Calls, member Of Oak Lodge No. 3
/. o. o. F., submit the following:
WHEREAS, Ii has been the pleasure
of Almighty God to call from among US
the beloved wife of our esteemed friend
and brother, A. Lincoln Calls. who by
her upright Christian living, kindly
deeds and motherly care had won the
admiration and affection of all who
knew her; therefore be it
Resolved. That, deeply conscious Of
our loss. we should be willing to say as
did Christ in his greatest sorrow THY
will be done. H." Though the ways of our
Lord may sometimes seem strange, yet
they are ever for the good of those who
love and trust Him; and be it further
Resolved, That we extend to Brother
Calls and the bereaved family our
heartfelt sympathy in this their time of
sorrow; and be it further

IT'S but the voice that Jesus sends
To call them to his arms.
Are we not tending upward too
AS fast as time can move?
Nor should we wish the hours move
slow
To keep us from our love.

day to a full week. Not all OF the
mines have been affected, but nearly
all Of the producing interests have
suspended operations at one or more
largest producers closed all OF their
col1eries temporarily toward the end of
the week.
In addition to this there has been
more or less GOAL going into stock, and
some Of the storage plants which had
been bare of domestic sizes for more
than a year now contain g. fair-Sized
tonnage. Most of this stocking, how
ever, is the result of varying demand
for different sizes, the bulk of the coat
laid down being egg, with a small
amount of nut. What demand there is
runs largely to stove coal, and in many
case if a dealer cannot get a straight
lot OF that size he places his order for
shipment next month, being unwilling
to take any of the other sizes at the
full circular. To meet this situation
some Of the companies are filling or
ders for straight stove and putting
nut and egg in storage, but this prac-
tfce is not general and the usual plan
is TO accept only mixed orders.
E The few cold days last week helped
the retailers move part of their stock
but the only effect at wholesale was
30 bring out a few scattering orders
from dealers who were running short
the retail trade is to do as little buy
ing as possible this month, and even
when offered individual coal at April
circular they are inclined to hold off
unless the coal is needed for current
use. Apparently they believe that the
individuals will sell at the April cir
cular until we'll along IN the summer
and that to buy for storage now, when
the coal can be had as cheap two or
three months hence, is a useless tying
up of funds.
With the dealers taking this posi-
ton there was nothing for the indi-
viduals to do but restrict. They are
still selling considerable coal, and some
of the stove and nut is going at or
near the winter circular, but the num-
Der of retailers who win buy any size
except at a concession ts steadily be-
coming smaller. The companies ex-
pect rush Of bushes after the first
of April, and in fact a. good many or
ders have already been booked for
shipment at the spring discount.
Restriction has not helped the steam
sizes any yet, but they will I'M
doubtedly become less plentiful toward
the end of the month. All the buck
wheat sizes are in good supply, though
there is no great accumulation of No.

much is being ordered.

Another point of progress in the

the earlier years of the preceding de-

and the approach more sentimental

that every man is everywhere gearing

THE SONG OF THE MARCH WIND

am the minstrel, the maker of mirth
And the forest my harp is;
From the fbres asleep in the heart of
the earth,
Where its wool and its warp is,
fashion the Spring
With tho song that sing!
I, that am breathed of the mouth of
my God,
Am His music in motion;
And His breath on my wings shakes
the s1uInbering sod
And the floor of the ocean,
And I fashion the Spring.
With the song that singi
am the breath of your nostri1s, o.!
man,
And akin to your spirit;
But our Gods voice was mine ere
your singing began.
So rejoice when you hear it,
For I bring you the Spring
With the song that L sing!

SUFFRAGE HEARING
Tuesday to Be the Big Day
at the Capitol
csurrage Headquarters.)

"a Women from all over the State are
planning to go DO Hartford next Tues
day for the hearings before the Joint
nComu4ttees of the House and Senate.
O'Clock In the chamber Of the House,
and the case for woman suffrage will
he presented by all the prominent
workers in the suffrage cause in Con-
nectdcut- None but Connecticut men
and women viii be heard next Tues
day, for the plan of the Connecticut
,SunEage Association is to leave the
cause entirely in theahands OF it's own
members, assisted by members of the
Connecticut Mems League for Woman
Suffrage. After the hearings the Hart
for Equal Franchise League will keep
open house at the Woman Suffrage
headquarters, "a Ford street, midway
between the Capitol and the railway
station. Tea will be served there for
the out OF town visitors, and oppor-
~funity given for a rest before train
time for the women who have jour
neyS to make.
Two years ago there was deep in
terest IN the hearing at the Capitol
Since then, however. the course of
events has been such as to give far
greater Importance to the hearings on
Tuesday Since 1911 four States have
granted the right to vote to their wo-
men, and next month Michigan is to
vote again on an amendment to her
constitution which everybody believes
was actually carried last November,
though by fraud or trickery the vote
was counted against the women. New
York and New Jersey have both taken
the first step towards the amendment
of their constitutions-thel step that
the women are asking the Conn ecticut
LEGISLATURE to take this year, and 1914
and 1915 will probably see these great
and populOu5 States in the suffrage
column Besides all these States suf-
frage amendments are awaiting the
popular vote in Nevada, Montana and
South Dakota Two of these States
will probably adopt the woman Suf-
frage this year, while the third will
come in before the end of 1914. If the
Conn. Legislature fails to pass the res
oIution in the present session it looks
rs though Connecticut would be in the
very tail end of the procession as re-
CARDS the acknowledgment of her wo-
men.

Grading, Testing And
Smelling Seed Corn

Take time by the forelocIc and get
the seed corn and the corn planter
ready for operation now before the
rush of the other spring work. The
soil and the seed are two prime re-
qutsites. of a profitable corn. crop. At
this time of the year there are many
days when weather or soil conditions
prevent blowing or other field work,
that can proftab1y be used in irnprov-
ing the quality Of the seed corn. The
seed cupply can be improved in quail
ity and productiveness by discarding
the poor ears and the poor kernels.
Gull Out Objectionable Ears Before
Testing or Smelling.
The best time to grade seed corn is
before Smelling. The Office of Corn In
Vestigations Of the u. g. Department
of Agriculture proved by careful field
experiments than an ear having kerr
nels of undesirable shapes produces
ears most of which have kernels of
undesirable shapes. All ears that are
undesirable for one reason or another
should be discarded before making
termination tests.
Good Care Obviates Much Gernina-
ton Testing.
At this season for several years past
a number of satisfactory means have
been described for testing the gernin-
alton of a, few kernels from each seed
ear. Those who have neglected to take
good care of their seed corn may now
find dead ears among their supply.
In such cases it will be profitable to
test the termination of each ear sep
arately. Where well adapted varieties
are grown that properly mature before
frost, poor termination has never been
found among ears selected as soon as
mature and cared for properly. Those
who have given their seed proper care
should pick out 100 representative ears
.fy<a % TOW
grains from each ear. If these eaNB
terminate well it is not necessary to
test the balance of the seed supply.
Why Nub the Seed Ears?
Before Smelling, the small kernels
should be discarded from an inch or
more off the tips Of the ears Accu-
rate field tests have proved these
small kernels to be les productive than
the fully developed kernels of the same
ears. The thick, irregularly shaped
kernels should also be discarded from
the butts of tha ears. These kernels

OR shape prev ents the corn planter
from dropping them satisfactorily. 1t
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1913-03-14

is convenient to nub the entire supply
of ears before tae Smelling process IS
begun.
How to Shell Seed Corn.
Many farmers who plant 20 or 40
acres of earn, carefully shell their seed
and are profted by 80 doing. 4 few
remarkably successful extensive corn
growers shell hundreds Of bushels BY
hand. Where much seed f. required
there is a strong temptation TO run Sc
through the corn shelter. Hand she'll
ing is profitable for the small farmer
and therefore more profitable for the
extensive farmer. The shelter breaks
or cracks some Of the kernels and
there is not the opportunity of exam
lining kernels from different portions
of each ear as in Smelling by hand.
After being nubbed the proper WY 70
shell the seed ears IL to shell By hand,
one ear at a time, into sieve that
will let the chan fall through and
leave ell the kernels from the ear n
plain view for inspection. If unsatfg-
factory, all the kernels can be easily
discarded and another ear shei1ed. Tbs
ears should not be sheIled directly into
the general seedi supply for # would
then be difficult to separate and Dis
card the undesirable kernels.
Does Your Planter Drop satisfacto-
rily?
If the corn planter gave trouble last
poor corn planter 10 an expensive 4En-
plenent to use. Even though the
planter dropper satisfactorily last year
it should be tested with this years
seed supply before planting time ar
rives. The kernels Of variety Of
corn frequently very IN size from sea
son to season and different plates may
be needed this year from those used
satisfactorily last year.
Under favorable field conditions 10 or
20 per cent of the kernels or young
stalks are destroyed. Where extensive
paintings are made with first class
seed and thinning is impracticabis
about five kernels should be planted
for every four stalks desired. Where
help is obtainab1e that will attend
properly to the thinning, It IS more
profitable to plant twice as many kerr
nels as stalks desired and thin out th@
weak plants as son as they become
too large and hard to be destroyed by
cutworms:

Extensive preparations are being
made to send north an expedition with

Reports from San Geronimo, Santa

every promise of being successful, and
that agricu1turists in other depart

experimenting in this cultivation.
The tobacco crop in the province of
Tucuman is expected to be an excel

The time is at hand when draft
horses and mules need the most
considerate treatment, says the
Knoxville Sentinel. They should
not be driven as hard or loaded so
heavily as in winter. They should
be given longer pauses and should
be allowed to breathe easily before
essaying heavy grades. They need
shade and water frequently. They
will be grateful for protection to
the head from the intense rays of
the sun. Kindness to teams at
this season will be repaid in better
work and in better condition.
