Not Enough for Him.

Everyone who has visited ST. Paul
and Minneapolis knows there is de-
cided feeling of rivalry between these
two large, growing cities. A speaker
addressing an audience at st. Paul,
spoke of the reckless driving of mo-
tor cars that at that time was preva-
lent in Minneapolis and expressed the
hope that st. Paul would not follow
the example of her rival city. Why"
said the speaker. 81 have heard that
some four or five inhabitants are killed
in Minneapolis by automobiles every
week" And to his amazement from
the audience came a voice: "Wa'al, it

1t has been found that the quality Of
high egg production Ii what is known
as a sex limited character, and that
the male bird is capable Of reproducing
the high laying quality very much
more than the female.
Heretofore little attention has been
paid to the male, outside of selecting
one from a high producing dam. Now
the approved method of breeding for
egg production is to get a male from
some known high producing strain.
and mate him to the flock.
In order to breed for high produc.
tiveness, 1t Is necessary to test out the
ability of the male to get high laying
pullets. This can be done by keeping
the pullets from several matings in
separate pens and getting record OF
their eggs

DIFFERENT VARIETIES OF SEED
POTATOES SHOULD NOT BE
MIXED BEFORE PLANTING.

Potato growers often find their stock
mixed and are at loss to account for
it. Some who have not become well
informed seem to think that the wind
or bees may effect the blossoms and
that is the way the mixture happened.
1t is only when potatoes are grown
from the actual seed which is found
in the ball-shaped pods where the bios
SONS have been, that the bees or wind
can cause any mixing. There are sew
eral ways in which mixing may oc-
cur. One is by the accidental dumping
of a sack Of one variety into pile
of another. Another way which be.
lieve often happens, where one is
growing the Mccormick variety is,
that there are some tubers left over in
the soil from previous digging which
perpetuate themselves and thus get
mixing which is probably the least
common, although by no means rare,
is bud variation. Bud variation is con.
stantly happening in plants and the
most common form in potatoes is the
color Of the skin. The White Nc
Cormick is a bud variation of the older
pink-eyed variety. Now, there has ap-
peared in the White variety "sprout"
or bud variation with splashes of
pink on the skin.
II potatoes do get mixed it is often
less trouble to separate them after they
commence to sprout. Sprouts that have
started in the dark in some varieties
are pure white. others are yellowish
white. others have some purple in
them. A very common mixture is
Irish Cobbler and Green Mountain. The
sprouts of Green Mountain, when
grown in the dark, are a clear green
ish yellow. while those Of Irish Cob
bier are white, with purplish streaks
and patches at the base.

Learning Through SUFFERING.

The world is filed with men who are
trying to reform some one else, with
those who have some panacea or an
tidote for all ills and who think that
by legislation or other outward press
ure men and women may be made
ideal. There is nothing to such no.
tions. Life is a struggle, and gen.
orally hard one. Good character is
built upon overcoming oneself, and
unless reforms begin from the inside
they do not last long. Boys are pun
ished not to give them pain, but to
give certain definite reactions between
the physical and moral parts of their
composition. The rod has been abused,
but it is now more neglected than
overworked. 1t is through sad expert.

To Test Suspected Coin.

There is a very simple means Of
testing suspected coin, which can be
applied in any circumstances. Take a
good coin and vigorously rub its
milled edge against that of the sus-
pect. If the coin on trial is a wrong
'un" it will peel of, or at least show
signs of taking. If the edge bears
the test the coin may safely be accept
ed. This advice was given by an off,
Ger of the criminal investigation de-
partment of England, who declared it
to be certain test.

POSSIBILITY OF

tanned today in a minority report Of
the senate judiciary committee urg
ing adoption OF Senator Shafroth's res
olution for constitutional amend,
mnt to fix the second Monday in Jan
uary following a national election for
the date of Inauguration and the first
Monday in January for congress to
assemble.
Signed by Senators Shields, Ash
urst, Nelson, Cummins, Chiffon, and
Fletcher 1t points out that under the
existing conditions, it becomes pos
sible for a political party repudiated
by the people to elect a president
who was defeated at the election, in
! case any candidate fails to get a ma
jority of the electoral votes.
Under the present provisions OF
the Constitution the report says, In
the event the house fails to choose
q president before March 4, the vice
president then becomes president for
four years. This affords great
temptation, by mere delay to defeat
the will of the people and If 1t eX
ercised It will likely produce rev
| olution.

While enthusiastic suffragists pre-

vantage of the new Illinois law giving
women the right to ballot for all
statutory offices.
Anticipating an unusually large
feminine interest the election oflc-
ials appointed many women judges
and clerks. These experienced but
little difficulty in their unaccustom.
ed places.
Perfect weather favored the suffra.

women to register early. As soon
as the polls were open there was a
rush OF the new citizens to quality
II was expected that difficulty
would result over the provision which
