OUIENNE BETHUNE IS
 DECLARED NOT GUILTY

Because the quarantine against his cattle was not authorized by the State Veterinarian. but by an assistant. Quienne Bethune was declared not guilty yesterday of a violation of the stock quarantine law. He was charged with having driven cattle. which had been declared tick-infected, from a quarant!ned pasture.
 The old stock quarantine law. under which Bethune had been indicted. has been branded as defective. fin that its provision giving a subordinate the au- thority to declare a quarantine is held invalid.
 It was Bethune's lucky day. Besides the dismissal In the quarantine case. he was discharged in another case or violating rent contract.

HOOD MAKES kEPURl
INFORMS SOLICITOR OF REGENT
 INSPECTION TOUR.
written Report on Near-Beer stands wiu Net Be Made Public Fer At Least Ffftees
 Days.

In accordance with the Ballard bill. Sheriff Hood and his deputy made a tour of inspection several days ago, visiting eishty-two places that held H. censes, without finding any violations of the law. His official report of the tour was filed with Solicitor Stern yes- terday. but according to the law. this report can not be made public until it has been in the hands of the Solicitor for fifteen days. seqte'
 The Sheriff had to obtain a correct list Of all holders of licenses in order that after his inspection a complete report might be sent to the Solicitor In this tour of inspection the SheriT had to ascertain whether or not the United States tax stamp was posted in a conspicuous place about the premises He must find out what kind of business was done in those places where the Ii, cense was held. and what kind of peo- pie conducted the business. These and many other such duestions were an- swered in the report handed In today.
 Another provision in the law is that all screens shall be removed within ten days after the bill has been signed. and notice served on the proprietors by the Sheriff. As notification was made last Wednesday of this law. the soft drink stands must get busy and tear down their screens and take away all stained glass so that the counter may be plain ly seen from the street.
 Only the Probate Judge and the judge of the court in which the Solicitor prosecutes, are permitted to see the re. port of the Sheriff after 1t has been handed over to the solicitor. After the expiration of fifteen days 1t Is open to the inspection of the public.
 Along with the report handed In by the sheriff was the following letter:
 Hon. P. H. Stern. Solicitor
 Dear Sir:--In accordance with Sec- ton { of an act entitled an act to bet ter secure the enforcement of the laws of the State. to prescribe duties of sherifrs and solicitors in the enforce ment of the law etc. which section provides that the sheriff shall. within i've days after the passage of the act obtain a list of all persons. firms and corporations who had paid the special internal revenue taxes to the Collector of Internal Revenue of the United States as wholesale o~ retau liquor dealers, and shall within the time pre- scribed proceed to make an inspection and examination of the places for which such special tax was paid. and report the result of such investieation to the solicitor or solicitors who prosecute criminal cases In their respective counties herewith beg to submit the attached report.

debate in the court house. which was filled to overflowfng.
 Hobson spoke first for one hour and ten minutes and Davis followed in one and one-half hour and Hobson closed in twenty minutes
 If the cheering indicated the strength of the candidates, Davis had the largest number of voters on his side, the boys. women and children cheered for Hobson and a majority et the men for Davis.
 The debate was warm and bitter words were spoken by. both candidates. Hobson explained his Brownsville vote to reinstate the negro soldiers. and Davis charged him with saying at Car rollton Monday that he, (Hobsonl. would cast the same vote again. This Hobson did not deny.

DAILY THOUGHT.

Blessings on the man who smiles! Not the man who smiles , for effect, nor the one who smiles when the world smiles. but the man whose smiles is born of an inner radiance; the man who smiles when the clouds lower. when fortune frowns. when the tides are adverse: the sunshine of whose heart breaks forth in smiles. Such a man not only creates his own fair world, but he multiplies himself an hundred fold in the courage and strength and joy of other men. ---Rev. G.. l.. Perrin in Washing ton Herald.

The Seed and the Germ.

The seed contains the germ or young
plant surrounded by a nutritive layer
which is stored for the purpose of nour-
ishing the plant while it is still too
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1909-03-21

young and weak to secure its nourish-
ment from the soil.
The nutritive layer of many farm
seeds is coIHposedsof starch and sugar,
and these are valuable as food for man
and beast. The starch and sugar are
often called heat and energy producing
foods.
The germ in most seeds is relatively
small and composed largely of protein
substances and oil. which have high
food value. The protein materials are
often called muscle-making foods and
are similar in composition and value to
the lean meat of animals and the white
of egg The germ is a perfect minia-
ture plant.
Sprouting or termination.
The seed must contain a living germ
or it Will net sprOut. Some seeds ger
inmate quickly and strongly, while 9TH
ers are slow to sprOut and produce
weak or spindling plants. The seeds
of farm crops which most often give
inferior yields by reason of weak vital
ity are corn, wheat, oats, potatoes, blue
grass and clover. The influences which
affect the vitality of seeds are matur-
ity, age, size, kind of seed, pedigree,
method of production, climate, method
OF preservation, repeated termination
and chemical substances.
Seeds Lose Vitality.
The power of seeds to terminate is
diminished If they are not thoroughly
mature or ripe at the time of planting
Seeds viii often terminate when they
are immature, but they will produce
weak plants, which easily suceumb to
unfavorable conditions.
All seeds lose their vitality with age
Seeds vary greatly in this respect. some
retaining their vitality only one year
while others may be safely planted sew
eral years after gathering.
Seeds containing much oil, such as
sunfiOWers. corn and fax, lose their Vi
tality much earlier than other seeds
Some seeds will not grow if at all dried
after maturing. Many other seeds seem
to improve in vitality by passing
through a dry resting stage after ripen-

ing. Most seeds are as good the second
year as the first, if they have been prop
erly handled.
In general, beans, peas. corn and car
rots are good for two years: lettuce, as
paragus and radishes for three years;
ca bbage and turnips for five years, and
beets, melon and squash should germi-
nate when six to eight years old. Gar
deners have long believed that two to
four-year-old seeds of melon, squashes
and eucumbers are more desirable than
fresh seeds, because they produce more
fruit and less vine.
Large seeds give larger. more vigor-
Gus plants and a better yield than
small seeds. 1t is a good practice to
select the largest and plumpest seeds of
corn, wheat, oats, clover, beans, pota-
toes and all other farm and garden
crops.
What Occurs in termination.
When termination begins, the seed
absOrbs about four times its weight of
water, chemical changes take place, and
heat is produced.
A dry seed cannot sprout. The water
thus acquired by the seed softens the
external seed covering, swells the It's
sues, and in some cases by mechanical
pressure bursts the seed coats. The
water also dissolves the plant food and
carries it to the developing embryo.
The principal change in the seed is a
change OF starch to sugar through the
agency of a feTment called diastase. The
fats in the seeds seem to be finally
changed to sugar and soluble carbohy-
drates. The protein substances are also
changed by similar action to soluble
plant food. The available food ma
terials are now transferred to the de-
veloping embryo, where they are as
simulated and growth takes place.
Many Of the chemical changes going
on in the seed during termination are
processes of oxidation. These changes
are always accompanied by the produc-
ton Of heat.
