enough to take from one our for practi
cal work If properly taken.
The four kernels from each oar must
be placed In a separate group, and Jt
Is best that the group bo marked or
numbered to correspond with the num
ber of tho car from which the kernels
were taken. For this plan It Is neces
sary that tbe-cani be placed In regular
order lis tho kernels nro removed from
them. A good device for arranging tho
oars In regular order is shown In tho
first cat
One of the quickest and most con
vcnlent devices for making germina
tion tests Is that first used by Profess
or Ooff nt the Geneva station In New
York. This apparatus consists of a
water tight box across which nro o
tended folds of canton flannel. These
folds are suspended from wires and
can be removed to dry when .not In
use. Tho box must be filled to tho
depth of about an Inch with water, so
that the folds of canton flannel will
hang down enough to touch the water
and thus be moistened by capillarity.
Tho box should bo about '13 by 21 Inch'
cs and i or 5 Inches deep. It may bo
made of wdod, galvanized 'Iron, tin or
copper, and tho wires can be cut frord
ordinary smooth galvanized xenco wire,
When kernels of com are to bo tested
In this gcrnilnutlug apparatus they ura
removed from tho cars, placed between
the folds In regular order ana tho folds
closed together. The groups of kernels
from the separate ears may bo nnm

bering will not be absolutely necessary
n proper euro Is used to have the
grooDfl of Kernels correspond to the
ears cf corn from which they came.
After the kernels are put In place the
folds ore drawn together nt tho top,
the lid cloood ujfon the box arid the ap
paratus left until tho kernels gennl
nate. When put Into this box the ker
nels will not usually suffor for mois
ture during tho length of time of one
test Tills Is one of the advantages of
the Geneva tester over tho plate of
sand where the moisture may need re
newing each day or even oftcner. The
folds ate easily opened when it Is nec
essary to Inspect tho kernels to count
the number which have germinated.

Hon. however, thnt the tourist who
sees the reduced fac-simlle of
Spokane will be so charmed that
he will go up to sec the actual city.
The plan is Jo reproduce the city
in detail From Jefferson street to
Davidson street between Mallou
avenue and the Northern Pacific
railroad. To the sightseer the city
will appear as if seen from an eleva
tion over the river at jetterson
street, and he will be looking away
to the nroth. theeast and Ihe south
The foundation of the city which
will includo the streets, curbs and
sidewalks will be of cement from
two inches to six inches thick. The
district .to be reproduced will be
made on an absolute scale of 30 feet
lo the Inch, which will make the
exhibit 10x12 feet. The cement
foundation will be divided into 10
aections, weighing 120 pounds each,
so that it can be safely moved.
The buildtucs will be hand-carved
from pine. Each city block will be
made separately, and will be fast-
rued upon the cement foundations
by dowals. That will permit the
whole tbing to be taken apart lor
shipment. After the details of all
the business buildings are carved
they will be painted in the actual
colors of the structures. The bridges
will be reproduced of wood and
wire. The outlying portions of the
bity will be paiuted upon canvass
and adroitly joined to the little
city so as to appear In natural perspective.
