Save Your Seed Corn Now

The College of Agriculture of the
University Of Wisconsin urges every
corn grower in the state to pick a
surplus of seed corn for next year aud
to select it at once. Corn inherits
its good and bad points. as animals do.
knowledge of the parents of an ear of
corn is as necessary as the pedigree of
a herd bull. The only way to know
the pedigree of seed corn is to take a
sack into the field now, and select
ears of proper shape, not much over
medium size, on which the kernels
are almost too hard to peel-with the
finger nail. The ears should promise
a large percentage of shelled corn,
should be growing on strong leafy
stalks at good reaching distance from
the ground aud away from any barren
stalks, whose pollen might have
fertilized the silk of the seed ear.
The size of an ear May be due to
the special fertility of the soil in that
hill, or to the absence of competitors
which would take away moisture and
food and sunlight. /; but note the
proportion of shelled grain, the early
maturity or the suitability of the
stalks for your purpose, all of which
are inherited characteristics.
One man can pick five bushels of
seed corr in u day, ordinarily, and

an increase of a bnshel per acre in

the thirty acres that would be plant

INVESTIGATE FIRST
State Advancement Association Says
Buy No Land Before Seeing

1t you must buy western or other
distant land at all, If you are dissat-
isfied with Wisconsin, don't buy on
trust. There is much good land
everywhere, in the west as elsewhere.
but it is not to be found through
study of the sort of literature real
estate agents send out. With a COM
mission to 60 as far as they like; the
romaneeIs who write the circulars for
lands for which there is insufficient
demand at home overlook no argu-
ment that may attract a prospective
buyer. Their descriptions sound
we'll, of course. That's what they
are written for. If they are true, the
investor may purchase. But are they
true ? That's the vital question. Some
doubtless are largely correct, although
few are not exaggerated. but many,
there is reason to believe, are mis-
statements deliberately made to de-
ceive.
When q. j.. Felber, Lacrosse bust
ness man and careful observer, who
has just returned from a long trip.
says that many sections of the far
west are greatly overrated and hun
dreds of thousands have been lured
from the Mississippi valley and the
adjoining country by statements and
promises that have not been and
never can be verified, I" that he was
particularly disappointed in che
quality of the soil in many Of the far
western states which have been ex-
tensively advertised as a farmers
paradise. " and that thousands upon
thousands of those who have invested
in these western farms are making
moderate profits only by the greatest
industry an1 by more strenuous labor
than they had been accustomed to
paFfsm before they left Wisconsin
and other middle western states, it
is time for the person who is consider
ing investment by mail to call eff
negotiations and keep his money. If
he must buy at all. he should be on
the spot.
The Leader Press has no intention
of belittling western and southern
lands. 1t believes there is much
good land yet unoccupied which ought
to be settled and producing. But
while the development of new ter
ritory is in the hands of spectators
who have no motive other than the
taking of the last dollar of profit from
the small man who is seeking a home,
deals ia over-expIoited sections should
be made only with the greatest eau
tion and with a liberal discounting of
even the best supported promises. La
Crosse Leader Press.
The difference between the land
literature of the west and south and
that of Wisconsin is that they use
every conceivable story of the success
Of individuals, while in Wisconsin we
use the latest United Satates census
reports. which give the average re-
turns of each county. In other words.
they give the largest possible figures
which are not officially authenticated

The official canvass of the vote
cast in the 30 voting precincts of
Grant county at the September
primary was continued to unexpected
length last week by several unusual
circumstances The new law, which
provides for a second choice as we'll
as a first choice where there is more
than one candidate for a certain
Office, added much to the complexity
and labor OF the count. This law
was not generally understood by the
voters and only a small proportion of
them availed themselves of its provi-
sions.
The contest over the republican
nomination for sheriff was sufficiently
close that W. B. Dyer. one of the
candidates for that Office. asked for a
recount of the second choice votes in
81 precincts. When this recount
was under way it was discovered that
two of tn towns in the county had
failed to forward their ballots here for
the canvass and they had to be sent
for.
The recount made bat very little
change in the vote as previously an
nounced and left Mr.. Dyer's plurality
practically where it had been before.
We give below the vote received by
each candidate as officially determin-
ed in the canvass. after the second
choice votes had been added:

Man power and Coal Power.

Does any one realize the power OF
coal as worker? A man was set to
work to pump as hard as he could all
day, and at the end of ten hours 1t
was found that he had done just as
much work as a little less than two
ounces of coal could do.
Taking all the energy put forth by
a Woodworking man during one whole
year, the same amount Of force would
be furnished by SO pounds Of good
coal, or say 40 pounds of average
coal
We produce six tons head of pop
ulation, and this contains the energy
of 1886 men working for a whole year
or course, even in our best engines
the greater part OF the working en-
ergy OF coal is wasted But even II
only one-tenth is turned to account
one and half hundred weight OF coal
is equal TO a man working for 800
days of the year.
A horse can do as much work as ten
men, but one and a quarter pounds OF
coal has as much working force as a
horse expends in one day. So that a
ton of coal. II We could use all its
force. would do as much work as six
horses working for whole year.

Earlier wireless advices, today, had told
of the collision as occurring in latitude

though the Allegheny was badly dam
aged, it was believed she could reach port
under her own power. Tonight's advices
although meagre are to the effect that
the damage to her hull was far more
serious than was at first supposed and
that she sank not far from the point
where the collision occurred, the Ponia-
ron taking on board the sinking liners,
passengers and crew. The Pomaron's
bow was badly stove in, but seemed to
be holding well through moderate sea
with a strong northwest breeze blowing.
The revenue cutter Onondaga fastened
to the scene of the collision in response
to wireless calls and she reported. to-
night. that she had .'picked up the POM
aron % miles east-southeast of Hog Is

the Virginia capes. The advices, today.
indicated that the collision occurred in IL
