SEED CORN TESTER. Plan of Device Which Can Be Made at Home. The accompanying cut shows a 100- ear crate for storing seed corn and a tray for testing it. The crate should be about 24 inches square, depending upon the size of the ears. The ends should be of one by six inch boards and the sides one by four inch, so as to give good ventilation. It should be divided Into 100 squares by stretching wire across the top each way. These crates are handy to handle and made an ideal storage.

To make a testing tray take a pane of glass or board and cut a piece of thick cloth the same size, laying it on the glass. Wrap with colored string, spacing so as to divide the tray into 100 squares, numbering and lettering to correspond with the crate. To test the seed take the tray to the crate and beginning at A-l take six grains from different parts of the ear and place them in the tray on the cor responding square. Great care should be taken that the grains are kept sep arate. When the tray has been filled Ear Arrangement in Tester's Order cover carefully with ■ cotton batting and wet it thoroughly. Where enough crates are provided for all the seed corn, explains E. B. Gibbs, in Twentieth Century Farmer, an equal number of trays may be ar ranged so that all of the seed may be tested at one time and under the same conditions. The seed should be kept as near the temperature of the ground in which the crop is to be planted as possible. Where it is desired to plant the seed in soil a wooden crate can be made of thin lumber and filled level with soil and spaced off with the cord the same as the glass tray. All ears should be discarded that do not give six good sprouts under fair conditions, but if by testing you find a dozen bad ears it will be the best paying trouble you have had for some time, besides you can do the testing at odd times and it is worth more than the cost just to know that you have started the year's work right, and you can depend upon the seed when the time comes to plant. If you cannot figure out how it is going to pay, go on and test, and the extra corn in the crib next fall will show for itself. An other year save your corn from the field before frost and store it in the crates. DUSTLESS ROADWAYS. We Now Have the Luxury of Abso lutely Dujtless Roadways. A bulletin issued last July by the Kansas City park board makes the above statement. A year ago, during the summer months, the board had Its whole force of sprinkling wagons going every day in an attempt to keep down the dust which made the enjoy ment of the park drives impossible at times. In a few hours the hot summer sun dried the roads, and every pass ing motor car left clouds of fine rock dust to settle on the foliage along the drive. Now a motor car passing at the highest speed over any portion of the extensive boulevard system leaves no dusty trail in its wake. The oil has not only proved much more effective than water but it is a third cheaper and preserves the roadways as well, writes Roy A. Moore, in The World To-Day. One of the serious problems here, as in other cities, has been the preservation of the drives from the wear of the motor car wheels. The died boulevard is also protected from erosion. Formerly every rainstorm left ragged gullies which took several days to repair. The eye of the most inexperienced cor,ld see that some thing was needed to bind the mac-ad dam, to preserve a smooth surface without dust and prevent washouts at the same time. The net savings in the use of oil for the year was $5,- 635.88, or 14 per cent. Hardy Fruits.

Eczema Lasted 7 Years—Face Was All Raw—Skin Specialists Failed, But Cuticura Effected Cure. "When my little boy was six weeks old an eruption broke out on his face. I took him to a doctor, but his face kept on getting worse until it got so bad that no one could look at him. His whole face was one crust and must have been very painful. He scratched day and night until his face was raw. Then I took him to all the best specialists in skin diseases but they could not do much for him. The eczema got on his arms and legs and we could not get a night's sleep in months. I got a set of Cuticura Reme dies and he felt relieved the first time 1 used them. I gave the Cuticura Remedies a good trial and gradually the eczema healed all up. He is now seven years old and I think the trou ble will never return. Airs. John G.

Speaking of counting the hairs of your head —suppose you undertook to count a billion, how long do you think it would take you to do it? A billion, according to the French notation, which we follow, is a thousand mil lions. If you had before you a pile of silver dollars containing a million, and could count one every second, for eight hours every day, it would ta&e you 35 days to complete the task. Hut suppose you undertook to count a thousand of those million-dollar piles —you would be at work eight hours a day for 35,000 days, or about 100 years. VERY O. T.

It is worth knowing that a change In food can cure dyspepsia. "I deem it my duty to let you know how Grape. Nuts food has cured me of indigestion. "I had been troubled with it for years, until last year my doctor recom mended Grape-Nuts food to be used every morning. I followed instruc tions and now I am entirely well. "The whole family like Grape-Nuts, we use four packages a week. You are welcome to use this testimonial as you see fit." The reason this lady was helped by the use of Grape-Nuts food, is that it Is predigested by natural processes and therefore does not tax the stom ach as the food she had been using; it also contains the elements required for building up the nervous system. If that part of the human body is in perfect working order, there can be no dyspepsia, for nervous energy repre sents the steam that drives the engine. When the nervous i-ystem is run down, the machinery of the body works badly. Grape-Nuts food can be used by small children as well as adults. It is perfectly cooked and ready for instant use.

A traveler returned from Jaffa tella tale at his own expense. Having Journeyed to the historical seaport on his way to Jerusalem, he succeeded in hiring a conveyance to carry him to the station. By speech and gesture he Informed the native driver that he wished to be carried in a leisurely, sightseeing fashion through as many as possible of the principal thorough fares of Jaffa, and to be delivered at the terminal just in time to take the outgoing train. He had no sooner seated himself In the vehicle, however, than the driver whipped up his horse and whirled the dismayed traveler at a furious pace through all the dust and over all the Btones of the notoriously rough streets of Jaffa. The passenger was too bus ily employed in saving his bones to be able to see anything of the interesting town. Arriving at the station, he found that he still had two hours to wait. "Why in the world," he demanded, Indignantly, "did you ever hurry like that?" "You American," responded the driver, with an expressive shrug. "All American like go very much fast."— Youth's Companion. You Would Not Accept Counterfeit Money, Why Accept Counterfeit Goods?

A farmer describes his method of clearing the premises of rats In the following manner: "On a large num ber of old shingles I put a half-tea spoonful of treacle each, and on that with my pocket knife I scraped a small amount of concentrated lye. I then placed the old shingles around under the stable floors and under the cribs. The next morning I found 40 dead rats, and the rest left the farm for parts unknown. I have cleared many farms of the pests in the same way, and have never known it to fail."

Evans, charged with getting food out of a mess chest outside of meal hours. This getting of food for night watches is a common and strong desire on the part of most men aboard ship. Capt. Evans asked the man what he had to say; and the man, sizing up the delicate situation, said: "Captain, I didn't take no food outer that chest. Why, captain, there weren't no food in that chest!

The time to complain about paint Is before the painter applies It. The man who puts up the money should not shirk the responsibility of choos ing the paint. True, the painter ought to know paint better than the banker, the professional man or the merchant. The trouble is, the house owner too often deliberately bars the competent and honest painter from the job by accepting a bid which he ought to know would make an honest job impossible.

Indeed, there can be no effectual catarrh remedy that is not also a tonic.
