with you we pushed forward with re
newed courage and vigor, until we
found our own strength going and
our own steps growing shorter and
slowly but at last we reached the
summit almost as soon as those OF
you who we're already half way
there when we started on the toll
some journey. And we pause for
breath Just within the shadow OF
our declining years.
Well, here we stand upon the
very apex of life's weary way, and
as we glance backward adown the
slope we have just assembled, and
think OF the bright days which
shone upon the highway spread out
before us, and made 1t look so
pleasant and inviting when we first
began the march with those who
tarried or journeyed with us at the
foot of the hill, or bivouacked by
the wayside, we almost wish we
could begin the journey over with
those other younger folks we see
just now coming up the highway.
Our gaze Is backward; downward;
their eyes are forward, upward and
fixed with glowing hope upon this
spot where we are now resting,
waiting. We are living in the past,
they. away out in the future. Hope
beckons them onward, while mem

NOTES OF THE FARM.
HOW TO VEST YOUR CORN.

HOW TO TEST YOUR CORN.
The Purdue University Station OF
Indiana issues bulletin giving
specific directions for testing corn
The bulletin says:
Take ordinary three-quarter lum-
Der and make shallow tray of CON
yenient size, about two by threa
feet, and about two and half inch
es deep. The bottom can be made
of soft pine three-eighths inch thick
With gimlet bore holes through
the edges of the box about one and
one-half inches from the bottom and
one and five-eighths apart. Through
these holes string light galvanized
wire-about No. 12--in both direcas
tions, thus forming squares. Then
fill the germinator with sand or
sawdust to the level of the wire-
Earth is too sticky to work with.
Sand is the more preferable, as Il
Is clean and easy to work with. Each
square accommodates sample VI
five kernels taken from various
parts of the ear. With germinator
two by three feet in dimensions,
about $50 ears or about four and
one-haf bushels of corn can be tesL-
ed at one time.
When taking the samples some
convenient method of keeping the
ears and the samples straight so
that the ear whose sample shows up
poorly in the germinator can be
definitely located must be devised.
Two boards, one by four inches, with
plastering laths nailed to the edges
about three inches apart, with as
many divisions as there are rows
in the tester, will make an inex-
pensive rack. Fill each row OF
squares in regular order, running
from left to right After the tester
has been filled, the kernels should
all be pressed part way into the
sand and the sand thoroughly mois-
tened. Usually one moistening Is
sufficient for one test. When wet
ting the sand, it is best to spread
a towel over the kernels and. apply
the water over the cloth in order 70
prevent the kernels from being
flooded out of their proper places.
The tester is then covered with
panes of glass resting somewhat
loosely on the edges in order to al
.ow for entrance of some air.
The tester can then be set in a
place where the temperature is near
20 degrees at night. 1t should no.
be put near the stove. In five days
all kernels sufficiently strong 10
plant in the field should show we'll
developed root and stem sprouts.
Any ear of which more than one of
the five kernels taken out fails "a
terminate should be discarded, and
only those ears which have per-
feet termination should be used. #

from which to choose.
Enough corn should be tested 30
that after all the dead and weak
ears have been discarded enough
win remain to permit of rigid
grading of the corn in order to r.
move all the butt and tip kernels,
as well as any other irregular, thin
and understood kernels. Quite often
poor stand is secured because OF
lack of uniformity in the size and
shape of the seed, making 1t i'm
possible for the planter to, drop
uniformly.
The practice is rigidly testing and
grading seed corn will contribute
more than any other one factor 70

the State. . R

Up the Hill of Life.

Some forty years ago and more,
we stood as 1t were. a barefooted
boy at the base OF a rugged noun
tain. and cast our eyes far up the
hillside. where nearly, or quite half
way up the winding pathway we dis
covered yon--and you--and you as,
toiling along the rough, uncertain
mountain side; you sought to gain
the hin top. We gazed moment
and then with childish JOY, we
started forward in gleeful pursuit
and began TO climb the steep as
cent. As we travelled on. many pass
ed us on the journey, while many
others. footsore and weary. fell out
by the way. and we saw them no
more.
II was not long until we observed
that those OF you who were in ad-
vance but still in view OF us. climb
ed little more slowly, and your
gray hairs thickened and whitened
as the years went flying by; and
hoping to undertake and journey
