TEN HOURS A DAY
 FOR CONDUCTORS
 ON LEHIGH VALLEY
fsnecial from united Press.l

Especial from United Press.)
 New York, Dec. 31.-The follow ing official statement was given out this afternoon by the Lehigh Valley Railroad officials:
 Already haslng made anss agree ment with it's engineers. the Lehigh Valley Railroad Company has now made a similar one with it's conduc- tors, covering rates of pay and con ditions of work for the year 1910.
 ''The principal feature of the new agreement Is that the work day of 10 hours is granted to the conduc- tors, in place of the 12 hour day which has prevailed hitherto. The 10 hour day is the rule in other rail- roads in the same territory.
 "Other minor questions were ad- justed satisfactorily"
 There was no change in the wage scale now paid the conductors, but the ten hour day gives them so hours less work to do each month, or. that much in overtime pay if compelled to work.

This selected corn should be spread
in a thin layer on some convenient
floor space and allowed to dry out
quickly, especially corn grown on bot
tom land. Some men provide rough
racks in which to store this corn to
favor its rapid drying. Cold weather,
such as we have in Fulton county,
has little effect on dry corn. II the
corn is not thoroughly dry when hea-
Wy freezing comes, 1t is almost in
variably injured in germanation and
the strength of germanination of corn
has a great deal to more to do with
the yield than is commonly supposed.
Where a man has an attic or va
cant room in the house, IL is frequent
ly a good plan to use that for seed
corn storage.
The important point in the whole
matter of storage is to get the corn
dry quickly and keep it dry. II this
is done, the germanination is almost
sure to be good.

THE USEFUL LEMON.

Two or three slices of lemon in a
cup of strong tea will cure a ner-
vous headache.
A teaspoon of lemon juice In a
cup of black coffee will relieve a
bilious headache.
A lotion of lemon juice and rose
water will remove tan and whiten
the skin.
Outward application of the juice
relieves irritation caused by insect
bites.
If. when boiling rice, a teaspoon
of lemon juice is added the kernels
will be white and a delicate flavor is
impaired.
An old-fashioned remedy for Group
is honey, alum and lemon juice.
We all know the value of salt and
lemon juice for removing rust stains
from white goods.
After the juice is extracted, the
rind dipped in salt cleanses brass
beautifully and conveniently.
Tough meat can be made tender
by adding a teaspoon of lemon juice
to the water in which it is boiled.

SELECTION OF SEED CORN.

There is no more important factor
concerned in the production of large
yields of corn than the proper selec-
ton and care of the seed. The Sc
lecting Of seed ears of desirable quail
ity is just as important to the farmer
as is the selection OF animals for
breeding purposes.
The best method of selecting seed
corn. is to allow 1t to become thor
oughly ripened on the stalk and then
select il from the field before the
corn is picked. There is considerable
advantage TO be gained in being able
TO examine the stalk from which an
ear of corn comes. In this way a man
can select ears only from those stalks
which have the normal amount of
room and which have the ears at
the proper height. Frequently good
ears as we pick them from the cribs
are simply due to the fact that the
stalk on which they grew was the
only one in the hill and therefore
had a much better chance than the
average. What We want is a good
ear produced on stalks which have
only an average chance and which are
good because OF some hereditary
cause. Such ears will be more pro-
ductive than those selected from iso-
lated stalks.
The next best way TO select seed
corn is TO select the good ears as
the corn is being picked and throw
these in box ON wagon separate from
the main load. This is the common
method of those who give reasonable
care in seed corn selection. But In
whatever way these selections are
made, a considerably larger amount
of corn should be thus selected than
is necessary for seed, so II viii then
be possible TO re-seleet before stor'
