If the seed has been carefully select

If it has been thoroughly dried and has
stood low temperatures without injury
it is likely that the terminating power
is what it should be, but the only sure
way to tell before planting it is to test
it out. Tests should be made several
weeks before the corn is to be put in
the soil; otherwise there will be little
time to secure and test new seed.
In all cases every ear should be en-
tered for the test. A very good way is
to use box about eighteen inches
square and about three inches deep.

the sawdust down smoothly and mois-

have it damp enough to give the water

grains.
Take the ears of corn to be tested,
lay them on floor or table in double
rows, placing the ears tip to tip. Num-

Der the squares consecutively.
Take from each ear at various places
between the tip and the butt five
grains. In the squares place five grains
from each ear, seeing that the grains
from an ear having a certain number
are placed in the square having that
number.
Cover the grains over with anothel

TESTING SEED CORN.

Crop Depends Upon soundnsss and
Quality Of the Seed.
March is good month in which to
make the termination test for seed
corn, says contributor to the Farm
Progress. A vitality or termination
test should always be made, no matter
how good the seed corn looks or where
it has been stored.
Even though you picked it very care
fully last fall under what looked like
ideal conditions, it is not safe to put 1t
into the ground without having given
it the regular test. No matter how it
was picked or where it was stored, you
cannot be sure. Water, weather, tenn
perature and other factors you may
have overlooked or been unable to con-
troll may have made your picked seed
corn just about worthless for planting
purposes.
There is just one way to make sure
of what you are doing, and that is to
put it through the most rigid tests that

mistakable pain for indigestion
Is progressive ailment. At first
the symptoms may be relieved by
pepsin, bismuth or soda but these
things do not overcome the ex-

is usually the underlying cause
of the trouble, and consequently
the acid accumulates and the oc-
casional attack of indigestion be-
comes chronic dyspepsia The
dyspeptic is always particularly
liable to gastritis and gastric ul-
GERS In the stomach are only too
often the forerunners of periton-
tits, stomach cancers and death.
For this reason physicians
place much importance upon
keeping the stomach free from
harmful acid and are continu-
ously advising chronic dyspeptics
as well as those who only suffer
occasional attacks OF indigestion
to keep little pure bisurated
magnesia handy, and to take
teaspoonful in little water after
every meal. Practically any
druggist can supply you with
bisurated magnesia and all stom-
ach sufferers arc advised to get
an ounce or so and give It trial.
Care should be taken to tell the
druggist to give you magnesia
in the bisurated form as other

worth of the civil service board
at the city hall, members OF the
city council today took steps to
replace him with younger man.
Several attempts have been
made during the past two years
to Gust Ellsworth, but this is
the first time that the council
has unanimously agreed that
they did not want him longer in
the office. The civil service
commission will be asked to dis
pense with the secretary's ser
vices.
Criticism arose today when
Ellsworth submitted a bill to
the council for hire OF an expert
stenographer during a recent ex-
