Now. my student has, you know, only nine
months for her regular work and three months
to play in. She will not be able to do much
travelling on her slight income, but she can
take short trips near at hand At Easter she
can take advantage of her two weeks holiday
to run down to Dresden, buying the cheap excur-
sion ticket and while there a walking tour IN
Saxon Switzerland will cost her practically
nothing and be very pleasant. She can make a
little tour into the Goethe-Schier country

could spend short time in one Of the smaller

range the type and character of the German
people as they are at play. This would add
much to her pleasure besides being inexpensive
and healthful.

kidney complaint for over three years.
At first it was only a feeling Of weak
ness but the disease gradually grew
on me until last May, | vas laid up
in bed hardly able to- move The
secretions from my kidneys were very
PAINFUL in passage, much to frequent
and greatly disturbed my rest at night.
There was a constant aching across
the small of my back, so severe that
could scarcely move or even turn
in bed. | failed to find relief from
any of the medicines | used and when
my attention was drawn to Doan's
Kidney Pills, | procured a box. re

Smelling Percentage.

Depth of kernel.-The deeper the kernel
the greater proportion of corn to cob.
Size and density Of cOb.-A large cob
means low Smelling percentage. A cob
of woody texture is always heavy.
Filling of butts and tips.-Other thing s
being equal, ears with well filled butts
and carrying their size well out on the
tip will shell the highest percentage OF
corn to cob. The depth Of kernel should
also be maintained over the tip.
Space at cOb.-Space at the cob is a
OF corn to cob. Ears apparently sound on
the surface may have this fault. which
should be carefully looked for.
burrows between rOws.-A wide open fur
row between the rows indicates a low shell
ling percentage and lack of breeding. Close
ness at the crown or lack of furrow usually
indicates space on cob. There should be
sufficient furrow to permit the corn to
dry out readily. Starchiness Is an indica-
ton of low Smelling percentage.
BREED TYPE.
Size and shape Of ear.-The shape of
the ear should conform to the variety type
1t should be full in the central portion and
hold its size well out to the tip. In gem
eral the circumference should be about
three-fOlrths of the length measured one
third the distance from the butt.
Shape Of kernel.-The shape of the kern
ell should conform to the variety type. The
tip should be full, since such a condition
indicates strength, high proportion of corn
to cob and high feeding value. The edges
should touch well up to the crown which
necessitates a more or less wedge-shaped
kernel. A rounding crown gives a smooth
appearance and shows lack OF breeding.
When kernels are close at the crown a
lack OF maturity is shown.
Color of grain.-In color the grain should
be free from mixture and true to the
variety type which they represent.
Color Of cOb.-Any variation OF color, as
light red cob in yellow corn or reddish cob
in white corn should cut in proportion to
the amount of variation.
Arrangement of rOws.-This depends upon
the variety. For example, Reds Yellow
Dent is distinctly paired, while Golden Eagle
is arranged in single rows.
NOTE.
I. An ear need not be deficient in all
points mentioned under the respective head
ings to score zero in that particular head
ing.
II. An ear or sample scoring below rs
does not deserve a place.
III. DisQualificatiOns.-A score OF zero
in any of the three main headings dis.
qualities the ear or sample. A red cob In
white corn or white cob in yellow corn
disqualifes the ear.

There is not space here to take up
everything in the premium list that
would be of interest to Dakota farm
ers, but l wish to list some of the
special premiums and also give some
suggestions as to the n of select
ing the corn and packing the exhibits.
Besides the above premiums there
are many other premiums offered
which can be competed for by Dako-
ia growers. Some OF the articles upon
which these premiums are offered are
early and late sweet corn. rye, Kaffir
corn, popcorn, clover, alfalfa, timothy
and corr products. There is also a
junior division of entries for boys and
girls under twenty-one years of age
and there is an educational section
in which entries can be made by dis,
trict schools, town schools and city
schools. In the model kitchen sec.
ton entries can made for the best
corn bread, corr mullins and similar
articles.
l wish to urge again that everyone
send for a copy of this premium list
and see what the National Corn expo
sition is for and the premiums it is
offering for corn and other products
Of the farm.

hull of the kernel it is not serious. The
chaf of the cob is usually discolored in
case of mold.
Chaifiness-When the hand is passed
dictate chatiiness. The kernels usually have
an extremely pinched dent and show inn
maturity.
Starchiness.-Generally a large amount of
white starch indicates immaturity. This
may be present on the back of the kernel.
Adherence of tip cap to cOb.-The adj
herence OF the tip cap to cob in Smelling.
leaving the black tip of the germ exposed,
indicates immaturity.
Adherence of chafr to tip cap.-If the
chaH auheres to the tip cap in Smelling
IT indicates more or less immaturity. The
shrinking kernels have drawn chaf with
them IN The process of drying.
Piumpness of tips of kernels.-Shrunken
tips indicate immaturity, that is, they Were
full or moisture when stored. They also
Indicate lacR of vigor, low proportion OF
corn to cob and low feeding value.
Depth OF kernel.-As a general iule deep
kernels require more time in which to
mature than do shallow kernels. Tie
depths Will vary with the climatic and s II
conditions. Deep kernels are liable 10 show
starchiness.
Vitality.
Color OF embyrO.-An amber or brownish
embryo Indicates that it has been frozen.
Paieness in color usually means loss of
vitality due to long storage. Sometimes
just one of the sprouts will be affected.
condition OF embryO.-A large swollen
embryo indicates that 1t is full of moisture
and liable to freezing. When shrunken. 1t
Is weak because of prolonged storage.
Adherence OF the tip to cOb.-Tip caps
adhering to the cob leaving the black tips
OF the germ exposed indicates liability to
rotting in the ground when planting.
clustering Of kernel.-A kernel blistered
on the back indicates that 1t was i'm
mature and from rapid drying the con-
traction of the cells left an air space
under the hull. When the face OF a germ
II pulled up or wrinkled 1t shows that
the material composing the germ. has
shrunken and a close inspection of the
embryo should be made.
Size OF germ.-The germs should be large
and open on the surface; deep, showing
strength and plenty of nutriment for the
immediate use of the terminating plantlet.
Plumpness Of tip kernels.-Plump tips
are evidence Of maturity and give room
for large germs.
Condition Of cOb.-A cob is often dark
colored or may show a blush moldy APP
pearance around the butt. In such a case
it has not been properly stored or else was
immature when gathered.

NOTES ON THE NATIONAL CORN
EXPOSITION.
w. A. Wheeler, State Vice-President
for South Dakota.

This great exposition which will be
held at Omaha from December 9 to 10
inclusive, is almost upon us. The
corn and grain growers from all over
the United States are now preparing
their best products for exhibit at this
exposition. The premium list is ready
for distribution and anyone a secure
a copy by writing to Professor J..
Wilkes Jones, Bee building, Omaha,
Neb. This list will give full instruc-
ton as to the rules governing the con
tests, premiums offered in the various
classes, best methods of selecting the
corn, packing and shipping exhibits
and such other information that will
be useful to any corn or grain grower,
whether he makes an exhibit or not.
Everyone interested should write for
a copy. 1t probably presents n Of
the finest lists of premiums that vas
ever offered at a similar exposition.

PACKING AND SHIPPING.

After selecting the ears for the different
classes in which you choose to enter. carefully
mark and wrap each ear separately. Use
common newspaper and wrap SO that the
kernels will not be chafed or shelled in
shipment. After the ears are wrapped
pack in a strong light box and ship pre-
paid.
1t is suggested that exhibitors apply for
special shipping tags and instructions which
may save the shipper on transportation
charges.

SCORE CARD
APPEARANCE.
EXPLANATION OF POINTS
GENERAL APPEARANCE.

Size and Shape Of Ear-The ear should
be full in the central portion. The cir
conference should be about three-fourths
of the length and tapering according 10
variety type. The size will vary with the
climatic conditions. The usual length OF
ear in the northern district of the state
lis from six to eight inches; in the central
from seven TO nine inches; and in the
southern from eight to ten inches.
Filling Of Butts-Well filled butts indicate
perfect pollination, strong shanks and pow
er to withstand the winds.
Filling of Tips-Filling the tips, II the
depth of grain is maintained produces high
er yield.
Straightness of ROws-Rows OF kernels
should run straight from butt to tip.
This Is evidence of good breeding. Any
twisting OF rows around the ear or drop
ping of rows is objectional.
Uniformity Of Kernels-The size and shape
OF all kernels of each ear and OF all kernels
on all the ears in a sample should conform
to the variety type and be uniform through
out the sample. This is also an evidence
of good reed and will insure q more even
stand.
