SAYS Seed Corn In Bad Condition.
Seed corn of this state and of the
corn belt in general, is in a most seri-
Gus condition, according to Prof. G..
P. Norgord of the Wisconsin College
of Agriculture.
Zone hundred and forty-nine sam
pies of the state have shown an av-
erage termination Of only 81 per cent
If this corn is planted without testing,
a half crop will result. This will be
especially serious next fall, as the
same situation prevails over the en-
tire corn belt One man in southwest
ern 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 ger
minated 35 per cent. If he had test
ed it ear by ear, he could now discard
the bad ears, but having shelled it
before testing it, it is practically a
loss. Next season will see shortage

Wisconsin must not be caught The
way of escape is clear. We must test
every car of our seed corn and dis
card every one that does not germin-
ate strongly. We must not shell the
corn before testing, because then we
cannot throw out the dead kernels.
One man can test several bushels in a
day and every one should do 1t for
corn will be valuable next year.
Remove a kernel from near the
butt, another from near the center,
and another from near the tip. Turn

Taxicab Charges.

From the New York Tribune.
The opposition of taxicab drivers to
'speedometers' and their threat to go on
strike IL those instruments are installed
are a pretty convincing indication of the
need Of such an equipment. The speed
ometer'.. Is described as a device which
automatically and, 1t is to be assumed,
accurately records the rate of speed at
which the vehicle travels. the distance
which 1t travels and the number and du-
ration of the stops which 1t makes. Now.
such information Is precisely what the
company which sends out the cab Is en-
titled to have, and, indeed, must have. II
it Is properly to regulate its own busi-
ness and II its patrons are to be protect
ed from extortiOn or other abuses. 1t
seems to be also what the drivers would
be quite willing to have furnished unless
they were engaged in surreptitiOus prac-
Aces calculated to increase their gains at
the expense of either their employers or
their passengers.
have long felt the need of some more eff
fective safeguard against abuses. Theo-
retically the so-called taXimeter from
which the vehicle gets it's name registers
the amount of fare which is to be paid.
on the basis of either time or distance. If
1t does this correctly at the existing scale
of rates the passenger pays enough, IL
not too much. for his ride. But there is
only too much reason for suspecting that
in some ways drivers contrive to beat
the clock" either by tampering with its
working. by misleading it's dial or by so
manipulating the cab on its trip as to run
up an unnecessarily high score. A de-
vice which 1t would be impossible thus to
for subsequent reference the facts of dis
lance. time, speed and stoppages, would
be to the advantage of both the cab own
erS and the cab users.

put forward the view that the time was
ripe for the burial OF the dead treaty OF
Berlin. Treaties are not immortal. said
the spokesman OF the party. quoting the
cynical utterance OF Bismarck.
Austria had grabbed Bosnia and Her

was lighting for a slice OF Africa. Ger

other across the North sea like TWO an
