Coino Astray at Sea.

The difficulty of keeping modern
steamship on straight course is no
slight one. The helnsman steers by
the compass, and, while single de-
gree of deviation appears very small
on the compass card. it would If con-
dnued carry a fast steamship four
miles out of her course in a single
days run. Yet the compass gives the
course more accurately than the ship
can be steered. Owing to the defect
ing power Of the waves and the roll
ing of the ship. which if she is of the
twin screw type causes first one of her
propellers and then the other to exert
greater effect, the course is continual

mated against in scoring exhibits. The
seed should be deep, but 1t must also
be Of medium width and thickness, for
upon this depend the size Of the germ
and the amount Of food stored in the
seed for the early maintenance Of the
plant. But sometimes seeds Of good
width and thickness have small germs
and should therefore be rejected in IA
vor of seeds Of the same form. but
with larger germs.
Badly matured seeds sometimes pre-
sent small, blister-like eminences over
the germ. due to separation of the
cuticle from its attachment. Again, II
the whole area over the germ Is deeply
sunken it indicates lack Of maturity
and consequent excessive shrinkage.
Failure Of the grain to separate readi-
" from the cob Is another indication
Of lack Of ripeness. A brown or pink
discoloration about the germ or the at
tached end of the seed is very objec-
tionable, as is also the presence of
mold or rotten seeds.

Salt For the Animals.

Salt is necessary to the health and
thrift Of domestic animals, and they
should have 1t in winter as well as in
summer. They need more Of 1t proba-

quires more or less Of it all the time.
A good plan is to keep salt In shell

FARMERS BOYS AND GIRLS

Clubs 10 Interest Thorn In Work . Re-
cant Development.
Within recent years new method
Of agricultural education has been de
vised in the form sf boys and girls
clubs. Such clubs hare various OBJ
jects, but usually they provide for
prize contests among the members.
Corn growing contests are probably
the most common among the boys,
although many other crops have been
tried. while the girls compete in bread
making or sewing or even test their
skill against that OF the boys In gar
dening.
The United States department of
agriculture has information of 395
counties in twenty-eight states In
which such clubs are organized, with
a total membership Of about Ia, 600.
New York has about $4,000 members.
Nebraska 25.oOO and other states
smaller numbers. One county In
Pennsylvania has aO0O members. In
most cases these clubs are organized
under the auspices Of some state au,
thority, but in many cases the county
superintendent takes the initiative,
while In many other cases the rural
teachers arrange contests among their
own pupils.
The United States department OF
agriculture also gives assistance
through the Office Of experiment sta
tions by furnishing advice and sug-
gestions. A new farmers bulletin on
boys and girls agricultural clubs
tells how to organize the clubs, how
to conduct the contests and what pub
lications will be useful to the boyt
and girls.

ries Of years then the objections 60
not hold. for, while we cannot tell
what may happen during any particu-
Lar season, We can foretell with con-
siderable accuracy what the average
conditions will be over series, say,
Of ten years. Tho whole business Of
insurance II based on the reliability Of
averages. It cannot be foretold Just
who out Of thousand persons will
die next year, but 1t can be stated
with much certainty about how many
persons out Of the Thousand will die.
Plans for the farm likewise must rep
resent and be based on average condi-
tons and not on single years. The
farm plan must be made for period
Of years and not for a single year.
In replanning a farm 1t Is essential
that a few fundamental points in
farming be kept constantly in mind:
First.-The plan should provide a
reasonable reward Tor the labor and
capital invested.
Eecond.-The fertility Of the farm
should be maintained or increased.
Third.-The plan must be suited to
the capabilities Of the owner for car
rying 1t out
It Is assumed that In order to replan
a farm for profit it is necessary to
consider the capabilities of the farmer
to put the new plan into effect. This
in general will render it necessary to
recombine the phases OF farming with
which he is already familiar or to
bring in new features which are not
very dissimilar to the ones he IS al
ready accustomed to.

Judqina Corn Seeds.

One OF the first points a Judge OF
corn should give attention to is the
seed condition Of samples. Is the
germ sound, and will it produce a
good plant? A termination test is the
best means Of settling these questions,
but unfortunately cannot be employed
while one is judging corn shows. The
farmer should test every ear he plants.
II the germ Is slender and small the
plant IL likely to lack vitality. Thin
seeds tapering to their attachment pro-
duce weak germs. and consequently
ears with such seeds must be discrim

"Graustark."

Graustark, !" a dramatization Of Geo.
Barr McCutcheon's novel by Geo. D.
Baker, comes to Reynolds Opera House
Friday night, Feb. #, direct from con-
quests Of New York Boston, Chicago,
Philadelphia and Pittsburg.
No play has 50 electrified the theatre
cal world in decade, and much inter-
est is shown in the coming presenta-
ton. The book has been widely read
and many are familiar with the capti-
waiting story 1t deals with the adyen-
lures of daring American and prin-
cess and unfolds narrative OF A Love
Behind a Throne The play is in five
acts and mounted with lavish equip
ment OF scenic effects and costumes,
and interpreted by d cast Of players that
are seldom seen away from the E4oad-
way theatres.
Both company and play have been
showered with praise by critics in other
cities, and it is said that "Graustark'
sets standard by which all dramatized
novels will be judged in the future
Mr. McCutcheon has given us a
play that surpasses his 'Brewster's Mil
lions. What will he do next2" says
critic. There is no doubt Of what this
author can do, and his readers are anx-
iously awaiting the date Of Grau-
stark $" engagement in this city, and it
should prove to be the theatrical event
Of the season. The play is in five acts
and an elaborate scenic equipment,
painted by Castle & Harvey in their
New York studio, is carried.

The Review Club Of this city IS 10 be
congratulated upon the cienevieve Smith
Concert Company performance al Rey-
holds Opera House last Saturday night.
This entertainment was supplied by
Mr.. Rice in order 10 reinstate himself
with his clients for having disappointed
them in the CIuxson show early IN the
season. Those who held season tickets
were admitted Saturday night free, and
the result was a we'll pleased audience.
Miss Smith was the harpist, She had
fine instrument and she knew how to
play it. The selections were principally
popular numbers, but they were de-
cidedly beautiful in her hands One OF
the very interesting ones was her read
ing and musicss accompaniment, but
the last, the sextette from Lucia, was
treat worth the admission price Of the
whole performance.
The pianist is also finished musi-
clan, but she did not attempt anything
extraordinary for the reason that the
piano was not adapted to concert work.
She might just as well have told us so
as to look that way. Shecould have re-
lieyed the reader just at that time when
the boy asked his sweetheart If she ever
saw a rat hole, not that the reader did
not know how to say it, but the other
one was in a more appropriate mood
The lady, however, can compel you to
listen. She has the talent and the true
conception of her, musical work, and
her fingers drift over the keyboard with
out the formality Of an introduction
The reader, the good looking little
one, so the boys say, could read and
she could bring laughter and tears to
suit her convenience. Her selections
were also very good.
The patrons Of the course congratu-
late the Review Club in their work, and
pledge themselves hereafter to not be
given to fault finding
Mr., Gardner made short prelimi-
nary address explaining the purposes Of
he club, saying, by the way, that the
hubs handwriting was a little inarticu-
ate. We presume the Mayor left his
rood pair OF glasses at home.
