carefully. In all cases in which all
the kernels are not strong in germina.
tion the ear should be thrown away,
for no farmer can afford to plant
seed that will not germinate.
For the rag doll test buy a few
yards Of sheeting of good quality and
tear it into strips 8 inches wide and
from three to Ave feet long. II It is
planned TO use the strips a number
OF times, hem the edges. as otherwise
the ravelings sometimes disarrange
the kernels in unfolling. There is no
cheaper. more convenient and accu-
rate method Of testing seed corn than
by the rag doll tester. A few OF its
advantages are:
The cheapest tester which can be
made.
Anyone can make the tester in a
moments time.
Corn may be placed in the tester
and the test read approximately as
quickly as any other tester.
n one wishes to use the water
method. the construction Of this tester
is well adapted for this. If saturated
atmosphere with moist cloth contact
is desired. this may be secured by
leaving the rolls in the water only
long enough to become thoroughly
moistened
Less mold develops In this tester
than any other.
May be disinfected for mold most
easily.
Very compact, and can be moved
from one place to another without
difficulty.
All parts OF the kernel, roots,
shoots. etc, can be readily seen.
Gives an accurate test. as indicated
by field results.

GEORGE MORTIMER PuLLMAn.

Pullman was born in a family of N 4
crate circumstances, n at the age :
fourteen went to work in a small storn ,
boy-of-all-work. At seventeen. he we-t
to work for his older brother as a ca hlnet
maker. The knowledge gained at this
work proved to be valuable to him in
after years.
He earthly saved his earnings, and at
the age of twenty-ene, had a few dol
lars with which to begin business. At
this time the Erie Canal was In process
of widening, and all sorts of buildings
had to be removed, so young Pullman be-
gan making contracts. This work proved
profitable, and soon after he moved to
Chicago and continued in this business.
In 1853 he became interested in the
Sleeping car problem. The cars in use
then contained three tiets OF shelves on
each side of the car and were far from
comfortable. He began experimenting,
and in a few years built the first Pullman
Car, the pioneer" at a cost of $4,000.
Success came step by step, and In 1881
80, the gross earnings of the company
amounted to more than ten million dol
lars. Today they pay from tWenty-fvs
to seventy-five thousand dollars for each
Pullman car.

There are three important news arti- eleS in the May Metropolitan. "N hat is the matter with MeXicofN by John Kenneth Turner, who was imprisoned as a spy recently by the Huefta Gov ernment, Is a convincing account ot the real cause Of the constant disturb, ances in Mexico. In "rhe Case or Beulah Millef,' Hugo MunsteToerg, the Harvard psychologist, offers an interesting explanation ot the latest psychic mystery. "rhe New Contiol of our Theaters,m by Louis Sherwin, Is an inside story of the recent treaty Of peace between the warning theatrical managers, and it's importance to the playgoer throughout the country. other articles aren Bread and theSoulN by George D. Heron, and "A Black Martha and Her School, by Harrison Rhodes. There are seven short stories in the May issue by Emerson Hough, Richard Washhurn Child, Allen san gree, Joseph Conrad and others. In addition there are many attractive pictorial features, including a painting in colors.

HOW CHRONIC COUGRS
Are Being Cured by Vinol.

Did you ever cough for month! Then just think how distressing 1t must be to have cough hang on for three months.
 Mrs. Maria Primrose, of S7 Newell Street. Brooklyn. N Y., says T had very heavy cold which settled into n chronic cough. which kept me awake nights for fully three months, and felt tired all the time because my rest was broken so much. The effect Of taking your cod liver and iron rem edy. Vinol, is that my cough is gone. l can now get good nights rest, and l feel much stronger in every way.
 It Is the combined action Of the medicinal clements, cods' livers. aided by the blood-making and strength creating properties of tonic iron which makes vinol so efficient in curing chronic coughs, colds and bronchitis at the same time building up the weakened, rundown system.
 Try a bottle of yinol. with the un- derstanding that your money will be returned if il does not help you.

THE PUTNAM PATRIOT April as 1873

The petition of ths strong. Barnes < Hart company of New Haven for change in the law so that a calf six weeks old though 1t does not weigh 60 pounds. may be proper food for sale, was unfayorably reported.
 Senator Isbsll will seek to have amended the bill allowing the city of New Haven to manufacture and sell ice He will introduce an amendment providing that the city shall harvest fee as well as manufacture 1t, bsliey- ing that the city should utilize the pone at SpringdaIe farm for that par- pose.
 Kick on Hospital Clause.
 An attempt will be made in the Sen ate to hold up the bill amending the charter of the General Hospital so ciety because West Hayeners object to the clause which permits the hos pital to build a tuberculosis sana- torium in Allingtown. The measurs. has already passed the House. The trouble has arisen over the clause which empowers the hospital to build in New Haven and vicinity, which is taken as meaning Allingtoyn. A plan to build in AllinKtown some time ago was thwarted by popular resentment and threat of injunction. The hospi- tai owns the Lion park property there and Orange citizens see in the bill an attempt to assure the corporation of legal authority to erect the tubercu- iosis structure there.
 Road Gave Retsiners.
 Judge E. E. Cole, of Waterbury. stated that he did not say that the lawyers in the present Assembly re- ceiyed retainers from the New Haven road. This is what he says he said "It used to be rumored that the New Haven road gave retainers of s1,000 to each of the lawyer members of the Senate and 1900 to each of the lawyer members of the House My statement in no way reflected on the present As sembly or any member of 1t and the remark was one that might have been made by any one in the course of an after dinner speech"
 State Park Wanted.
 Residents Of Orange, and other, folk, appeared before the judiciary committee in behalf of a bill creating a State reservation and park at Savin Rock, following up hearing given a few months ago by the State Park Commission. With good judgment the promoters of the plan have secured Charles F. Roberts ip their interests and he can bring the matter to the attention of the committee when he pleases. He opened the hearing and outlined the bill 10 the members say ing that 1t provided for commission to supervise and carry out the work which will follow the condemnation of one and three-quarters mile of the beach al Savin Rock and make Of it a park for the benefit of the people of the State at an expense of s50,000.

Ap- parently it gives the city court of Waterbury an associate judge and an assistant prosecuting attorney, both receiving a like salary as their su- periors. The plan, it is announced, includes retaining the two existing off cials. who are republicans. and then adding the two new ones who will be democrats. By this plan everybody can be satisfied.

The Convenience of The Local Store


 Have you ever thought what kind Of a place this would be to live inf there were no local stores?
 Yet some of our people persist in the policy of buying in other cities as lar as they can, or by mail order. II they want yeast cake or spool of thread, they get it at home sometimes even de- manding delivery. But fl they have dress or table to buy, something in which there Is some margin of profit, the order goes away.
 Isn't 1t mighty convenient sthing to have the home stores so that when you want the yeast cake or spool Of thread or a thousand other things, you can ge them quick?
 If the policy of buying away from home should ever become general, many lines of goods now kept here could not be kept. The public would suffer distinct inconvenience, and the first ones to kick woulk be those who now buy away from home.
 On the contrary, if everyone bought everything possible at home, many lines of goods could be improved, and new ones added, thus making it pos sible to trade with the least expendi- ture of time .-Ex.
