SEED Will terminate

Hoisington, Sept. 9.-From ten tests
of seed wheat made bby the First Ma
tionaI bank of this city, from so to 95
per cent of the seed terminated. Sam
pies were taken from different parts
of the community; the belief here is
that the failure to germinate in other
tests in this county was because the
tests were made in the ground, which
is too hot from the intense heat of
the summer and that it would be un-
wise to sow wheat until it turns cooler
or a general rain falls.

SAVE EGGS FOR WINTER NOW
Poultry Department Of New York
State College Of Agriculture Gives
Practical Directions.

Eggs at present prices ON the farm
are cheap food. Next winter, when
eggs are scarce and high, why not
have plenty Of cheap eggs for home
use?
The poultry department of the New
York state college Of agriculture at
Cornell university gives the following
directions for preserving eggs in wat
erglass.
The commercial water-glass solu-
tion may be obtained from any drug
store at cost Of about 20 cents a
quart. Mix IL quarts of this solution
with eighteen quarts of pure water.
Water which has been boiled is prefer
able. Stir these until they are thor
oughly mixed. Two eight-gallon jars
are sufficient for thirty dozen eggs, u.s.
ing the amount of solution as prescrib-
ed above. After the waterglass Is
thoroughly mixed divide 1t into the
vessels to be used. Be sure that the
vessels are absolutely clean. Place the
eggs in the water-glass, see that the
tops eggs are covered by at least two
inches Of the liquid, and cover the
jars to prevent evaporation. Place
them in cool place where they will
be undisturbed during the year.
Preserve only absolutely fresh eggs.
Stale eggs will not keep in any pre-
servative. Have your preservative
ready to put the fresh eggs into as you
get them. If you are in doubt as to
their freshness, candle them, or see
If they sink when placed in a dish Of
water. II any egg sinks it is reason
ably fresh. Do not preserve dirty
eggs nor eggs which have been wash
ed.
Waterglass eggs are practically as
good as fresh eggs for most cooking
purposes. II 1t Is desired to boil them,
prick a small hole through the large
end Of the shell before placing them
In the water. The pores Of the shell
have been sealed with the water-glass
solution, and without this pin hole the
expanding air within the shell would
burst 1t.

poa Meat Growing Popular.

The increasing popularity Of dog
meat as a table delicacy among the
poor of Berlin is no better shown than
by the recent decision to erect an
abattoir for dogs This decision was
taken after the city officials had re-
ceived reports on the consumption Of
dog meat In the capital which showed
that such an abattoir was necessary.
The proprietors Of the other abat-
'toirs were consulted and they decided
mot to oppose the project. 1t is now
proposed to establish shops in differ
ent parts Of the city where dog meat
will be sold

Ole's RepIv.

Ole had been discharged by the fore.
man Of the section gang. and when he
was handed his pay envelope asked
for a pass to Chicago. The railroad
official thought to humiliate him and
said: Nov, supposing, Ole. that you
were working for farmer and he
fired you, don't you think you would
have a great deal Of nerve to ask the
farmer to hitch up team and take
you to town after you have been dis.
charged?" WELL" said Ole, perhaps
SO; but II he had his team hitched up
and was going to town anyway,
would think he was pretty mean II he
didn't let me ride" Ole got the pass.

Captain Of Confederate Cavalry TelIs
Of Experience He Had In the

The expression, "the heat of bat.
ue," often used by poets and histo-
r1ans, is usually taken in a figurative
sense and supposed to refer not to
actual temperature Of the combatants
but to the intense emotional excite.
ment under which they labor, says
the Youths Companion. But vet
eran of the Civil war. who ought to
know, declares that the heat of battle
is an actual bodily heat.
1T Is no mere figure Of speech
says Capt. Samuel Chapman, who was
trooper in the battalion of Col John

cavalry commander. ION the con

often almost overpowered by the
sense of oppressive warmth. even in

Use Bellows to Skin Goats.

Great quantities of Mocha goatskins
are imported from Alden, on the Gulf
of Alden, into this country, many skins
coming from Africa. The Abyssin-
ians and Somalis are considered the
most expert in skinning goats. The
former rarely permits his knife to
touch the animal after killing and DUR
ing the skinning process, and by means
of bellows removes the skin in an ex-
cellent condition. Somali women are
also very adept in this art and exercise
great care throughout.

When we were seventeen the future
to us was world unexplored, with
time unlimited.
But at thirty-seven to forty-seven
our perspective has changed.
We look into the future through

which we ought to have done-at long
hours and we'll meant labor which
proved profitless.
And 1t shows in our score.
We stand at the crest Of the hill
the game is half over-to win we must
capitalize the future with experience
gathered from the past.
But we cannot afford to put OF till

We cannot afford to miss even one
opportunity.
There Is a limit-a time limit-and
every day, every hour, every minute Is

And next week we want to know
