DOUBT OLD ADAGE
Do Eariy Risers Become Healthy
Wealthy and Wise?
Comparison Between the Agricultural
Laborer and the Man Engaged in
Legislation by Writer in Lon
don Publication.

London 1t almost seems as II there
ought to be a society to protect us
from the eject OF the old adages.
Most Of us, for instance, have been
taught that:
Early 10 bed and early to rise.
Makes II man healthy. wealthy and wise
hut is this really true nowadays?
In times gone by. when artificial light
had not been inyented-or was too
costly for general use-it is easy to
understand that those people who got
up at sunrise made the best bargain.
because they got their lighting prac-
tlcally free Of charge
BESIDES. this adage, like many 9th
ers Of its kind. was born amid agri-
cultural communities, where economy
Of daylight is and must always be one
of the secrets Of making money.
Nowadays, however, Arnold Colds
worthy writes in London Answers,
most people live and work in towns,
and their work is often lonesome
times necessarily done-by artificial
light. It does not make any differ
eRcc to your wages whether your work
is done by daylight or by the glare
OF q jet OF gas Therefore, unless you
are engaged in the agricultural bust
ness, early rising will certainly not
make you any wealthier.
VIII 1t make you any healthier? II
is doubtful Most people have an idea
that they ought to get up early In the
morning Nevertheless, they very
rarely do it,
1t may be that 1t is more natural to
rise with the lark. but We have been
living on an artificial system for SO
many generations now that our cOnsti-
tutious are getting used to the change.
Who are the people who get up early
ia the morning nowadays? DO they
represent the wealthy and wise" Of
the population? Hardly.
The early riscrs are usually the
hands" who have TO be at their Job
early in the morning. Wealthy peo-
pie do not as a rule commence bust
ness before ten O'Clock in the morn
Ing, and If they had to he up early
in order to be- wealthy, half the big
offices in the city would be poverty
stricken tomorrow.
Then. does early rising really make
people wise? Probably the earliest
riacrs in the country are the agricul.
iural laborors, but we do not usually
hold tbis est rohlo Clnse NJ mon I'm
NJ samples Of our national wisdom.
On the other hand, some OF the keen
est iutcllccts OF our times are to be
found among our Legislators, who be
gin business about noon, ard are
rarely able to get to bed TIL the
small hours OF the morning
OF course. If you have to get Up
early IN the morning because your
business Compcis you do so, it Is no
use arguing about tho matter. But
n you have the option Of that extra
hours rest YOU need not get the idea
into your head that It is n crime to
yield to the very pleasant instinct for
little more sleep.
After all, nature Is not bad guide

4Let He Who Is Without Guilt"

In the city Of Cumberland, Nd,
there is a case which should appeal
to everyone.
1t is the accepted belief that there
is more good in the world than evil.
This is undoubtedly true. There
would still be a greater percentage
Of good it men and women would
extend their hands to the weak and
fallen and help them TO their feet
once more.
The fallen sister is summed on the
street. She is helped m a cold
hearted way. There is wormwood
in the milk Of human kindness. The
unfortunate woman is made to feel
that she is beyond the pale, and is
helped only because the demand Of
humanity is that She should be
/ helped.
So it is with the fallen brother,
although his opportunities on &C.
+ count Of the predominance Of sea
gives him a better chance. Then

sufficient evidence Of the uSeleSSness
Of testing each ear Of the entire sup

to test each ear of the entire supply
in order to be aple to discard those

NUBBlNG.
Discard the small, partially devel-
oped kernels from the tip of The ears.
Whyl Because such kernels DO not
yield well. Careful field experiments
have demonstrated that they grow
into small, barren, and poor pro-
ducing stalks.
Discard the round, thick kernels
from the butts of the ears. Whyi
Because the corn planter can not

Kernels that have been injured by
mice or weevils, or that are ether

discarded before the ears are Shelled.
CLASSIFYING THE EARS.
As it is highly advisable that the

it can not do unless the kernels are
Of uniform size and shape, il is adj
visable to classify the ears before
sheling them. Those having large
kernels should be included in one
class and those having medum.size
kernels in another class. Each class
should be shelled and bagged sepa-
rately. TO these bags, the planter

ShelIed seed corn can be cleane,

HOW TO SHELL SEED CORN.
Seed corn should shelled by hand
Careful hand shelling pays the mai
who plants but a few acres, and
pays to a greater degree the mai
who plants hundreds Of acres. EacI
ear should be shelled separately int
a hand sieve. This permits the chat
from the cob to fall through and tn
Kernels from each ear to be inspecte

supply. The value Of this close If
spection is lost if the ears are ru

to him, told what they knew and

not recognize the fact that he had

general in Mississippi, but when
you go about the towns and cities
and see the thousands Of idle boys
