The little boy's mother asks him if he took it. Thr little boy's father (being a lawyer) ob jects. "That is highly improper and prejudicial to the defend ant," he says. "An accused person." he continues, "must not be asked to incriminate himself. If sonny voluntarily tells that he took the jam, well and good although even then it might be more proper to reject his admission and put him on trail. If he refuses to Nay anything that must not raise an inference against him." "But," says the little boy's mother, "sonny is the one that knows the most about it. He is the only one that knows about it directly. However, here's the jam pot, and nobody else has been in the room and sonny has jam on his fingers—" "Hold on, I object." says sonny's father, being a lawyer. "Circumstantial evidence is to be taken with the greatest caution If there is a reasonable doubt in your mind you can't convict. And, besides, where's ^onnv's counsel. We demand a jury trial. Has there been any motion for a change of venue filed in this case? What about a continuance? The judge is prejudiced—" "Oh, there's no sense in all that," says the boy's mother. "But there's law in it. And the law is the accumulated wis dom of ages. The English common law is the greatest institution in the world. It's the pride of the Anglo-Saxon race.

A PEW RULES IN THE MANLY ART OF SELF DEFENSE By observing the following six rules any boy of twelve can easily protect himself from the attacks of a'full grown man. However, the boy should not try it on his father: 1. As your opponent makes for you, step quickly under his arm, and, stopping, grasp his left ankle with both hands, fingers interlocked. Rise smartly, and with a circular motion throw him over your right shoulder. 2. Enraged, your adversary will reach for you with his right hand. Step lightly aside, and, as his arm passes you, strike it sharply with your fist. This will dislocate his shoulder and cause a compound fracture of his left floating rib. 3. Your antagonist will now reach' for you with his left hand. Take two rapid steps backward and kick his open palm, at the base of the thumb, upwards. This will dislocate lus knee-cap and cause a compound fracture of one of his large toes. 4. Your mortified foe will attempt to kick you. Catch his foot in your left hand and gently twist his leg off at the Knee. 5. Your enemy will make an effort ID Jrick you with his other foot. Step quickly behind him and butt him in the small of the back with your head. Properly administered, tliis blow should break and dislocate every vertebrae in his spinal column. 6. The last attempt your adversary will make will be t'o bite you. As he opens his mouth, place your left hand on his forehead, and thrusting your right hand down his throat, and with a long, strong'pull, turn his system inside out. This trick is somewhat dangerous and should only be tried by an expert, as otherwise your opponent may be painfully injured. It should never be tried on policemen while in the discharge of their duties as it may necessitate the appointment of another officer to take plf*"" for a rlpv or twfv iin j, Pi Ss^c Vffm CORN BREEDING ON THE PARM One of the ways by which we may increase the yield and quality of the corn grown in the county is by start ing quite a number of breeding blocks for corn all over the country. In or der to do this and to have something quite good to start with it will he nec essary to save out about fifteen of the strongest germinating ears that you have on the place and you have a good starting point. Now these ears may look almost exactly alike, they may show up equally well in the test er but when you come to try them out in the field there will be a mark ed difference in the yielding qualities as well as other desirable characters In the corn crop. If you have an iso lated field of about an acre in area this would be a fine place for the block unless It is too low or has some other draw back. If you do not have this isolated plot you might plant the best ears on one side of your field. The south or west sides would be pre ferable to the north or east because of the dlreotion of the prevailing winds during the summer months ind especially at the time that the corn silking and shedding its pollen. An ear of corn containing 600 kernels will plant about 200 hills if the drop were perfect, but as a general thing it is best to figure on about an ear to plant a row about 40 rods long. The width of the patch will depend entirely on the number of rows you desire to plant and on the width of your planter. The seed bed for the breeding block should be well prepared. The time for planting is about the 10th to the 20th of May, preference being glvei the earlier date. When you are ready to begin planting take your ears to be used out to the field and shell off the butt and tip kernels, they being irregular in Bhape and will not drop the right number of kernels to the hill and for that and other reasons you will not want to ti|e them. Shell one of the ears into one of the planter boxes and the next one into the other box, take a couple of ears with you to the other end of the field as you will want to plant the two next rows in the same way only from different ears. When you come to the end of the field each box should be emptied and the planter tripped by hand in order to make sure that all of the corn is out and that each row will be planted from Only one ear. Continue until the block is finished. This may be cared for as far as cul tivation goes like the rest of the field. Of course you will want to give It every possible chance, as all other things being equal, here is where your best seed corn will be found next fall. And to make sure that this will be the case, during the summer months you will want to detassel every bther row there by producing crossbred seed corn and in all cases where this has been done the yield has always shown up in favor of the crossbred corn. During the fall when you come to save out your seed corn you will want to save it from the detasseled rows as they iyill not be inbred. Some of the thngs that you will want to watch during the summer are these. All the ears may have grown in the same fleid the year before and yet when you come to husk the corn there Is very likely to be a big difference in the yeilding qualities of adjoining detas seled rows, one may bo a whole lot better matured than the others, one may have a larger number of weak and barren stalks than the rest, some rows might have the ears too high on the stalk, one may be smutted a whole lot more than the adjoining rows. In fact yon may look for a large number of things that will be of Interest t.o you and to the boys be cause after some years we will be growing our own seed and selling a lot of it to others. I am not a proph et nor a son of a prophet but show me a. spot or place where the boys have been encouraged in the growing of corn like they are right here in Codington county and I'll show you a lot of good corn In that particular neighborhood. If you want some detailed instruc tions as to the handling of the corn crop, tell us where you live and we will want to meet you and be of any assistance to you that we can. We would like to see one or two fanners try to produce some first generation hybrid seed corn. That's another article as long as this and 'we had better bring this to a: closc. Better plow this |and deep this spring and then next spring sow some alfilfa oa it. It will make a mights good place to start the alfalfa and you would be benefitting yourself, your land and the community. Then after some years when you come to plow It up you will wonder how you ever got along without it. If you havt a piece of land that has been in clover for a couple of years or so it would maka s.VJdeal soil for the corn srrouud, Bnt It's, no use «$tlng about ideal soli „as we have tb i^se what we have and for general purposes we don't know of a spot that will beat You will want to enter the brewing block In the acre yield contest The chances are that before the acre- yoBd contest is all judged we will hate some frost, and then if your breeding block is away front the twenty .acre field it will not be eigible to entry. But we know that the value that will be derived from these breeding blocks will be of a permanent nature because of the better corn that will be ob tained and the added interest that #111 be taken in the king of all cereal crops—Corn. We have some sugar beet seed to distribute. If you want to try some of it this season you would confer a favor 6n us. Drop us a line and we will send you the seed. It ought to be planted as soon as possible. Next fall we will want to have some of the beets analyzed and for that reason we will want to receive about half a dos en beets from each one who grows any. The rest of them you may use for your stock or chickens. They make mighty fine feed and are relish ed by the cattle on the place. Scabby potatoes sown this spring are a sure sign that yOu will harvest scabby potatoes next fall, or if clean potatoes are planted on ground where scabby potatoes were grown last sea son the same results will be had. treat you potatoes for scab and then plant them in ground free from scab and the scab will be a thing unknown to your crop of potatoes.
