OPPORTUNITIES CLOSE BY.

With the present rapid movement of
population to the western states and
the quite complete occupation Of the
choicest areas, the writer is convinced,
as are many others, that the young
man seeking new field would do well
ITO look over carefully opportunities In
the central and New England states,
particularly along the line Of twenty to
thirty acre tracts, which may be work
Cd intensfvely to garden truck, small
fruits and poultry. The relative value
Of such tracts, which may be had at
very reasonable prices, would depend
chiefly upon the workable character
and fertility Of the soil and nearness
TO market where the produce of the
farm could be disposed Of at good
prices. Many an easterner is operat.
ing just such areas as these In the
manner indicated and Is not only max
ing living for himself and family, but
IL accommodating d snug bank account.
One could readily get track OF such
tract by sending three line advertise
ment to any agricultural paper OF gen
eral circulation published i'm the section
in which one wishes to locate.

SHOULD PLAY SAFE.

Considering the deplorable condition
i'm which seed corn IL admitted TO be
for the coming seasons planting, 1t
will De the height of folly for any
corn grower to plant seed from any
ears that have not been given q care
full individual test. There are sew
eral types of testing racks and boxes
ON the market which are very handy,
but the homemade tester will answer
the purpose very well if one hasn't the
price. The idea tn be carried out Is
to take at least six kernels from each
ear, so arranging the testing box that
one has an accurate reference between
the six kernel groups and the ear from
which the groups were taken. Perhaps
the most convenient means Of doing
this Is by fixing a shallow box as long
and broad as desired and about five
inches deep, spreading moist earth or
saWdust in the bottom to the depth OF
two inches and on this placing piece
of white cloth about ten inches larger
than the box all around, which has
been marked off i'm squares of about
i'm consecutive order. The ears from
which the kernels are taken should
be in such order that the operator will
know from which ear each group of
six kernels is taken. When the
squares ali have their quotas Of six
kernels each a piece Of cloth Of about
the same size as the first should be
~
when this has been placed SO as to
cover all the kernels and with edges
extending outside the box q third cloth
should be laid on, and on this should
be spread the sawdust or other ma
terial which il to be used, and this
moistened sufficiently so as to make
termination possible. When loaded
the testing box should be placed i'm a
warm room, and when il has stood
about week the covering should be
raised at the corner, and if the ger
mination has proceeded far enough to
tell the story the first cloth, with the
saWdust, should be carefully removed.
The cloth Immediately over the seed
can then be removed without disturb
ing or di-locatilg the kernels which lie
beneath, when the story OF the ger
minating power Of the ears will be
plainly told. IL deciding which ears
to eliminate ii is just as necessary to |
discard ears whose kernels show weak |
vitality as those which fail to ger
inmate Mt all. Only those should be
selected which show vigorous root and |
shoot development i'm at least five out |
Of six kernels. If the scarcity of seed |
corn necessitates the use of ears show
ing only four good kernels, this fact
should be Kept in mind in selecting
plates for the planter boxes, as more
seed will have to be used to secure
the desired stand. Unless a careful
method Of testing individual ears like
that outlined above is followed there
will be thousands OF fields OF corn
next season that will have half a
stand Of corn or less.

This contractor got results.

Some years ago a contractor build
ing railroad in a warm climate was
troubled great deal by sickness
among the laborers.
He turned his attention at once to
their food and found that they were
getting full rations Of meat and were
drinking water from a stream near BY.
He issued orders to cut down the
amount OF meat and TO increase greatly
the quantity of Quaker Oats fed to tie
men.
He also boiled Quaker Oats and
mixed the thin oatmeal water with
their drinking water. Almost instantly
al signs Of stomach disorders passed
and his men showed decided improve
ment In strength and spirits. This con
tractor had experience that taught him
the great value of good oatmeal. 4
The cost was small; 1Oc for regular
size packages; it il also packed III her
metically sealed tins for hot climates.

LINIMENTS.

An aching back is instantly
relieved by an application of
Sloan's Liniment.
This liniment takes the place
of massage and is better than
sticky plasters. 1t penetrates
without rubbing through
the skin and muscular tissue
right to the bone, quickens the
blood, relieves congestion, and
gives permanent as well as
temporary relief.
Here's the Proof.
