portant step before planting. There is no one thing which will do so much to increase the yield as in being abso- lutely sure that the seed planted is sound and possesses the vitality to germinate strong, healthy plant.
 After the corn is tested, all mixed kernels should be removed, and then the tips and butts should be shelled off, in order to give uniform size to all the corn that goes into the planter proper place made for each grade After the planter is tested and 1t is known what grades are needed, the seeds should be shelled, put into sacks done before the rush of spring work begins.
 The grading of the seed is essential because 1t enables the farmer to drop exactly the right number of kernels in each hill, by adjusting the plates of his planter to fit the different grades In no other way can perfect stand be obtained than by the most careful seed selection, testing and grading
 How often do we find in a single hill two or three different grades Of corn? A good ear, perhaps, then a nubbin and next a medium ear.

rolling. While it is desirable to have a loose seed bed without clods, it does not need to be as fine as for wheat.
 The best time for planting, of course, must be judged by the farmer himself according to the season. 1t Is useless to plant corn while the ground is cold and wet, as it will only lie ungermi- mated and too often rot. It is better practice to wait until the ground is warm, say about 60 degrees, at the depth of which the seed is to be planted.
 In Illinois and Iowa, planting runs from May 10 to June 10 at the latest. Indiana runs about week earlier. In Kansas the planting usually begins about the last week in April, but 1t is sometimes continued up to the last ot May. In the southern states planting begins of course two or three weeks earlier.
 Testing the seed is the most im-

Position of ears on stalks. Ear on first stalk, right height and rc3ition. On second stalk, ear Is noy zoo low. but shank Is too long. Stalk No. 3 car ries the ear about six feet from the ground and ear Is held In upright posi- ton, which makes it undesirable. The fourth stalk has several sL -kera. perfect ears-butts and tips filed out, grains plump, well placed, ears hang ing downward frog' he stalk, and all just as We would ii have 1t.
 Why do not all ,,.s in the same field, with soil and cultivation the same, produce similar results? Sim ply because we have neglected the work of selecting seed, germinating 1t and testing it.
 The corn in 100-acre field may pro- duce on the average a very good crop of corn, but when this entire field could be made to produce an almost perfect crop simply by the exercise of good judgment and a few days spent in the selection and preparation of seed, then We can begin te realize what this kind of work means and can figure out its advantages in dollars and cents.

A HARMLESS WAY
To DaRKEN HAIR
Little Sage And Sulphur Makes
Gray Hair Vanish-A Remedy
FOR All Hair Troubles.

Who Goes not know the value OF
Sage and Sulphur for keeping the hair
darl, soit and glossy and in good con
ditiou? AS q matter of fact, Sulphur
is natural element of hair, and a
deGciency of it in the hair is held by
many scalp specialists to be connect
ed with loss of color and vitality of
the hair. Unquestionably, there is
no better remedy for hair and scalp
troubles, especially premature gray
ness. than Sage and Sulphur, if prop
erly prepared.
The Wyeth Chemical Company of
New York put out an ideal preparation
OF this kind, called Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Hair Remedy. in which Sage
and Sulphur are combined with other
valuable remedies for keeping the
hair and scalp in clean, healthy con-
dition.
r your hair is losing its color or
onstanuy coming out, or if you are
troubled with dandruff or dry, itchy
scalp, get a fifty cent bottle Of Wy
-..s Sac and sulphur from your
druggist, use it according to the sim
PIE directions, and see what a differ
enco a few days treatment will make
in the appearance of your hair.
All druggists sell it, under guaran
tee that the money will be refunded

sented

while sitting on a veranda he saw
three of four crows come and perch
upon a neighboring house Soon
gathering from all quarters occurred
until the roof of the guard-house was
blackened with them.
Thereupon prodigious chatter en-
sued 1t was plain that a palaver
was going forward, some of it's partic-
ipants, more eager than others, skip
ping about most energetically. The
officer became much interested and
narrowly watched the proceedings, all
within a dozen yards of him. After
much cawing and clamor, the whole
group suddenly rose into the air and
circled around half a dozen of their
fellows, one of whom had clearly been
told off for punishment, for the five re-
peatedly attacked it in quick success
sion, allowing no opportunity for it to
escape, which it was trying to do, UNI
til they had cast it fiuttering to the
ground
The officer rushed forward to pick
up the bird. He succeeded only in
touching it. for it wriggled away from
his grasp and flew, greatly crippled
and close to tho ground, into some
bushes, where he lost sight of it.
All the other crows, after circling
around the officer and chattering in
anger as he thought, flew away. on

taken by their victim.

DON'T Be thin
No Need Of Being scrawny, Weak And
Emaciated.

In these days of physical culture and
health foods, one would hardly expect
to see any thin, weak emaciated peo-
pie, but in spite of all this, nearly
every person you meet is thin and
scrawny
Good healthy flesh can only be
gained by the use of the proper food,
with thorough assimilation of the fat
giving elements. Nine people out of
ten in order to weigh as much as they
ought and be perfectly healthy, should
use Samose, the great transforming
food Weigh yourself before com
mencing to use these little tablets,
and see how your weight increases.
Samose has valuable hesh-forming
and tissue building properties, and
when it is assimilated with the food,
it causes the lesh-making elements to
lie retained and the eight is naturally
increased.
THE CENTURY DRUG STORE, the
popular druggists, have sold in the
last few weeks. a great many packages
of Samose, every one with their per-
sonal guarantee to refund the money
# it did not give satisfaction, and has
had but one person ask for the money.

COFFEE HURTS
One in Three.

Al is difficult to make people believe
that tea and coffee are a poison t. at
least one person out Of every til. ee,
but peop4e are slowly finding it out.
although thousands of them suffer ter
riDly before they discover the fact.
A New York hotel man says: Zach
time after drinking coffee | became
restless, nervous and excited, so that
| was unable to sit five minutes in one
place, was also inclined to vomit and
suffered from loss of sleep, which got
worse and worse.
"A lady said that perhaps coffee was
the cause of my trouble, and suggested
that | try Postum. | laughed at the
thought that coffee hurt me, but she
insisted so hard that | finally had some
Postum made. have been using it
in place of coffee ever since, for | no
ticed that all my former nervousness
and irritation disappeared. began to
sleep perfectly, and the Postum tasted
as good or better than the old coffee,
so what was the use of sticking to a
beverage that was injuring me?
One day on an excursion up the
country | remarked to young lady
friend on her greatly improved appear
-ance, She explained that some time
u ore she had quit using coffee and
taken Postum. She had gained a num-
Der of pounds and her former palpita-
ton Of the heart, humming in the ears,
trembling Of the hands and legs and
other disagreeable feelings had disap-
peared. She recommended me to
quit coffee and take Postum and was
very much surprised to find that had
ALREADY made the change.
"She said her brother had also re-
caived great benefits from leaving of
coffee and taking on Postum
