ing the train, and communication was
established by shouting across the
river.

by the storm. and details OF the wreck
were unobtainable. The river is over
half mile wide at this point. and

swell the waters.

say from one to twelve An equal
number of ears of corn are selected
for the test and are numbered to
correspond with the squares on the
doth. The cloth ia then thorough
y mos;ened and spread out in
front Of the ears to be tested Five
or six kernels are taken from ear
number one and placed in square
number one, and so on until all the
squares have been filed. Then the
sides of the. cloth are folded over so
the edges will overlap in the center
and the strip rolled up, beginning
at either end. IL the cloth is well
moistened, the kernels will not be
displaced. After the cloth is rolled
up, string or rubber band is tied
loosely around each end, and the
rag baby is finished. II is not
necessary to limit the number of
squares to twelve. From twenty to
thirty ears can be tested in each
roll
After the roll is tied up it is then
placed in bucket of water, where
1t is allowed to remain from two to
eighteen hours, as the operator may
prefer. The water is then poured
off, the roll placed on couple of
small pieces of wood to keep it from
touching the floor. and a damp gun
nysack placed over it to keep it
from drying out The bucket is
then turned upside down over the
roll, one edge of the pail being rails
ed half an inch to give ventilation.
It is important that the corn
should be thoroughly moist, but
not so wet that seed will smother.
Care should also be taken that the
corn is not chilled. The best re-
suits will be obtained If it is kept

days the kernels should begin TO
