SELECTING sEED CORN.

Early Selection From the Hill Has Inn
portant Advantages.
Hill selection Of seed is urged by
every institution interested In the i'm
provement Of corn. By selecting corn
from the standing stalks In the field
N can consider other things besides
the ear itself. The height Of the ear
on the stalk and the strength Of the
stalk may both be considered. and
whether Or not the ear grew on a stalk
that had the whole hill to itself or had
to compete with two or three other
stalks "a be determined, while If; one
waits until the corn has been cut these
factors cannot be considered.
While the large, heavy ears are de-
sirable, one cannot %proitably select
them at the expense of maturity. be-
cause corn that will not mature is
bound to be an improbable crop.
Early selection from the hill avoids
the danger of the corn being injured
by frost while it is still damp in the
husk. It also allows for ample time
for the corn to become thoroughly
dried out before freezing weather.

ing a strong germination.-A. D. Will

toward the single long taproot. In
most cases there are very few. lateral
or spreading roots. In some others,
however, the taproot is not so promi-
Hent, as it has. many branching or
spreading roots.
The type of alfalfa should be adapted
to the soil from the standpoint Of root
structure. The deep, well drained loan
or gravel makes an ideal soil for the
long taproot variety, which will not
grow In soils having a compact subsoil.
The agricultural department of the
Lehigh Valley railroad hopes to see
alfalfa growing on every farm in
northern Pennsylvania and New York;
Much Of the land along this road is
Of limestone formation, and Is usually
well drained. On this there was little
trouble. The greatest difficulty came
from the yolusia silt soils OF southern
New York and northern Pennsylvania.
Here, under approved methods, alfalfa
could be well started, only tobe heaved
entirely out Of the ground by the alter
nateyfreezing and thawing Of the first
spring. 3,
In practically every large field that
4heayed, however, as well as In many
fields in the limestone belt that had
gradually run out, there always re-
manned Individual plants In spots
about the field. Examination Of these
Individual plants showed that they did
not rest in any particularly favorable
location, but that they had remained
in the soil because the seed had been
mixed.
It was found that the more branch
ing the roots Of the plants the larger
were the branches above the crown.
Alfalfa experts OF the western states
were called upon, and samples Of many
branching root varieties were secured.
Among these the Grimm alfalfa gave
the greatest promise Of success on the
hardpan soils. further advantage
was that it had been propagated sufa-
cientIy long to give an ample supplySof
seed. It is hoped that d desirable
strain may also be developed from the
Baltic variety.

Ans.-E. 8. Keene, dean departments
Of engineering and physics.
This is a very difficult question to
answer in so limited space, because Of
the variety of conditions that surround
the problem. It will depend in the
first place On the amount one is able
to pay for the plant and the degree Of
convenience and comfort demanded.
Again it will depend on the size Of
the plant and the purpose for which
the house is intended. In the average

stoves and furnace heat for the entire

are to be heated, stoves are the mora
desirable. If the house is to be heated
by a furnace and the question is. what
type Of plant is to be employed, the
problem Is largely n Of cost. In eff.

do this by building a stock chute.
Usually these chutes are built as. per-

@ Q.-How does oat meal compare
with meat in food value? y.
Ans.-Roe Il. Remington, profes.
o Of food chemistry.
Food value may be considered from
several different points Of view
~ If we consider the total energy
produced by the food. we find that q
pound Of oat meal will produce three
and one-half times as much energy
as a pound Of lean steak, or nearly
twice as much as q pound Of moder.
ately fat steak. II we consider oat
meal as costing six cents a pound and
beefsteak as costing twenty cents a
pound, then a dollar will buy more
than eleven times as much energy
giving material in the form of oat
meal as in the form of beefsteak.
(2) If we consider the muscle
building material, or protein, we find
that oat meal contains 1871 per cent.
and lean beefsteak 1913 per cent. In
other words lean beef contains about
one and a half times as much muscle
building material as oatmeal. Moder-
ately fat beef will contain from 16 to
IS per cent, or about the same as oat.
meal. Dollar for dollar, your money
will buy about three times as much
muscle-building material in the form
of oatmeal as it will in the form of
Hbeefsteak. It must be said, however,
that the protein Of oatmeal is not
quite so easily nor so completely d.
gested as that of beef.

COLON. Jan. S.-Because. according to
a letter he left. the United States prac-

Pierre Venumiere, once rated as a
wealthy Isthmian resident, blew his head

Venumiere came here from Martinique.

Recently he made his home in Pedro

earnings he invested in land. This land
now has been converted into Government
property In accordance with the mill
tarization Of the Canal Zone.
The sum received for the results of his
nine years toll In a tropical climate Is
believed to have been SO small that his
mind became unbalanced. His farewell
letter says:

result Of the wholesale assertions among
paid
The heaviest blow received by Huertas
War Department came to-day. when
Capt. Monies went over to the rebels at
Lampasas, taking with him several ma
chine guns and a large quantity of am
muniton.
Heavy fighting has been going on for
two days between zacatecas and Calero
Rebels have again appeared between
San Luis Potosi and Tamplco. They have
torn UP the railroad tracks and no trains
are running between the two cities.
The Federals at Zacatecas have been
unable to pay the troops owing to the
fact that the merchants have refused to
give silver change for bank notes.
The Federal commander, fearing that
his men would desert and go over to the
enemy, assembled the local merchants and
warned them that the notes would have TO
be accepted or the garrison would be with
drawn. This warning was promptly
needed and the notes are being accepted
everywhere in the city.
Government officials expressed their
satisfaction tonight over the report that
the authorities at Del Rio, Tex, had con-
nscated great quantity Of arms, am
munition and horses intended for the
rebels
II has also been reported here that Del
Rio has been closed to all persons and
traffic from Las Vacas, across the Rio

ment In the British military canteens
scandal, in connection with which five
officers were arrested recently, came to-
day when the police magistrate at the Bow

eight army officers and eight civilians.
The summonses were granted at the re-

charges OF conspiring to commit offences
punished by the corrupt practices act.
The precise nature of the charges
brought against these men Is not known
but II Is understood that they are sus-
pected Of speculation in connection with
army stores. They will be represented by

Rumors to the effect that the matter
was being hushed up were heard when
the five officers arrested recently for ar
raignment before a court-martial were re-
leased suddenly before the full character
OF the scandal has been divulged. 1t trans
pires now. however. that II was decided to
change the procedure and spread the net
in order TO involve all those who were
under suspicion. Application for the sum-

been possible yet to obtain the names OF
the men accused. II Is understood. how
ever. that two of the officers formerly ar
rested are no longer included in the pro-

LONDON. Jan. s--No confirmation has

Prince William Of WED had decided not

The report is discredited in "A despatch

ton is probably keenest. but II is never
theless certain that the Princes refusal
would not greatly surprise Europe. in
view Of the fact that much scepticism
is being felt as to the ability OF the Pow

According to the latest reports there
appears to be much local opposition to
Prince william OF Wied because he is
not a Mussulman. The Young Turks are
credited with the determination to install
their own nominee. This has not been
confirmed, but the Young Turks are be-
licved to be utterly opposed 10 the present
