Ouser Use For Cordits.

Some years ago Lord Haldane star
tied the house Of commons when re-
plying to a remark made by another
member as to the danger attached to
the use Of cordite by saying that he
himsek possessed a walking stick
made Of cordite which he sometimes
brought down to the house and left IN
the cloakroom. An uneasy look stole
over the faces Of the members present,
but in scientific and highly technical
speech his lordship explained that
cordite was a perfectly innocent sub
stance until brought into contact. with
dangerous allies. and without certain
ingredients necessary to convert 1t into
an explosive 1t might be handled with
impunity. At the same time 1t was
noticed that Lord Haldane's stick was
given a wide berth when It was seen IN
the cloakroom.

Seed Corn.

remember we'll my fathers kitchen
of Is years ago. 1t was about 20 feet
SQUARE, with q brick fireplace with
cranes and pot hooks, a large tin baker
and tbree-legged spider to set over the
Goals. In the ceiling were driven hooks,
from which poles were suspended on
which to dry apples and pumpkins, anG
on the walls of the room we're hung
traces of seed corn for next years plant
ing. That way of drying apples and
pum pkins has been discontinued, but
this method of saving seed corn consid-
or the perfection of wisdom.
The chit or germ of kernel of corn Is
i'm bedded in soft wet cob, and unless
this cob is dried out in reasonable
time, its vitality is impaired or destroy
ed.
In experiments / made years ago,
found that the seed kernels taken from
near the top of the ear produced not
only earlier but better developed stalks
and ears than the seed kernels taken
from close to the butt or lower end OF
the ear. The difference, believe, was
owing to the smsllness of the cOb
and the better curing of the seed from
top of ear.
Pick corn before main crop is harvest.
ed get the best, discarding all ears with
large cob at the butt; husk Immediately,
and braid into traces of dozen ears, and
hang on a rack in the kitchen or an attic
with warm chimney and good circu
latiop of air Is ap ideal place.
In three or four weeks, remove to
dry place and you will have seed CORE
that will not need to be tested to prove
its vitality.-COr. Maine Farmer.

Tho early history Of the Hawaiian
Islands Is entirely legendary and trs.

A Boost For Barley.


Barley Is strangely neglected by the

less gluten than wheat, 1t might well

bles and this with benefit to purse and

times its original size when cooked.
and its uses are wonderfully varied.
.As a breakfast dish with sugar and
cream It is rich and satisfying; for

entree; at tea time cold steamed barley

Indeed, there Is no way In which rice

on the farm. Bow do you care Tor
them? When you are through using the
plow or cultivator, are you satisfied to
put it in the shed for the winter without
cleaning it up and oilipg all the steel
faces? All such tools rust easily II they
are not properly cared for, and you
know that rust is one means OF wearing
out. II only takes q few minutes to
clean a plow and oil 1t, but It saves
