THE RAO DOLL TESTER.
If one has to tost seed corn ou ibort
notice and does not hare a box tester
on hand, the "rag doll" tester is a very
convenient one to use and Inexpen
sive as well. In testing corn by this
method first set a good quality or
sheeting or cotton flannel of light
weight, tho amount required depend
ing upon the amount of com to be
tested. This should be cut In strips
about nine Inches wide. Tuck, these to
a board, stretching slightly, ami draw
a line with a soft pencil lengthwise
through the middle of the strip. At
intervals of about three Inches make
cross lines, numbering the spaces
where the kernels tiro to be pi need Hi
some regular order. After numbering
moisten the cloth. Then take six ker
uels from ear No. 1. two each from
ueur the tip. . the center and the butt
uud from both sides of the ear. and
put them on square No. 1, germ side
up, and so on. The strips of cloth
used can -be cut of a length to test
from a dozen to fifty ears, as one de
sires. While the ears may be kept
in rotation, as given number In a row.
the writer has fuuud a very conven
ient murker to be a small piece of
cardboard or pasteboard bearing the
number and stuck to tho ear by tin
eightpenuy nail run into the pith at
the butt. When the kernels are all In
place a little wisp of hay or straw
should te caught tu the end for a core
and the cloth carefully rolled up. To
provide for this the marking for the
spaces should not come closer than
live or six Inches to the ends of the
strips. When rolled up cords should
be tied around the ends of the "nig
doll." When kernels from all eors
to be tested have been secured and
the cloths rolled up they should lie
sonked In tepid water from eighteen
to twenty-four hours. This should
then be placed In u box covered with
a couple of Inches of earth or saw
dust and kept moist and warm for
about six days, at the end of which
time the test should be ready to read.
The "rag doll" tester has an advantage
over the heavy box tester in that It
can be moved easily to places where
it can be kept warm and does not take
up so much room. It also gives quick
er germination than the box tester.
80IL AND FRUIT.
A common mistake In the selection
of a site for the apple orchard tract,
large or small, Is that of choosing a
soil that is too rich; that will cause
abundant growth of wood, but mlglity
little fruit In the valley In which the
writer's ranch Is located is an or
chard of mature apple trees, as pretty
a sight from the standpoint of foliage
as one could ask to see, which has
lately been felled because It did not
deliver the goods. The tract Is fat.
rich nnd well watered. Within guu
shot of this tract Is a block of winter
Nelis pear trees of the same age that
for several years past have grossed
their owner close to n thousand dol
lars per acre. Never wus more em
phatically demonstrated the fact that
soil can be too rich for apples, but
not for pears. Within a mile of these
unproductive apple trees, on thinner
and lighter granitic soils, the apple
trees bear prolitlcnlly to tho point of
breaking down.

PRACTICAL EDUCATION.
That trend in education which Is
coining to iny greater stress upon those
branches that have to do with the
home domestic science and with the
farm manual training, agricultural
and horticultural has much to com
mend It, as it Is clear that these
branches have a far more Important
and vital bearing on the everyday life
of the people than do languages and
some other branches. In many schools
today located in rural communities at
tention is being especially directed to
a study of agriculture and horticulture,
and the results are often manifest In
an improved condition of the school
grounds, while many of the lessons
taught are being worked out on the
farms of the community.

THE WORTH OF RIGHT HABITS.
I'erluips there is no single factor in
the training of the boy or girl us)de
from the fundamental traits of obe
dience and honesty that will have
more to do with their success in life
than the habit of doing well and thor
oughly the task that Is set for them.
It Is very easy for the child to get Into
a slouchy nnd disorderly way of doing
things, and when this Is observed the
parents should do everything possible
to correct It. for unless it is righted It
will crop out In school ns well as In
business pursuits, and In housework
I later on. It takes time and pains to
aid the child in the forming of right
Iml. It of work, but the effort If per
suited tn Is well worth while.
THE POTATO CANKER.
The potato canker, a fungous disease
j that Is akin to the potato scab disease,
i uhlrh has been known in England
xlnce 11XJ1, has made Its appearance In
Newfoundland, and It seems reason
I ably certain that, except for most rigid
precautions, this worst of potato pests
will shortly gain a foothold In the
; United States. The canker causes the
i potatoes it Infect to become a mass
! of warts, loMng both their shape and
value for either seed or eating pnr
' poses, A characteristic that makes It
moat difficult to combat Is that the
i -spores of the canker, once Introduced
into a field, will remain there for years
and not disappear under crop rotation,
as Is true of the potato scab.
