CLEANING AND GRADING OATS.

o. Seed oats should be carefully
screened and graded before sowing.
This work is ordinarily done with the
mill, the light oats and some of the
trash being taken out by a current of
air, while the small oats and most of
the weed seeds are removed by means
of screens. The process should take
out one-third or one-fourth of the oats,
but If the seed is very light much
larger proportion should be removed.
Many of the small, light oats will not
terminate at all, while others produce
weak plants, which materially reduce
the yield. Screening also greatly re-
duces the proportion of weed seed,
thus preventing the spread Of weeds
and further favoring the growth Of
the oat crop. z..'..-. =.

Experimenting WITH OATS.
Only Plump, Heavy Seed Should Be
Chosen for Large Yields.

National Crop Improvement Service.1
BY sowing only plump seed definite
increases in yield may be expected.
At the Ontario station (annual re-
port 1909 an experiment was con-
Quoted to determine the difference In
yield to be secured by sowing the
heavy and light seed of given varie-
ty. For the first three years Of the
experiment the difference was 1914
bushels per acre in favor of the
heavy seed and for the last three
years the difference in yield was PA
bushels per acre in favor of the heavy
seed.
Furthermore the difference In
weight per bushel increased from go
pounds the first three years to 9.6
pounds the last three years of the ,ex.
pertinent. This shows decided ad'
vantage to be secured by thorough
grading and sowing only heavy seed

BANDED JUKES WITH KINGS
Witty saIites Which Royalty Has IN.
voked, Sometimes Very Much ct
Their Own Expense. :.

Thomas Carlyle observed that
kings are Ill to joke VII" but there
have nevertheless been plenty of job
ers so audacious as to Josh" royalty
with impunity. Indeed. there have
been rulers with a we'll developed
sense of humor, such as Charles IL,
capable of enjoying sally at their
expense. .... FL
It is related that one day when
Charles was inspecting a warship al
Chatham he asked Killigrew: Don't
you think that I should have made q
good shipwright?" Charles was proud
Of his reputed skill in naval architec'
ture, and, no doubt, by this query
sought compliment. But KilHgreW
who was nothing of courtier, re
piled instead: ... p. .---~..., :,....-.
Il have always thought that your
majesty would do better at any trade
than your own"
A lively example Of French retort
to royalty is afforded by the story OF
Marshal Bassompierre and Louis
XIII. The marshal had given his ma
jesty an account of his embassy to
Spain, setting forth the manner In
which he had entered the Spanish cap
ital mounted on mule. IAN ass
seated on a mule!" exclaimed Louis
with a laugh. Yes, sir" replied the
marshal, "and the joke Of It was rep
resented you!" !
Good old Queen Bess, it appears
had a pretty wit. which she was by
no means loath to exercise upon hel
subjects. In one verbal duel, at least
Elizabeth got the worst of It.. Observ
ing in the gardens a courtier to whom
she had promised promotion that had
not materialized, her majesty thrust
her head out of the window and called
to him:
What does a man think of. Sir Ed
ward. when he thinks of nothing"
"Of woman's promise, your ma,
jesty!" was the response.
Among the neatest retorts to royal
ty whereof we have record was that
alleged to have been made to the
Prince Of Wales, afterward King VIII
lam w., by the secretary of the ad
miralty.
William had been bantering the sec
rotary for some time at table. when
l am king" said he, you shall not b
secretary to the admiralty. What ID
you say to that?"
God save the kingl" rejoined thu
witty secretary.

WAR DIDN'T AFFECT
PRICE OF C|GARETS
No Material Advance in Cost
of "Coffin Nails" Say
Dealers.

The material advance in the whole
sale prices of cigarets is anticipated
by local dealers as a result of the re-
cent war in the Balkans. The dealers
say that there was comparatively little
! fighting in the tobacco growing re-
gions and that only a few warehouses
were destroyed by the two armies.
Any advance in the wholesale price,
will, it is believed, result from the
short crop caused by the withdrawal of
many laborers from the tobacco patch
es to serve in the army.
Within the last few days most of the
local retail tobacco stores have receiv-
ed large consignments of pipes for the
winter trade. The number of pipe
smokers, the dealers say, increases to
a marked extent with the first cold
weather. Many men, it is said en-
brace this opportunity to get away
from the cigaret habit INDUCED in dur
ing the summer. While the amount OF
tobacco sales increases with the ap-
proach of cold weather there is no ap-
preciable falling off of the sales of Gig

CITY NOT TO TRIM
TREES ALONG STREETS

No provision has been made by the
city to cut dead limbs from the trees.
While many citizens believe that the
dead limbs are grave danger to the
pedestrians, the city has no money set
aside with which to employ men to
attend to this.
The officials do not believe there is
any danger of persons being hit by
falling limbs and say that it is the
duty of the property owners to keep
the trees trimmed.
A few trees were trimmed by
George Won Carleton this spring on
orders from the city. the cost being
paid by the house owners. Won Garlic
zon was given blank orders and in
structed to trim any trees which need
ed it. Only those were trimmed which
were so low as to brush the hats of
pedestrians.

SALT LAKE, Aug. Fate
and the. law have robbed the
criminal of a tool with which he
might have terrorized the world.
The tool was tiny electric
spark which could be shot with
out wires, the far-reaching, un-
seen hand of murder and de-
struction.
w. L. Cummings, still boy,
who since childhood has studied
electricity; a dreamy genius, i'm
practical in a worldly sense, con-
fiding and easily frightened, was
perfecting spark coil capable of
throwing without wires an cleo
trio spark $50 miles. His coil
was not practical for commercial
use. He hoped to adapt it to
railway switch systems and in op-
Grating stock tickers on ship
board.
He was at the end of his re-
sources when a man-Cummings
says his name is Charles Burg
asked him If he wanted to make
some money. Cummings said he
did.
Then draw on the bottom of
this letter." Cummings says Burge
told him, "the picture of a suit
case containing dynamite, nitro
glycerine and guncotton, and
then arrange the wires to show
how you could touch it off with
your spark"
Cummings did as directed;
then he read the letter. 1t was to
Dorothy Bamberger, daughter of
j. e. Bamberger, millionaire min
ing man, and demanded $1,000 or
her life.
Just look over the enclosed
drawing and you will realize how
helpless you are in our hands,"

Now" snarled Burge, GIVE
got you. If don't get you the
police will; SO you'd better stick
to me and carry this through"
Frightened, Cummings consent
ed. He said he would do any
thing that Burge directed. The
letter was sent-as were others.
Detectives caught him and he con-
fessed.
Now he is awaiting trial. Burge,
or perhaps it is another name
now, has dropped out of sight.
Just one more "job" has failed,
and he has lost good thing

stroy every civilized community
