YOUR SEED CORN LOOKS GOOD.
is 1T GOOD?

"A DeS MOlneS business man owns
three farms. Last spring he fur
nished the tenant on each farm with
specially bred corn on condition that
a good supply OF seed should be gath
cred before frost. This was done
anG last week one Of the tenants ask
I'd the owner of the farm to come
out and look over the seed as it
was unusually good. 81 B.
The business man went to the farm
and the tenant showed him large
lot OF carefully stored seed that APP
peared perfect. The men took. Their
Knives and examined the kernels:
Most Of the ears were not safe to
plant and many ears were dead. The
corn Is being tested ear by ear to
see if enough seed can be found to
plant the farm. May be your seed is
like this.
An Iowa banker wrote that the
seed corn in his district was good.
As. "a matter OF curiosity he asked
several OF his patrons to make germ
ination tests. They found most of
the seed corn unsafe and some farm
ers who had good looking seed found
that not single ear would grow.
Perhaps your seed is like this.
Seed corn is in the worst condition
ever known. Not over half the seed
that has been tested so tar will
crow. Most of the seed corn is SO
poor that no man can tell whether it
will grow or not, without making a
termination test of every ear. Test
every ear. Test it now. ~
In Chicago during the three winter
months, December, January and Feb
ruary only 46 cars Of No. 2 corn
were received. IS per cent of all
corn received graded No. 3 and Bis
per cent graded No. or worse. One
Of the poorest records for quality ev-
err made in this market.
At Omaha during the same three
months, so per cent OF all the corn
. . q
received was 4th grade and Is per
cent was poorer than fourth grade.
At Kansas City over half the corn
received during the winter months
has been 4th grade or worse, the
average moisture (, content. being
around 20 per cent-the worst for
years. II
Following every winter when the
bulk of the corn received at the grea
markets has had an excess OF mois'
,ture has been spring with poor
seed corn, much replanting and sec
ond replanting.
Test your seed corn. Test every
ear. Test it now.

CHURCH

IT his sermon on church federation
on Sunday DR.. Matthews took up a
~sui.ieet which is of the utmost inn
DaT.anre to our own country and all
civilization . Just what is meant by
church federation depends. Of course,
or thr point of view Of h person dis
ouss;ng the subject. To some the
term means organic union of all re-
ligicus bodies. There arc to be no
sects. no denominations. lilo differences
Of any kind, but all persons worship
in the same manner and under the
same conditions. AS "a practical sub
.isrt "hurch federation cannot he un-
derstuod in thi. way. and that is not
tlle Interpretation of the subject given
10y tho Presbyterian pastor.
Doubtless there will always be sects
and denominations. Religious bodies
will vary in their Interpretation of
ono doctrinal points, and people will
have their preferences as TO the form
IF government to- apply to religious
societies. So long as people differ
one from another, just SO long will
certain forms and beliefs appeal to
some and not to others. But it may
he assumed that all of the great re-
ligious bodies are engaged in a worthy
work the work Of making the world
n better place for men to live In, and
of making non women better fit
tt,l for life. Whatever else they are
doing the religious societies are at
least striving to do these things While
it is neither possible nor desirable
that ALI should work in exactly the
same way, it j: possible for all who
are engaged in this common work
.o recognize each other as fellows
engaged in a noble enterprise. 1t Is
possible for them 10 aid. rather thar
tn hinder. And there is accumulat-
ing evidence that the spirit Of BROTH
erhood II h%elpfulness is growing
throughout the world.
Just in what way this spirit may
hest he manifested cannot be stated
i'll general terms, or stated off hand.
Local conditions. individual tastes.
and many other things must govern
the application of II rule. But If
the great body of members can gain
a conception of the Christian church
as the great body Of those who are
governed by h faith on which the
church is founded, matters of detail
will settle themselves. In one commu-
nifty 1t may be found that the common
work in which all the churches are
engaged may best be performed by
many societies, with varying systems
Of government, while in another com.
munity the crying ne:A may be for a
single organization n a single pastor,
or. for that matter, no pastor at all.
These are questions OF e%xpediency, to
be decided in the light Of the facts of
each case. The vital thing is a recog.
milton Of the fact that all are labor
ers in the am vineyard, working
with the same purpose, seeking the
same end.

The successor Of such a man had q
diffcult place to fill. No man could
take the place Of Greeley. Reid did
not attempt to do so He travelled hi.
own road, and marked out for himself
a path which he followed u%nwavering.
~ through the long years Of his man.
aSement.
Whitelaw Reid was a scholar and
man Of affairs. He was a newspaper
man from his youth, and in every po.
sition which he filled he devoted him.
self to his work with enthusiasm and
energy. and he Proved to he as Urea,
a newspaper man in his own way al
Greeley was in his. The ways were
different. that Is all.
The New York Tribune, under
Reds management. has welded ar
influence perhaps not less than its in.
fiuence during the days Of Greeley,
There was lacking the picturesque
character Of its founder. but through
good report and evil report it has
stood manfully for what its editor be-
lieved to be right. and 1t is inconceiv.
able that such a paper. through the
long series Of years under the man.
agement just closed. should not have
formed and steadied public opinion in
a very marked manner.
1t was not alone as a newspaper
man that Whitelaw Reid made his
mark. He has held important diplo-
matte positions and while he repre-
sented the United States in France he
was able to serve his country most
accenfahly hv aidino in thu necotia.
ton OF important treaties which now
govern the relations Of the two ma
tions. Since his residence in London,
as ambassador to Great Britain. he
has given good service, and his un-
expected death will be a source Of re-
greet to all who knew him we'll, and
who knew him for his really great
worth.
