Good money can be made during the spare hours of the next two or three months cleaning up the seed that is to be used next spring. AS a rule seed that is of weak vitality is also light in weight, so that putting it through a flaming mill with a good blast of air on will separate the plump from the shrunken kernels. At the same time weed seed and litter of any kind will be separated from the grain that is in- tended for seed.

Stole Blind Mans Doq.

Warren, O., Jan. 15.-The meanest man in Warren turned his meanest trick here. John Tompkins, blind and dependent on others to guide him about the city, was robbed of a collie dog he had just succeeded in training to lead him. The door of the shed in which the dog was housed was broken open and the dog stolen.

The sons of the Prince and Princess If Wales have been taught to knit. While from the American standpoint this may seem a trife old fogyish, there Is little question that whole lot of American boys would be better off if more of their time were spent in this occupation and less with yellow backed novels and cigarettes.

During the winter months, when the ordinary sources of green food are unavailable, the flock of chickens will greatly relish clover hulls or leaves either dry or soaked for a short time in warm water. A frequent feed of this, coupled with a head of cabbage hung up within reach, with now and then a feed of chopped onions, will not only be greatly relished, but will tend to materially increase the production of eggs.

The other day we noted the case of a man who agreed to pay his wife 25 cents each day that she would walk a mile. She had been in none too good health and was somewhat in doubt whether she would be equal to the task. However, she persevered, with the result that she seldom thereafter knew a sick day, while her husband gave her less for keeping her bargain than he had previously paid out for doctors bills.

Farm animals seem to know in- stinctively which foods have the most nutritive value and will do the most for them when digested and assimi- lated. This is why they prefer bright hay to musty and why they will eat al- falfa and clover hay in preference to timothy or wild hay. The same thing Is shown in the greediness which is ex- hibited by poultry for clover hulls and green food.

Efforts at economy are only justifl- able when the saving effected more than offsets the time spent in attempt. Along this line we seriously question whether the good housewife is justi- fled in saving the cotton cord which comes into the house on different pack ages and winding it into d neat ball or in cooking some things she does to keep them from spelling.

An eastern student of plant life has lately made the statement that this ties and rape seem to be antagonistic to each other and that the former will die out where the latter plant gains a foothold in the soil. There Is a sug- gestion here for the farmer whose fields are overrun with thistles. The same authority asserts that a like an- tagonism exists between the rose and the mignonette, the former not thriv- ing near beds of the latter

There is likelihood that parents are to some extent at fault if their children would rather spend their evenings any where else than at home. The home should be the best and most interest ing place in all the world, and parents should realize more than they do the importance of making it so.

The grinding of corn increases its feeding value per cent. This means that if it is worth 25 cents per bushel it's value is increased a cent and half; :; if worth 90 cents, 3 cents. Whether one is justified in grinding would de- pend upon the price of corn and the cost per bushel of doing 1t.

During the present year durum wheat has been raised in the United States of an estimated value of $3o;O00,OOO What this means is the more fully understood in view of the fact that a large per cent of it was raised on semiarid land that only in rare years can be counted upon to produce a crop of the ordinary varieties of wheat This variety of wheat-durum or mac aroni-was introduced into this coun. try eight or nine years ago by the de pertinent of agriculture at an initial cost of some $10,000, the wisdom of the expenditure of which time has proved most fully.

Many do not seem to realize that soft or hard coal ashes have absolute ly no fertilizing value and, should not be scattered on the garden with view to being plowed under. However, the same is not true of wood ashes, which contain considerable percentages of fertilizers. These latter should be thrown on the compost heap OF scat tered at once on the garden, where the goodness they contain will leach into the ground, where it will do some good.

THAW LET'S BAR DOWN
Valves Right of Secrecy Be- tween Nurse and Patient.
SPEAKS PUBLICLY IN COURT

Nurse at Monte Carlo and Boyhood
 Tutor Swear That Stanford Whites
 Slayer Was lrrational-Doctor Tells
 of Insanity of Relatives.
 New York, Jan. 15.-In open court Harry k. Thaw took active part in his trial by formally waiving his rights to secrecy between himself and Mrs Amy Gossette, a nurse, testifyin2 g of what she terms his irrational acts'' while he was ill in Monte Carlo. This was the first time since the shooting of MT. White that Thaw has spoken for himself at any court proceedings.
 Mrs. Gossette was testifying ill cor roboration of the assertion of the de fense that Thaw was insane until the time of the shooting. While Thaw was i'll in Monte Carlo she nursed him, hay ing been sent to him by Dr. Price Mitchell
 Professional Ethics Involved.
 The woman's testimony was not al- lowed at first because of an objection by the district attorney, who protested that the law did not permit physician 'or nurse to testify as to the condition of patient unless the latter gave per mission in open court.
 Martin w. Littleton, chief counsel for Thaw, at first hesitated at allow ing his client to waive his rights and tried in every way to bring out the tes- timony without having to compel Thaw to speak for himself Finally, apparently deeming the testimony i'm portant to his client and seeing no other way out of it, Mir. Littleton con- scented to the proceedings. He refused however, to ask the question of Thaw himself, but instead permitted the court to do so. -.-'&.
 Upon being asked by the court whether he desired to consent to the nurses testifying Thaw arose from his seat and said in tones so low that he could hardly be heard by persons seat ed around him:

A nearby feeder In speaking of his hog raising operations in the hearing of the writer the other day attributed the absence of hog cholera in his flock during the past sixteen years largely to the fact that ill the fall and early winter, when great many farmers stuff their shoats with soft and imma- ture corn, he gave his but very limited quantities, it being his theory that growing pigs need and, should have but small quantities of corn. When used to the ration and being prepared for market larger quantities of ma ture corn may be fed without danger.

The spineless cactus, one of the mar velous plant creations of Luther Bur bank, gives promise of being an in valuable boon to the arid sections of several of the southwestern states, where today, except under irrigation, little but sagebrush and cactus will grow. This new creation is free from the stiff, sharp spines which in the na- tive species prevent Its being devoured by grazing animals and render 1t not only useless, but a positive nuisance and source of danger to both man and beast. The spineless variety seems to be entirely hardy and at the same time possesses the succulent and nutritive qualities of its bristly ancestor. While sufficient time has not yet elapsed to determine to what extent 1t will dis place the native variety, there Is little question that this will be the case where 1t is given a little assistance.

The season of the farmers institute Is now on, and, while the success of such meetings depends to quite an eX tent upon the character of outside tal- ent secured, 1t depends to an even larger extent upon such handling of the various topics to be considered as will permit a free and informal discus sion of the various points of interest by the laymen-the farmers who come from the surrounding territory to at- tend the institute sessions. While one of these sanfe fellows might be much embarrassed and fuddled if put on the printed programme, he may in an in- formal discussion in which he forgets himself let drop more practical and helpful suggestions than the high priced imported speaker It should be the aim of those having discussions in charge to bring out just as many as possible of these bashful laymen. All too many professional institute speak CTS arc glib of tongue and fluent in speech and feel that they have earned their money If they have killed the time allotted to them. In many cases they trespass on the time of those who have something to say that is of much more practical value.

Family Skeleton Barred.

Dr. John T. Deemar, now of Kit tanning, Pa, and who for years was the Thaw family physician, told of treating Thaw as a boy for St. Vitus' dance and said that Henry W. Copley, a brother of the prisoners mother, died an imBecile. pr. Deemar also declar- ed that John Ross, a maternal co$'in of Thaw, now in the Hope Institution For Feeble Minded, was suffering from a maniacal affiictiOn.

From Madhouses.

They proved that ancestors on both the prisoners maternal and paternal sides showed signs of insanity and that several of them were inmates of asylums.
 MT. Jerome in his cross examination of the witnesses for the defense was aggressive and sometimes even fought the witnesses on their own testimony in an attempt to make them appear in credible in the eyes of the jury.
 Considerable amusement was caused by Mr. Jerome's cross examination of Professor c. A. Koehler of WinOna, Minn-, a tutor, who was at an acade- my in Wooster, O., when Thaw was a pupil. The instructor said he had on several occasions publicly referred to Thaw as the horrible example,
 MT. Jerome brought out that Koehler was a church member, and at the time he so referred to Thaw he be- / lieved him irrational When asked to explain how he reconciled the illus tration of boy he considered men- tally unsound as a warning to others the instructor became painfully con- fused.

Jerome Scores Repeatedly.

Then he fell back into his seat, and his nurse related in detail the actions of the defendant Aand his appearance while in Monte Carlo, all of which, she declared, impressed her that he was irrational.
 MT. Jerome succeeded repeatedly in winning points on technicalities. He brought into use the professional se- crecy that exists among physicians. His every objection to physicians tes- tifying to the ghastly details of the mental condition of Thaw's ancestors was on the grounds that professional obligations compelled medical men to keep silent on the nature of their pa tient's affiictions unless they were giv- en permission to talk by the patients themselves in open court.
 g Judge Bowling agreed with the dis trict attorney and sustained every ob- jeetfon. Despite this, the defense sue ceeded in bringing out enough testi- mony from the medical witnesses to establish a foundation for their plea of insanity.

In the city of Chicago pneumonia claims four and half times more vic tins than any other disease, 6 condi- ton that Is aggravated because so many people do not have or cannot get the fresh air which they need. Pneu- monia, bronchitis and consumption are recognized as the three chief impure air diseases, and best informed physi- cians not only recommend an abun- dance of fresh air as prevention, but also as a cure. Seldom is the man, woman or child who is much out of doors troubled with these ailments. In spite of the fact that fresh air is cheap, many seem to go on the assumption that 1t Is the cause of coughs and colds or Is so costly as only to be within the reach of miilionaireS and aristocrats
 It has been estimated as a result of careful surveys which have been made by members of the government forest service that there are in the Appa lachian mountain system south of the state of Pennsylvania 5S,000,000 acres of land covered for the most part with hardwood timber, of which amount S5 per cent is in a cut over condition. It is claimed that with proper care, in- cluding prudent cutting and a proven tion of forest fires, this area, little of which from it's very nature can ever be devoted to any other use than the raising of timber, can be brought up to a point where it will produce annually forty cubic feet of timber per acre. This total, together with 25 per cent of the remaining supply, which it is estimated can be secured from other states, will just about meet the annual consumption of 3,OOO,OOO, ,OOO board feet. The attention of the forest service as well as others interested in the fores- try question is just now being directed with much force to this problem and its solution.
