Test Your Seed Corn.

The average yield of corn in West Viz
ginia can be doubled this season if every
farmer will test his seed corn. Quit re-
planting; it is not profitable. You can
well afford to quit repIanting if you test
every ear before you plant il; in fact if
the testing is properly done. there will be
no need of replanting. Last year the
College of Agriculture tested several hun
dred samples of seed corn from nearly
every section of the State and one sample
tested 90 poor grains to every s good
ones. The average test would have given
but one half stand Of corn. Do moi
blame the weather or the soil when you
have failed to test your seed corn.

,,a,,n. rarmers Invent a Postoffice.

undi.na Farmers Invent P0stoffice.
Farmers and country folk of an Indiana
community have Invented" rural de-
livery postoffice. The Postoffice De-
partment received word about it and
thinks the idea good one.
When the government abandoned the
postoffice in New Market, Indiana, and
instituted regular rural mail service in its
stead, the Hoosiers of that vicinity were
not altogether pleased with the change.
They missed the old-time social custom
of coming together to exchange views on
the crops, politics and the weather, while
the postmaster leisurely handed out the
various letters and packages. and read
the post cards.
Oscar Hartman, of Marysville, came to
the rescue with an original suggestion !:
Why not have all the mail boxes, for
some little distance round at least, CEN
tered in one spot, thus preserving some
thing OF the spirit of the past ? The idea
was eagerly settled upon and executed
| in such way as to materially assist the
rural carrier on this route.
Upon tree stump, cut down to an ap-
propriate height, an old wagon wheel
was set, big dowell being left in the
| center of the stump for an axle for the
wheel. Mail boxes were nailed upon
the rims and spokes. The rural carrier
does not have to get out of his rig. He
drives up, turns the wheel on its pivot,
reaching each OF the fourteen boxes in
turn. When his rig is sighted, it serves
as call signal for the neighborhood.
A teacher was trying to have his pupils
form some conception of the live senses,
but one little chap failed to grasp any idea
of the lecture.
"You know am here, don't you. John
ME 2"
Johnnie nodded assent.
"Well, how do you know ?"
al can see you."
exactly; there you have the first OF
the senses, seeing Now, you should
close your eyes would you still know |
am here ?"
ayes, sir"
"And how would you know ?"
With his face beamiug with intelligence,
Iohrnie quickly responded:
al know, teacher; can smell, too"

or Of the thin glass covering It. Only
an expert can safely focus such a micro
scope. Tbs danger is entirely avoided
when merely the focusing Of the eye
tube is under the pupils control.
But the great excellence Of this inven-
ton consists in the double view OF the
same object. With the old-fashioned
microscope the medical student study
ing bacteria and similar objects has to
make his observations without the i'm
mediate assistance and direction OF his
teacher. He goes by the descriptions
that have been given him before he
placed his eye at the microscope, and
is unable to call the teachers atten-
ton instantly to any popularity which
may attract his attention.
But when teacher and pupil look ST.
multaneously at the same object the
questions of the former can be an
swered AT the moment and the teacher
can indicate the special features TO be
noticed with incomparably greater ex-
actness and certainty.
It would be quite possible to arrange
a similar device for use with a telescope,
and It would be very advantageous.
When an amateur looks. for instance at
the moon or the planet Jupiter with a
telescope he sees a multitude Of strange
things which he can not describe-com-
plicated craters. mountain ridges and
valleys in one case and shifting bands Of
clouds in the other-and in order to
have his questions about them answered
he must remove his eye from the tele-
