test box. A layer of sawdust was
placed upon cloth, and the kernels
scattered over it. Another cloth was
spread over the corn and then an inch
Of sawdust was placed on top.
After wetting thoroughly and hold
ing for five days in a warm room, I
found that only "a per cent of the
kernels had sprouted. So I knew it
was up to us to make a separate ear
test or else take long chances next
spring.
"One hundred sound ears were
placed in ten rows On shelf in num-
bered order. A neighbor made a rack
Of light boards and smooth wire in
which to place the ears for testing,
which was even better.
"The bottom cloth in the germina-
ton box was marked off into two and
one-half-inch squares and numbered.
Six kernels were removed from diff
ferent parts of each ear and placed in
the square of the termination box.
All was covered as before with an
OCICl CIOCu dl1u uu0L, udup-
ened and kept at temperature of 70
to 80 degrees for five days.
Il was then an easy matter to pick
out the weak ears, according to the
manner in which the kernels sprouted.
| found it necessary to take one pre-
caution-to be careful not to use the
same termination box repeatedly
without washing and scalding it, 9th
erwise the corn might get moldy and
spoil before any results are obtained
Il found a bulletin published and
sent out, upon application to residents
Of the state, by the agricultural ex-
pertinent station at Madison contained,
besides rules for testing, lot of USE
full information to anyone interested
in growing bumper corn crop"

CHURCH THAT is
SOLVING A PROBLEM

In these days when the rural church
here and there an example Of a pros
porous country parish which apparent
Iy is fulfilling its mission.
To know, for example, what things
an open country church at Ashton,
Wis, and it's pastor have done is to
wish for such an institution in ones
own neighborhOod.
The last time we visited this com
munity there were IS families in the
parish and IS young people between
the ages Of thirteen and twenty-five.
With a single exception these young
men and women, boys and girls, were
at home, and, SO far as we could see,
perfectly contented with their lots.
Evidently this community is solving
the big problems of rural life, namely,
that of keeping the young people on
the farm.
Every year large number Of the
farmers of this neighbOrhood attend
the midwinter course at the College of
of improving themselves and their
methods of farming. The desire for
education is strong and the people are
making much of their opportunities.
The number of farm papers taken in
the community is large, and there is
membership of Sc in the Wisconsin
Free Library association.
Other evidences of a progressive
community, and some of which prob
ably have no small share in account
ing for the fact that the young people
stay at home, are the number OF homes
with furnace heat, water works, gaso-
line engines to run washing machines,
separators, etc. A visitor in the neigh
borhood is pleased by the number and
artistic arrangement of the trees and
shrubs, and flowers in season, which
are unusually abunCant everywhere.
But you ask, What about the man
who more than anyone else is re-
sponsible for all this improvement and
interest? Well, he is man of ar
tistic temperament, a skillful musician
and botanist, with a love for
music and nature, and he has an in
tense interest, not only in religious mat
tiers, but also in agriculture and rural
life. Rather than live in town he has
his home out in the country among his
people, and he is always in close touch
with them. In this way he has been

"One of the most important things
for us to remember this winter, is to
test our seed corn early and thorough
ly. If we don't we likely will have to
stand worse losses than those of the
fall Of 1915"
Thus recently remarked farmer
friend, speaking to a group of neigh
bors who were gathered in front of
the post Office
Every thoughtful man there agreed
with him.
Low vitality of seed is likely to be
the bugbear of the coming season.
Planting one dead ear means you will
plant 800 dead kernels, and the loss
of 800 plants, and at least 800 ears.
1T will pay this year as never be-
fore to make termination tests of our
seed corn. We are going to test our
corn early, SO that if it shows a low
rate of vigor there will still be ample
time to place orders with reliable
seedsmen or with neighbors who may
have good seed for sale"
Another farmer who had already
given his 1915 corn crop the germi-
nation test and found many ears I'M
satisfactory, seconded the remarks of
his neighbor by adding:
Il examined several kernels from
each Of our seed ears by cutting them
in such way as to expose the tips
of the germs. All ears with discol-
ored or soft, shrunken germs. were
discarded. Only ears with bright,
WaXy germs, were used in the box
test. It's waste of time to bother with
ears which are plainly unsound.
Il tried testing several grains from
100 ears selected at random, after
throwing out all that apparently were
unsound. These kernels were mixed
together and terminated in a simple

WHO CAN AFFORD
TO RAISE "SCRUBS"?

Last week -- sold Is head of
grade Holsteins to -- of --. Sew
en- of these are yearlings, and the
average price paid for the Is was $54
a head These animals are not So
called fancy CATTLE but just grade
Holsteins that are the result Of the
use of a pure-bred Holstein Friesian
bull for several generations. They
have cost no more to raise and cost
no more to feed They are as hardy
as any scrub, and no doubt a great
deal more productive. The only extra
outlay there has been is the expense
of a pure-bred sire, but this no doubt
has long been paid for in the extra
production Of the COWS.
Contrast the above with the usual
price paid for scrub cattle at our
country auctions. Yearlings bring
from $40 to $25 each, while it is I'M
usual for a COW to go much over $50.
The herds sold at auction are often
the result of many years building
up While the - herd has been
established for comparatively a short
period Of years.
Mr. -, the buyer of these cattle,
admits that he bought these animals
cheap, and that other years he should
no doubt have been obliged to pay no
less than an average of $65 per head.
In view of the above, does it pay to
breed scrubs?
Most Of us cannot afford to buy
high-priced cattle, but none of us are
so rich that we can afford to breed
scrubs.-W. H. Bridgman.

REPORT GRAND v|z|ER :
DEAD Or FUGITIVE

LONDON, Sept. 26.--Diplomats here
are wondering what has happened to
Said Hahn Pasha, grand vizier of Tur-
key. Nobody can be found here or in
neutral countries who has heard any
thing about him for twelve months.
He was known to be a warm friend
ard admirer of France, but his pop
ularity in Turkey was so great that
Enver Pasha, who is practically dicta-
tor, dared not discharge him from Of
fee. Now not only has nothing been
heard about him for more than a year,
but his name has not even been men
toned in the papers since Bulgaria
joined Germany.
Even when the German parliament
tary deputation visited Constantinople
some months ago no mention was made
in the German press reports of the
Grand Vizier The deputation was re-
ceived on the behalf of the government
by the foreign minister and it was he
who presided and spoke at the chief
banquet
If Said Hahn Pasha had been ill,
physically or automatically, the fact
at one time or another would have been
mentioned in the German press. If he
had been dismissed that fact, too,
would have been recorded.
1t is reported from Greece that Enver
Pasha has had the Grand Vizier assas-
sinated because of his sympathies with
France, while another rumor says that
he has fed from Constantinople in dis
guise, taking with him important pa
pers, which are very compromising for
Enver.
