Farm Wisdom.

II you are compelled to trot your
horses either up or down hill trot them
UP hill. 1t won't hurt them half 30
much as to hurry them down hill.
If you don't want to cheat anybody
and don't want anybody to cheat you
have your own scales and weigh things
you sell and things you buy.
Keep your buildings insured, but
don't let the company do all there Is to
1t. Take good care yourself.
Raise your own cows If you want
good ones.
Take something to sell every time
you go to town. Bring back little
more money than you took.
Don't work hard to earn money and
then fritter 1t away for things that
never will do anybody any good.
Good money laid out In tools calls for
care in sheltering.-Far Journal.

The STORING
OF SEED CORN
Precautions to Observe to In

There are only three necessary con-
dltions for storing seed corn, and n

air about each ear to carry away the
surplus moisture.
A temuerature must be maintained
above freezing until the seed Is thor
oughly dry.
Seed corn must be selected early
enough so tnat It may have plenty of
time to dry before cold weather.
Numerous tests OF seed corn have
been made. or all the thousands of
samples tested, those that were taken
from house attic, where there was
good circulation OF mir, gave the
highest per cent OF termination. Sec.
ond In per cent OF termination was
seed corn stored In cellar In which
there was heating plant. Cellars
without furnaces are usually damp
and undesirable for storing, Samples
of seed corn stored in oat bins, on
porches, under the caves OF barns and
in open sheds have also been tested
and they usually gave tests too low
for the seed to be of value for plant
ing, 1t is easily seen that seed corn
kept in an attic or an unused second
story room can have the required con,
ditions for drying-namely, good cir
culntion OF mir and an even tempera-
ture above the freezing point.

DAVID GARRIcK.
The Great Actors Art and His Wife's
Ruffled Feelings.

Ruffled Feelings.
Mrs. Garrick's admiration Of her
husbands dramatic talents was In
tense, and on his great nights she
would. hang over her box next the
stage in rapturous delight. The one
flaw in her idol, she claimed. was a
taste for low life. for which she blamed
him greatly, insisting that he loved
better to play Scrub to low lived
audience than one of his superior char
acters before an audience of taste.
On one particular occasion she was
in her box In the theater when Gar
rick's impersonation of Richard Ill.
was applauded to the echo. In that
day farce followed the tragedy Of the
evening. and as Mrs. Garrick rose to
leave before 1t her husband came to
the box to say he had some business
In the greenroom which would detain
him, so most unwillingly the lady was
Obliged to acquiesce and remain
through the closing entertainment.
This proved to be comical series OF
laundering adventures which had be-
fallen countrymap who had left his
farm to see London and on his return
gave his neighbors an account Of the
wonders he had met.
This characterization was received
with such peals Of applause that Mrs
Garrick, ever jealous of her husbands
fame. began TO think 1t rivaled those
lately lavished on Richard Ill. Her
feelings were nearly worked up TO fe-
yer heat when she was attracted by
the frantic efforts Of her little spaniel
