Cut a round slice, and pres it on the lips pently. Allow the juice to stay on for a minute or so, and then, with a corner of the towel, wash your lips with water thit is moderately warm. Do this thre times a week and results will soon be forthcoming. By applying the slice-of-lemcn treatment to the gums they, too, can be made fresh and ruby-hke. Don't moisten your lips with your tongue, or bite them. If you do it means they will be spoiled. NUTS TO CRACK What letter is that which, though invisible, is never out of sieht?

BOYHOOD STORIES OF FAMOUS MEN Nathaniel Southgntc Shaler The band was playing its liveliest tune, and the soldiers were marching down the street behind it. "If I could just play a drum how happy I woyjd t,M sighed little Nathaniel as he wistfully watched the grand procession. Then one day his desire got the better of him. and, stick in hand, he hid behind the trunk of a large tree while around the parade ground the band began to march. Soon it was going right past Nathaniel. Quick as a flash he thrust out hl arm and managed to get in a stroke on the largest drum. The angry drummer whacked the boy over the head and knocked him dwn. but Nathaniel had played on the drum and he was happy Nathaniel Sou'thgate Shaler became a famous naturalist, poet and esfavist. the United States Troyer of Wabash county is the prko corn grower of the world. Mr. Troyer won sweepstakes prize for the best 10 ears in tne International Grain Show, carrying off the Board of Trade grand prize. Indiana growers also carried off the first prize awards for the best 10 ears of both white and yellow corn for the two most important corn regions for which prices ere offered separately. The uniformity of the exhibits of corn from Indiana was atriking. The work of the county agents and extension leaders is apparently beanu fruit, and what is more important, the corn which won the prizes, is the identical variety which has been winning the fWe acr production contests in the state. Their show corn i their highest yield ing corn. They have learned that in getting quality, they also get quantity. They declare that it is useless to look for show corn among thin, impoverished yields. Dors quality pay! It is estimated thai to improve the grade of corn now mar keted as No. 4 so that it would grad No. 3, would give to the corn groweri of America an additional ten million dollars. The same principle is also true of oatB, wheat and other gTains. The grand championship for a single ear was won by J. E. Mummert, Fultor Co., III., a portrait of which is present fvl herewith. TEST CORN SEED THIS SEASON IS EXPERT'S ÄDYICE Failure of Grain to Dry Properly Results in Low Vitality of Kernels. iiY i. noM)i:, rich! Director,' Agricultural Dojvirtmeat. International Harvester Co. The long growing season for corn " 19-0 caused the most of us to believe that the corn, when har vested, was fully matured, well dried out and in good condition for seed. But recent tests show that the corn did not dry thoroughly and it 1 L- likely that the vitality of much ; of the corn we. have saved for seed is low. I Vor this reason It is very important that every ear of seed corn should be tested before it is planted next spring. j Poor iK-ed is one of the chief i causes of a poor stand and a poor stand means a small yield. j There is nothing tlse that will do so much to increase the yield of corn on every farm a the makln of a germination test of six or eight kernals from each ear to be used as seed and discarding those ear? which show weak or sickly roots or fttm sprouts. The most common mistake is to conclude that we can , Judge the germinating power of seed corn by looking at it and that it does not netl testing. A few davs spent during March in selecting and tf sting our seid corn may b? worth more to us at i harvest time than a wohle year's j hard work. 1 Xcnl Healthy Seed. It is nothing more nor less than good business for us to know that the seed we put into the frround is healthy ed and that it will grow j And the only way ve can tell good i secd is by testing it.. j

STOCK RAISING IS PERILED IN SOUTH

"for the purpose of gettini? the live stock producers to give more attention to the Industry, and In the last few years there has been a surprising Increase In the number of packing plants. It is to h regretted, however, that they have not been aide to obtain the support of the railroads In the establishment of rates, rules and regulations for the transportation of live .stock that la essential to the growth and expansion of this important food product." The packers. In their complaint, charge that the railroads have grossly overcharged them for shipments of hogs and cattle, and Armour & Co. alono are seeking refunds of nearly $60,000. Mr. Manker stated that the damage sustained by Armour & Co. through the failure of the railroads to establish j reasonable rates is a sum so far in t e-xcess cf the amount of reparation ' asked for that it cannot be esti- j mated. ! One man In two days can test ! enough corn to plant 4 0 acres of j ground. Testing will not cost to j exceed 10 cents an acre. Yet, be- ; cauf-e it Is "too much bother" to j test corn, wc pick out 600 ears, look at them, guens that they will grow, ' and plant them. As a consequence, i more than 12 acres out of every 4 0 flanted to corn In the average corn belt state produce nothing. I Hy testing we get rid of the dead. ! weak, disease-Infected and mouldy j ears. Testing doers not hurt the! corn. It requires but little time and ; that at a sen son of the year when ! we have little to do. I5y testing we j have everything to gain and nothing J to loe. There are several methods of j testing corn but the limitation of ; this article will not permit of a description of any of them. Any eounty agent, any agricultural col- ; lege, or any good farmer will be 1 glad to tell his neighbor how to test seed corn. After the corn has been tested, sorted, shelled and graded for the planter and the bad kernels removed, it should be placed in halfbushol sacks and hung up Jn a dry place. We should put in a sack separate from the rent, the seed from the best 100 ears. When planting w should uo seed from the-sc "best ICO curs" on one side of the field and pick our seed corn from these rows next year. IJuy (rood Seed Down. I If we have no good seed corn ! we should buy from our neighbors or some one In the community. We should not Import feed corn from outFide our Immediate vicinity. Thousands of individual ear tests prove that home grown seed will yield on an average from eight to 20 bushels of corn more to the acre than will Imported seed. The be&t plan Is to grow our own seed and test every ear Intended for planting. Investigations conducted over a period of several years by various agricultural colleges and by the L. S. department of agriculture have yroven beyond doubt that rot diseases of the corn root, the stalk and the ear have been one of the chief causes of thin stands, of large numbers of weak and stunted plant; of stalks that are down, or leaning, or broken, or barrenness and nubbin; of chaffy. Immature ears; of reduced yields. It :s possible that rot diseases carry over from one year to another In the soil; it is certain they carry over in the seed, and one of thf best methods for the control of these rots is the selection of the dLsene-free seed ear.'. The germination test will help us In picking out these diseased ears. Keroals that are diseased may show good germination but the stem sprouts will be discolored pink or brown or some other shade that will readily show the experienced corn grower that something is the matter with them. In some instances a diseased seedling look apparently healthy, except that It has a small number of roots. Such kernals should be picked open with a knife to see if they are rotted or moldy on the Inside. The safest rule is: Dis-eard every ; ?;4-r that look suspicious ...
