vALUe OF SEED CORN TEST
Adds Materially to Yield-Sim-

An increased yield of corn can be
secured by testing each ear before
planting and rejecting those ears that
do not terminate or show lack Of
vigor or vitality. It is not such a
tedious and difficult task to test each
ear of seed corn as farmers are some
times led to believe. Fifteen average
ears of corn will plant one acre using
four kernels to the bill, placing the
corn three and one-half feet apart
between the rows. When the import

hotel, under an assumed name, un-
able to beg credit even for his break
fast without declaring his identity and
thereby laying himself open to suspi-
cion, discourtesy, insult.
OF course there were ways out. He
could telephone Bannerman, or any
other of half dozen acquaintances, in
the morning; but that involved expla-
nations, and explanations involved
making himself the butt of his circle

There was money in his lodgings,

At the head of his bed was a tele-

There was slight pause; a buzz;
the voice of the switchboard opera
tor below stairs repeating the number
to central; central's appropriately
mechanical reiteration; another buzz;
silence; a prolonged buzz; and again
the sounding silence.
"Hello!" he said, softly, into the
transmitter, at a venture.
No answer.
"Hello!"
Then central, irritably: go ahead.
You've got your party"
Hello, hello!"
A faint hum of voices, rising and
falling, beat against the walls of his
understanding Were the wires
crossed? He lifted an impatient finger
to jiggle the hook and call central to
order, when-something crashed
heavily. He could have likened the
sound, without strain of imagination,
to chair being violently overturned.

mouths enough. Regular exercise for
the teeth is as beneficial as any other

He found from an examination of
several hundred savages' teeth that
the increased work which their teeth
had been made to do had resulted ben.
eficially for their teeth. It was also
fact that the front teeth of savages
were more worn than those of civil

what flaw in the body social should

The sheer loveliness of her, her

Gen. Clarence Edwards, chief Of the
insular bureau Of the war department,
tells how an Irish corporal got even
with an unpopular post commander
in Cuba. This post commander,
though an excellent soldier, was some
thing of crank. He had two hob
bies. One was that the liberal use of
whitewash was the best possible pre-
ventive of disease, and the other was
a pet famingo, an ill-natured bird that
was disliked heartily by the enlisted
men because 1t never overlooked an
opportunity to nip one Of them.
One day the post commander had to
go to Havana, but he could not en-
dure the thought that anyone should
be idle In his absence. 1t had been
fully q week since any whitewashing
had been done, so he issued an order
that "all articles pertaining to the
camp not sheltered from the weather"
should be whitewashed. The Irish
corporal was intrusted with the execu-
ton Of the order.
The post commander returned next
day, and pretty soon the air was fair.
