Clevenger at Crystal Springs, in honor of Francena Whitfield's sixteenth birthday. The evening was stormy and it was not pleasant to travel, but a number of her friends met at her home and spent the evening very pleasantly. Those present were Edith, Orpba, Belle and Blanche Mellott; Irene Pee, Annie Whit field, Mamie Lynch, Mary Rohm, Minnie Lynch, Sadie and Lyda Barton, Mary Clevenger, Clara Iva Uixson, Francena Whitfield, Jtussel and Ross Layton; Ross Lloyd and John Mellott; Cart Kohm, Marshal and Gorman Lynch, Will Clevenger, Bruce Barton, Clad Bequeth, David Whittield, Mr. and Mrs. W. S. Clevenger and Mr. and Mrs. Oliver Clevenger. Miss Francena received many useful presents. All enjoyed themselves in a social way, wish ing her manj more birthdays. A FlUKNl). WHICH EARS TO PLAIN r. r'mm lledfoifl (lunette. For the ti-n yearn ending la l!Ki." the average yield per acre for corn land, as reported by the United States De partment of Agriculture, was as fol lows: Maine. 33. 1.1 bushels; Pennsyl vania, 34.62 tusels; Illinois, .14 40 bushels; Iowa, 32.41 bushels. These compiled statistics would seem to ex plode the theory thut soil and climatic conditions are unfavorable to high corn yields here. Maine, with a much shorter sea-ion, outyields Pennsylva nia, which in turn outyields the two great states of the West. To get closer to the question. One farmer, with equally good soil, raises 50 bushels of ears: his neighbor raises 1(0. Of course some of this difference may be accounted for by the methods of funning but, In a broad, general sense, this wide difference is all in the seed. The inherited quality of corn to yield heavily or poorly all comes In the the pounds, more or less, of seed planted. Experiments conducted by the Iowa Agricultural College with over KM) va rieties of seed corn furnished by the farmers closo to Ames, la., resulting in productions ranging from 20 bush els of shellud corn to almost 100 bush els per acre. As said in the report on this result. "The exuense of grow ing an acre was the same; the best seed produced fully four times as much corn, of better quality, than did the other lots of Inferior corn." In a former article I have called at tention to the difference In vield of larger eared corn as compared with smaller, that is, of corn with a larger circumference ot ear. An easier way to get at the question, in selecting seed corn, Is the comparative weight of the seed ears. Corn planted .1x4 feet, (or, if drilled, rows 4 feet and corn 1 foot apart in drill) makes at 2 stalks to hill, 7,200 stalks, ut 1 stalks, 10,810 stalks. The following figures show the ex tra nushels of 70 pounds per acre, re sulting from an average extra weight, as follows: Extra Weight 2 Stalks .1 Stalks i oz. per ear .1.2 bus. 4.0 bus. 1 oz per ear 6.5 bus. 9.7 bus. 2 oz. per ear 13 0 bus. 1!) 4 bus. I have before me at this time three ears of different kinds, but all ot equal length, of good form, and well dried. The smallest is 0 inches in circumference, the largest and heav iest 7J inches. Their weight is as fol lows: Smallest 12 5 oz., medium 13 oz., largest 17 oz. There Is a maxi mum field difference of 4.1 7 bushels of 70 pounds per acre. Practically they represent, In addition, a high-grade feeding corn, showing breeding in every line, as against a corn that faulted badly In the field and yield ed only 45 bushels of ears per acre of Inferior corn on good corn ground, while the better corn is from Btock with a pedigreed record of 119 8 bush els of shelled corn per acre. This lat ter corn has been tried out here und is a safe corn to plant: so are a num ber of other strains that have been bred carefully for years. But, about that neighbor whose yield is so much better thun yours. If you do not want to start a brand new strain of pure-bred corn, why not get some seed from the neighbor and test It out? Or, maybe there is someone further off who has a corn that has been making records. Why not get some of his corn? But do not forget to weigh the ears. And If the differ ence In feeding value, weight, etc., is In favor of the neighbor's corn, be thankful that you have such a neigh bor, get some of his seed, test It, and then plant it. It would be much better to start pure-bred corn and cut the cross-breeds out they are a bad lot, and there are few fields that show on the face an undisturbed percentage Suppose the new corn costs you 2.50 a bushel. That means that the extra cost for eight acres of corn planted Is about 22 cents per acre. A n increase of less that a bushel of ears will more than pay back this cost and leave you supplied with a better strain of corn for years to come. The one thing on the farm that must not be subjected to the rigid rule of economy is seed. Better seed means better crops; scrub seed means trouble, d is appointment, and loss of money. A. B. Ross.

The direct vote for United States Senator has triumphed in Oregon under conditions which subjected it to the severest strain. A majority of the people names George E Chamberlain, a Demo crat, for United States Senator, and at the same time chose a Legislature almost unanimously Republican, but containing a ma jority of members, pledged 10 ratify the popular choice for Sen ator. Sines that election Oregon voted for President and gave Taft 24.000 plurality. Ttie argu- ment that Oregon had shown it self clearly to be Republican and ought to elect a Republican Sen ator was a strong one, but the pledges held, good faith was maintained and the Republican Legislature did as the members had promised and in obedience to the instructions of the people, elected a Demccratic Senator from a Republican State. This Democratic gain is offset by a Republican gain in Ken tucky, through the election of William O. Bradley in the place of Senator McCreary, by a Leg islature having a Democratic ma jority, bat 'vhich was hopelessly divided on factional lines. The Democrats make one net gain by the election of B. F. Shively in place of Senator Hemenway. Besides Chamberlain, Bradley and Shively there will be other new faces in the Senate, some al ready well known to the country and others with their spurs yet to win on the National field. The most prominent and im portant of these is Elihu Root, who takes the place of Thomas C. Piatt, of New York. Another notable change is Theodore E. Burton in place of Joseph B. Foraker, of Ohio. Henry M. Tel ler, the Nestor of the Senate, re tires at the age of 78 without be traying any evidence of failing power. He entered the Senate in 1877, but his service was bro ken by three years in President Arthur's Cabinet as Secretary of the Interior. Since Senator All ison's death he has been the sen lor Senator in reality, but his con tinuous service dates only from the time he re-entered the Senate. in 1885, so that several Senators rank as his seniors. Mr. Teller will be succeeded on March 4 by Charles G. Hughes, Jr., a Demo cratic lawyer, of Denver, whose fame has not yet extended be yond the bounds of Colorado. - Oa March 4 next Senator Kit- tradge, from South Dakota, will give place to C. 1. Crawford, Uansbrough, of North Dakota, to M. N. Johnson; Aukeny, of Wash ington, to Wesley L. Jones, and Long, of Kansas, to Joseph L. Bristow. These are all Republi cans and Hansbrougb is the only one who can be rated as an old Senator, he having come to the Senate in 1891, just two years after his State became a member of the Union. The fate of one Republican Senator, Hopkins, of Illinois, is still hanging in the balance. Senator Cum mings, of Iowa, who was chosen to fill Sen ator Allison's unexpired term, also succeeds to the full term, ending 1915. The Senate lost in the two years past by death or resigna tion, Senators Spooner, Allison, Whyte, Proctor, Latimer, Mai lory, Morgan, Pettus and Bate, and will lose shortly Senator Knox, who will be President Taft's Secretary of State. All these changes bring into the Sen ate an unusual number of new men. Many of these men have been brought to the front as the resnlt of the direct vote, and are believed to be somewhat antag onistic to the conservative spirit of the present Senate. It is prob able that LaFolhtte, of Wiscon sin, will have more Senators vot li g with him in the next session than he has been able to rally heretofore. v Hale, Frye, Aldrich, Cullom, Galilnger, Lodge and Burrows remain 10 the Senate and at the head of the most important com mlttees. Unless the new element is able and willing to displace these Senators from their well established positions of influence and power in the Senate, that body will not greatly depart from the conservative spirit and de liberate action which have char acterized It in the years past THE WILD ANIMAL MAKKET. Giraffes and Hippopoaml Bring the Highest Prices. Wild animals from the Glzeh Zoo logical Gat dens In Egypt delivered during the years 180(1 -190H at London, Marseills, Hamburg and Rotterdam realized the following prices: The "king of beasts," the lion, Bold comparatively cheap, mainly because the cost of feeding made buyers shy of the Investment. Fine wild born lions realized from 1.100 to $.'K)0. Menagerie born animals cost on an average 9"0. A lioness has even sold for under $20; while, on the other hand, tl.L'iH) to 91,400 is not too big a price to ask for an exceptionally tine specimen of lion. Pumas occasionally described as lions are not In such demand; 1'5 will often buy one; fair average speci mens fetch !0, iino, and a few 12ti. The tiger Is, however, a high priced animal; &500 Is the lowest figure at which he sells, with $100 for a tigress. A specialty of value, according to Harper's Weekly, Is the European lynx. A young one cannot be had for less than $100, and the full grown ani mal is worth from $120 to $170 Wolves are a weak market; $10 is their aver age per head, $4 the minimum, and $20 the tcp price Catch a fox quite young and the cnb may realize $4, $2 or only just $1; full grown, its value is $10. Polar bears always maintain their price. Very rarely does a specimen change hands at less than $120: but other kinds of bear come cheaper. A sea lion costs $H3. The heaver is good for $00, a price due to the ani mal's destruction for. bounty in the Rhone Valley. Hippopotami have no quotation In some markets. When in supply this prehistoric looking beast is worth $4,400 to f3,0 0. Elephants are much more widely dealt to. A young one may be purchased for from $1,000 to $1,000. But most considered of wild animals is the giraffe. Previous to 1H0H it was impossible to buy one for less than $5,000; in 1003-04 the price had shrunk to $1,1100, which did not repay the cost of importation. The actual market value of a young gira!fe in good con dition may now be quoted at anywhere from $2,000 to $2,4o0. As to the monkey market, the chim panzee varies a good deal In price, a young one in good condition fetching from 2o0 to $400. Other big upes are more expensive, although ut times there goes begging a good chance, as In the Suez market, where a young orang-outang almost full grown was on offer at $30 recently a real bargain. Barbary apes, of the kind which still inhabit Gibraltar rock, sell at $10 to $30, Bombay and Southwest China monkeys are not held of much account. Four dollars will buy one. Baboons cost much more generally from $10 to $100, according to the specimen. Mrs. S. II Campbell, of IIolli daysburg, ts visiting ber sister, Mrs. B. W. Peck. Birthday Surprise. Miss Mabelle Truax was re minded on January 19th that she 'jad reachel another milestone in life her 19th birthday.

You need a sufficient amount of good wholesome food and more than this you need to fully digest It. Else you can't gain strength, nor can you strengthen your stomach If It Is weak.' You must eat In order to live and maintain strength. You must not diet, because the body requires that you eat a sufllc lent amount' of food regularly. But this food must be digested, and it must be digested thoroughly. When the stomach can't do It, you must take something that will help the stomach. The proper way to do Is to eat what you want, and let Kodol di gest the food. Uothlng else can do this. When the stomach Is weak It needs help; you must help It by giving It rest, and Kodol will do that.
