Experience has taught farmers tbat o nil miry seed corn selected lu the sprlnjj from the crib stock does not all come up, so they plant more than Is wanted or would do well on the land, expecting to thin to tho desired stand. A better way Is to plant seed, all of which will germ Inn te nud give strong, healthy plants, using no more seed than Is necessary. The methods commonly practiced do not give satis factory corn oven after It Is thinned, and replanted corn seldom amounts to anything except to furnish a llttio fodder. A little time spent In count ing the missing stalks and hills In GEHMINATION BOX. some fairly good fields of corn will soon convince any man that poor stuuds are responsible for a loss of 10 to 15 per cent of our corn crop. All the equip ment thnt is necessary are a shallow grocery bbx, three to six inches deep, and some blotting paper or pieces of cloth. The box Is filled to wlthlu an Inch of the top with wet sund or saw dust. Over this Is spread a piece of muslin thnt hns been marked off in checks an Inch nud lOhnlf squnre. The checks may bo numbered, or by mark ing one corner it is easy to count In regular order to any particular check. The size of the box depends on the number of ears to be tested. A box 18 by 30 Inches Is large enough for 240 ears. In order to save time and trouble the car$ of corn should be laid out lu a regular row side by side, where they need not be disturbed for a week or ten days. Then, starting at one end of tho row, take up each ear In order and with a small knife blade pick out six kernels. Place these ker nels on the check In the germiuntor corresponding in number to the num ber of tho ear In the row of corn. The kernels should be selected from differ ent pnrts of the ear and not from one spot. Cover the corn in tho germlua tor with some wet blotting paper or thick cloth and set the box in n warm place for a few days. If left well moistened and kept warm tho corn will germinate In five or six days. Tho re is much to be learned from n germination test. Usunlly the kernels from some ears do not have tho power to germinate at all. Otliers, although sprouting, show a lack of vitality, giv ing weak, sickly plants, while some grow vigorously from the start. Those ears lacking In vitality and germinat ing power should be discarded. Such Very few married men play foot ball.

Those who wish to use strictly m to-the-mtnute language no longer say a person "went up In the air. He or she "aviated" Is the correct form. While part of the world Is long ing for luxuries It could enjoy, many of those who have them would be willing to give them back to be able to enjoy them.

Jacl30D St Roseburg, Or iOPPOOOODPBPB0BaPOOftflfln SPECKLED KAB, ETC ears are largely responsible for poor Hands of corn, and they make It neces sary to plant more seed than la needed, thus making thinning compulsory. It Is natural for the corn to cross. , There is even an Interval of two to four days between the time of silking and the shedding of the pollen of the same plant. If the laws of Inheritance holds true in plants as In animals and all experiments lead us to believe they do It Is Just as Important for us to know the character of the plants that furnish the pollen, or, In other words, the male parents of our seed corn, as to know the character of the plant that bears the sir the female parent 1 ice S Rice, The House Furnishers There's Nothing to Compare with a Little Home all Yea Own.
