manchu
ria variousIy Interpreted.

Toxic, April 8.-Negotiations be.
tween America and Russia concerning
the administration of affairs at Har.
bin are being closely watched by ia.
pan. The alarmist newspapers sug-
gest Japanese administration of South
Manchuria as the real object of Amer
lean action. The sensationalists con
meet the coming of the American fleet
with possible future representations
concerning South Manchuria.
A Washington special says the gov
eminent has decided to oppose the
action of Russia and Japan in Man
churia. A dispatch from Hardin
quotes Consul Fisher as saying that
the American government on its own
initiative demands the abandonment
of Japan's present status in Manchu-
ria. These kilograms have aroused
much comment. The Japanese foreign
office, however, refuses to accept the
sensationalist view and said to the
Associated Press that 1t Is not pre-
pared to believe that the American
government is opposed to Japan's
present attitude in South Manchuria.
It is believed here that the report
quoting the Washington officials is not
founded in fact and is circulated for
the purpose CT creating q fresh cause
Of i'll feeling.

"say, ledge, hain't that purity steep?'

"No," was the reply. "You know you

and ought to have been here. I will
suspend payment, however, and hold
