Raid at Orchard.

Orchard News: Sheriff Miller and
County Attorney Rice were in Orchard
on Tuesday with complaints against
local parties on the charge of selling
liquor. A search was made of one
business house and three barrels of
Cream of Hops" found and confiscat-
ed. The proprietor was, however, re-
leased on his own recogniZance, to APP
pear at the next term of the district
court, after having waived preliminary
examination before the justice. The
wet goods found belong in the class of
socalled temperance drinks, and it is
generally believed that the party is
entirely innocent of willful violation
of the law. Two other parties were,
however, taken to Neigh where they
were released on bonds for their APP
pearance at district court.

TESTING Seed Corn.

The Nebraska university has issued
the following bulletin ON testing seed
corn:
Testing every ear of seed corn Will
cost about to 10 cents per acre. and
may mean ; to 10 bushels per acre
increased yield. DO it now before the
rush of farm work I'm many parts
of the state not one-half the seed corn
Will grow. Reports from farmers insti.
tutes in various sections indicate that
the vitality is very low.
First make preliminary test of
your seed. Select 100 ears at ran
dom. Take three grains from each
ear, each grain from a different part.
Place 300 grains in termination box.
Use any shallow box for a germinator.
Place Sawdust, sand or soil in the
bottom. Cover with clean oloth or
Dlotter. Scatter grains, cover with an
other cloth or blotter and put some
more sawdust, sand or soil on top.
Wet down thoroughly and keep in a
warm place. Grain should be sprouted
in to days. If 80 per cent of the
grains terminate in the preliminary
test your corn is safe to plant. If
less than S5 per cent terminate, it
Will pay to make the ear test.
Lay out all your seed ears side
by side on floor. shelves. or boards.
You should have at least ~ ears for
each acre. Keep them in such order
that you can easily locate any ear
after test is completed. This is easily
done by marking the ears which oc-
cupy the first space of each row in
the tester. 1t may also be done by
numbering each ear to CORRESPOND
with the number of the squares i'm the
tester. Prepare the termination box
by placing to 3 inches of sawdust
sand or soil in the bottom. Cover
with white cloth marked in pinch
squares.
Remove kernels from each ear
two from near the butt, two from the
middle and two from near the tin
Turn the ear partly around each time
Place the grains from each ear in
the termination box in the same order
that you have the ears laid ont. Re-
move the kernels with a knife blade
and be careful not to injure the germs.
Cover the kernels with a cloth. and
over this place some sawdust sand
or soil. Keep well moistened and In
warm room. In a to DAVIS qer,ni-
nation should be complete. Discard
all the ears that have not shown a
good, strong termination.
A handy rack for driving seed corn
and for keeping track of the ears in
testing may be made by the use of
2x4s and heavy smooth wire. The
ears in the rack correspond TO the
squares in the germinator. so that
il is not necessary to number either

The time is not yet ripe for the ad-
vent OF the automobile in Yellowstone
Park. In answer to petitions requesting
their admission into the National Park
Secretary Ballinger has decided that II
is not feasible because OF the danger in
volved to the beauty Of the park and
the safety Of patrons.
Every year similar petitions reach the
Interior Department, but they have been
invariably rejected on the ground that
favorable action would sacrifice the
pleasure Of the majority for the benefit
of the few. In addition to the injury
to the roads which would result. the
narrowness OF the driveways, built ir
some cases in solid rock. would make the
admission of the automobile hazardous
in the opinion Of the department. A
machine would probably be unable to
PASS a stage coach met on the way.

traverse its paths. and the entrance OF
new motive power would naturally
Brighten them. The stage horses, un-
used to the sight OF an automobile
would likewise be seized with fear and
endanger the lives Of passengers. 1t is
not believed that automobiles will be
admitted to Yellowstone Park until a
separate roadway is built for them.

he will be turned over to the police
from that. city, unless the offer of a
reward here proves tempting to the New

the prisoner admitting his identity, the
police think, indicates that he prefers to
return here for trial rather than be taken
to Chicago.
1t is more than probable that he will
have to answer charges in both cities
sooner or later. Inspector Boardman
