Grading Seed Corn and

After the seed corn is selected and

things should be done that will enable
the planter to do his work uniformly,
This is largely accomplished by BAY
ing kernels aus uniform in size and
shape as possible. ShelIing off or dis
carding the irregular kernels at the
butts and tips OF the ears, or running
the shelled corn through a grader, will
give uniformity of kernels that will

How Kerosene Lamps Explode and How to Make Them Safe

r VERY little while we hear Of the ex-
plosion Of a kerosene lamp, at
tended by serious injuries to per
sons who happen to be near, writes the
editor of The Travellers Standard. In the
public mind there is something mysterious
about these lamp xplosions-something
that calls for explanation. They are
usually attributed to the poor grade Of the
oil, or to some other cause unknown to the
owner or user of the lamp, or beyond his
or her control.
There is nothing actually explosive about
the oil itself, whatever its grade may be
Explosions are due to the ignition OF mix
lures of oil-vapor and air and they are
more likely to occur when using a low
grade oil than when using one of a higher
grade, because the low grade oil contains
a larger proportion OF light, volatile hydro
carbons, and 1t, therefore, gives off vapor
more freely. But whether the oil be high
grade or low grade, it's vapor will not ex-
piode unless 1t is mixed with air in a suit

This ex- pression of temperance sentiment among the country's advertising men is. said Mir. H. S. Houston, the new ly elected president of the associat- ed clubs, significant of the trend of thought.

A BIT OF HISTORY.


 The revenue system by which the United States became partner in the liquor business originated during the Civil war. In order to prosecute the war to free four million slaves, the congress of the United States passed a bill putting a high tax on liquor.
 When the bill had passed both houses, Salmon P. Chase, secretary of the treasury, brought it to President Lincoln for his signature Chase" /" said MT. Lincoln, q would rather have my right arm taken off than to sign that bill, but reckon I'll have to do it. You say 1t is necessary to carry on this war to free those human slaves. We have got to do it. But tell me, Chase, will you promise, and will congress promise, to repeal this bill as soon as the war is over?' Chase promised.
 But at the close of the war and before the promise could be redeemed, President Lincoln was assassinated and the promise forgotten. Doubtless had Lincoln lived the country would not today be under the domination of the legalized liquor traffic

TRAVELLERS WANT PROHIBITION.

Years ago the travelling man got many orders by taking his customers out and buying them drinks. In fact the system was highly approved and commonly employed. But now comes the Iowa Union of Commercial Tray elers, in convention assembled, and calls for national prohibition. The very men who used to be regarded as the friends of liquor are now its ene- mics. Why? Because they know the saloon business cripples trade, and when trade is crippled travelling men cant sell goods. Any travelling man will tell you now that business is bet ter in dry towns and collections come easier.-Sioux City News.
