tered the plea that under a ruling
of the State Supreme Court that the

his will by himself necessarily meant
that It had been signed by him, else
il could not be his will, and con-
tended that the will had been signed

FOR THE CHILDREN
The Knowing Squirrel.

Miss Mary Owens of st. Joseph. Mo,
has fed and pettcd the squirrels thai
live in the trees in her yard until the!
are quite tame. One of them will eat
from her hand and come when she
calls. She feeds the squirrels nuts
cracked and placed in Il small box and
the box in Il tree.
She noticed that the blucjays were
eating the nuts before the Sq,Arel%
could yet them. She had no objections
to feeding these birds, bnt she placed
food for them in another place and did
not want the squirrels t" he defrandrd
of theirs. So she tried this novel plan
with success:
She brought the box of nuts, as usual.
and. taking the tame squirrel on her
lap. showed him the nuts inside the
box. then closed the lid. She did this
twice, the squirrel watching keen and
alert. Then she opened the box, fed
him one nut and closed it again. She
did this three times. The mex day she
took the tame squirrel again and
showed him the closed box with nuts
questioningly. half appealingly: then
with nose and slender paws lie opened
the box and seized q nut. Miss Owens
closed the lid. and this time the SPUR
rel opened it without hesitation.
The next day the closed box was
placed in the tree, the lid arranged 80
that it could easily be opened, but
would fall shut again. The tamest
squirrel came first and opened it: the
others looked on; then, one after am
other. they followed his example. So
now they are fed and their food pro
tected from those for whom it is not
intended.-Our Dumb Animals.

The accompanying illustration shows
q field Of corr where the men are
using a good method Of selecting corn
for seed. They are searching for
plants that have produced heavily un
der average conditions and in close
competition with less productive plants

picture also shows adequate seed pick
ing bags.
At corn ripening time the farmer who
wishes to select his own seed corn
will find it profitable to drop all other
business and devote himself to the Sc
lection of an abundant supply. The
process is too important to be conduct
ed while husking. Increased yields
from good selection will return the
farmer more profit than almost any
other work he can do.
The process of gathering ones own
seed corn satisfactorily demands two
things:
First.-Get the best that is to be had.
Second.-Preserve your selected seed

the large ears on stalks standing singly

In all localities the tendency of the

This tendency is passed on from one
generation of corn to the next.

An Optical Illusion,

The following is a curious and inter-
esting experiment: Take Il piece of
cardboard about five inches square,
roll it into q tube with IL end just
large enough to fit around the eye. and
the other Il trifle smaller. Hold the
tube between the thumb and finger Of
the right hand-do not grasp it with
the whole hand-pnt the large end
close against the right eye and with
the left hand hold Il book against the
side of the tube. Keep both eyes open
and there will appear to be a hole
through the book and objects seen as
through the hole instead of through
the tube.
The right eye sees through the tube
and the left eye sees the book, and the
two appearances are SO COMPOUNDED
that it is impossible to separate them.
