Two items recall attention to the last' scientific wonder before the discovery of aviation?wireless telegraphy. Mr. Marconi, at present in this county in connection with the rebuilding of his station at Glace Bav. promises wireless trans-Atlantic messages at 6 cents a word to be delivered over the. land wires of the British post-office. The English government simultaneously announces its taking pver of all the Marconi and lJoyds stations on the British coast, but those reserved for trans-Atlantic service, and their annexation to the post-office telegraph system. The government secures control of the patents and any improvements that may be made for fourteen years. Messages will be accepted at any British post ?>incc telegraph station for any ship having wireless equipment. The acquisition is stated by the government to have been made for the purpose of preventing a monopoly in wireless. This step affords a i measure of the commercial progress of wireless telegraphy. Its utility at sea has, of course, been repeatedly demonstrated, but this extension under governmental auspices, which makes every tclepragh station in the British Isles to all intents and purposes a receiving . and transmitting point for wireless messages, must stimulate its use exceedingly. If Mr. Marconi's l?-cent messages are made good, trans-Atlantic communication will be wonderfully broadened.? Pittsburg Dispatch. So. 43-'09. Unappreciated Prank. 4<Dobson is an unnatural father."

PRACTICAL AD1 DIVE! Selecting Corn For Larger Yields. In selecting seed corn In the flel it should be done after the ears hav thoroughly matured and before col weather approaches. If possible, s< lections should only be made froi healthy rigorous growing stalks o which the leaves and tops have bee allowed to remain until the full mi turity of the plants. If the ears ar harvested by hand In the usual wa; then let the seed corn be selecte from the field just befrre this opei atlon and select ears from staH which are bearing the most shelle corn per stalk, as such seed whe planted will lead to better yields. Any method of seed selection thi does not take the plant as a whol into consideration is not going 1 lead to the best results; for the stal and leaves, which are the manufai tory of the plant, determine to a coi slderable extent the size and qualil of the ears. In all our results it hi been observed that those varietW which have generally been the bei yielders are those which produc more than one ear per stalk. Eai of medium length and size are pre erable to the long and large one because the latter were generall either produced on stalks that boi but one ear, or else on stalks thi grew on some fertile spot in the flel< i neither of which tends to the gveatei yields. Seed from corn grown o average land will do better plants on land of medium fertility than wi seed from corn grown on rich land fc the same reason that stock accui s tomed to poor conditions will do be 1 ter on an Inferior pasture than stoc ? accustomed to more favorable su l roundings. i Do not turn over the selection < s your seed to the hired man, but d( vote your own best efTorts to It. s will pay you handsomely in Increase t yields the following year for all tt i time and thought you may have give ' to this important matter. In fac ; there are but few. if any, operatior j of the farm that will pay as well f 3 the proper selection of seed from tt l standing stalks in the field. By continually selecting and plan ing corn possessing certain desirabl characteristics, such as production < two good ears per stalk, it will 1 found, as the selection goes on froi year to year, that these desirab! qualities have each year become moi thoroughly fixed. In making selections in the fielt at least three to four times as muc corn should be gathered as is desire for seed purposes the following yea so that further and more careful si lection can be made after the eai have been taken to the barn and whe a leisure time presents Itself. In tli final selection the ears should be a ranged conveniently on the barn floe or ground, and with an ear of tli type desired in mind or in hand, e over the lot and remove all undesi able ones. The seed thus selecte should be transferred to a box or ba rel and covered with wire gauze < somethng else that will permit < thorough ventilation and keep 01 the rats ar.d mice.
