Gumption on The Farm.

1t gets to be an old story to read
every year about the Importance of
buy ing good seed; and yet, thousands
of men think they are saving money
by getting poor seed. It is a great
mistake. Inferior seed almost always
has weed seed in it. It costs to re-
clean good seed, and that is one rea-
son why it is so high in price; but we
had better pay little more than to
have our farms all grown up to weeds.
The best is none too good.
An hour of hard work getting a
stone out of the public road is well
spent, even if nobody thanks you for
it.
Talk over your plans with your wife
as you sit around the evening fire.
You will be surprised to find how
sound her advice is.
For farm covering, good barnyard
manure is mnch better than a mort
gage; and judiciously applied the
former will speedily remove the latter.
Here it is February, and in almost
no time the rush of spring work will
be on. We had better get ready for it
by doing all the odd jobs we can now.
Far above the production of wheat
and corn and hay and potatoes is the
growth and cultivation of character;
for, after all, this is the main purpose
of life.
Have you done your best and been
beaten? Keep a stiff upper lip. Do
little better than your best this year.
You will win; only be true, fair and
square.
A mule may never be known to
kick and yet around his heels is no
place for small children; for after the
explosion regrets won't mend the
pieces, nor clubs better the mule.
If you know good thing, tell your
neighbor about it. 1t will help him
about his work, and it surely can not
do you any harm. Bottled-up good
ness soon turns sour and spoils.
See to it that your straw and clover
stacks are not eaten from beneath, so
the March winds will blow them over
on the stock. I have neighbor who
lost nine sheep at one time, and two
a week later, in this way.
Smokehouse at small cost: Needing
a smokehouse boarded up corner
of an outbuilding: fitted in door,
hung it by leather hings, and ran a
pipe from an old sheet-iron stove to
the smokehouse. Result: Cool smoke,
little danger of setting building on
fire; and chunk of green hickory
will smoke all winter.

such candidates to file only as "inde-

a bill to compel stores which issue

lower house, and the sessions were

In the house, DIR. J. A. Gates intro
duced bill which is of special in
terest in view of the investigation
pending against the operations of the
alleged school book trust. The Gates
bill creates a state school book COM

Elmer e. Adams introduced bill

St. Paul, Mimi, Feb. 15.-The sem
ate and house today both passed res
olution authorizing the regents of the
state university to enter into an agree
ment with the federal government at
Washington, accepting the proposition
to establish timber testing plant and
laboratory at the Minnesota state uni
yersity. The resolution to this effect
IN the senate was introduced by Sen
ator j. T. Elwell Of Minneapolis, and
in the house G.. H. Mattson of Ro-
seau moved it's adoption. There was
no debate on the resolution, and no
opposition.
The establishment of the timber
testing plant will be great advance
in forestry work for Minnesota. The
new department will not only test tim
ber, but experiment with various wood
preservatives, the use of different
woods and other materials for the
manufacture Of paper pulp, and in
wood distillation for the production OF
turpentine, wood alcohol etc. The
government will install corps Of IA
men with an annual payroll of $4,000.
These men may be used in general in
struction work, and thus add greatly
TO the strength Of the faculty in for.
estry subjects. The government will
also equip laboratory and Office at
an expenditure of 100000, which
shall be open to advanced students.
The state is only asked to furnish
door space, light, heat, power and
trackage.
The tri-county delegation (St. Louis,
Hennepin and Ramsey today reported
q bill to the house to exempt social
clubs from having to pay liquor II
cense where they sold liquors exclu
sively to members and not for profit.
Messrs. Brady, White and Opsahl
wanted the bill referred to the temper
Rnce committee. Messrs. j. Fl. John
son and Kneeland favored advancing
the measure to general orders, which
action was ultimately taken. The bill
provides that permit be issued to
clubs by the mayor or president of the
village council after an investigation
by the mayor, the city, and county at
torneys.
Oscar F. Christianson of St. Paul
came to the front in the house with

call for constitutional amendments to

THE SEEDLESS TOMATO.

The latest and most interesting of
vegetable novelties is a seedless to-
mato, produced as a result of expert
ments at the experiment station at
New Brunswick, n J. Not every
fruit of the plant is entirely seedless,
though many of them are so; but
those that contain any seeds have
usually only half dozen An ordina-
ry tomato, on the other hand, as ev-
erybody knows, contains hundreds of
seeds.
Prof. Halsted, who has had charge
of the work, has produced seedless
fruits on several varieties and crosses
of tomatoes. In most cases, however,
they were dwarfs, many being no
larger than peas, though often of
excellent flavor In one instance the
fruit tasted like strawberry.
On the other hand, by crossing the
aforementioned practically seedless
tomato (to which the name Giant has

HORSE SPECTACBES.

The business of one welI-known
firm of opticians in England consists
largely in the manufacture of horse
spectacles," says the Farmers Union
Guide. ''The object of the spectacl6s
is to promote housekeeping. They
are made of stiff leather, entirely
enclosing the eyes of the horse, and
the glasses used are deep concave and
large in size. The ground seems to
the horse to be raised, and he steps
high, thinking he is going up hill or
has to step over some obstacle. This
system of spectacles is generally
adopted while the horse is young.
and its effect on his step and action
is said to be remarkable. 1t has been
discovered that the cause of horses
shying is, as rule, short sight. It
is now suggested that the sight of
all horses should be tested, like that
of children"

LACK OF EXERCISE.

Lack of exercise is often the cause
for sickness in the poultry yard. Lazy
hens sooner or later have indigestion,
and other diseases can be traced to
lack of exercise.
At this season of the year cold
rains are frequent, and the hens will
crowd around the house and do no
work unless they have been provided
a light, roomy scratching shed.
There is always sufficient grain left
over in the litter to tempt the hens
to begin scratching at daylight, and
thus get their appetites in good or
der before the morning meal is ready.
Too much Importance can not be at
tached to the scratching shed; in
fact, one should not expect the hens
to lay during the winter unless they
are kept busy. The more work the
hens do the healthier they will keen.
