BIG FLYING BOAT is FAST
Mecormlck's Craft Covers More Than
Mile a Minute In Hammonds-
port, N. ", Trial.

Hammondsport, N. Y.-Harold F.
McCormicks big flying boat, designed
by Glenn H. Curtiss, was tried out
here and proved successful beyond
Curtiss' expectations. The new flying
boat is large and heavy, as compared
with previous machines of this type
built in America. 1t has a spread Of
more than 40 feet and weighs, when
loaded, considerably more than a ton.
The power plant consists of motor
weighing more than 300 pounds and
developing 196 horse power. 1t was
expected that the boat would be sea-
worthy, but not particularly fast The
trials proved that it would make more
than a mile a minute flying in the air
and about so miles an hour when used
as motor boat in the water.
Mr. Curtiss made the fist trip, ac-
companied by l. A. Villas of Chicago
and another flying boat owner. With
in hundred yards from the starting
point the boat rose from the water
and sailed gracefully down the lake.
1t is said to be McCormick's inten.
ton to use the dying boat between his
office in Chicago and his home at Lake
Forest, 25 miles distant. The Nc.
mick boat was taken back to the fac
tory for the final touches and will be
ready for shipment to Chicago within
short time.

SERIOUS MISTAKE
IN BUYING SEED
Most Satisfactory Results OBJ
tanned in Selecting Variety
Adapted to Locality.
CBy r. @. wEATHERsToNE)

We make a serious mistake when
we buy seed corn that has been grown
in some distant locality and plant 1t
for our general field crop 1t is better
to grow a new variety for two or three
years in our seed plot and tested out
and get it acclimated before we plant
it extensively as a field crop,
II is well known that the corn crop
must have certain climatic conditions
in order to give a profitable yield and
we who live outside of the great corn
belt must devote more or less study
and attention to the selection of va
rieties that are best adapted to out
climate and soil If we make the crop
profitable on our farms.
have always obtained more salts
factory crops Of corn by selecting my
seed corn from some variety that has
grown in my own locality for years.
A variety that has been grown in a
locality for few years is already &C.
climated and by intelligent seed selec-
ton it can be bred into a more pro
life character that will reach maturity
in the climate where it has been per.
fected
Changing seed corn is not a good
practice. So far as changing is con
cerned it may be necessary for US to
change in order to get better founda
ton stock. but when the stock is once
obtained we should stay by it and try
and improve it.

WHAT BEER REALLY BUILDS
Not Physical Strength and intellectual
Capacity, but AImshouses, Prls-
oNs and Sepulehers.

One of the most wilfully deceitful
announcements on the huge signs
which deface the landscape of New
Jersey, close to the tracks of several
great railways between New York and
Philadelphia, proclaims the virtues of
the beer that builds" That particu-
lar beverage does build, but the adj
vertisement carefully conCeals what it
builds. The brewer would leave the
impression that 1t builds physical
strength and intellectual capacity. On
the contrary, 1t diminishes and ulti-
mately destroys these, while it builds
almshouses, insane asylums, prisons
and sepulchers. The amount of nu-
triment in a glass of beer is less than
the quantity contained in as much
-four as could be heaped on the point
of knife blade. The amount of po-
tential waste of brain and Drawn, of
character and spiritual efficiency in
such potation is beyond calculation.
The pure-foOd law should be amended
in such a way as not only to compel
the manufacturers of articles for con,
sumption to declare their ingredients
but also in case they promise results
to the consumer, to indicate specih
cally what kind of effects are produced

autumn, and from Thanksgiving to

While it is true that there is a check
when ported, still, the great thrifty
foliage is compensation for temporary
halt in growth, and really, you will
have larger, stronger and more robust
plants from the same slips by the out

Now is a good time to stick some
slips into the ground for winter bloom

Steamship Agents Blame Decrease Of
30 Per Cent. Chiefly on the
Recent Floods.

New York.-Up to May the first
cabin passenger traffic between this
port and Europe was 357 ahead of the
same period in 1912 west-bound and
1873 bookings ahead east-bound. The
second-cabin passenger traffic showed
an increase of $4,000 west-bound and
2,434 east-bound from Jan. to May 8
over last year
Traffic east-bound from now on will
be about 80 per cent. below last year,
according to the steamship agents.
This, they say, is chiefly due to the
number Of cancellations Of bookings
made in January and February by
persons who were sufferers by the
floods in the middle west and by the
tornado in the Mississippi valley.
Generally the year Of the presiden-
tial election is a poor one for foreign
travel, but 1912 was very good year.
Cancellations have been made in
! the last few days not only on the older
Atlantic liners, but also on the first
cabin bookings of the Imperator,
Mauretania and Olympia.
The Atlantic steamship companies
look to the middle west and the west
for the bulk of their summer tourist
traffic, and the sudden falling of in
the demand for cabin accommodation

traffic later on, but it will have tC
