NOW CALLED NICKEL-SlLVER
WeII-Known Metal Has Been Relieved
From the obIiquity Of Bearing
4 German Name.

One of the largest matchmaking
concerns in this country has recently
! changed. the name of the alloy here
tof0re known as German silver, and is
now marketing this commodity as
nickel-silver, and a publication devoted
to the metal industry suggests that
the word silver be eliminated entirely,
as there is no silver in the combina-
tion. This publication says: IF tho
nickel is taken from an 10 per cent
German silver alloy only two and
one brass will remain. Why not then
call the compound 'nickel-brass,' or, II
commercial objections are too strong
to be overcome ut once, why not call it
nickel alloy? The various contents Of
nickel may be designated by utilizing
the different percentages that the al
10y contains. Thus, 4, 6, 8, 10, II, Is,
1S per cent, etc., nickel-allOy. 1t is
fact that some manufacturers are al
ready designating the material now
being sold as Sheffield plate,' as sill
ver-plate on q nickel bnse.' We see
no reason why the same argument
does not apply to the alloy being called
nickel-silvcr."

How much seed corn are we going to

The time to select seed corn is here.
If you want early corn go through

you will soon have an early corn that

raising of seed corn is good business
for any farmer in this county. We

The Sow Thistle
Do you know the Sow Thistle? The
SOW thistle is an enemy as bad as the
quack grass. Some claim it is even
worse In some cases it spreads far
more quickly. The seed of the SOW
thistle is of the fluffy type. Wind
carries it for miles. Do you know
that at least ten farmers have been in
my Office bringing weeds to show me.
These weeds were SOW thistles. And
many other farmers have brought in
complaints such as these" My neigh
bor has SOW thistles." "He lets them
ripen." In year or two my farm
will be covered with them;" One man
put it as strong as this: eff we can't
stop these thistles, I'll pull out"
There is no question at all about
the seriousness of this weed. In GER
tain localities it has taken over whole
townships. Let us wake up. The
Hun is at the door. We need grain
stock but no SOW thistles.
