Foes Only During Debate.

The late John j. Ingalls,, sena-

senate one day about COnkIing,
Hancock and several other dis

were particularly severe.

There was more of the same
kind, and everybody thought
there would be trouble, inasmuch
as ingalls, was high spirited and
Blackburn unafraid.
After the senate adjourned
Blackburn and ingalls, met, face

The Really Curious Thing

President Stryker of Hamilton
College, discussing Theodore
Roosevelt, the topic of the times
by common consent, says:
In New York he is one think
and in Kansas another. In
Massachusetts he EN- bra C e s
Lodge, in Indiana he put his arms
around Beverage. In New
York he talks against bosses and
in Cincinnati he kisses them.
One of the most curious things
is that he does not realize how
funny he is.
Col. Roosevelt is not without a
sense of humor. Perhaps he
does realize that his recent la
bors in the field of psuedo re-
form are not withious thing is
that so small a proportion of the
people fail to grasp the fact that
the cratorical fiip-haps he has
been doing since summer consti-
tute entertainment for the audi
tor whose appreciation of comedy
is well developed rather than a
convincing argument to persons
who have taken him seriously as
a reformer.
The Colonel is "a amoosin'
cuss." We enjoy his perform
ance immensely, But we should
like to be excused from taking
him seriously as anything but an
advocate Of the eminence of
Theodore Roosevelt.

Ice as Fuel.

A cade of ice at % degrees
Fahrenheit is ordinarily consid-
cred to be a rather cold SUBJ
stance, but it is as much hotter
than liquid air as the oven in
which bread is baked is hotter
than the ice.
A tea kettle partly filled with
liquid air and placed on a cake
of ice receives so much heat from
the ice that the liquid air soon
boils vigorously, and the boiling
can be made more violent by
adding a few Jumps of ice.
If the normal temperature of
the earth were at the freezing
point of air and we could obtain
a block of ice such as is distri-
buted by the iceman of today
such ice could be used as fuel
and would be put into the fur
naces instead of coal. Popular

Selecting the seed Cora.

At this time of the year there
is nothing so important to the
farmers of the country as the
selection of a supply of good seed
corn. The USE of a little care in
the selecting, curing and testing
of seed corn will result in a great
Increase in the total yield of this
crop, and its Importance can not
be too strongly emphasized.
Professor r. A. Moore of the
University of Wisconsin Expert
ment Station, has just written a
circular which gives the neces-
sary details in compact form:
The first steps toward better
seed corn for next year must be
taken in the fall by selecting the
seed ears from the stalks in the
field" says Professor Moore.
The corn should be allowed to
mature well on the stalk. By Sc
lecting the earliest maturing ears
and picking them from the stalk
as soon as the husks begin to
turn yellow. which is a common
practice. earliness is secured at
the expense of vitality.
"A slight frost viii not injure
corn if it is well matured and il
is better to run the risk of &
: frost than to pick the ears toe
early. The latter part of the
. growing season seems to i'm
prove the vitality of the corr
greatly.
Scare should be taken in pick
ing seed to secure ears which
are attached to the stalk about
three feet above the ground
The Adair County news. [volume] (Columbia, Ky.) 1897-1987, 1910-11-09
Those ears which grow either

Those ears which grow either
high or very low upon the stalk
should be rejected as they are
undesirable, having character
istics which we do not desire.
For the same reason we should
avoid ears with very short or
long shanks or from deformed
stalks.
Go into the field after the
husks on the ears have turned
yellow and select the well form
ed ears from good stalks. Put
them in sacks or baskets and
bring them to the side of the
field and husk. 1t is we'll to fol-
low definite rows in securing
seed corn, otherwise a large num-
Der of good ears are missed.
After the corn is husked many
ears will be found imperfect and
should be discarded. Only'those
ears should be retained for curing
for seed that are of good form.
Seed corn should be put into the
proper place for curing the same
day that is taken from the field"

Black Snake and Boa Mate.

A huge boa constructor, which
escaped from Ringing Brothers
circus at Monticello ten years
ago, is believed to have mated
with a black snake, creating a
specimen of the reptile family
which does not appear in the
encyclopedia. At least that is
the opinion of men who claim to
be authority on snakes and their
habits.
The discovery was made by
Duane Kerr, a farmer, while at
work on piece of wild land.
He unearthed a nest of snakes
and by the use of dynamite kill
ed five of them. The largest
measured sevon feet, FIVE inches.
The snakes are Of a blackish
color and distinctly notified.

Proud Of His Prospects.

Louis Pierre was one Of num-
Der of Canadian immigrants who
settled at Fitzgerald, Ga. AS he
spoke both French and English,
he rapidly became a man of i'm
portance, and was successfully
elected to the Offices of city mar
shall, coroner and justice of the
peace.
A dispute arose between the
French and English settlers as to
the superiority of the United
States over the Canadian provin-
ces. They finally agreed to leave
the decision to Judge Pierre, who
handed down this decision.
