No Secrets From Mother.

The moment a girl has a secret

thing for girl to have. The fewer
secrets there lie in the hearts of
women the better. 1t is almost a

The Fate of Two Boatsmen.

The Fate of Two Boatsmen.
The way was long and the day was
short;
Two boatsmen rowed for the same
far port.
One looked on life as an endless
reign,
And he fastened not his port to
gain.
The other more wisely reckoned
sublime
And desired his goal to reach in
time.
The one said, Il have limitless day,
And ere night can tarry on my
way"
The other declared, The day is
short
And direct shall be my way to
port"
Grim death DER came the voyage
of one,
And the night reigned ere his goal
was won.
Safe into the port the other rowed
And but to himself his sNccesS lie
owed.
To us the one left an unknown
grave,
And an ideal life the other gave.

Test Seed Corn.

Every indication is that bumper
crops will be grown in Missouri
this year, is the general opinion.
The one danger is that seed corn is
of a poor quality. Much depends
on the first stand. Consequently
farmers should be sure to test all
seed corn and the time to do this
now. Prof. Hutchinson of the Mo-,
Agricultural College has tested con-
siderable seed this year and finds
that fully rs per cent is not fit
for use.
Professor Hutchinson says that the
farmers cannot be urged too strong
ly to make careful tests of the seed
corn this year In a days labor a
farmer can easily test seed for from
eighty to one hundred acres and
his careful test may result in the
difference between e total failure
and bumper crop "A days work
now will mean dollars in harvesting
time" is the way Mr.. Hutchinson
puts it.
He has outlined a simple test
which is entirely practical, and
which is given here. He wishes to
urge its use upon every farmer, who
will plant corn this year. The test
is as follows:
Lay out the ears selected on
long board or floor, marking a num-
Der opposite each. Prepare q box
two or three inches deep and two or
three feet square. Place in the
bottom of the box a half to three
quarters of an inch of sand and
mOisten thoroughly. Cut piece of
white cloth to fit the box and mark
off with a pencil into squares 2 to
2 IL inches in size, numbering
them from one up, and laying the
cloth on the sand. Now remove
two kernels about two inches from
the butt of ear No. l, turn it one
third around and take two more
from near the middle, again turn it
one-third around and remove two
from near the tip placing the half
dozen kernels in square No. |. In
like manner take the same number
of kernels from ear No 2 and so on
until all of the squares are filled.
Cover the corn with another piece
of moist cloth or paper, filing in on
to of this with three quarters of an
inch of moist sand. A piece of oil
cloth or some moist wet paper
thrown over top keeps termination
from dying out Set it in warm
place where the temperature will
stand from 70 to 80 degrees and al
low it to remain four or five days
Moisten the sand occasionally il
necessary to prevent it drying out
At the end of this time the kernels
of good vitality will have sprouted
strongly and one can tell by looking
at the different squares which ears
are to be discarded. If one or more
kernels of an ear fail to terminate
it should be thrown away.
