Test Your Seed Oats.

The seed laboratory of the Uni
ted States Department of Agri-
culture has recently made germi-
nation tests of seed oats from the
states of Indiana, Iowa and Kan
sas. These should represent a
fair average of the seed that will
be sowed this spring, as the seed
came from farmers in response
to requests for samples of the
oats they are going to SOW them
selves.
The average termination was
lowest for Indiana and highest
for Iowa Of the 1900 samples
tested from the three states 268,
or over 9 per cent, terminated
less than rs per cent; 122 sam
pies, or over four per cent, ger
minated less than so per cent;
and 54 samples, or nearly 2 per
cent, terminated less than Is per
cent. This shows that much of
the seed oats intended to be used
this spring terminates poorly and
that termination tests should be
made in all cases before sowing.
! At the same time that the a.
bove tests were made SIG SAM
Piles taken from car lots of COM
mercial oats were tested, the av-
erage termination being 78 per
cent. This shows that where
commercial oats must be depend
ed on for a seed supply it is even
more important to test the seed
FOR termination than when local
supplies are relied on.
Seed showing a low germina-
ton should either not be sowed
or enough extra seed should be
used to insure getting a good
stand.

in January. The ground was

A contest in Domestic Science by
the pupils in both the township
and village. The larger and the
smaller pupils, while it is nopart
of the curriculum of the schools,
yet it was undertaken to show
what children can do when tried
and for which a premium was
paid for the best, and strange to
say, one little girl, aged about
seven years, took a first premium
on cake, and all did so we'll that
it was difficult to distribute the
honor to whom honor was due.
But this is the first experience in
this direction and we reasonably
expect Some improvement in the
next attempt. A mistake was
made in not classifying the con-
testants. AS done, the small pu-
pill had to contest with the larger,
an act without fairness. Let a
different rule prevail hereafter
and the tot will reap some con-
sideration and fair treatment.
Our Christian Ladies' Aid of
the Beech church held a bazaar

afternoon and feel quite elated
over the success they secured III
the sale of their products and the
liberal sum they realized, which
amounted to more than $50. They
will doubtless feel an inclination
to duplicate their venture.
On next Saturday afternoon
and evening our M. E. ladies will
serve some sort Of refreshments
and a good social time in the
basement of our M. E. church.
May they have the generous sup
port of our community. It is a
foregone conclusion that they will
be equal to the occasion, and rem
der liberal support as surely will
be deserved.

mountain. What vast amount OF
washing and erosion of the rock and
what endless centuries of time must
have elapsed to have cut away the
thousands of square miles which now
spread below this elevated remnant of
the sea bed! From Sheep mountain
the views ia all directions comprise the
most notable Bad Lands scenery in the
world. Below lies the shattered and
fantastic fragment of the once great
plateau, curved and cut and twisted
into thousands of queer and eerie
shapes. There are groups of great
gray birdlike forms; there are things
with long necks and heads that resem-
BILE ostriches; there are shapes that
might be taken for herds of some mon
strous, unknown animals, and gardens
OF giant mushrooms; even profiles and
full views of the human face that
might surely, from their appearance,
have been sculptured by clever work
men of some forgotten race, so perfect
are the expressions of these heroic
statues-all carved, however, by the
rain and the wind blowing the sand
particles against the soft rock.
Once Termed With Life.
Absolutely deserted as are the Bad
Lands today, except for the occasional
traveller, this great plateau, in the very
long ago, when the world was very
young. was teeming with animal life.
NO such animals are alive today; only
their smaller descendants. The huge
Titanotherium, which fed upon the
luxuriant growth OF almost tropical
vegetation with which the Bad Lands
were at one time clothed, would have
made the largest rhinoceros OF the
present age look like a sucking pig.
This antediluvian monster was IA feet
long and stood nine feet high. Other
monsters were the Oredon and the
Elatherium, while a great cat or pan
ther-tiger preyed upon the herb eaters
OF the timo. The bones OF hundreds
OF these animals have been found EN-.
| bedded in the rock strata of the Bad
Lands. The region has ever been re-
nowned as veritable storehouse of
the fossil skeletons OF these pre.
historic animals which lived hundreds
of centuries before the epoch of the
first man.

ancient sea, long since turned to
stone, became lofty plateau. Then
the rivers began their slow work of
cutting, carving and dissecting this
tableland. The result today is that
wonderful region of several hundred
square miles east OF the Black Hills,
known as THE Big Bad Lands" where
nature has chiseled the soft rocks
into thousands of strange Of curious
shapes. The cloudbursts of spring and
summer which visit the Bad Lands Gre
ate innumerable rivers, from small
rills to raging torrents. whose rushing
waters cut deep into the old ocean
bed-layers of hardened sand and clay
carrying 1t into most startling shapes
and forms. There is a beSildering
variety, kaleidoscope change from
every different viewpoint. The Bad
Lands are not, as might be supposed
from the name, somber and desolate
in appearance. Bad they are for the
unwary travellers comfort, even in
deed his safety, since the watering
places are few and far between.
Chaos of Rugged Shapes.
Different from the titanic carvings
OF nature, such as the great canyon Of
the Colorado, which has been cut
largely by single river running cease

the Bad Lands present a fine network

In hundreds rather than thousands of
feet, the result of intermittent erosion.

yeritable chaos OF rugged and gro

SWEETS FOR THE AFTERNOON
Woman Can Make for the De-
light of Guests.

The search for the unusual occupies
the time, or big portion of it, of
many men and women. Men who are
running tiny "fancywork" shops, men
who are managing huge manufacture
ing plants, women who spend most of
their life in the pursuit of society, and
women who spend it managing simply
their own homes, all must seek novel
ties.
Here are some suggestions of I'M
usual sweets that may interest the
woman who tries to furnish tempting
yet inexpensive food
1t is easy enough to buy a bit Of
French pastry at the confectioner's to
give an unusual air to the afternoon
tea tray-if one is willing to pay the
bill. Here is cheap dainty that
will vie with those from the best con-
fectioner: Make rich, slightly sweet
ened biscuit dough and form it into
small rounds. In the center of each
place a pitted, stewed prune and pull
up the edges to cover the prune en-
tirely. Bake quickly golden brown
and serve hot.
For banbury tarts make good pie
crust and roll it thin. Cut 1t into big
circles, and in each place a spoonful
of filing, bring the edges together and
bake brown. Serve either hot or cold.
To make the filing, mix cup Of seed
ed raisins, cup of sugar, the juice
and grated rind of a lemon and beat
en- egg; cook for a few minutes until
the egg thickens and cool before
using.
To make stuffed cookies roll good
sugar-cooky dough thin and cut in
rounds. On half the rounds place
spoonful Of the hanbury-tart filing,
put the other rounds over those with
the filing, pinch the edges together
and bake until done.
Make gingerbread of the soft va
riety with three-quarters of cup of
orange juice substituted for some of
the other liquid. Bake it IN muffin
tins and serve with whipped cream.
