LAST CALL TO
TEST SEED CORN
By Prof. G. I. Christie, Purdue
University.

During the past two months mem
bers of the experiment station have
made a study of the seed corn of the
state and find the vitality of much of
It to be in a serious condition. The
unusual cold, wet season Of 1907 did
not allow the corn to mature and dry
out before the time of frosts. In the
early part of October, much OF the
corn of the state was still in a very
moist and immature condition, and the
series of hard freezes which came at
that time materially injured the vital
lty. The result of these conditions Is
that those corr growers who depended
ON late selected seed are now finding
upon close examination many ear of
questionable vitality. For these rea.
sons all seed corn should be specially
selected and thoroughly tested. A test
Of each individual a should be made
and all weak or dead ears should be
| discarded.
This test can be made In several
ways. The following is suggested as
a reliable and satisfactory one:
Take a box made Of inch lumber
and of any convenient size, say about
two by three feet and three inches
deep. Through the ends and sides
about 21a inches from the bottom
lore small holes two inches apart
Through these holes string a hgh
Iron County register. [volume] (Ironton, Iron County, Mo.) 1867-1965, 1908-04-30

galvanized wire, which will divide the
box into squares two inches to the
side. Then fill the box with garden
soil or sand and it is ready for use.
The ears should be laid on the floor
or racks in a row so they can be nun
bered. From ear No. / remove five
kernels, each from a different part of
the ear, and place these in square No.
1; remove five kernels from ear No. 2
and place in square No. 2, and so on
until all the ears have been tested.
After placing the kernels, molsten the
material in the box thoroughly and
cover with a glass or a rug, to keep
the surface from drying. Place the
tester in a room of ordinary living
room temperature, or about 70 de;
grees F. After five days examine the
corr and any ears that fail to show
a strong termination of the kernels
should. be removed and discarded.
This method of testing corr is sim
pie, convenient and rapid, and means
much in securing strong, germinable
seed. Only IA ears are required to
plant an acre Of ground. With an
average yield each ear ean five
bushels in the fall. When a man can
test five to eight bushels in a day and
locate definitely all weak or bad ears,
can he afford to neglect this import,
ant step in the preparation of his seed
corn? G.. l. CHRISTIE.

SOME SIMPLE GOOD THINGS.
For the Breakfast and Dinner Table
and Dessert.

Mix one cupful of sifted bread -four,
one-half cupful of yellow granulated
cornmeal. two level t~easpoonfuls Of
baking powder, one-half level teaspoon
full of salt aud one rounded tablespoon
full of sugar; stir in one cupful of milk,
one well-beaten egg and two table
spoonfuls of melted butter or lard.
Beat 1t thoroughly and turn into
creased muffin pans and bake in a
quick oven about 20 minutes.
The secret of a good baked potato
is first a round structure, then a
smooth surface, a ~well-scrubbed skin
and a hot, hut not too hot oven; II
baked too quickly the part nearest the
skin chars, but when just right, the
thin outer skin will peel off easily,
leaving a mass of snowy meal inside.
Bake from 30 to 40 minutes and when
soft on pressure remove and serve at
once.
When the skins are thin and Of a
deep red color | frequently do not
pare the apples, but at all times | am
careful to remove all the core, ospe-
cially every bit of the lining of the
seed cells, and to bake them in gran
lite or earthen, never in tin, as tin
gives them an unpleasant favor and a
dingy color. Fill the core cavities
with sugar, heaped or scant, accord
ing to the tartness of the apples; add
also a few grains of salt and sufi-
cient water to half cover the apples.
Bake in a quick oven and haste fire.

Cure to Cuticura.

Several months ago, my little boy
began to break out with itching Sores.
l doctored him, but as Don as l got
them healed up in one place they
would break out in another. l was
almost in despair. I could not get
anything that would help him. Then
I began to use Cuticura Soap and Cuti-
cura Ointment, and after using them
three times, the sores commenced to
heal. He is now well, and not a sea
is left on his body. They have
returned nor left him with bad blood,
as one would think. Cuticura Rene
dies are the best l have eve tried.
and l shall highly recommend them to
any one who is suffering likewise.

Protect Kitchen Table.

Procure a piece of asbestos large
enough to cover one end of your
kitchen table and keep it in a convent
ent place. When you start to prepare
a meal lay the asbestos on the table
and cover with a newspaper and you
never will soil or burn the oilcloth or
white pine, as the case may be. All
hot serving or baking dishes may be
set upon the asbestos with perfect
safety. Now, when the cleaning up
process comes after the meal roll up
and burn the sheet Of newspaper and
set the asbestos away. Your table
needs no scrubbing and no unsightly
rings have been burned thereon.

Oranqe Pie.

An orange pie is not so common as
the lemon pie, but has good points.
AS the orange lacks decided acid it is
best to add a little lemon juice. Put
two level tablespoons of cornstarch
into one cup of cold water and when
smooth add three quarters cup of
boiling water and cook three minutes.
Add a pinch of salt, the grated rind Of
one large orange, one tablespoon of
lemon juice, the juice of three
oranges and one cup of sugar and
cool. Now add the beaten yolks of
two eggs and the whites Of n and
turn into a paste lined plate. Bake
slowly and when nearly cool cover
with a meringue made from the white
of one egg beaten with two level
tablespoons of powered sugar. Color
a little in a very slow oven.

MIND AND MUSCLE
TO WORK TOGETHER

Crumple up in each hand a large
sheet of newspaper till it is a COM
pact ball. Stand upright, chest out,
arms at the sides. Squeeze each of the
paper wads steadily and as hard as
you can, without moving any part of
the arm-or, indeed, any part of the
body except the fingers. Keep every
muscle of the whole body tense as you
do this, and press as if your life de-
pended on it. Relax the grip slowly,
and tighten it again, equally slowly.
Do this 20 times the first day, increas-
ing by two a day until you get 1t up to
40. Notice some time how the fore
arm muscles stand out while you are
going through with this exercise, and
you will get some idea of its benefit.
In the b%itterest weather you can
work yourself into a glow by using
this grip machine for a few minutes,
If you will carry around in your hands
two sheets of newspaper thus crum-
pied up into tight wads, and will grip
them every few minutes, you will
quickly develop a phenomenal
strength of finger and a strong fore
arm. Carry these wads on your walks
and on all occasions when your hands
are not otherwise engaged. You will
soon get into the habit of gripping
them unconsciously.
Another mental concentration eX.
ercise is the following: Render the

long BREATH and push the hands up

time on May Is. This spraying was
about two weeks late, owing to the
fact that between April Is and May
IL it rained II days during which
time IA inches of water fell leaving
the land so wet that the work could
not be done.
The first and second sprayings on
all plats were very unsatisfactory ow-
Ing to lack of power in the pumps.
For this work a hand pump was used
but sufficient pressure m the nozzles
for good work could be maintained
only with great labor, The wind blew
very hard on the date of the second
spraying and prevented satisfactory
work being done.
Plats 2 and 3 were sprayed the third
time on June ~ and IS. This was

Dangers of Weight-lifting Con-
tests to Old and Young
Athletes.
BY ALBERT PAYsoN TERHUNE.

(Athletic Expert of New York Even
ing World. Author of Muscle
Building" etc.)
The most important detail to re-
member in taking up athletics is the
fact that you will improve only as long
as you keep your entire mind on what
you are doing. You can stand and
swing dumb-bells or pull at chest
weights for an hour at a time and if
your mind is elsewhere all the eXer-
else will not do you an atom of good.
Did you ever see a boy in school sit
ting with his book held up in front Of
him. merely trying to deceive the
teacher into the idea that he was
busy? Well. that boy gained fully as
much knowledge from the book he was
not reading as you will get from ath-
letic exercises into which you do not
put your whole heart and soul. The
boy who pretends to study when he is
really loaflng is dishonorable toward
his teacher. The would-be athlete who
does not put his mind on his work is
acting dishonorably toward all that is
best in his physical makeup.
R%olandow, who is, with the possible
exception of Sandow, the strongest
living man, declares this mental con-
.centration is the whole secret of ath-
.letic prowess. He says he owe his
evolution from a nervous weakling in
to a giant to the fact that he put all
his heart into every athletic exercise
he went through.
There is much truth in what he
says, and on somewhat the same idea
is based more than one of the get
strong" methods taught by the vari-
GUS physical culture professors who
advertise in many of the papers.
Here are one or two exercises de.
pendent entirely on mental c%oncentra,

successfully was e en among some
new things not long ago.
Two pieces of cardboard, about 20
by IA inches in size, were pasted to-
gether at one of the longer edges, max
ing what looks like a pageless book
cover. This was covered by a piece of
Powered cretonne neatly turned at the
edges, and these raw edges covered by
a piece of firm white paper, which ex-
tended over the entire inside of the
pad. Two or more pieces of blotting
paper were inserted and fastened by
ribbons passed through both covers
ana plotting paper and tied on the out
side. A piece of ribbon of the same
shade, but wider, Vas fastened so that
1t ran diagonally across each cover
and, tying, held the leaves in place.

of windfall from the sprayed and I'm
sprayed trees. If we take the fruit
set July l as a basis of the crop borne,
the unsprayed trees lost on an aver
age 60 per cent. of their crop between
July ! and September Is. The sprayed
trees in plat 2 lost less than Is per
cent. and the sprayed trees in plat 3
lost less than 10 per cent. About 80
per cent. of the windfall fruit, in each
Of the three plats, was wormy. The
gain by spraying was not all in the
per cent. of fruit free from worms and
disease, but a large increase in the
amount of fruit carried to maturity.
Windfall fruit is not all due to insects
and diseases. The character and
amount Of cultivation given the or
chard has also a very important influ-
ence over the amount of windfalls.
