No. an "Ad" for Lightning Rods

In speaking about the Coon Prairie
church recently destroyed by lightning,
and calling attention to the fact that
while cities are almost immune from
its assaults, while isolated buildings are
peculiarly exposed to them, the Even
ing Wisconsin quotes Alfred Kinds, an
English expert. He has just published
book on Lightning and Churches, "
giving list of 244 religious edifiees -
cathedrals, churches aud chapels-
damaged by lightning in Great Britain
during the past ten years. He states
that only 25 per cent of the ecclesias-
teal buildings in Great Britain are pro-
vided with electrical conductors that
is to say, lightning rods. Yet lightning
rods, properly affixed in the first place,
and inspected at regular intervals to
guard against their getting out of order,
afford an almost perfect assurance of
safety

The pissontent Of Mankind

We are certainty creatures of dis
content. If the municipal government
don't suit some they want it changed;
later oil they want it changed back
again. If the town is wet they want
it dry; if dry they would like it better
wet. Talk with any farmer for short
time, and carefully approach the sub
ject, and he will tell you that he hopes
to some day accumulate enought so that
he can move to town and take things
easy. Talk to town man and he longs
for the day when he can get small
farm and move to the country and live
in comfort, and have fresh butter and
eggs on the table every meal and a
chicken whenever he wants it. Such
is life. Elk.

SHOULD TAKE NO CHANCES
Badger Corn Growers Should Test Seed
Corn.

The value Oh the field crops of Wis
consln is estimated at 500, 900, 900 an
nualiy and this great valuation can be
Increased one-forth or S25, aC0, 900 by
careful grading and testing of seeds, !"
says Prof. K. A. Moore, of the College
OF Agricultural, University of Wiscon-
SIN, IN urging the Importance of test
ing seed. There is no seed which
varies more in quality and vitality than
corn, and the farmers cannot afford to
take the risk of planting INFESTED or
ungraded seed. A few hours of care
ful work may mean double the yield for
the year.
To test seed corn requires simply a
shallow box or pan in which clean saw
dust may be placed and moistened.
The selected grains of corn from tin.
center and butt of each ear are placed
on its surface and covered with several
thlcknesses of wet cloths. This box
should be set in warm place and the
grains allowed to sprout. Boiling the
saw dust will prevent molds appearing
to interfere with the test.
A bushel of seed will plant six or
seven acres, and few poor ears in that
amount will cause a very uneven stand.
Five or six bushels of corn can be
tested by the ear method in two or
three hours if they are spread out in
rows on long tables and numbered to
correspond with the grains that are
placed in the testing box. The remove
of one or two bad ears from.each bushel
may mean uniform crop, as compared
with one that has many vacant patches.
Every farmer should carefully grade
his seed as well as test it, so that only
well formed, vigorous grain is used for
planting. The seed buyer should n
sist on purchasing the seed corn in the
ear, and the scoop shovel method of
handling seed corn, taking it at random
from the bin, should be carefully avoided.

SELF or SCHOOL EDUCATION

Someone has said that one of,the adj
vautages OF self education is that the
man thus educated keeps up the pro-
cess until he dies. whereas the product
Of the school is apt to stop when he
stops going to school. The haDit Of
self education IS powerful, like all
habits, The perfection of education
would be to mix both processes and
then the scholar would alwa n continue
a student.
Mental dry rot sets IN with every
man when he thinks he no longer needs
to learn. - Governor Hoard.
