constipation Is responsible for most all
nents. There are 20 feet of human
bowels. which Is really a sewer pipe.
When this pipe becomes clogged the
whole system becomes poisoned, caus-
ing biliousness, indigestion and impure
blood, which often produce rheumatism
and kidney ailments. No woman who
suffers with constipation or any liver
.ilment can expect to have a clear
complexion or enjoy good health. II

Of ninetenths Of the cathartics that are

poon destroy the lining Of the stomach

and so paralyze the bowels that they re-

SOLDIER OF FORTUNE
Gen. Christmas a Dumas Char

Turned From Railroad Because OF
Color Blindness, He Became an
AimIess Wanderer Whose Only
Business Was Revolution.

New Orleans, La-Gen Lee Christ.

Born in Livingston Parish, La.
Christmas grew up nursing a we'll
grounded ambition to become an en-
gineer on one of the big eisht-driver
passenger engines of the Illinois Gen.
trail railroad, and almost succeeded.
He had the promise of job in cab,
but when he reported for his examina-
ton the physicians made the discov.
cry that he was color blind Turned
down fiat he wandered disconsolately
from the building and down toward
the wharves. A steamer preparing to
sail attracted him. He walked aboard
and leaned over the sea rail.
An hour later, when the ship was
well on her way, the purser touched
Christmas on the shoulder and asked
for his ticket. Christmas in turn in
CURED as to what part Of the world
the ship was going and paid the
amazed purser fare to the first port

A fresh revolution had Just broken
out In Honduras. Both sides needed
recruits, and soldiers of fortune from
the states were in greater demand
than supply. Manuel Bonilla found
Christmas first And this is why
Christmas became Manuels best
friend and Policarpo Bonilla's worst
enemy.
Lee Christmas is typical soldier of
fortune. His narrow escapes from
death have been many He was once
captured and sentenced to death and
the firing squad got down to business.
On being asked IL he had anything to
say before the order to fire was given,
he replied:

tiers, and growing them separately.
The termination test discards all ex.
cept the best ears and butts and tips
in these tests in each case should be
rejected. This seed is planted In an
isolated plot, the grain from each ear
being put into a separate row.
Throughout the growing season all
poor stalks should be removed.
At harvest the best ears from each
row are picked and cured for breeding
seed for succeeding seasons. An &C.
curate record is kept of the number
of each row and the number of ears
used from each row. The remainder
OF the corn from the seed plot Is
placed In numbered sacks and used
as seed for the main crop Of the sub
sequent year. The breeding seed first
chosen is subjected to rigid selection;
the corn retained for the breeding
plot for each succeeding year is tax
en- from the best producing rows.
Accurate records regarding selec.
ton and careful management prac-
tised in the breeding of seed corn are
just as essential as tests of the milk
and butter fat production of dairy
cows, to determine the wage-eaarners
Inferior management and selection of
breeding corn decreases the efficiency
of the farmer. When one considers
how easily the countryman can check
mate this handicap by simple sys-
tenn of selection and discrimination
in the various strains of breeding
corn, one almost believes the relative
simplicity of the problem Is it's great.
est drawback The farmer will not
or can not comprehend that such an
easy method In breeding corn will
increase his yield to 40 to so per cent
and viii correspondingly improve the
quality of his product.
No one can compel the farmer to in
stitute and practice methods of man
agement to which he Is radically op-
posed. However, when the farm
profits are so vitality concerned as
they are in this problem Of increasing
the corn production in this country
and when a correct solution Of the
difficulty has been placed under the
farmers nose, only obstinacy against
the adoption of advanced methods or
inherent laxity and shiftlessness can
be offered as excuses against the uni.
versal adoption Of proper methods of
selection. breeding, curing, storage,
and general care of selected strains
of seed coru.
Yields of corn would be increased
by millions of bushels annually If
farmers would only take a little time
to properly cure. test and keep up the
standard Of seed corn. Acreage pro
auctions in excess of 20 bushels would
be common where today 30-bushel ~
suits are in the majority.

An essential of profitable farming
little appreciated in the past by the
general farmer is the development OF
strains of seed corn we'll adapted to
local conditions. Heretofore the corn
grower has not practised rigid selec-
tion to find the variety best suited to
his environment He has not appre-
slated that he could introduce into his
.ocality grades of corn which have
proved successful in other states and
then acclimate this corn to his local
conditions thereby gaining greater
yields.
1t is a relatively simple matter
where standard variety is grown to
select the best ears from the years
crop, cure them properly, store them
for the winter, and plant those show
ing the highest termination test the
following spring. What little extra
time the farmer consumes in these
operations is amply repaid by the
larger net returns he realizes from
his next crop. Field experiments COM
pairing the character of the crop re-
sulting from the use of rigidly select
ed pure-bred seed and that from seed
corn as ordinarily handled on the
farm prove conclusively the vast SUI
periority of the rigidly selected, pure
bred strains. Yields of IS to 60 bush
els per acre resulted from use of the
former grade, while returns averaging
30 bushels attended the use of the
after variety.
Begin by Selection.
In the attempt to eliminate all poor
ears the best plan In the case of
cured corn is to lay out all the ears
IN rows on the floor. A best ear
should be selected as an ideal, so that
IN going over and sorting the corn the
ears corresponding most closely to the
deal will be selected. All others

which do not correspond to the ideal
In size, shape, color, uniformity Of
kernels and quality should be discard
ed. Then a second sorting should be
made TO remove ears whose kernels
40 not intimately coincide with the
ideal kernel.
In general the characteristics most
desired in ears of seed corn are good
size, regular rows of uniform kernels,
well filed out at the butt and tip,
deep and closely fitting on a well
SNAPPED, moderate-sized cob. All ears
having defects and undesirable feat
ures should be rejected
Grow Seed Plot.
The selection of seed corn from the
general field crop is usually attended
by poor success. A special seed plot
Is essential where field selection Is
practiced The advantages of this
system are that there are better
chances of fertilization; the plot is
isolated from other corn fields pre-

lSualns; crossing may be controlled

sirable plants and the marking of ex-

as well as the determination of

B quarter-acre or a halfacre plot
should be chosen and the soil put into
que pest condition. A good plan is to
select the finest ears and to plant one
