URGE TESTING OF SEED CORN
Even When Carefully Selected and
Stored 1t Should Be Tested Be-
fore Planting.

Even where seed corn has been
carefully gathered and stored II
should be thoroughly tested In the
spring before planting. The best way
to do this is to make a seed corn test
ing box and test 100 ears separately.
Each kernel that is tested must be
perfect, and not injured at the tip
when 1t is removed from the ear.
Hand-shelling will give much fewer in
jured tips than machine Smelling. and
should be used with all seed corn. II
three or more kernels out of ten from
any one ear fail to grow It will be
wise to test every ear in the entire
supply of seed. If the 100 tested ears
show no poor ones, further testing OF
the supply is unnecessary.

COMPOST HEAP. MADE
FROM GARDEN WASTE
Organic Rubbish OF All Kinds
Especially Suitable.
start by Laying Down Bed Of Stable
Manure and Alternating With
Refuse ENTHUSIASTICALLY VAL
liable for Hotbeds.

Garden waste, decayed vegetables,
dead vines, weeds, and the organic
rubbish that collects about the place
during a busy summer may be cleaned
up and put to work again through the
agency of a compost heap, say spe-
cialists Of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. Start the heap
by laying down a bed of stable ma
nure which has not been burned or
heated. The size of the plot will vary
with the amount Of refuse to be used
for ordinary uses, If the bed is made
eight feet long by six feet wide and
two feet deep it will serve the pur-
pose. Over the manure spread two
foot layer Of refuse and cover with
another layer of manure. This last
layer need be only foot In thickness.
If 1t is desired to add to the heap
from time to time the top layer may
be opened and the new material emp
tied into the hole thus made. This is
convenient for the suburban home
where there Is no animal to consume
the kitchen waste. In the spring the
heap is well mixed with a fork and
the compost is ready to be spread on
the garden plot. The heating manure
will effectively destroy any weed seed
present and will also break down the
structure Of most Of the materials
that have been thrown upon the pile.
The process may be continued indefi-
nitely by simply adding enough ma
nure to insure heating. Compost is
especially valuable for use In hotbeds
and cold frames.

At any rate If the dog snarls and

IL you see a female dog with her pup

that il signifies that something over
which you are now worried, or disap-
pointed, or angry, and which you re-
gard ms unfortunate will. in the long
run, turn out greatly to your advan-

that you are too free with your money I;
don't spend so much on mere trivial

dream under any circumstances means
that you have faithful friends who

Till ! longed again for the aewiSh
God, for the God who smote with
flame.
And wondered much If there fingered
still not a dream of boyhood land,
Not a tender thought Of a mothers
kiss or q touch Of sisters hand.
For we wander far. and the years 60
by. and the boyhood vision fades,
Yet we are the sons Of the mothers or
men and brother to all the maids.
And II Is not there in the wild alone
that the souls Of men forget;
In the house of pride, on the polished
stair, where the gilded ones are
met,
I have heard the tale that Is OFTEN
told on the dirty bar-room floor
While the idle smiled, and the lounger
laughed, and the bestial asked for
more.
For the thing we are Is the thing we
are, not the thing IN garments
new;
And the coat that fits Is the tailor's
coat. but the man inside Is you.
1t Is such as l. II Is such as you. that

Yet we are the sons Of the mothers OF

Yea, the sons we are of motherhood,
of a mother-love. divine,
And I can not SANDER this mother
yours-if do l SANDER mine;
Yea. the brothers are of sisterhood
of the sisters loved or lone,
And you can not Islander the least and
say that the world shall spare
your own.
For a woman's name and a woman's
fame they are sweet. and frail. as
flowers;
But the strength to shield and the
arm to WELD for the womab's
name are ours.
Let the God-made man keep his God
made trust till his life's last twi-
light fades
For we are the sons Of the mothers
of men and brother to all the

WEEDS ARE INJURIOUS

Weeds are injurious to man In

They consume the moisture
necessary for a crop. 8. They
consume the mineral or other

crop. 4. They pull down a crop.
8. They are injurious because
