Reing asked about Indiana politics, Mr.
Denny expressed his opinion. though en-
pbasizinE that he did not pose as a
prophet OF future political happenings in
Indiana. II was suggested to Mr. Denny
that some Indiana Republicans were IN

in that State next year. Mr. Denny

On the local option question that fig

Senator stone. Of Missouri. in speaking
on the tariff bill yesterday. assailed the

into detailed discussion Of the Philip

CITY PITFALLS.

There are all kinds Of schemes and
devices penetrated by city scalawags
for separating the residents of rural
communities from their hard earned
dollars. This is bad and blameworthy
as far as it goes, but it is not to be
mentioned in the same day of the
week with that trade which is piled
by devils in human form in the center
of populations when they use all
Establishments in their power to de-
lude the country girl and separate her
from that which is so dear as life
itself-her honor and purity. Such
men-and women-ought not to be al
lowed to exist. But they do, and as
long as they do it is well for the
country lass not to be misled by allur-
ing and enticing advertising announce
mepts, which give promise of large
salaries at easy work for all country
girls who will go to the city and
make inquiry at such and such place.
The only safe course to follow if
girl wishes to seek employment in a
large city is to secure advice from a
thoroughly reliable friend of the fami
ly who is acquainted with the condi
lions. Acting on this suggestion will
often save heartache, heartbreak and
a blasted life

FEDERAL GRAIN INSPECTION.

Much importance is attached by
grain growers Of the country to the
Macomber bill, pending in congress,
which provides for the federal inspec-
ton of all grain. 1t is thought that
charge Of from 35 to rs cents per
car will cover the cost of inspection
and grading, which will be given
consignment of grain and remain as
its standard until disposed of. As
things are now there seem to be as
many different standards of judging
as there are men and markets, with
no attempt at uniformity. Sharpers
In the grain buying centers take ad-
vantage of this situation, buying grain
OF the farmer as a given grade and
selling 1t to a third party without
touching as grade higher, thus cheat
ing the grower out of a margin of
profit to which he is in all justice
rightly entitled. The bill means mere
ly square deal for the parties most
interested and should become a law.

A SENSIBLE COURSE.

One level headed farmer whose case
came to our attention the other day
desiring to locate ultimately in the
west, has sold his holding in the Mis-
sissippi valley and has rented a small
farm for year near a good market
town in Washington and will move
there at once. His idea is that in this
way he will have abundant opportuni
" to look around, discount where nee
essary the undue claims of overZeal-
Gus land boomers, see things without
bias or pressure and after having done
this make his choice of a location
which, in the many important respects
which should be taken into account,
Is nearest to his liking. 1t will cost
something to carry out this plan, but
the all around satisfaction which will
be derived viii more than compensate
for the cost

TESTING THE SEED CORN.

To grow good crop Of corn one
must have first rich soil in which
to plant the Seed A second condition,
and testing of the seed as will elm
mate in the greatest degree possible
all weak, uniformed or infertile ker-
nels. The general test, used by so
many, may slow with fair accuracy
what per cent of the kernels Of a CIV
but it gives absolutely no light on the
most important point in such a test
the elimination of those ears from
which the poor seed was taken. The
new method of testing the individual
ears, and there are several ways of
vor-that when the test is ready for
inspection a glance at the kernels of
square in the testing box correspond
ing to given ear shows at once
whether such kernels have sufficient
vitality to justify the use Of the ear
for seed. The Holden testing box has
been described in these notes before
and need not be given again. Another
device which is excellent and for
which a patent has been issued is an
upright rack equipped with a series
of little metallic testing boxes large
enough to accommodate five or six
kernels of corn and attached to a
spike or hook, by means of which they
are secured to the ear from which the
kernels are taken. Ordinary soil or
sawdust is used to cover the kernels,
which sprout under about the same
conditions as they would out of doors
in warm weather. The special meth
cd by which the seed is tested is not
so important as that both sides of an
ear, including middle, top and butt,
should be tested and that it should
give definite data of the vitality and
seed quality of each ear that is to be
used for seed. Any other method is
slipshod and in the end improbable.
