Plans for Formation of New
Party Go on-Denver to
Get Convention.

CHICAGO. June 22-Active steps to-
ward the formation of a progressive
party, with Theodore Roosevelt as its
standard bearer, were taken today.
Colonel Roosevelt went into confer
ence shortly after O'Clock with repre-
seltatives of nearly all the states, and
Ipon the results of that conference will
depend the program that will be imme-
diately followed with reference to the
organization Of movement for which
a convention will he held during the

James r. Garfield, who was a mem

administration, said this morning as he
went into the conference of Roosevelt
supporters in the F1orentfne room at
the Congress hotel:

fore the convention today. The plan
for his nomination by the third party
will be made at the conference to which
I am now going. 1t is possible that the
nomination may be made In Chicago
tonight, but I am inclined to the view
that 1t will be deferred until August,
and that Denver will be selected as the
place for it's making"

BRYAN sat in his little reporters

IN LESS STRENUOUS TIMES
Explanation Of the Difference Be-
tween Domestic Standards Now
and Those Of Long Ago.

In tho Woman's Homo Companion
there Is an interesting presentation OF
the difference that exists between the
domestic standard OF young married
women of today and those OF the past
generation. How did the women or
the middle class OF generation or
two ago manage when they could not
keep help? Following is the answer
quoted from q Companion editorial:
They lived according TO their
means; they did not set up impossible
standards, and they knew much less
about the science OF bringing up chill
dren. They had no special style 10
keep up: gave the children q weekly
bath; Kept the table set between
meals; did not serve their meals in
courses, but put all the food on the
table at once: confined their social
affairs to evening calls ana parties,
and church suppcrs, at which they
wore the same black silk dress for at
least two seasons; In short, every
woman did only what she could. and
her friends made It easter for her by
doing likewise

TESTING THE SEED CORN
DAMPNESs IN FALL WEAkENs VI
TALLY OF THE GERM.
College Of Agriculture, University of
Missouri.

This year 1t Is more than ordinarily
important that all seed corn be tested
before planting II 1t is not done,
there is likely to be q disappointing
lot OF replanting to do and many weak
plants will be found in the field.
In many places last year the corn
stood in the field late before It was
gathered. At the same time there was
much moisture in the air and the corn
stayed damp. Immediately following
this came q stretch Of cold weather.
These are the conditions which tend
very strongly to weaken the vitality
of the germ In corn, II not to kill 1t
entirely. A dry kernel may be ex-
posed to extremely cold temperatures
without bad effects. But a wet or
damp kernel which goes below the
freezing temperature is likely to be In
5ured seriously. The tiny cells OF the
seed are likely to be burst open with
the freezing Just as q barrel bursts
when 1t is full OF Ice.
The testing OF seed corn Is not so
complicated q task as might seem.
In effect, It consists of taking a certain
number of kernels from each ear and
placing them In moist warm place
where they may germinate and sprout.
II they all sprout. 1t is taken for grant
cd that the ear is all right. II they
do not start off right, or If they make
q weak growth, 1t is q pretty sure
sign that there is something wrong
with the ear. and that 1t is not strong
enough to use for seed. In taking out
the kernels for termination, 1t is best
TO take out five or six, and to take
each from q different part Of the ear.
This Ia because one side OF an ear may
be all right while another side lacks
in vitality, for some reason.
Many farmers have an idea that by
looking over an ear they can tell
whether 1t will be good for seed. The

The per cent Of fat In the cream
varies In direct proportion TO the per
cent OF fat in the milk. The ratio OF
cream to skim milk is not changed
by variation in the richness of the
milk separated. The rate of inflow,
and the loss OF fat in the skim milk
is not affected apprcciably by the per
cent of fat in the milk.
The rate of inflow changes the ra-
ito Of cream to skim milk to some
extent, but the whole difference is not

the per c7At Of fat in separator cream
are: Speed of the machine, tcmpera.
ture Of the milk, per cent of fat in
the milk, and rate OF inflow.
An increase in the speed causes the
Bklm milk to flow out with greater
velocity, which increases the capacity
of the skim milk tubes. AS q result,
there IS Il larger proportion of skim
milk, and the cream has q higher per
cent Of fat. This rule holds with all
machines tried except the Simplex
when adjusted to deliver thin cream,
when the reverse Is true. The effect
due to change in speed is much
more marked when the cream screw
Is set to deliver cream having a high
per cent Of fat than when thinner
cream is separated. The rate OF in.
flow is affected to a very slight ex-
tent by the speed of the bowl through
the suction produced as a result OF a
partial vacuum in the revolving bowl.
The loss of fat in the skim milk
Is much greater II the speed is much
below normal. There is considerable
difference in this respect due to the
construction of the machine. In gen.
eral at three-fourths of the normal
speed, the loss of fat in the skim
blk Ia around 2 per cent, or about
three times the loss ut normal speed.
Contrary to the statements found
in many textbooks, reducing the tenn
perature of the milk causes O higher
proportion of skim milk and a smaller
amount of cream with a higher per
cent OF fat. The result is much more
pronounced whom the separator is ad.
justed to deliver cream with a high
per cent OF fat. Tho rate OF inflow to
