HEIGHT THAT FEW ATTAIN
Not Many People Can Boast Their
Complete Guiitiessness of the
"Seven Deadly Sins"

The t'seven deadly SINS are pride.
envy, lust, avarice, anger, Sloth and
gluttony.
The fathers, the sages, the wise
men of the world, handing down from
one generation to another through the
centuries what they had observed and
learned, at last agreed that all our
spiritual and mental miseries, as well
most of physical sufferings,
come from indulgence in the
thoughts and actions included in the
aforementioned list of SINS
Old-fashioned people used to keep
this list constantly before them, and
their spiritual and physical health
progressed or declined in the measure
that they were able or unable to con-
troll their thoughts and appetiteS.
In these modern days we are still
surprised to learn that the list of
seven deadly sins was ever even made.
and we are more surprised to know
that it is list which really covers
the whole moral scheme of existence.
The man who can finally subdue
himself into state in which he does
not break any of the laws for which
the seven deadly sins stand as in
himself. He is what we would call a
pretty good man. and we would like
to have him as a nefghbor. Not to be
Iustful. never to be avaricfous or
angry, nor to be a lazy man nor a
gfutton, means that you need fear no
man or devil. and that you certainly
shall not be afflicted with govt
BE good and you will be happy
There's many saying, but there is
none better than that

So when he left for the front it was

old copper kettle was not needed for

higher than 100 degrees
or lower than so degrees F. A tenn
perature between 80 degrees and 90
degrees f. during the day and SO de-
grees and 60 degrees during the night
will give good results 1t is not adj
viSable to give the dolls q second soak
ing. A good way to prevent drying
out is to wrap them up in a piece of
wet Sacking or put them upright in an
ordinary water bucket and cover them
with a wet cloth. In either case pro-
vision must be made for draining off
excess moisture. At the end of five
days, with temperatures approximate
ing those recommended, the kernels
should be sprouted sufficiently to show
their fitness for seed.
If any sample has noticeably weak
termination has more than two
dead kernels, the ear from which the
sample was taken should be discarded
There may be times, such as the spring
of 1918. when the supply of good seed
corn is extremely limited. In such
sea sons, it is well to retain all ears
showing a termination of 60 per cent
or more. The poorer terminating
ears Will have to be used if the supply
of seed terminating SO per cent or
better is not sufficient Keep the
poorer seed separate and If it must be
used, plant it thicker than the rest.
When to Use Rag Dolls.
OF course, the testing of the ger
mination of each ear is some trouble.
However, TO obtain successful corn
crop it is work that must be done by
those who have not retained seed corn
of good termination from a previous
crop. The holding over of good seed
corn from a crop that matured thor
oughly makes it possible to continue
the improvement and adaptation of
strain without losing seed and is less
troublesome than the making of Sepa-
rate ear termination tests. The use
of the rag doll, therefore, is not recon-
mended as the best practice possible.
but as the most satisfactory way of
getting suitable homegrown seed
when a supply has not been held over
from good crop and fall freezes have
occurred SO early as to injure the ger
minating power of the crop.
