GOOD ADVICE TO HUNTERS

Don't let the shoulder straps of your
game bag and other hunting parapher-
MALTA swing around and catch the trlg-
gers when you have the hammers
drawn.
Don't carry a gun with the muzzle
pointing at any one. either behind or
before you. If YOU are hunting In
company with others, and your com
panions arc ahead of you. carry the
gun over your shoulder. the muZZlc
pointing up at an angle of 10 or 10 de-
grccs.

CORN SELECTION PAYS

This spring there was not enough
good seed in tho corn belt states to go
around and the man who had good,
sound seed could have made big money
had he made a business of selecting
and selling II.
Prof Joseph a jeffrey writes that
great deal of shock and crib corn has
been used for seed In that state. He
gives an interesting example of what
good selection means:
I have before me two illustrations
of what this VIII mean. One farmer
who saved seed last fall exhibited two
ten-ear lots at n local corn show. Both
samples were excellent corn, and If he
had 5000 bushels equally we'll saved
he could easily dispose of H. AS a
matter of fact lie had saved just about
sufficient seed for his own use. but
had a considerable amount of the same
corn in the crib and q larger amount
in the shock
l have tested twelve cars of his shock
corn, using the official method of maxi

Of which Indicates very unfortunate
state of affairs.
In another instance a farmer sent
us four cars TO test Two out Of the
four ears showed sufficient vitality to
warrant their use for seed.
The failure OF farmers to select their
seed corn in the field win cost them
several millions OF bushels.

began life as a cattle drover. never
altered his attire, but still dressed in
the slovenly clothes of his cattle drov-

was absolutely unedueated. He pro-

and Vanderbilt spelt boiler "boyler"
Neither man believed in books, keep

colossal OF the methods Of making
money the following anecdote viii af-
