the opportunity of discarding ears

I'm the selection of seed, maturity
IS an important consideration. The
ear should have been matured at the
end of the growing season and yet
not have been matured ahead of time
for in that case it will not have made
full use of the available food and
water supply. Immature corn should
not be selected in any case for if ii

Since the trees began to 1.-Two again. before the sunshine came, he fancied that they were the cause of the lengthening of the day and the grow ing warmth. So men, some men. at least. used to think, for they worshiped trees as the great lords of life. Traces of that worship are to be found today. There are men who would not cut down certain kinds of trees for any reward that might be offered them. because they believe that very bad Tuck" would happen to them if they did.
 You think I am a long time m ccr4ing "a the mistletoe. Have pauenoe TOT naIH s minute Savages believe that every living thing has soul. Inside man there is a little man; inside a beast is a little beast, the soul of each. When a man dies, they think that the little man has gone out of the man. And savages used to think that inside every tree was a little tree, it's soul. Now imagine a savage out in the forest in the winter The trees are leaf less. all is bare and dreary. But he sees a green something in the distance. He has tens forward to know what it is. And it is a little, living tree on dead one. What wonder is this2 A tree high up above the ground, not touching the soil at all. It is the only living thing in all the dead wilderness. What can 1t be but the soul of a tree-perhaps the soul of the lord of all the trees of the forest? He trembles with ave- and kneels down be- fore it, praying it not to su1ite him with death for coming into it's secret and sacred place. Then he goes to the men of his tribe and tells them that he has seen a tree-soul alive and beautiful in the loneliness of the forest depths. And after talking 1t over, they think 1t will please the tree-spirit if they bring it care fully to their camp.
 Somewhat so began the custom of hang ing up the mistletoe in our homes in the depth of winter. and customs last longer than anything else in the world. And 1t is by finding out what they mean that We learn how our far-off forefathers used to think and pray. It is well to keep up the old custom, for 1t may remind us that our forefathers, when they were savage and ignorant, tried to find God. It may re- mind us of how Jesus told better things of God than our poor forefathers ever dreamed. After your mirth and laughter under the mistletoe bough, you may do little thinking about the old meaning of It.

he Springfield Rep1lblican.

Erm the Sprlng1eld RepupLcan.
 Have you ever asked how it is that we hang up mistletoe in our house at Christ mas? Because the Druids used to do so, you may tell me. but then we come to the question why they did. Perhaps you may tell me again that their reason was that they believed the bright god Baldur, had been killed by a dart of mistletoe. do not think that was the real reason. think that story-and a very pretty story it is-was made up to explain the custom when the true reason had been forgotten
 I believe that the custom of hanging up a hongh of mistletoe is one of the very oldest customs in the world, and has come down to us from the time when men wor- shiped trees. It seems to you very strange thing that men should do that but if you will think a little you may see that it was not very strange after all. Imagine a savage man (andSsavage means a man who lives in a forest, who has little knowledge of anything outside the forest in which he lives. He does not even see much of the sun, scarcely any thing of the stars. He knows nothing of the cause of the change of seasons. The winter is a bad time for him, for then there are no fruits to gather, no nests with eggs that man can find to eat few roots to be dug up, and the ground is hard, and the light is short, and the darkness long, and the cold is terrible. How is it that the bad time comes? The first sign almost that he sees of it Is when the leaves begin to fade and fall. Then the day shortens, and there Is less and less warmth in the sunshine. When the trees are leafless and seemingly dead, then come frost and snow. The savage reasons from the facts which he sees, and he notes that when the trees begin to die, then the day shortens and the wind
 blows cold and keen. That seems silly to
 you, quite the wrong way of putting things, but the savage thought that all
 was well when the trees were alive, and that their dying brought him misery.
 Knowing no more than he did, it was even sensible. And it seemed to him to be proved every spring that the trees caused his comfort and the gladness of the world. The first sign and promise of
 better days was when the trees came into

 Applications for patents must be in writing. in the English language, and signed by the inventor. if alive. The application must include the first fee of $15, petition, specification and oath, and drawing, model or specimen when required. The petition must be addressed to the commissioner of pat ents, and must give the name and full address of the applicant; must desig- nate by title the invention sought to be patented; must contain a reference to the specimen for full disclosure of such invention, and must be signed by the applicant.
 The specification must contain the following in the order named: Name and residence of the applicant, with title of invention; a general statement of the object and nature of the inven- tion; a brief description of the seevral views of the drawings eff the inven- ton admits of such illustration); de- tailed description; claim or claims; sig nature of inventor. and signature of two witnesses. Claims for a machine and its product and claims for ma chine and the process in the perform ance of which the machine is used must be presented in separate appli- cations, but claims for a process and it's product may be presented in the same application.
 The applicant, if the inventor, must make oath or affirmation that he be- lieves himself to be the first inventor or discOverer of that which he seeks to have patented. The oath or affirma- tion must also state of what country he is citizen and where he resides. Drawings must be on white paper with India ink, and the sheets must be exactly 10 by 15 inches in size. with margin of one inch.
 The duration of patents is for IT years. except in the case of design patents, which may be for three and a half, seven or IA years. as the inven- tor may select.

Golden Seabright Bantams are essen- tially an ornamental breed, and have no utility qualities to recommend them, as both eggs and carca sses are too small for commercial purposes. Sir John Seabright, an Englshman, spent a lifetime originat- ing and perfecting the breed. Later, in 1920, club was formed for their advance ment and from that time began the radi- cal changes which resulted in the adop- tion of positive breed shape and color of legs and plumage.
 The mature small Seabrights should not exceed 26 ounces in weight and females p ounces. They have small, firm rose combs, short blue legs, dropping wings, well-spread fan tail and an alert, upright carriage. The male must be "hen feath- ered,' that is, the tail is devoid of curv-

an undertaking must first have some ex- perience in the care and management of birds, secured from actual contact with them. He must furthermore have the right mental attitude in regard to his work. He must expect that the work will sometimes require especially late hours and at all times need constant applica- tion. He must not think for a minute that a one-man poultry flock is a lazy mans job; it is not; but for the man look ing for interesting, continuous, healthy outdoor work, there is none better. Fur thermore, the work about the birds must be congenial to him, he must have nat ura, love for them and desire to under stand them through close personal contact and observation. It is only by doing this that they can be correctly fed and man. aged in such a way as to make profia- ble production.
 SUFFICIENT CAPITAL NEEDED
 Capital IS also necessary to insure the success of sucsh a venture as described. The family mentioned began poultry work with $5O0O in cash of which 5000 was left in the bank for working capital. The start was made with but 300 birds, which was increased to 5000 the second year. 800 the third year, and 1000 the fourth year, at which point it has since been main ta1ned. It is a mistake to start with lim- ited experience and small capital, the be- ginning will be an uphill fight at best. It is much better to get some experience at the other fellows expense and at the same time be saving sufficient capital to finance ones own farm at some future date.
 The success of an effort of this kind will be determined in large part by the quality of stock which is secured for the founda- ton. Vigor and a natural inherited ten dency to lay eggs are essential. Be sure to get good stock from reliable breeder or pou.tryman who is succeeding at the same game which you intend to follow. For the commercial egg trade in the east 1t Is doubtful if any breed offers greater possibilities than the Leghorn. They can usually be relied upon for good yield of large white eggs, which means a full pocketbook for their owner.

ing sickle feathers which denote the male in other fowls, and the feathers of the neck hackle and saddle are not pointed as in other cocks, but rounded exactly like the hens. This hen feathering is the distinguishing feature of the Seabright Bantam. The plumage is described as gol- den bay, each feature distinctly outlined with a narrow edge of glossy black.
 Seabrights are adaptable to very small quarters; and in fact do much better under such conditions than when given considerable range. Their eggs hatch well, and the chicks mature rapidly. In this and other varieties of bantams there are many instances recorded of bullets coming to maturity and rearing a brood of their own in the fall of the same year in which they were matched.
