TESTING SEED CORN
DO Not Shell it, Test it Ear
nv Ear.

Seed corn Of this state and of the
corn belt in general, is in a most
serious condition, according to Prof. G..
=. Norgord of the Wisconsin College of
Agriculture. One hundred and forty
nine samples that have been collected
from seven counties for test, from all
parts of the state, have shown an
average termination of only 81 per cent.
| If this corn is planted without testing,
a half crop will result. One man in
southwestern Wisconsin cured fifty
bushels Of fine looking corn in his seed
corn room. He shelled it and tested it
this spring. Twenty five bushels Of
one variety showed only II per cent
live kernels, while the other variety
terminated 35 per cent II he had
tested it ear by ear, he could now dis
card the bad ears, but having shelled it
before testing, it is practically loss.
The way Of escape is clear. We must
test every ear of our seed corn and
discard every one that does not GERM
nate strongly. We must not shell the
corn before testing, because then we
cannot throw out the dead kernels.
Remove kernel from near the butt,
another from near the center and
another from near the tip. Turn the
ear over, and repeat the operation.
The simplest way to test seed corn is
to us what is known as the sawdust
gcrminator method. Put about two
inches Of sawdust that has been boiled
in Il sack, in the bottom Of dry goods
box. Pack this down Thoroughly and
spread over it piece OF muslin that
has been marked into % inch squares.
There should be at least ten squares
in row. Each square is used for
kernels from one ear of corn. 1t is
usually most convenient to test 100 ears
at time. When the squares are
marked on the muslin they should be
numbered, beginning at the upper left
hand corner. The ears should then be
spread upon the floor or up on the table
and numbered. Kernels from ear No.
/. are to be put in square No. / and so
on.
After the kernels have been placed in
the gcrminator, cover them carefully
with another piece of muslin that has
been dampcned. Over this place a
gunny sack with wet sawdust in it, In
six or seven days check up the results
and discard all ears whose kernels
failed to produce strong sprouts.

Prevention oi Fire.

State Fire Marshall Purtell sends
out circular calling attention to the
great waste by fire and exhorting folks
to be more careful in their habits. We
append the circular in abridged form:
Sixty per cent, of fire losses both in
country and town are due to careless
ness. The per capita loss in the
United States for last year was g.. so.
60 cents in Great Britain and 30 cents
in Germany,
Most of the great fires in Wisconsin
started while the property was ungard
ed at night or during the lunch hours.
I This proves that these losses of thou
sands of dollars could have been pre-
vented by the exercise of greater care.
\ few rules OF caution are therefore
worthy of note.
\ Use nothing but double dipped and
other forms of safety matches,
Beware of the danger of gasoline
vapor, and of using either gasoline OF
kerosene to hasten a sluggish fire.
Clean your chimneys, keeping a keen
lookout for all cracks, caulking them
I mp with cement or mortar,
t Do not allow oily or greasy rags or
other rubbish to remain in a building
over night.
Employ only expert workmen for
electric wiring, Allow no tinkering

Do not put ashes against wood or

And yet the experiment failed.
Why? No need to give the rea-
sons of the American girl. When
the glamor of courtship and
honeymoon was gone, and she
was face to face with the realities
of domestic life with a mate of
alien blood, it was borne in upon
her that her husband was unlike
any other man she knew. Her
whole outlook upon life puzzled
and bewildered her.
1--WE had many friends" he
said, American and Japanese.
We had a good home. There
were no worries about money.
We had considered everything
carefully, without hurry. We
thought we would be happy. But
the trouble was deeper than that.
The American ways are not the
Japanese ways. know that now.
"In Japan girls are taught to
be good wives and mothers
nothing else, They must respect
and obey their husbands. They
must have reverence for their
husbands family and for their
own. There is nothing more
honorable than parenthood-in

beautiful than old age.

talk of freedom They are not
willing that their husbands
should choose their friends; they
must make their own. Perhaps If
