The (JsHppoiqting search for gttod seed corn every spring should be a suffi cient reason for following tills prac tice. strongly advocated by the Tnlted States Department of Agriculture. Any Intelligent fanner can go Into his own cornfield when the corn is mature and select high-grade seed If he ha* planted suitable types of com and cul tivated properly.

Having secured a leave of absence from the Persian court, and creden tials from the king, Neheiniah Jour neyed to Jerusalem. After resting three days without disclosing his pur pose to any one, he made a survey of the walls by night. Having thus ob tained first-hand Information he called the representatives of the Jews to gether and said. “Let us build the walls of Jerusalem.” He then made known the hand of providence In bringing him to Jerusalem with the authority to rebuild Its walls. He thus showed great wisdom In finding out for himself the real conditions and what work would be required to re store the walla.

Perhaps there are a few who know that there are imitations on the market, and knowing this demand Fletcher’s. It is to ALL motherhood, then, that we, call attention to the numerous imitations and counterfeits that may be set before them. ~ ' c It is to all motherhood everywhere that we ring offt the warning to beware of the “Just-as-good”. For over thirty years Fletcher’s Castoria has been an aid in the upbuilding of our population; an aid in the saving of babies. And yet there are those who would ask you to try something new. Try this. Try that. Even try the same remedy for the tiny, scarcely breathing, babe that you in all your robust womanhood would use for yourself!

Event ually it Is hoped that there will be a man in every township doing this seed corn work ami. where possible, having seed corn houses in which to dry it. In Seott^,county, Minnesota, last year, 4,300 acres of selected seed were planted. For their planting 32 farmers field-selected their seed corn, and all had a surplus to sell. Stearns comity has 31 eo-operuturH lu seed corn work. Minnesota No. 13, Rust less White v Dent, and Northwestern Dent were the varieties used. Some of this certified seed was awarded to 30 farmers with their farm bureau re newal. thus Insuring a good distribu tion for this year.

Co-Operation by Written Agreement. The county agent for Huerfano county, Colorado, visited 20 farmers last year who were among the fore most corn growers, and made written • i BIm U< i**r*d (4 10 Cents Gives Charming New Shade to PUTNAM FADELESS DVKS *>— or Mat. a.

It Is reported that certain experi ment* have ‘shown that a vibration of sound having an amplitude of lea* than one-twelve-mIMIonth of a centi meter could still affect the sense of hearing. Such a vibration would be so short that It would have to be en larged one hundred times before the most powerful microscope could ren- ,der it visible, supposing that It were ' capable of being seen at all. Old per- sons, it Is said, do not hear high notes which are audible to young persons, and there Is reason to believe that babies bear notes that arc inaudible to their elders.—New York Herald.
