HIS MIND UP IN THE CLOUDS
Professor Imagined Appeal Was From
Fido, and the Situation Became
Embarrassing.

A great lover of animals, Professor
Dryasdust was much given to having
his pet dog sitting beside him at meal
times eating tidbits from his own lit
tie plate.
The other evening he was at a din
ner party, and his partner was very
great lady who was proud of her
title.
But the professor paid absolutely
no attention to her. His mind had
switched OF on to some abstruse point
and he was lost to the world over the
problem.
The duchess did not approve of this,
and presently, to attract his attention,
she pulled him gently by the sleeve.
Then the professor woke up. Grab
bling a half-picked chicken bone from
his plate, he thrust it under her
startled nose.
Don't bother just now, Ffdoi' he
said CURLY. Here, take this and go
and eat it on the mat, like good

Farmers should get busy now
and select the seed of corn and sor-
ghum which they expect to plant next
spring The only sure way of obtain
ing seed from high yielding plants is
by going into the field before the corn
is cut or before the sorghum is cut
and selecting ears and heads from the
plants that have produced large, de
sirable shaped ears and heads. The
plants that have produced large ears
and heads while at the same time
growing under normal conditions in
the field are likely to produce seed
that will produce equally strong plants
under similar conditions the follow
ing year. 1t is impossible to know
what kind of a plant produced an ear
Of corn after once placed in the crib.
Large ears are not always the product
of good plants. Some plants have
more room to grow in than others in
a general field of corn. When this is
the case even weak plants produce
large ears. This is an abnormal con
dition and seed produced under such
conditions is likely to produce low
yielding planting.
to go into the field while the corn is
standing and select ears of the right
type than to select ears from the crib
next spring. The farmer who will get
his seed this fall in the manner sug-
gested and who viii care for it prop
erly from now until planting time will
be absolutely sure of having seed corn
that will be 100 per cent good. On
the other hand the farmer who simply
harvests his corn in bulk and stores
it away in the crib until next spring.
from which he will secure his seed
corn for next years planting, can
never tell whether he is getting seed
from good plants or poor plants and
whether it is going to grow after he
plants it. little time spent now in
obtaining the right kind OF corn and

Australian LANGUAGE.

There are many English dia-
Iects," said a visiting Australian,
''and some of them are so peculiar that
the man who knows only the real
English or your American form finds
it difficult of comprehension. But as
a rule the vocabulary is identical, it
matters not whether the speaker be
an Irishman, Scotchman, Canadian or
western American. But in Australia
we are evolving an English of our
own, and Professor Morris has pub
hshed a dictionary of the language"
While the words may have been
slang at first, they have been adopted
after years of use, and so the Sydney
Bulletin has offered a prize for the
poem written in Australian English,
the condition being that 1t should not
be understood by others than Austria
iians.

We can develop earlier maturing

now from early maturing plants in or
der to be sure that they have seed
that will ripen early next year. In
storing this seed during the winter
all that is necessary is TO see that it
is protected from the mice and in
sects and that the air is allowed to
circulate freely around every ear and
head so that the grain will become
thoroughly dried. Once the seed has
become dry there viii be little danger
from freezing weather thereafter.
Most corn that is placed in the crib
contains considerable moisture. eff
freezing weather comes on while the
corn is in a moist condition the germ
is likely to be killed. This is true al
so of kafir heads or sorghum heads of
any kind. They should be dried out
thoroughly and as quickly as possible
after harvesting. If they are placed
under cover where the temperature
is about the same as the temperature
of a living room and protected from
mice and insects they will come
through the winter in good condition.
