the structure few hours after it was

firemen tried to put out the fire and
only succeeded after the entire cupola
was destroyed, leaving only the stone
supports.
The city hall itself was deluged with
water, but the objects of art stored
therein, including valuable paintings,
were not damaged. Neither was the
historic governors room nor the alder
manic chamber, which was deliberately

portraits of George Washington, Cen

of the governors of the state since
1777. The portrait of Washington is

the hall was completed and Mayor
Edward Livingston, who laid the cor

PLAIN TESTER FOR ALFALFA
Percentage Of terminating Ability
Easily Determined by Method
Described Herewith.

(From the United States Department Of
Agriculture.)
The percentage Of alfalfa seed that
will grow can be easily determined by
means Of a simple tester. The seed
should be thoroughly mixed, after
which 100 or 200 seeds should be count
ed out. The seeds should be placed
between two pieces Of blotting paper
or two folds Of piece Of flannel cloth,
care being taken that the seeds do not
touch one another. The seed contain.
er should then be put on plate, we'll
moistened without saturating, covered
with another plate inverted, and the
tester then placed where the tempera.
ture can be kept at about 70 degrees
Fahrenheit. After about three days
the sprouted seed should be counted
and removed each day until about the
sixth, when most of the good seeds
will have sprouted and the percentage
that will grow can be determined.
Some hard seed are occasionally pres
ent in a sample. These may be alive,
but they require additional time for
termination. In the case Of Grimm
alfalfa as much as IS per cent of the
seed is frequently hard.
