HOME AS MANS CASTLE.

The Supreme Court OF Michigan.
this week rendered important opin-
ions bearing upon contests OF three
search warrants that had been sworn
out and served upon a dwelling where
the agents OF the law suspected that
intoxicating liquors had been Illegally
stored. The court ruled that such
warrants must be based upon actual
facts. not supposiilon. and be sup
ported by written affidavits, not oral
complaints. Also, the court ruled that
dwelling could not be searched for
evidences OF liquor law violations. even
with a search warrant, unless IL is
shown that the dwelling :hus sus-
pected is a public resort.
These decisions go largely in sup
port OF the ancient doctrine, as laid
down by a distinguished British jurist
many years ago, that "a mans house
is hts castle" and may be, defended as
the feudai lords OF ancient times de-
Tended their buttressed abodes. IL Is

The farm garden in North Dakota

and cents for the time and money
invested in 1t. Fresh vegetables are
necessary in the diet Vegetables can
not be supplied fresh to the farms in
any way except by the home garden.
Canned vegetables are poor substi-
tute, and many vegetables cannot be
secured at all in the canned form.
A garden is necessary part of home
life. 1t supplies an interest other

Locate the garden as close to the
house as a suitable place can be
found. Protection from the south and

desirable. If there is no permanent
shelter, for temporary protection
plant corn or other high growing
plants. For permanent protection q

college. They say that, due to the
large amounts of corn rot fungus In
many sections. the seed corn ought to
be tested so that the dead or weak
ears can be taken out.
Dry rot fungus stays in the ears and
cannot be detected in the seed. How
ever, wherever it Is present it seriously
weakens the terminating qualities. and
! often destroys them.
A modified rag doll tester is made
cheanlv and easily. Take strip Of
glazed butchers paper nine or ten
inches wide and six feet long and a
similar strip Of good quality bleached
muslin and lay the muslin on the pa
per. The paper is used to prevent the
molds from spreading throughout the
roll.
To operate the tester, boil the cloth
in water and place on the paper. Then
place the grains of seed corn. taken
ut random from the ears. on the damp
cloth germ side down. Place the tips
of the corn all the same way. Roll up
the strip with the kernels of the corn
carefully and place the roll on end
in a tub or pail which has about a
quart of water in it. Place wet sack
over the dolls to prevent their driving
out. Keep at temperature of 80 to
IS degrees F. The corn will gerninate
rapidly.
Be careful not to place the kernels
too close together in the tester as the
molds, if present, will spread. Where
kernels are weak discard the ear. In
using the rag doll tester for second
testings be sure and get new paper

to remove any moids that might have
