TEST SEED CORN.
The Progressive Farmer Should
Know More About the
Kind of Seed Corn He is
Going to Plant.

Seed corn which has been stored
through the winter under ordinary
conditions in South Carolina, is
often thought to need no testing be-
fore planting. But the high price
of land and the additional expense
of replanting the field demand that
the progressive farmer know more
about the quality of seed that he is
to plant.
The proper time to make the
terminating test is about three
weeks before planting, so that if
any bad ears are found in the lot
and discarded, the ears which are
to take their place may also be
tested before the seeds are placed
in the soil.
A convenient sized testing box.
for the average farmer is one that
is "a inches by "a inches, and about
to 6 inches deep. This box can
be made from SIX inch plank, or
soap or starch box sawed down to
the desired depth can be used. This
box should have layISof at least
two inches of wet sa aat packed
tightly over the bottomgT 1t will be

When the tes5eris complete, take .
the ears of corn to be tested and
number each ear. Then take elk
kernels from each ear, two from
opposite sides of the butt, two from
opposite sides of the middle, and
two from opposite sides of the tip.
See that no two kernels are taken
from the same row, and if the butt
and tip kernels are taken one inch
from the end of the ear, this will
be an average sample. Having ia
ken the kernels from the ear, place
them in the square which is num-
bered to correspond to the number
of the ear. Allow no two of them
to touch, place them with the heart
side up, and all of the tips pointing
in the same direction. When grains
from all the ears have been placed
in the squares which correspond to
the number of the ear from which
they were taken, place another
piece of wet cloth on top of hem
and cover this with another piece
of wet cloth on top of them and
cover this with to 3 inches of wet
sawdust. Then place the box IN
some place where it will remain
warm. At the end of four days
dampen the sawdust again by
sprinkling some warm water over
it. AT the end of a week the tester
should be examined by carefully re-
moving the sawdust and top cloth.
The numbers of all squares which
do not show six big healthy sprouts
should be ascertained, the ears
which have the corresponding num-
bers should not be planted.

He Found the Ghost.

stalking about ghosts" said the jan.
1tor Of one of the best known concert
halls in the city, "makes me think of
the scare I got the other day when
went into the auditorium after some
supplies I had left back on the stage
As stepped into the place heard
ecraping and hauling on the stage
Some one was putting and blowing and
then whistling a bit For the moment
my hair began to stand up. I managed
to get to one Of the switches and turned
on the light. There was the ghost! One
Of the piano houses had sent over one
Of their blind tuners to fix up piano
and there he had been working away
In the dark, his tools scattered around
the stage and parts of the piano strewn

THE SIMPLE LIFE.
No Trouble For Australian Aborieine
to Break Camp,


to Break Camp.
An Australian aborigine breaks thu
monotony of his life by frequent visits
to other camps, but his preparations
for these holidays have a simplicity
about them which must appeal to many
worried housewife. It is thus de-
scribed by Messrs. Spencer and GilleI
in "Across Australia"
"Apart from ceremonies and dances
the one great break in the monoton3
Of life is paying visits to strang.
camps. Packing up is not a tedious
process. The man simply walks out OF
camp, carrying his spears, spea
thrower, boomerangs and shield; the
woman takes the youngest child across
her hip, balances a pitchi on her head
and, with one arm round the child
and a digging stick in her free hand
she is ready for the road. The cir.
children and younger women look after
the puppies, which are never left be-
hind on any account, and, when un
able to walk. are carried in pitchis Xix
young babies.
1.-TWO minutes at most is all the time
required for an aboriginal family tc
pack up and start and there is nc
trouble in regard to the house while
the owners are away. If any one
chooses to occupy it during their alb
sence he can do so, but the owner
will see at a glance who has been i,
possession while they have beeL
away"

Hostel and Inn.

At one time the words "hostel" and
'1nn' were not confined to licensed
houses, but were applied to lodging
houses The inns Of Oxford and
Cambridge, very numerous before the
Introduction of colleges, were regulated
by the college authorities. The inns
Of court were provided for the accom-.
mediation of law students. In Older
times country houses Of the aristoc
racy, during the absence Of the own
ers, were used as inns" or guest
houses. 1t was then the rule to hang
out as signs the arms Of the owners
hence the origin of public house signs.
