the dog reached the end Of the slip hard pressed by Cane. Hasy decision
between leaping for the boat and falling into his pursuers hands was nece-
sary and the dog chose the former course. The leap fell short however. and
the boat drew out, leaving the dog standing on a cake Of ice In the water.
Seeing the animals plight the Chicagos captain stopped his boat and
hacked up. A deckhand assoed the dog, but the latter wrgged out of the
moose. A crowd gathered and watched the dog struggling in the water amid
the ice. After desperate efforts he reached the end of the clip rack and
paved at it, vainly trying to climb. Cane went out or the top OF the rack,
dropped between the piles and pulled the dog out of the water.
climbing with great difficulty to the top Of the slippery rack Cane swung
the big dog to his shoulders and, amid yels Of approval from tn folk on
boat and shore, slowly reraced his steps.
The dog vas taken to the house of Engine No. 6 at lib Liberty street to
await his owner. On his collar wa a French license tag with the inscription:
"T N Planter, Hotel Bristol, Paris"
The dog as emaciatd, indicating that he had been without food many

Deep Flowing Increases
i Corn Yields

Along with other factors that are
now being discussed as essential to
a larger corn crop, Director Patter-
son Has called attention to the fact
that deep plowing, as proven by ex-
perrin Ehents at the Station, is a matter
of prime consideration.
During 1910 a crop OF corn was
raised on each of two fields, one be-
ing blowed 13 inches deep and the
othe& Z inches deep, both in the fall
befo& the crop. Corn raised on the
deepSsplowed field produced 56.2 bu-
shells Tof corn against 52.7 bushels
from lthe shallower plowed field.
The deep plowed field also produced
1873 pounds more fodder.
Twb other fields plowed the same
way i'm the spring of 20, produces
42.2 bushels of corn the deeper
plowed feld, and 36.7 shells on the
shallo3wer plowed field. The differ
ence id yield of fodder was 43 pounds
in favor of the deeper plowing.
Another example decidedly favor
ing deep blowing was when an 8
acre field, equally divided, was plow-
etA4 acres IA inches deep, and 4
al Eches deep. This field was
pla ksilage corn. The grow

TEST ALL SEED CORN
Grow - Directions For Making
Tester.

To construct a termination box "a
by "a by 3 inches, inside measure
ment, cut two pieces of the 3 inch
board exactly "A inches long. Then
cut two more pieces of the same
width board 25 IL inches long ii
the material is "a inch thick, or cut
to rs rs inches if the material is
rs inches thick. Nail these four
pieces together for the sides of the
box, using two eight penny nails in
fastening each joint. The bottom
may be made of II inch material
inches wide cut to the full length of
the box. Nail the two outer pieces
on first and then space the remaining
four boards equally. The open space
between the boards will provide
drainage and avoid crowding when
they become moist.
Cut a piece Of white muslin "a in
ches square. Mark this cloth in two
inch squares, leaving a margin OF
two inches on each side. This forms
the bottom cloth. The top cloth
should be at least 2S inches square.
The numbering may be done on the
edge of the box, or each equare may
be given its proper number.
Fill the box half full of well pack
ed, moist sawdust. Moisten the
marked cloth and place it in the box,
and then begin placing the kernels
in their proper square, laying them
with the germ side up. Take the
first kernel from the seed ear at d
point about one inch from the butt, {
turn this opening up and remove
the second kernel from the center
and side of the ear, turn this open
ing up, and remove the third kernel
at point Just inside the irregular
kernels of the tip and at right an
giles to the last kernel removed. Now
turn this opening up, omit two rows
and remove the fourth kernel at "a
point about one inch from the butt. (
The fifth and sixth kenrels are Sc
cured in similar manner to the
HeSond and third. Place the ear
n Der on a small square of paper
and -asten it to the cob with a /
large-headed brad. For convenience |
tie the corn in bundles of ten ears
each. Cover the kernels with the |
moistened top cloth, and fill the box
level full of moist saWdust packed |
lightly.
The termination box should be
kept at room temperature for seven !
days. At the end of this time re-
move the top cloth and sawdust by
carefully rolling it from one side |
The test is read by noting the strong, |
weak and dead kernels. A strong
kernel will have a good sprout and |
from three to five rootlets. The |
weak kernel will show some growth, i
but will have a weak sprout and few
rootlets. The dead kernel will usu-
ally mold and will not show any signs |
of life. Use for planting the ears i
that show strong in the termination
test and discard all others.

How Do You Cut
Your Potato Seeds?

IN advance OF a DulfHCIH z IUI
preparing potatoes for seed, which
will be issued shortly by the Expert
ment Station, We are able this month
to give readers of The Record some
timel- ..hints on how to cut their po-
tatoes for planting.
At present, especially among anna
teur gardeners and farmers raising
potatoes on a small scale, there are
almost as many methods of cutting
potatoes for seed, backed by just as
many ideas about it as there are
growers of potatoes. Some have
used peelings, especially last spring
when the price of potatoes was what
we termed "out of sight, and in
this way thought they were econo-
! mizing in having the meat for the
! table use Others have held TO the
notion that an eye is an eye, which
| is all very true, and that regardless
| of whether it was accompanied by
some of the meat, it would grow and
produce, which is also true. But IL
/ will not produce as we'll as a good
J strong sprout, and good strong
| sprouts rarely come from eyes which
are not left, after cutting, with from
one to one and one-half ounces of
meat to them.
There has been a difference OF
opinion, too, in whether to cut close
to the eye or leave the eye in the cen
ter of the seed piece.
These are among a few of the fac
tors considered in the bulletin. Space
is not available in this issue for as
lengthy discussion as we would like
to give But since cutting the SEED
pieces seems at present to be the
most timely, the results OF the eX
periments bearing on this phase fol
lows:
Ewes on the stem half of the tu
ber. if their connection with the ter
minal eyes is severed, are capable o1
producing vigorous sprouts, ano
when all variables in seed prepara
ton are eliminated, they are just a:
valuable for seed as the eyes in the
; terminal or seed half of the tuber.
The yigor of the sprout depend:

in other words, upon the amount o

Eases of its war work. In back of
both the battlefield and base hospit-
al sections there will be painted
scenes, executed by a noted artist,
WHICH will carry out the perspective
and give an impression OF vast dis
tanees. These scenes are cleyerly
placed and visitors to the Canton
ment will, without any stretch OF
ina gination at all, feel that they are
actually in France, viewing the
country made desolate by shot and
she'll.
Other features of the Cantonment
will be equally as realistic and strik-
ing. Among the most impressive
exhibits to be shown will be that of
1900 war trophies, all of which were
captured by Canadian soldiers at
Ypres, Courcelette and Vimy Ridge.
These trophies, following their ex-
hibit here, will be returned to Cana
da, where they will form the nucleus
of permanent war exhibit to be es-
tab1ished by the Dominion. This ex-
hibition alone is well worth the price
of a ticket, which is 40 cents, 20
cent? of which can be applied as a
payment on Liberty Bond. The ac-
tual price of admission, therefore, Is
but Is cents.

be no solicitation of any sort after
ore gets inside the building. The AZ
