neighborhood to locate IN an adjacent

farms have sold them to men from
older settled parts OF this state or TO

on William Gunsell has erected Sim
liar building and one OF the largest
and most expensive of the kind in the
country. This mammoth crib is 36x31
feet with 16ffoot corners. It's arrange
ment is similar to that of the one
above described and it's capacity is
5000 bushels An unusual arrange
ment is found in the bracing. A 4x6
contemplate extends the entire length
OF the building about five feet above
the granary floor and another one
about seven feet lower, or Just below
the joists. The two are connected by
n Inch rods placed at intervals thru
out the length. The upper one is
braced with Axe timbers which ex-
tend on each side to 3x6 studding to
which is bolted 2x12 tie extending
the full width of the crib. The lower
point of this brace is on a level will:
the upper floor. The cribs are tied
with 2x10's. Both these buildings
stand on cement walls reinforced with
iron rods, and when completed will
have cement driveways. The cost of
the Duncan crib will foot up about
$1,000, and,tMr Gunseil will have about
$500 invested in his when it is fin
iShed.
If every farmer in the country is
using the same precaution that many
here are taking there ought to be no
doubt about the seed corn when plant
ing time arrives. They are using num-
bered boxes, taking three grains from
different parts of each ear, placing
them in the box and then numbering
the ear. Entering farm house where
this work is going on the visitor meets
with an apology for the Uttered up"
appearance of the room, notices a big
shallow box. a basket or two of corn a
lot Of little square papers on the table
and an array of neatly arranged, label
ed ears OF corn. The wife. or daughter
usually does the labelling. numbering
and arranging and the farmer the rest
o. the job. One man had box large
enough to test two bushels of ears at
time. He expects to plant sixty acres
of cerr and therefore if bis seed proves
To- be good he viii need to make four
separate tests. This requires some
work but as it may mean the difference
between a crop and half crop next
fall it would pay to go to the trouble
If ii were several times as great as
it is
One farmer concluded to try an orig
inal seed corn experiment the other
day. He divided a small box into three
compartments. In one he planted some
corn that was taken from his field be-
fore the first fall freze In another
seed corn selected during husking time,
and in the other, some taken from his
crib recently. All three kinds were
planted at the same time A few days
afterward il was seen that the corn
from the early saved seed was about
three or four inches high and that
nearly every grain planted had pro-
3uced stalk. The kind saved in late
fail was about half as high as the other
and about half the seed had grown
The other was just coming thru the
ground and was as thin as it was small.
The experiment has convinced the man
who made it that strong seed means
quick growth in the same proportion
that it does a good stand

CLAWS 4 CLEVER WITNESS
Matches Dates with Mr.. Vertrees
and Wins Point at Hearing.

Louis R. CLAWS once more displayed
his cleverness as q witness in the Ballin-
ger-Pinchot inquiry yesterday when Mr.
Fertrees endeavored to show that the
witness was dilatory il resuming his in
vestigation of the Alaska coal cases after
he had been ordered to suspend them be-
cause the department appropriation was
running low
Mr.. Vertrees spent nearly half an hour
on this point, and quoted a letter from
Commissioner bennett, on May 2S, 1908
informing CLAWS that a new appropria-
ton was available, and instructing him
to push the work"
Mr.. Vertrees insisted that this was vir-
tually blanket order and embraced the
Alaska coal cases, but finally CLAWS
called attention TO a letter written by
II. II. Schwartz to Commissioner bennett
on September % Of the same year, ex-
pressing his belief that the Cunningham
claims were fraudulent. and asking that
CLAWS be allowed to resume his investi-
cation OF them.
Counsel for Secretary Ballinger en-
Forestry Bureau to have hearings in the
Cunningham cases postponed and assist
him In investigating them after he had
been Informed that he would be supplant-
ed by special agent James NJ. Sheridan.
CLAWS denied that this was so. and said
that while he received notification that
he would be relieved on July he sub
quently received a telegram which he in
terpreted to mean that the previous order
had been revoked, and it was after the
receipt OF this last telegram that he wired
the Forestry Bureau to intervene.
When adjournment was taken until
Friday morning CLAWS was being ques-
toned about the change in the rules Of
the department relating TO coal land
cases He declared that standing alone.
the changes made would not appear sig
niicant or wrong, but viewed in con-
nection with the manner in which the
General Land Office handled the coal
cases during a long period the changes
were particularly significant He de-
clined TO state. however. that the changes
involved wrong doing on the part of any
one in the Land Office.

London Stock Exchange Sees
RiOtOuS Trading.

London. Feb. 16.-The boom in rubber
shares which has excited the stock ex-
change for some time. has reached un-
expected dimensions, exceeding any In
recent times.
The demand is due to the public reallz-
ing that rubber can be prohtably cult
waited in parts of the world where it is
not yet grown. such as in Ceylon and the
Malay states. Numerous companies have
been formed, and some have already de-
clared big dividends.
Each day sees riotous excitement in the
section of the exchange devoted to trad
ing in rubber shares. The brokers are
making huge profits.
The public is buying furiously Many
persons who bought shares some time ago
and sold out at a handsome profit are
now rebuying shares at double the former

The Navy Department yesterday aban-
doned hope of finding the naval tug Nina.
which has been missing since February
6. when she sailed from Hampton Roads
bound for Boston.
In reply TO inquiries from friends and
relatives of the men on board the Nina.
the department sent kilograms saying it
was believed the Nina foundered either
on the afternoon or night of Sunday, Feb
ruary 6, the day she left Norfolk. between
Hog Island and Winter quarter ShoaL
Crew of Thirty-twO Lost.
There were thirty-two men on board the
Nina, She was in command of Chief
Boatswain John s. CroghaH. L. S n. The
Nina was last seen at noon the day she
left Norfolk by the steamer Howard, Of
the Merchants and Miners Transporta-
tiou Company. about nine miles southeast
of Hog Island
She was then being battered by q heavy
sea which was pounding over her bow.
The most plausible theory is that her
hatch covering became unshipped. and
water poured into her forward hold, caus-
ing her to sink.
The battle ship Louisiana and the scout
cruiser Salem. which have been search
ing for the Nina off the Virginia coast,
will probably be called in to-day.
The tug reported at Montauk Point at
the east end Of Long Island by the
Whaleback. Bay View. was not the Nina,
according to a dispatch received at the
Navy Department yesterday from Rear
Admiral Joseph B. Murdock commandant

She was the tug Apache. which was

for traces Of the Nina. The torpedo de-
stroyer Lamson reported she had eruised
in the vicinity Of the east end Of Long

Found No Tidings.
From the Boston Navy Yard came
word that the Caesar and Castine had
found no tidings Of the missing craft,
and the Culgoa had Jared no better
Assistant Secretary Winthrop sent these
kilograms TO the New York and Boston
navy yards;
New York Navy Yard, New York:
Discontinue search for Nina in your dis
trict- Recall Culgoa and direct her pro-
ceed Guantanamo when ready"
Navy yard, Boston: Search for Nina

From the collector OF customs at New
port News came an inquiry to the navy
from relatives and friends OF the men
aboard the Nina asking for develop
ments of the search. Mr.. Winthrop re-
piled:
Believe Nina foundered February or
between Hog Island and Winter Quar-
ter Shoal Have no definite news Of her
or Of any survivors. Shall continue search
in that vicinity until assured It is Of no
further use"
