ably good crops. This does not mean,
however, that the stand might not
have been made better and the crop
larger had these same farmers given
more care to the selection, storing and
treatment OF their seed corn.
The condition Of corn in the spring
of 1908 that had stood during the win
ter In shock or crib emphasizes In a
striking way the risks that are run In
using seed that has not been properly
saved. OF u large number Of ears test
ed at the Michigan Agricultural col
lege for vitality those selected from
the shock invariably produced an ex-
coed ingly low number Of examinations.
More than 30 per cent Of the ears pro
duced no termination whatever, and
Of those that did show vitality 1t was
rare that 100 per cent of the kernels
terminated. The conditions under
which corn passed the winter were ex-
ceedingly bad, but even with the best
conditions there are influences, such as
freezing, molding and the like, which
OF necessity tend to reduce the vitality
of the corn.
The ear should be selected while II
still remains on the standing stalk.
The stalk should be OF good size, with
considerable foliage. The position of
the ear should be considered. II too
low 1t Is apt to mature late. 1t Is the
opinion Of the college experlmenters
that increased yields are secured by
the judicious selection Of seed from
stalks bearing two ears. The ideal ear
should be cylindrical, not taperlng Nx
perience teaches that rough top kernels
are best.
The selected ears should be placed
where they will dry In the shortest
time. and various methods
have been employed for this purpose
There Is no better method from the
standpoint Of efficiency than the old |
one OF braiding the ears together by |
the husks left upon them or tying |
them In lots by strings and hanging In
the summer kitchen or in the attic |

One of them to steady herself took
hold of what she supposed was her

for some time, when on looking down
she discovered that she was holding a

she exclaimed, "Oh, I've got the

Whereupon the man with smile

garding the project says:
Contrary to recent pulpit utterances
the theater has had among all civiliza.
tons distinctly religious origin and
is today capable Of great moral good.
II should not for moment deny
that in some instances the present day
theatrical productions have charm il

wish to abolish religion or the church
nor should l wish for that reason tt

Replica of Famous clermont to DupIi-
cate Her Maiden Trip Next Fall.
The replica Of Robert Fulton's steam
boat Clermont, which made the first
successful trip under steam power up
the Hudson river from New York to
Albany. will play prominent part in
the commemorative celebration Of the
three hundredth anniversary Of the
discovery of the Hudson and the one
hundredth anniversary Of the first
steam navigation next fall under the
direction Of the Hudson Fulton cele-
bration commission. Determining the
exact dimensions and equipment of the
.Clermont has been difficult, and it is
only through the efforts of the late
Rear Admiral Joseph B. Coghlan, ma
val constructor; William j. Baxter and
Captain Jacob Ws.sMiller and Of Eben
Olcot, J. w. Willard and Frank E.
Kirby, naval architects, that it is pos
sible for the commission to build an
exact replica.
According to the plans, the Clermont
will be seen exactly as she appeared
in 1907 and will duplicate her maiden
trip, starting from her original Slip
and landing at the same pier in Al
bany. She will be escorted, IN COM
pany with the replica Of the Half
Moon, by feet Of war vessels of
many nations, pleasure yachts and
merchant craft. The escorting feet
will constitute the greatest naval pa
rade in the history Of the United
States.

HOME TEAMS FIRST REVERSE
Local Basketball Quint Loses to
saltwater With Score OF is
to %.
According to All Reports Received
Here New Ulm Boys Were
Treated Shabbily.

The New Uim high school basket
ball team, under the chaperonage Of
Profs. Jedlicka and Kessler, went to
Saltwater Friday, and in the second
game with the Bluff City players
encountered their first defeat this
season, the first in series of eleven
games.
A Minneapolis Journal account
says that, while the New Ulmites were
defeated with score of % to %, they
played strong game and lost only
because of the brutal strength of the
Saltwater contingent.
An eye witness of the game gives
the Review the following story:
"Not only was the game rough, but
the treatment of the New Ulm boys
after the game was most reprehensible.
The New Ulm team was bound to lose
one way Or another. HUM, who
made the most points for the New
Ulmites during the first halt of the
game, was made the object of the
fercest attack during the second half.
He was hurt three times in FIVE minutes
and had to be carried off the floor.
Later it was discovered that he had
sustained an injury to one of his
eyes.
with HUM out OF. the game, the
New Ulm team was weakened serious.
ly. Groebner took his place and put
up good fight, but could not over
come the disadvantage he was sub.
jected to because of the size of his
opponent.
"When the game was over a mob Of
some two hundred people followed the
New Ulm boys to the hotel and the
aid of the police had to be invoked to
guarantee them protection from in.
suit and assault.
'The visitors we're willing to admit
that they lost the game, but they con
tend that it was because they came tc
Saltwater to play basketball and no.
to fight ....~

catcuss Is the Name Mexican Travel
ers Give to Aggressive Plant.

Travellers returning to Torreon, Mex
leo, from the mountains have discov-
cred, it is said, new species of cac-
tus, which they have named "catcuss''
because they say it springs upon trav-
elers like cat and makes them .'cuss."
The ''catcuss," it is alleged, grows
upon stalk and is shaped like small
ball and covered with spines. Travel
ers claim that it is attracted by the
warmth of a human or animal body
and that it springs from it's stem on to
the passerby, the spines piercing the
flesh and holding on like cactus
