B., professor of English Literature at Yale College, andsinstructor of pub lie speaking .at Yale law school, in- struetor in elocution and pulpit deliv- cry at the Hartford theological semi nary, and lecturer in Chautaaqua cir -eles, will give an evening of humor- .ous and dramatic reading at Grange , hall accompanied by Mrs. Wetzel, who is also distinguished as musician. The price of admission will be 25 cents. Prof. and Mrs. Wetzel have been en- gagged as judges for the literary and musical contest which comes off the following day, Saturday, May 10th, in which the entire grange of Windham county is interested, and for which prizes have been offered for the best essay,the best original poem the finest singer, and the best pianist and violin ist.

Thirty thousand soldiers are living
over again the victories and defeats
given on the bloody field of Gettysburg
fifty years ago this week. 1t is a moi
ster reunion of blue ard gray /,

1t is a generous thing For states north
and south to transport their defenders
to the field of greatest carnage in the
Civil war Of half a century gone. 1t

for vast majority of the brave men
who participate.
From Viroqua the only attendant is

A SEED PLAT
How to Select and Grow Your own
Seed.


(6y NJ. A. Carleton, U. s. cereaIIst.)
To start the seed plat, ask your state
agronomist or some reliable seed COM
pany what variety will do best in your
soil and climate. Barley will not run
out" If careful attention is given to Sc
iecting your seed every year. after
you have it started.
You should get number of your
neighbors to SOW the same variety
and keep 1t pure so that enough barley
will be raised In your vicinity to EN-
ploy a thresher on barley alone so that
1t win not become mixed with other
grain. This will pay you, as entire
carloads of the same good variety al
ways bring premium.
Select Seed Yourself.
You can improve your own barley
year by year. Go through the large
field just before harvesting. and Sc
lsct all OF the best individual plants
that can be quickly obtained, keeping
in mind good stooling. large heads and
vigorous, healthy plants without rust
or smut. Continue selecting until a
sufficient number of bundles of the
plants are obtained. which. when
threshed. will give seed enough for
sowing an acre of ground, or more
If the farmer wishes a larger plat
This selected grain can be threshed
simply by fail or by tramping or
beating inside of a bag. or IL the sead
selection should become regular Gus
tom, which it ought to be, there should
be on every farm, or in every neigh
bortood, small one or two horse
power thresher which can be run by
gasoline engine, the cost of which
for both thresher and engine should
NOT exceed $780,
Sowing the Seed Plat.
The seed from these bundles Is to
be used for sowing the seed plat,
which should be set apart separate
from any Of the fields and kept thor
oughly protected, even fenced If neces-
sary. A new location should be select
ed each season. Just before harvest
ing this seed plat, the very best plants
should be selected from the plat in
the manner before described, and the
seed OF these choice plants should be
used the following season for the
seed plat All the remainder of the
seed from the seed plat should then
be used for sowing the general crop
next season.

Jack had been in taking her at her

found that instead Of listening TO the

Was exactly venerable either II would
probably be some years before he was

Jack could not understand Dorothy's
sudden aggressive independence. He
did not see why any reasonable girl
should prefer TO wait on herself and
soil her dainty fingers when there was
a great. lazy fellow around who asked
nothing better Of fate than to be al.

his life. Time was. and not so very
long ago either when Dorothy had
shown a most delightful readiness to
accept bis services. OF late. however.
a change had come over the spirit Of
her dream. The dream now, and TO
Jack it seemed a nightmare. was of III

Just before Dorothy and her family
had left town for the summer, when
Jack had come to say "goodby" and

that was absurdly heavy at the pros

spirit of independence-the spirit Of
