Ancestral Neolect.

What mathematician can see why
everybody on this planet isn't living
on the compound interest of two or
three dollars invested by his great
grandfather? In a Lincoln court the
administrator of the estate of child
born 40 years ago is suing the child's
father for $4,000.
This is the product at seven per
cent. compound interest OF $1,000 al
legged to have been given the child in
care Of the father by the grandfather
in recognition OF the naming the child
after the grandparent. Another ten
years more this thousand would be
$4,000, and on the centenary Of the
child's birth his heirs would be en-
titled to a third of a million if they
were entitled to anything.
Still another century and their de-
mand would be for over a hundred
millions, perhaps fifth of the wealth
of Andrew Carnegie. The fact that
only one man in a million understands
how diligently the compound interest
table works while mere men sleep is
one OF the reasons for millionaires.-

charged with being implicated in the
dynamiting Saturday night of two new
school buildings, the Robideaux ana

The police say they have damaging

were being erected by P. P. Buddy

Campbell was identified by Buddy
as a man who came to him several
days ago and asked him to discharge
some non-union iron workers. This
Buddy refused to do, and he was told
that he would hear again from Camp
bell, who said he was a walking dele

In the Robideaux school were
found two charges of dynamite, which
had not been touched off. Some dyna-

In obtaining seed corn from places
at a distance it is always best to Sc
cure it in the ear, because in this
form it can be picked over, judged
and all ears that are not suited for
planting may be thrown aside, while
if it is shelled no such selection can
be made.
The selection of seed corn by the
farmer from his own crop is generally
accomplished in one of three ways:
First, by picking out the seed after
the corn has been cribbed; second, by
selecting the best ears while gather
ing, and third, by going into the field
before harvesting time and selecting
the most desirable ears. OF these
three ways my experience has shown
the last to be the best, because bet
ter selection can be made when that
is the only aim in view and when the
entire plant, and not simply the ear.
can be considered. Whatever the
method, more seed than is really need
ed should be selected, in order that
a second wedding out" of the poor
est ears just before planting may still
leave enough good seed.
On our farm we have tried still
another method for obtaining the best
seed corn-namely, to grow it in a
special plot of ground. We used the
following method: Take any number
of selected ears-say so, for example
and plant them in so separate
parallel rows, one ear to the row.
This makes it necessary for the plot
of ground to be at least so corn rows
wide, and it should be long enough for
the planting of about two-thirds of an
ear in each row. If possible, this
ground should be as far removed from
other fields of corn as can be, to pre-
vent outside pollination. To further
protect from foreign pollen we have
found it a good plan to take the re-
naming one-third of the selected corn
and use it to plant a border around
the breeding plot. Before the pollen
natures every alternate row is detas-
seled, to prevent self or close pollina-

ACCOUNTS FOR TWIN SHOCKS
Scientific Explanation of Cause of
Tremors Separated by But
Few Seconds.

Among the most interesting earth
tremors, from 4 scientific point of
view, are those known as twin earth
quakes,' where two distinct series of
shocks are felt, separated by an in
terval of two or three seconds. In
each series the vibrations increase to
a maximum and die away, the whole
duration, including the quiet interval,
being eight to twelve seconds. In the
British Isles the most powerful shocks
are nearly always of this kind. When
they occur, however, there is always
strip OF country where only one
shock is felt. Apparently there are two
distinct points of origin for these
shocks, and the strip where single
shock is felt is that where the two
sets of vibrations arrive simultane-
ously. The fact that this band is
straight shows that the twin shocks
occur together and that therefore one
Is not a consequence of the other
Probably there is an S-shaped bend in
some interior layer of rock and the
twin foci are at the points of greatest
displacement-namely, the bend of the
5. The movement that causes such
twin earthquake therefore results
in accentuating the form of the fold

factory method to string the corn and
tie it up in the barn, provided it is
well covered. In the spring, before
planting time, every ear should be
tested, especially when there is any
doubt as to it's vitality. We have box
fixed for this purpose; it is four feet
long by three feet wide by six inches
deep. We have bored holes through
the sides two inches from the bottom
and 212 inches apart; through these
holes we have stretched fine wire,
both lengthways and crossways, thus
dividing the box into 215inch squares
At one end these rows OF squares are
numbered; along one side the squares
in each row are numbered. When
ready to test the corn, we get enough
moist, rich dirt to fill the box up even
with the wire; next we number the
ears to be tested. For example, the
first ear is marked ear one, row one;
the next, ear two, row one. When we
have enough for the first row, the
first ear in the second row is marked
ear one, row two, and so on. Wher
the ears are all numbered, take four
or five grains from different parts of
each ear and plant them in the square

rows that are imperfect to a marked
degree in any way should be detas-
seled.
All the seemingly good ears from
good stalks, in good position on the
stalk, should be gathered from the de-
tasseled rows. Out of all these ears
first pick out the best ones for next

naming the best ears can be selected
for next seasons seed corn for the

In regard to the type of ear to Sc
lect for seed the following points are
essential: The main object in view is
the production of as large a quantity
of grain to the ear as possible; the
ear should be cylindrical in shape,
about ten inches in length and 7%
inches in circumference. Both ends
should be we'll filed out with large

MAKING MONEY
RAISING SKUNKS
How the Animals Are Bred and
Why their Breeding Profitable.

Skunk farming is becoming an i'm
portant industry in some parts of the
United States, and yet the man who
suggested it was regarded as mentally
unsound. To-day there are hundreds
of such farms on a paying basis.
The average skunk produces a
quart of oil and the fur or skin always
brings a good price, fashion regu-
lating the value. At the present time
the skins which are the most valuable
are the darker ones. A pure black
skin is worth from $1.25 to $3.50, &C
cording to the quality and size; a
striped skunk skin brings in the mar
ket about so or 60 cents, while those
with a part stripe are worth in the
neighborhOod Of a dollar.
1t has been figured out that a man
who understands skunk farming can
begin on 20 skunks, 10 females and
five males, and in a few years he can
have a healthy bank account. 1t is
not difficult to calculate how rapidly
these 20 skunks will increase in num-
Der. Say you begin work early in the
fall and that in December they breed
At once you have an increase of 12O
skunks, putting the average of each
litter at eight. In June they breed
again. and if the same ratio of in
crease be kept up, at the expiration
Of year and a half you will have
7,495 skunks.
Put the pelts at one dollar each, the
pelts of 200 male skunks would bring
5000; the oil at so cents an ounce
would be worth $500. Then figuring
as was done on the increase in
skunks, at the expiration of a year
and a half you could kill 300 male
skunks, the pelts of which would be
worth that many dollars.
The amount of oil gathered from
this number would be 29,6OO ounces.
worth just S14,SO0. At the expiration
of four years you would have killed
100000 males, the pelts of which
would be worth $780,, 900, and the oil,
Is, 100000 ounces, worth $4,000 900.
And you would still have 3,7OO, 900
skunks left!
1t is not surprising that skunk
farming is being taken up throughout
the country, and if it was possible to
deodoriZe the skunk the industry
would be even more popular.

however, that servants of the various
