Is 10 important to Know terminating
Qualities CT Stock.
As rule. American gardeners pay
very little attention 10 seed testing.
depending mostly upon the seeds they
buy as being strong and fresh. How
ever, very often considerable quaint
ties Of seed are carried over from one
season to another. and these are OF
more value than any new supplies, be-
cause We have proved them by actual
cropping on our land and under our
conditions. Hence it is very impor-
tant TO know the terminating qualities
Of such stock to avoid losses or delays.
There are several methods OF seed
testing in common use-placing seeds
between layers of moist cloth. sowing
in sand and sowing into ground. Each
has its proper place and time. How
ever. unless test Is carefully carried
out it is worthless. Thus the opera
tor must know the degree Of heat and
amount of moisture most suitable. The
same treatment will not do for all.
We must try to get as near as possible
at natural conditions.
seeds are very difficult to sprout in
winter. and the nearer we approach
their natural sprouting season the bet
ter the test. while others again refuse
to sprout in great heat, such as the
summer months. Thus we see n test
made out Of season may prove entirely
worthless or, worse than that. very
misleading.
During the winter months the sand
test is the best, as seeds sprout more
readily in clean sand than in moist
earth, and the sand gives enough root
action to allow us to judge Of the
strength Of the young plants, which
the moist cloth test does not permit
The depth at which seeds should be
tested must be decided upon according
to season. Thus in the dark winter
months very little covering is permits
sible, while later on more covering il
needed to allow for higher tempera
lures and rapid experimentation

CkRBOLIC ACID.

This lrr,tant Poison

Peculiar Effect Pure Alcohol Has en-
This irr,tant Poison.
One Of the most frequent irritant
poisons used for suicidal purposes is
carbolic acid. and n more agonizing
death could not be selected. Why
any one shonld select this poison it is
hard to understand unless on account
of the fact that 1t is cheap and easily
obtainable. This form of poisoning
can usually be easily recognized by
the odor. which is we'll known, and
by the white burns or marks on the
lips and mouth, which are typical Of
carbolic acid poisoning.
Send for the nearest physician. and
in the meantime. as carbolic acid kills
quickly. the first aid tratrient must
be prompt in order TO get .esults. If
possible cause the patient TO vomit by
giving an emetic. such as ipecac or
salt and water. tablespoonful, to a
pint of warm water. This. however.
frequently fails to work on account
Of the irritated condition OF the mu-
Cous membrane of the stomach. One
Of the best chemical antidotes is ep-
som salt in solution. Another good
chemical antidote is alcohol. the only
trouble with this remedy being that
it cannot be given in a pure form II
has to be diluted with water and for
that reason loses its efficacy.
Just exactly why alcohol counter
acts the effect OF carbolic acid is not
known. but If. for instance. carbolic
acid Is splashed on the hands and they
are AZ once immersed in absolute alec.

".NobodyKnowsHow DryIAm"
Sang the State Legislators

After these incidents had transpired
resolutions thanking everybody for
their courteous treatment of every
body else were passed, and the bali
bearing hack, vulgarly known as the
omnibus. was called into service and
loaded down with house bills which
were passed in order to make the
members of the house feel that their
talents had not been buried in nap

Finally "Boba da Proc the most
prolific little legislator Elkhart ever
produced, tried 10 stir up some merri-
ment. A quartet was formed which

Scenes of hilarity marked the clos
ing hours of the session on the house
side. There was no business on the
speakers desk to be transacted and
the members enlivened the hours of
waiting by turning the dignified cham
Der into a play house.
Speeches by Booth Harrington and

The Gentleman from Indiana.
The author visited the chamber in

of 1903. Cravens moved the appoint

platform the distinguished author
former member of the house and Amer
lean citizen" The chair delegated the
task to Representatives Cravens and
Wasmuth, who succeeded in carrying
out their instructions with the assist
ance of Senator Fleming. Although
literally taken off his feet by the
warmth of the reception the former
gentleman from Indiana" kept his
cigarette and his good humor and
arose smiling when Senator Fleming
moved that he give his views on wo
mans suffrage.

1912 Electoral COLLEGE,.

The reapportionment bill passed by
the house May will not become eff
fective until March, 1913, and hence
will have no effect upon the electoral
college of 1912. That college could be
affected by the admission of New Mex
leo and Arizona. with three votes each
but it is impossible that they will be
permitted to enter the union It the
extra session.
1t is probable, therefore, that the
electoral college will stand unchanged
in 1912 and that the votes of the states
win be: Alabama II. Arkansas 9, Cali
