I O A R AR The safest and hest test for deter- mining the vitality of seed corn is the individual ear test. A box of conveni- ent size, (2x2 or 2x3 feet) and four to six inches deep, is first made. It is next filled with sand or sawdust and thoroughly wetted. A muslin cloth the size of the box is next provided. Upon it, with a lead pencil, two-inch squares are marked. These squares are numbered 1, 2, 3, 4, etc. This cloth is now carefully placed in the box and fustened. We are now ready to place the seeds. Preparatory to taking ten kernels from each ear for the germination, one must provide a place for keeping the ears according to number, un- mixed, so that when the test is made one can go at once to the ears, and discard or save as the case may be. The Minnesota Experiment Station | has found that a “tree” is most con- venient and entirely practicable. About 150 ears can be numbered and cared for on a 4x4 tree six feet high. This would be enough corn to plant a field of twelve to fifteen acres. The tree is made of a 4x4, or a 4inch post or even a 2x4, with a 15x18-inch base. Ten-penny finishing nails are driven (slanting slightly upward) three to four inches avart into the tree. Each nail is given a.number, as 1, 2, 3, 4, etc. ‘When the ten kernels from the first | ear are removed, they are placed in square No. 1 in the box, and the ear is placed on nail No. 1—thus the iden- | tification. The next ear goes on nail No. 2, and its ten seeds are placed in and so on until the squares in the box are all filled and the ears are on their respective nails. | Another cloth is now necessary. This one should be several inches larger than the box. Spread it evenly over the seeds in the squares, and cover | over with about an inch of sawdust or sand. Mboisten it thoroughly, and turn | in the edges of the cloth, and press gently but firmly down on the seeds. Now set the germinator away and | await results. In four or five days, if the tempera- | ture is right, the count may be made and the best ears saved. Remove the S | course it was. sar and Cza Frequently the inquiry is made as t0 why the spelling tsar, to designate the emperor of all the Russias. should be preferred to czar. The most nat- ural and obvious answer is that the spelling indicates the Russian pronun- ciation of the word, which czar does ' not. The title comes from an old Slavonic word, which some authorities are agreed Latin caesar, ties who bold that its ultimate deriva- tion is from the Roman. The gri.zin of the common spelling is suppflm‘d[ to be the writings of Herberstein. about 1550. The letter “c” in Roman- Slavonic bas the sound of “ts.”” The letter was copied. but the sound was not. The letter “z" never belonged in the word. The spelling czar is now regarded by many as old fashioned. With some Germans the spelling is zar, which is pronounced tsar. the spelling. and that form is increas- ing in English. The London Times, a most careful authority. employs it. and so does the Encyclopedia Britannica in its supplementary volumes.—Chica- i g0 Record-Herald. The Green Constable. A rew constable on duty in a pro- vincial town handed to a sergeant a shilling which he said he had found. The man with the three stripes told him he was quite right in acting as he had done. Proceeding ou his round, the sergeant met a brother sergeant and, with a grin, told him the tale of the shilling. They both agreed the new recruit was very green, and at the conclusion of their duties they went to the nearest inn. and the pos- sessor of the coin called for two drinks. On receiving them he threw down the shilling to pay for them, but the land- lord refused it, saying it was a bad one. The sergeant. notoriously mean. had to supply the requisite amount out of his own pocket and also to put up with the laugh against himself. On his telling the constable his find was a bad one the man answered: “Yes, ot Do you think I would have been silly enough to give it to | you if it hadn’t been?"—Pearson's.

Eleven other members of the crew . had narrow escapes swimming ashore. { | The steamer was approaching Vesta lock No. 1 when, without warning, a cyclonic gale of wind struck the side of the boat, turning it over completely.

She is also mobilizing her navy. France’s alleged interference with Spain’s Moroccan policy is back of Spain’s action. i L AVEIC B i " Investigating Woman Suffrage.

As a matter of fact, on a test of 100 seeds from any of | these ears, you would get a different | percentage test, as more individual kernels would be involved. Your seed of the different percentages of ger- mination should be kept at all times separate. Those germinating 100 per cent may be planted with the exact number of kernels desired for the proper number of stalks per hill. The 90 per cent germinated should be hill; and if necessary, after the corn is four to six inches, those hills with an excess number of stalks may be thinned out. In this way and in no other can the fullest degree of a per- fect standard be maintained. A sin- gle ear test made in this way will be found highly advantageous in the im- provement of the corn and in the bet- terment of the yield. —— ing the end.
