that he named them: Beta, Monitor,
Dakota and Suelter. II
Desiring to know moro about these
grapes, I took . trip to Carver on
March 9th, 1908. and secured cuttings
from the original Suelter home, and
also from two other parties at Carver
who had the Suelter grapes. Having
secured cuttings from what we're
supposed to be 8 different plants
numbered them to 8. I have these
all planted separately and all of them
have borne good crop this year.
take it for granted that it will be
interesting to know more about these
hardy grapes, and will say that
have kept memoranda of these 8
numbers and compared them with the
Beta and the original Dakota.
1 have the Beta from three different
sources and find that have two kinds
of Beta, one shedding it's leaves
earlier than the other and being more
prolific, while the one that detoliates
later is more vigorous grower. (
In comparing notes 1 find that the
Dakota defoliates fully two weeks
earlier than the early defoliating Beta
and the fruit of the Dakota is sweeter
than that Of any of the others. The

The germs of tuberculosis are not

that tends to spread this disease.

Seed Corn Condition Serious.

Farmers from all over the state pre-.
sent at the meeting of the State
Agricultural Society ut St. Paul last
week united in saying that she con-
dition of the seed corn of the state is
indeed serious. On account of the
rains last fall much of the corn was
wet in the shock before it was selected
for seed. Some of the corn which
farmers intended to plant is rotten
now. The only safe way is to test
each ear of corn to see if it will grow.
If only one ear in each acre planted is
poor. it will reduce the profits to o
considerable extent.
It looks like q lot of work to pick
out three or four kernels from each ear
of corn you intend to plant il the
spring, and water and cover them up
so they will sprout and prove they
have life. This is the work that counts
however. If the corn is well
elected and all comes up, the
farmer is assured of . much better
crop than If some of the seed does not
come up. Any farmer can raise poor
corn. It is the careful farmer who
gets the large yields.
In Wisconsin, arrangements have
been made so that the pupils in the
schools of the State are testing seed
corn for the farmers. This trains
The children along better farming
lines, and also insures the farmer
against loss of his crop.

We have all given more or less
attention to the disturbance which has
existed in China for several months
past and since the Republic has been
formed some mention of certain
Chinese customs may be of interest at
this time. We have been taught that
the "heathen Chinee" is most peculiar
in bis ways, that his customs and
habits are quite the opposite OF ours,
and in the line of politics he seems to
differ from US as materially as in
other things.
10 some respects the Chinese even
appear to have distinct advantages
over US. For instance, when a
Chinese public ofice-holder has failed
10 give satisfaction in his officeholding
when he has shown that he is the
wrong man in the right plsce-he is
invited to commit suicide, so that q
better servant may succeed him. The
request is not mere formality. When
1t IL made in the proper way and
backed by proper expression OF
public opinion it has all the force of q
decision of the supreme court. The
nan who is condemned has no escape
save fight, and If he runs away his
family is forever djsgrsced and de-
graded.
II We could import this Chinese
custom there would undoubtedly be .
great improvement in the general
business OF offceholding. It would
make undertaking almost unnecessary,
and senatorial investigations would
become obsolete. Moreover, 1t would
give the Office real chance to seek
NE man. The task of the victor would
be simpli6ea, because there would
oesse to be . multiplicity of candi-
dates for each Office. II tho Chinese
system could DO adopted without tho
accompaniment Of the pigtsil 1t might
b worth trying. ...

Printing in the United States.

What the printers and publishers OF
the country are doing has been made
the subject of q special bulletin by the
Census Bureau, which finds that there
are %, l43 publications in the country,
with an aggregate circulation OF
165, 1853, 100 copies per issue. OF these
2,6O2 are dailies exclusive of Sun
day., with an aggregate circulation OF
24,2l7,l27, and 1907 are weeklies,
with an aggregate circulation of 49,
s22, 1865. With all due respect to the
Census Bureau, if it has really es-
tablished these facts it has done some-
thing no other agency has been able to
accomplish.

NEW STYLES IN HATS.
Shaded PIumes Are Gaining In Favor
For the Fall.

1t is stated that the hats are to be
larger han ever. How could they be?
AS Il matter o fact. it is not the case.
Hats are much more moderate in size
than W. years ago and more moder-
ate than those worn last year. There
is. unfortunately, no diminution Of the
display of ospreys.
The beauty of many Of the most
beautiful hats worn at q recent great
dress show was due to the lovely. del
icatcly tinted. long frOnded. soft. light.
foamy looking ostrich plumes. Some
were French gray. tipped at the edges
with wedgwood blue. Many We're am

gold or sulphur color tipped with rose.
They were most decorative. very rich
and extremely becoming. Beads OF
amber. Of lapis laZuli. of coral and Of
jade We're seen on some OF the hats.
These had Il heavy look. which should
be absent from successful millinery.

Nowhere Does Refinement Show Out

Nowhere Ices refinement depict it.
self more than at the dinner table.
Though the fare may be simple. the
appointments should be fresh and
dainty.
If the table is in good condition linen
doilies and centerpieces are much Used
for luncheon and breakfast.
These should be all white. accord
ing to the present fashion.
For dinner the fine damask tablecloth
goes out of style.
Elaborate lace trimmed affairs are of.
ten used for luncheon.
\ cotton flannel silence cloth should
always be used.
Silk and satin decorations have had
their day. They are seldom seer now
and Jar ones good taste, because we in
stinctively feel that all table orna-
mentS should be OF washable materials
since they are liable to become soiled.
Only SO much Si!yerWHre should he
used as can be kept bright and Shin
ing.
China or glass should be substituted
for the rest. Nothing looks more DESC
late than IL furnished silver tea set or
butter dish.
Saltcellars with spoons rather than
salt sprinklers are used in private
houses. The latter are very appropri-
ate in hotels and restaurants, where
they reassure the consumer as to the
pristine condition Of the salt.
Everything should be cleared away
between meals. To see a table set at
all hours Of the day and night looks too
much like a boarding house.
1t is not thought good form to put a
whole pile Of plates before the master
or mistress of the house.
Plates should be warmed for a hot
meal or fish course.

HARMLESS GAME FOR BOYS.
The fitting Contest Is an Exciting
Pastime.

Nv wv
Pastime.
A harmless but exciting game for
boys is the fitting contest, which has
become very popular with the boy
scouts. BY the rules of the contest
two boys stand on overturned boxes
or tubs, and. armed with five foot
STATS or rods. the ends Of which have
been protected by cushions or buffers.
each contestant tries to push his oppo-
nent off his perch. 1t is permissible to
put one foot upon the ground, in order
to maintain balance. but not for long.
There are strict rules about fouls" or
striking at an opponent in the face or,
in fact. striking him anywhere. Three
fouls %disqualify a player and give the
contest to his opponent. The contest
is divided off into rounds" or short
periods. governed by the man who acts
as umpire or referee. In several re-
cent scout meetings the fitting con
tests have been waged between the
best players Of the various patrols, and
the enthusiasm always reached a high
point of excitement on the part Of the
adherents Of the two contestants.

PLATED SKIRTS IN VOGUE
They Are the Most Prominent Of tho
Seasons Novelties.

Grays. tans and slate greens pre-
dominate in the fine. closely woven
serges, English tweeds. Scotch mix
lures. ratines and rough surfaced bou-
Gle yarns which are the fashionable
fabrics. The tailored suits for autumn
service are being made up by both
custom tailors and large manufacture
ers in these goods.
The plated skirt is the most promi-
nent of the autumn seasons novelties.
Many little taffeta dresses show these
plated skirts too. The skirts are
formed Of two deep plated founces-
machine plating of n sort Of crapy
nature. These tlounces are broken in
the front only by a narrow straight
panel just at one side of the center.
The panel is trimmed with taffeta COW

Still the father did not speak. In

Then suddenly he said:
"For your sake. Clarence, I'll make
an effort"
A lady driven up to her country resi-
dence in an automobile alighted and
hurried into the house. In the hall she
was accosted by a tall, intellectual
looking man, but with something weak
in his expression.

for the usual kiss she hurried upstairs
to lay aside her wraps.
"Something wrong again." he NUT
tered. 1--WE who defy the social code
must pay the penalty. But she has
always recovered from these moments
now"
The recovery in this case did not
come. Instead q gloom settled over
the woman that he could not dispel,
though he made every effort. He tried
to win her from her melancholy by
caresses. She repulsed him. He took
her to the opera, to theaters, every
where, anywhere, that he could place
her in an atmosphere Of excitement.
She seemed for awhile to be lending
herself willingly to the plan, but there
was no change in her, and at last she
declined to pursue it further. One
thing alone she followed of her own
choice. Every day an automobile
wheeled to the door, and she entered
it and sped away for a drive that was
never short and often very long.
He was comforted that what could
not be produced by other amusementa
was effected by this. Doubtless the
breakneck speed, with an element OF
danger In it, served to overcome re.
morse. But he feared that one of the
many accidents constantly occurring
would happen to her.
