A one inch steel bar was sawed
through, but the slot had been filed

until it was hard to detect. Another
bar was sawed half off and third
sawed enough to be bent. The oil
mad been used to lessen the friction

London, March 13.-With Fort de

Ashland - The Quincy Lumber

SEED CORN is SHORT
GOVERNOR FIXES MARCH 27 TO
APRIL AS TEST WEEK.
Urges tanners to Conduct Thorough
Trial to Obtain Supply for
Spring Planting.

Madison. on.-Owing to shortage of
seed corn in Wisconsin this year,
caused by unfavorable growing con-
ditions last season, Gov. Philip has
issued proclamation designating the
week from March 81 to April /, as
seed corn week, and urging that dur
ing such period every corn grower
thoroughly test each ear of his. seed
corn and keep for planting only those
ears showing high termination.
The failure of one ear of seed corn,
containing 500 kernels, means a loss
of 500 ears in crop or eight bushels.
worth about s4
Gov. Philips proclamation fol-
lows:
Whereas, the department of agri-
culture has called my attention to
serious shortage of good seed corn
in Wisconsin, due to unfayorable rip
ening season last fall, | therefore
deem it necessary to acquaint the
public with the following facts:
Many terminating tests have
shown that little of seed corn has suf-
ficint vitality to make it safe for
planting without securing germinat-
ing test for each ear. However,
much of seed saved, though low in
terminating, contains many ears of
high vitality. These can be found
and saved by simple test of each
ear.
Many of Wisconsin's improved,
home grown and acclimated strains
of corn that otherwise might be de
stroyed and lost to sale, can in this
way be saved and profitably used.
Greatly decreased stands and yields,
with much waste of time, money and
effort win surely follow if seed on
hand is planted withoat proper test
ing.
THE situation is so serious and
the need for immediate action SO inn
petative that ] Asen It adYisabie to
publicly call attention to these con
ditions To this end | hereby pro-
claim the week from March II to
April / as seed corn week.
Il urge that during this period ev
cry farmer thoroughly test each ear
I of his seed corn and eliminate all
ears not showing high termination.

PORTUGAL IN CONFLICT
GERMANY HANDS PASSPORTS TIC
couNTRY'S MINISTER.
Berlin Declaration Enumerates Long
Series of Breaches of Neutrality
by Lisbon Government.

Berlin, March IL. - Germany de-
-clased war on Portugal at 1880 o'clock
Wednesday afternoon and handed his
I ports to the Portuguese minister.
This action was foreshadowed
when semiofTicial report declared
that an ultimatum had been sent to
Portugal demanding the immediate re-
lease of the German ships The hand
ing of his passports to the Portuguese
ambassador in Berlin was given as
the action that would follow a refusal
to comply with the imperial demands.
The declaration enumerates a long
series of breaches of neutrality by
the Portuguese government such as
the permission of free passage to
English troops through the colony
Of Mozambique. the permission given
English men-of-war to use Portuguese
ports for time exceeding that given
neutrals. and the permission given the
English navy to use Madeira as a
naval base.
Actual engagements between Por-
tuguese and German troops on the
frontier of German Southwest Africa
and Angola and frequent insults to
the German nation by members of
the Portuguese parliament. who were
never reprimanded, are also cited.
The declaration states that, accord
ing to the treaty between the two
nations, the seizure should have been
nreceded nv an agreement regarding
the price to be paid the owners and
that the seizure was only justifiable
in case of public necessity in Portu-
gal. whereas the tonnage of the ships
was evidently larger than that needed
at Portugal's disposal. 1t is further
stated that the Portuguese govern
ment did not even try to enter into
communication with the German own
ers or the German government.

Monroe.-The little love god, Cupid,
IS causing great havoc in the ranks of
the rural teaching force in Green

Superintendent John N Burns.
Already more than 10 per cent of

If rumors are TO be relied on fifty
fifty new teachers will be needed in

will mean that practically one-third Of
the teachers in the rural schools will
be married during the present school
year, there being 1876 country schools
in the county.
The desertion from the ranks of the
teachers has not been stopped in the
least by the fact that contracts are
now made between the school boards
and the teachers for one year. No
school board in the county has been
found so hard hearted that it would
refuse to permit the teachers to break
