Cvv ??: lOT'raCOT SHELL SEED CORN CAREFULLY BY HANG Seed corn should always be shelled by hand, says the United States De-; | purtmcnl of Agriculture, which ad-, [ vise care in every step connected with seed selection.

Shelling is one of fhu ! most impoi tant.of the tasks. ' Seed ears should fiirt bo nublxM t'.nd the kernels irom tip and butt I should be discarded front the sec' upply- The small kerne's from the tins a no less productive than the oUiei kerne's en the ear; the blunt, thick, rounded kernels from the butts are iust t.f; productive as any of the ivs , ! ut because of the shape arid si/e 'l ey do r.ot plant uniformly when used in a corn planter with other kernels. Shelling by Hand iTofitable. j Shellinjr by band takes marc time and labor but is profitable. The mechanical corn sheller is likely to injure tli(. germ tips of the individual grains, -and to thus destroy or impair their power to germinate. No matter how large the 'required supply, says the department, it will still pay to shell it painstakingly by manual la. j bor, because the greater the acreage to be planted, the greater the ulti mate profit. Ivach ear should be shelled separately into a shallow pan or box, an i ovcry blemished, misshapen, or worm< aten kernel should be rejected. As the seed from each ear is found satisfactory and sound, and free from poor [ kernels, it is poured into the genera! j supply, and another ear is shelled in I the same way. It is much easier t;? ! tick out defective grains from ;? j single layer in a small receptacle than : from a large mingled quantity in a I bushel measure or a bag. -o.

I THE TOUT HEEALD SURPRISE AND WORRY FOR CENTRAL POWERS Collapse of Peace Negotiations Peturbs Berlin and Vienna EMPERORS SUMMON CHIEFS OF STATE yuri - i _ i ? . * rurexgu ministers 01 Vscnircu Powers Sent Hurrying Back to Russia. News of Saturday says that virUia; :ollapsc of the negotiaii. ns belwcc ? the central powers and the Russia i Bolsheviki for peace and the possibilLy that hostilities again may be re umed by the Rus: iuns on the Easbc. r? front, even though with only a comparatively small army, have caused buiprise a:ul porta:bati. n in Rorl'n and Vienna. Realizing the seriousness of the sit nation the German and Austrian emperors have conferred at length with their chiefs of state and the German, and Austro-Hunparian foreign ministers who attended the peace nogottulions at Broxt-Litovsk, have been sent baek there post haste probably for the purpose of attempting to moderate the situation. Not alone are L^on Tvotzky, the Bolshevik foreign minister, and the rthcr leaders of the counter revolution in Russia utterly clis. atisficd with t'.vr 'arms of the pence proposals of the. central powers, but the heads of th Gc man Socialist factions also have expressed their antagonism to those ecxicns 01 tnem which call for the retention of Poland, Lithuania, Courlamf and other toi ritory now in possession of the invaders. Trotzky as the mouthpiece of the, Bolsheviki, has announced in unmis takable terms that the Russian worki is will not accept Uip peace propos als, which he term . "hypocritical.*' tic asserts that if the central powcis dad not agree to the free destiny of the Polish and Lettish nations it would he urgently necessary to defend the Russian revolution. On the battle frjnts the infantry continues virtually inactive but bombardment* of considerable proportion> [are taking place on various sectors m Belgium, France and Italy. Nothing of importance has occurred on the Italian front since the driving;-of the enemy from the west rn bank of t!v Pinve at the Zenson Ijop gave the Ita: iuns full control of the .right bank of 1 lie stream. i Austro-Gor.uan airmen are keeping rj> their raids on Italian open town.*, ' he latos4 of w hich 10 be bombed b ; :np; CastrUranco-Vcr.ito, where two!

I REPORTS EMPHASIZE WANING POWER London. There have boon occasion in! a.sserl;ons in Polrograd dispatches I that the influence and power of th , Lolsheviki was waning*, but never 1 .villi such unanimity as in special dispatches recentlv dated from the Pusi ' J sian capital. Nearly all make the point ?n one form or another that oe! 'Action from the workmen's and sol: (Hers' ; . ganixation is growing conJ. lantly. Among causes alleged are 1 general la k of millvo i< \ in/?i iii drunkenness, the reluctance of the | 1 opulation to work, and the scarcity of foodstuffs. The main desire of the soldier is said to bo for peace. The correspondent cites instances of j P.olshevik troops refusing: to march, ! declining: to attack thc Ukrainians and permitting the Cossacks to disarm ' them without resistance. Fighting, it j is said, is the last thing they are wil!| ing or intend to do. A hostile spiri4 is reported to survive among the Ral tic sailors and the red guard, but the former are not numerous enough to I conquer the Ukrainians and hte red guard is largely untrained. It is reported, therefore, that war against lhc Ukraine probably will not materialize on any serious scale. -o i For Indigestion, Constipation or Biliousness Just try one 50-cent bottle of LAX-FOS WITH PEPSIN.

Cat meat in large pieces should n > be put with scraps for poultry because a hen can swallow a .much larger piece of fat than is good for her. liy cutting waste fat meat in pieces no larger than one would cut for himself at the table, and by making surfthat the fat does not exceed 10 per cent of the scraps fed at oni; time, tim (iang< rs in freoir.g fat are avoided. The best way to save kitchen was o for poultry is to keep a 1-gallon jar, o? gkr/.ed or galvanized ware, with a cover in a convenient place, putting into this scraps of bread, cake, and meat from the table, remnants < m rvjng of vegetables, cereals, pi< , puddings, etc., and whatever waste from the preparation of meals is su Tai>io to combine with those things n? a mash.

Once a day the contents of the jar should he turned into a pail of appropriate size and as much feedstuff mixed with them as can he stiirod >n with a strong iron spoon or a wooden stirring sii k.

Mixing can be done mu.-h more easily and thoroughly by mixing ?n a pail having a capacity about three times the amount of the scraps mixed at one time. If the mash with scraps makes more than one meal for the flock, the ore Cook We agree with a friend of ours \ part of every child's educatior lould he cookies crisp, whole me cookies."
