Box Seed Corn Tester

One of the best home made.
seed corn testers was planned
BY Prof. P. G. Holden. "Make
abox about three inches deep
and 80 x 80 inches in size; fill
it about half full with moist
saw dust and lamp firmly with
a brick. Rule off a piece of
good cloth into squares q x q
inches, checker board fashion,
and number the squares 1, 2, 3.
etc Place the cloth which
should be the size Of the ger
mination box, on the saw dust
and tack it to the side, and ends
of the box. Lay the ears Of
corn to be tested side by side
on the table or floor. Remove
six kernels from six different
places from ear No. 1 and place
them in square No. in the
termination box, germ side up
and crown pointing from you
Then remove six kernels in a
like manner from ear No. 2 and
place in square No. 2 in TIE
termination box, and so on.
When the squares in the ger
mination box are all filled, lay
4 piece of good cloth over the
kernels and dampen by sprink-
ling water over it. Place over
this a cloth considerably larger
than the box and fill the box
with moist saw dust, lamp with
a brick or board and pack on
top of the corn. Keep the box
in a place where it will not
freeze; raise the upper side of
the box, or the side toward
which the crowns of the kernels
point, 8 or a inches; the stem
sprouts will then grow up and
the roots sprout down, thus
making it easier to read the
test. 1t rquires about five days
for the corn to terminate. At
the end of that time roll back
and remove the cloth contain
ing the top layers of sawdust.
Now remove the second cloth
as carefully as possible and ex-
anime the six sprouted kernels
in each square.
The above box when COM
pleted and set away germina-
tion may be described briefly
as follows: 2 inches of sawdust
packed firmly in the bot
tom of the box, on this
is laid the cloth ruled off in
squares, then the kernels laid
in the squares, the second cloth
laid on the kernels and damp
ened, then a third cloth much
larger than the box, on which
is placed two inches more of
sawdust, packed fimly. The
edges of the larger cloth may
be folded over on top of the
sawdust. Soak the sawdust at
least two hours better over
night. Use a good quality of
sheeting for the cloth that is
ruled off in squares, and also
for the cloth covering the ker-
nels. Do not use cheap, porous
grade of cloth, as the sprouts
will grow through it and great
ly interfer with the work.
Leave a two.inch margin
around the edges of the box to
prevent freezing and drying
out. Make the squares to re-
ceive the kernels q x2a inches
Never use the box more than
once without thoroughly scald-
ing both the sawdust and the
cloths. To insure accurate
reading, the stem sprouts
should be at least two inches
long when examined. Throw
out all ears that show weak
termination, as we'll as the
ears whose kernels fail to
grow.

have seen so far is the seeds

SAGE TEA Will
DARKEN The HAIR
RESTORE FADED AND GRAY HAIR
TO NATURAL CoLoR-DAN-
DRuFF QUICKLY RE-
MOVED.

There is nothing new about the idea
of using Sage for restoring the color
of the hair. Our grandmothers kept
their hair dark, glossy and abundant
by the use of a simple Sage Tea"
| Whenever their hair fell out or took
on a dull, faded or streaked appear
ance, they made a brew of Sage leaves,
and applied it to their hair with won
derfully beneficial effect.
Nowadays we don't have to resort to
the old-time tiresome method of
gathering the herbs and making. the
tea. This is done by skillful chemists
better than we could do it ourselves;
all we have to do is to call for the
ready-made product, Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Remedy, containing Sage
in the proper strength, with the adj
dition of Sulphur, another old-time
scalp remedy.
This preparation gives youthful coll
or and beauty to the hair, and is one
of the best remedies you can use for
dandruff, dry, feverish. itching scalp,
and falling hair. Get a fifty cent bot
tie from your druggist today. and You
will be surprised at the quick results.
All druggists sell 1t, under guarantee
that the money will be refunded if the
remedy is not exactly as represented.

THINKS Fargo
HAS RIGHT IDEA
J.. H. RICHIE, SPORTING EDITOR
OF THE MINNEAPOLIS JOUR-
NAL AIRS HIS VIEWS OF THE
BASEBALL SITUATION IN THIS
NECK OF THE WOODS

]. H. Richie in his column on the
sport page of The Minneapolis Jour
ma says:
1t would seem from a distance that
Duluth and Superior have stubbed a
somewhat unmanicured toe against
organized baseball with great conse-
quent pain and vain regret. From Du-
luth today comes word that the new
Central International league looks like
a bloomer OF account of a disposition
of Fargo not to monkey with outlaw
baseball. Duluth and Superior still
belongs to the Minny league in eyes
OF baseball law, and will have to kick
in with some change to gain liberty
and a right to mingle it in a new cir
cult. Fargo has been touted as the
keystone of a new league embracing
several painted posts from Winnipeg
to Duluth. but now Fargo is said to be
preparing to go it alone on semi-pro or
an independent basis.
No matter what the justice of the
twin ports claims or grievances they
may have, it looks as though it will be
necessary for these clubs to square
themselves with organized baseball
before they can hope for league ball
of any sort. A revival of the old
Northwestern league on an outlaw
basis does not look good. 1t takes
money to play the outlaw game and
money in every city. The Northern
does not appear to be in position to
raise the proper amount of kale.
The Minny league probably does not
care to hold unuilIino o1,,hr ~
compromise could probably be reached
whereby the twin ports AN get away
in a proper manner. While the time
is short a little diplomacy and mutual
concessions would appear to be the
move. A revival of the old
Northern league would be a good
thing but it can't be accomplished byI
rough house methods. The other fell
lows are too strong and have too much
backing for that sort of thing.

San Francisco. April 1.-THE Chi
rese baseball team of Honolulu. the
pride of the territory of Hawaii, has
arrived here on the liner Lurline for
a six months tour of the United
States. There are fifteen twirlers in
the party.
Although every player is a full
blooded Chinese, they were all born
in Hawaii and wish it known that
they all speak United States" They
have the Hawaiian love Of music and
made themselves very popular with
their fellow passengers on the Lur-
line. They were picked from all the
schools and colleges Of the island and
are said to put up a very high class
quality of ball. They beat the Vase
da university team of Japan at Homo
lulu l to 0 and they won one game
and lost another with the Keio nine.
another star Japanese team. Short
ly before leaving Honolulu they play
ed two games with the team from the
cruiser West Virginia, and won both.
Edward K. c. zap, manager, said
on arrival, that they were making no
predictions about the games they ex-
pect to play in the United States.
