Ideal Seed Corn.

At this time of the year all corn
growers will be interested in good
seed. When one selects corn he should
be able to really know a good ear of
corn when he sees it. The following
description should enable the careful
observer to make good selections:
Authorities have decided that the
best form for an ideal ear should be
as near cylinder as possible. It
should be about ten inches long and
about seven inches in circumference,
or at least this ratio should be as near
parallel as possible, and the grains
should grow well over the tip and
butt. The grains should be wedge
shape, and their length should be at
least twice their width. The cob
should be small, from "a to 80 per
cent. OF an ear of corn should be
grain. In yellow corn the cob should
be red, and in white corn Ii should be
white. If one desires his corn to
have high protein contents the germ
of heart should be large. If meal is
to be made the white or starchy end
should be large The grains should
be firm on the cob, and the ear should
be firm, solid and heavy. The grains
of the dent varieties will be more or
less wrinkled on the outer tip, other
wise the surface of the ear should be
smooth and glossy. A dead color
usually indicates low vitality

Mary's Wedding.

A Maryland man recently married
on his fourth daughter, the ceremonies
touching whose wedding were given
much attention by the society ed
ttors" Of the country papers in that
region.
A week or two after the wedding a
friend who had been north for some
time met the father, to whom he made
some jocular references in regard to

Liked the New Minister.
The new minister in a George
church was delivering his first ser
mon. The darby janitor was a critical
listener from a back corner of the
church. The minister's sermon was
eloquent, and his prayers seemed to
cover the whole category of human
wants. After the services one of the
deacons asked the old darky what he
thought Of the new minister. Don't

A lime Charne.

A benevolent New Yorker recently
employed two girls to do q special
piece Of work in his Office. When 1t
was completed he found that one girl,
being expert, had done great deal
more than the other one. Being un-
certain what he ought to pay them he
decided to leave that question to them.
The expert girl set her price and, to
his amazement, the other girl charged
considerably more.
How is that?" he asked. Miss
Swift charges me a great deal less
than you do for the same amount Of
work"
Certainly" reasoned Miss Young.
"it took me great deal longer to 90
1t than 1t did her. | ought to be paid

The benevolent New Yorker re-
hected, murmured something about
her manifest qualifications for the
plumbing business, and finally compro-
missed with them both by sagacious
deal In candy.

REASON FOR THIS SLANG TERM.
Medical Men Say One Really Sees
Blue When Painting.

The use of the word blue" to de-
note melancholy or terror, as in the
phrases to feel blue" blue devils"
a blue funk" and so on, is not en-
tirely figurative, If we are to credit a
recent medical writer.
The class of phenomena that In
cludes fainting, vertigo, neusea, etc., is
controlled by certain brain centers
that also bring about sort of cramp
Of the external muscles of the eye.
The resulting compression of the or
gan causes objects to look gray or
blush, and ultimately produces ap-
parent darkness.
The use Of the word, having a physi-
illogical basis, is common to many
languages. The French say. for in
stance. Il see blue" A writer says
that the French word eblouissement
(giddiness) should be spelled ebleuis-
sement, and has the same origin.

Eat What
You want of the food you need
Kodol will digest it.

You need a sufficient amount of
good wholesome food and more than
this you need to fully digest it.
Else you can't gain strength, nor
can you strengthen your stomach IL
1t is weak.
You must eat in order to live and
maintain strength.
You must not diet, because the
body requires that you eat a suff1c-
lent amount of food regularly.
But this food must be digested,
and it must be,digested thoroughly.
When the stomach can't do it,
you must take something that viii
help the stomach.
The proper way to do is to eat
what you want, and let Kodol d.
gest the food.
