LOCKS WHISKY IN A SAFE Rrofesser Knows Friends Are Honest, but lew't Taking Any Chances. \ e Westfield, Mass.—Twenty. quarts of Dottled-in-bond whisky, owned by mmn‘mmmm food expert, has been kept in his safe “since Jan. 16. N “I know my friends are honest,” B says, “but I am taking no chances.” The whisky is required from time te time in the professor’s research and experimental work, and he laid in a liberal supply before constitu- tional prohibition went into effect. Prof. Allyn is working overtime try- g to keep pace with the demand for analysis of home-made beverages. One small bottle of home-made wine, which the owner assured him possessed a real kick, proved to be 28 per cent alcohol, or from two to three times the alcoholic content of wines formerly offered for sale. KEthyl alco- kol may have been added to the con- coction, Prof. Allyn thinks. At any rate, it is the most remarkible of the hundreds of “harmless home-made drinks” he has yet analyzed. Peeeping Frogs Sing in Nepaug Swamps Winstead, Conn. — Peeping frogs were heard in the cowslip swamps at the base of Yellow Mountain in Nepaug. “Two more hard freezes and - they’ll be out for good,” said Depcon Riley Munsted of Ne- paug. John Scanlon of New Hart- ford, rural mail carrier, while traversing his route over Lake Wonksunkmonk hills this win- ter scattered grain for a flock of partridges, with the result that the game birds now awalt his arrival and follow his rig for a considerable distance. One of the partridges tagged Scanlon a distance of a halt mile, he said. TURKEYS ARE HARD TO RAISE Reason Is Because Poults Are Allowed to Become Chilled or Damp and Infested. Many people say that turkeys are too hard to raise. and fewer of them are raised from the number of eggs set than any other kind’of fowl. This 1s almost alway< hecause the little poults are allowed to get chilled or damp or lousy during the first month or six weeks, After that age turkeys . are the hardiest of fowls. . “IT’S JUST GRAND,” SAYS MRS.

Mrs. Rogers torwerly hveu at Wenatchee, Wash., where she is also well known. “My health was so bad for years that I becamé almost a physical and nervous wreck,” she continued. *“I had nervous indigestion, disordered kidneys and other troubles. I was perfectly miserable and for over two years I could not eat any bread, milk or meat, and had to live on the very lightest of foods. I suffered so that sleep was almost impossible and I fell off to a mere shadow of my former self. I was under constant treatment for eighteen months but kept getting worse instead of better. | : I nearly gave up all hope and my husband, too, thought Igwas going to die. He decided to send me to a health resort, but I was so low I had to be carried and have an attendant all the time." ¢ “It was then that a lady from Van- couver persuaded. me to try Tanlac and it was just three days before I noticed a change for the better. I have now taken five bottles, have gained eighteen pounds and all of my . old troubles are gone entirely.: I eat t_hfe_e gooq meals every day and sleep like a child all night long.

It is a simple matter to test the ‘|sprouting ability or seeds Ry furnish- ing them with warmth, moisture and air. Air is everywhere, so practi- cally we need only to provide moist- ure and warmth. Here are some simple ways of test- ing the viability of sprouting qual- ities of seeds. 1. Fill a water tumbler, a cup, or bowl half full of clean moist sand. Place on top of the sand 10 or more seeds. Place over the top of the tumbler a small plane of glass or a saucer. 2. Pour a little water into a soup plate or pie pan. Set a flower-pot saucer right side up.in the water. Place 10 or more seeds in the caucer Cover the saucer by inverting over it another flower pot saucer, preferably slightly smaller. Keep in a warm room. 3. Cut three or more pieces of blotting paper or heavy carpet pa- per so they will lay flat in a pie pdate, a soup plate, or some similar dish. Place 10 or more seeds between each two layers of paper. Add wa- ter enough to moisten the paper, and either cover the receptacle or else add more water to keep the paper moist. Keep in a warm room. 4. Plant the seeds in soil in a pa- per flower pot, an earthen flower pot, or a window box. Keep the soil moist and warm. In each case the seed should ger- minate in a few aays. After the root sprout is well developed examine the seeds to see the baby plant and the wrapper that incloses it. This seed testing offers”excellent opportunities for problems in per- centage of viability. It is especially important to test seeds that have been held over from previous years. It is worth while, however, to have pupils test samples of all seeds. . The *“rag-doll test’—Sterilize a piece of muslin (8 by 16 inches is a convenient size) and a fruit jar with hot water. Lay the cloth flat on a clean table. Count out 50 or 100 seeds of the lot you wish to test. Roll them into the cloth until they are covered. Add another set.from anoth- er lot ana roll. Continue until all samples of all the lots of seeds are enclosed. Fold the ends of the roll together toward the center; place in the jar. ‘Add a small amount of wa- ter to keep the rag moist. Perfor- ate the top of the jar and screw it on. Place in a warm place. Keep a record of the date. In a few days un- roll the doll carefully and examine the seeds. If the permination pro- cess is not far enough along, return it to the jar. Note carefully the ger- mination power of the seeds from time to time. Good seeds germinate equally, quickly, vigorously. Discard seed which shows signs of low vital- ity. It is true that plump, bright, large seeds may be full of vitality, yet, ‘'without the test, there is a large pos- sibility. for crop failure. ——————————————— KELLIHER SCHOOL NOTES The high school play given on Fri- day of last week was a great suc- cess.
