ounce or two of seed are sent to the Sta
ton. In case Of The small grass seeds,
such as bluegrass and redtop, the test is
difficult and should be made at the Ex-
pertinent Station.
A simple germinator tester is made Of
two ordinary dinner plates with smooth
edges. One hundred of the seed to be
tested are counted out and placed on a
damp cloth or blotter and covered by
another cloth or blotter Of the same
size. This is laid upon one of the plates
and the other plate inverted over it,.
The tester should be kept in a warm
place and enough water added from
time to time to supply ample moisture
for termination, but not an excess.
In testing corn, each ear should be
tested, and special box is necessary.
The method of testing corn has been so
often explained that nearly every
farmer is familiar with it. Bulletin $50
of this Station explains the process in
detail. The quality of corn this year is
exceptionally good, due to the unfavor-
able season, and no farmer should neg
lect testing his seed corn.

Ten minutes walk brought him to
the door of the city tavern, where he
found Mr.. PegIoe directing the sctivi-

hopping out his bar. To him the
judge made known bis needs.

The house Mr.. Pegloe pointed out
was a small frame building; It stood
directly on the street, with a narrow

The judge Sees a Ghost.

Charley Norton's good ofices did
not end when he had furnished Judge
Price with house, for Betty required
of him that he should supply that
gentleman with legal business as
well
Thus it happened that Judge Price,
before he had been three days in
Raleigh, received a civil note from
Mr.. Norton asking him to search the
title to a certain timber tract held by
one Joseph Quad. The Judge, power
fully excited. told Mahafry he was be-
ing understood and appreciated.
The immediate result of Norton's
communication had been to send the
judge up the street to the court house.
He would show his client that he
could be punctual and painstaking.
Entering the court house, he found
himself in narrow hall He entered
the county clerks ONCE. He was al

name was Saul, and he now greeted
him.

The most forcible illustration of the
enormous facilities of the Buick Motol
company is evidenced by the number
of large orders handled by the company
the past few weeks.
On January 10 an order was received
from the Nebraska-Bu Auto com.
pany, Lincoln, Neb., for ninety autos
consisting of Models 20. 35 and 2S
These were loaded and shipped in one
shipment on January Is.
On January the Howard Automo-
bile company, of San Francisco, Cal,
wired in an order for 300 cars, making
fifty carloads. This train was made up
and shipped promptly on Janury %, as
promised.
On January % the Pence Automobile
company, of Minneapolis, Mimi, placed
an order for 500 No. AZ Buick autos to
be shipped as fast as possible. These
were arranged in four train loads. The
first, containing thirty-six carloads OF
los automobiles, went forward January
25. The next, a train of fifty carloads
or $50 automobiles, left the factory
January 20. The next or third train of
equal size was shipped February 5, and
the fourth train, made up Of 1873 auto
mobiles, was shipped in forty-eight car
loads from the factory February 10.

Securing Good Seeds.

There is no way Of estimating the an
nual loss from planting poor seeds, but
we do know that the loss is enormous.
Much of this loss can be easily prevented
by using care in purchasing seeds and in
giving proper attention to those pro-
duced on the farm.
1t is none too early now to secure seed
for spring use, for almost every farmer
has planned his crops for the coming
year and knows what seeds will be re-
quired. Purchasing early has several
distinct advantages First. it allows Sc
lection from a large stock. Later the
stock is small ard naturally only the
seeds of poorer quality are left. By
purchasing early, dealers will be found
willing to furnish small samples of diff
ferent lots for inspection. These sam
Piles may be tested for purity and ger
mination, and the seed proving the pur-
est and giving the most vigorous germi-
nation selected. If seeds are ordered
late there may be delay in shipping, so
that they are not on hand when needed.
This causes worry, delay and expense
Good seeds should show high per
cent of termination, should be free
from injurious weed seeds, free from
adulteration with cheaper seeds of SINH
lar appearance and should be Of a va
riety suited to the conditions under
which it is to be grown. There is no
way Of determining this in case of most
seeds and the honesty Of the dealer is
the only sur"ty Of getting desirable
strains or varieties. Weed seeds and
authorizations are nearly always con-
fined to grass and clover seeds. Farmers
should become acquainted with the ep-
pearance Of seeds of injurious weeds
and refuse TO accept seed containing
them. For instruction in identifying
seeds the farmer is referred to Bulletin
l24 Of this Station.
Germination tests should be made Of
all seeds planted. whether the seed is
produced on the farm or bought on the
market. Such tests are simple and
easily made, and may be the means Of
saving many dollars. The Experiment

The judge lapsed into silence.
A step sounded in the narrow hail.
An instant later the door was pushed
open, and grateful for any Interrupt

Saurs attention from himself. the
judge abruptly turned his back on
the clerk and began to examine the
record before him. Insensibly, how

that was addressing itself to Mr.. Saul
