Complete Hall of History. Contracts will be let within the next thirty days for the interior fin ishing of the State Historical build ing, for which the legislature approp riated $30,000 last winter. At a meet ing of the executive council Secretary A. H. Davidson was instructed to ask Architect O. O. Smith of Des Moines to be present at the next meeting, when plans for finishing the building will be examined and steps taken to ward asking for bids. Mr. Smith com pleted his plans for wainscoating, stairways and other decorative de tails several years ago and these will be adhered to In spending the $30, 000 at the disposal of the council. The historical building is one of the handsomest in the state, but the in terior now presents a crude and un finished appearance, with temporary wooden stairways and rough plaster ed walls. Des Moines Near the Top. Des Moines ranks fourth in the list of fifty-seven of the largest cities in the United States in the percentage of increase in building and construc tion work for the last month ever the corresponding month last year. The increase in construction work in this city las month was 218 per cent great er than in May last year. Newark is first with 499 per cent, Toledo second with 274 per cent and Omaha third with 246 per cent. Widow Is Administrator.

Red Outlaw at Head of Troublesome Band in Canda. Prince Rupert, B. C., June 22.— Passengers arriving from Hazelton re port that the Kishoux Indians in the outlying districts there are giving the whites much trouble. The Indians consider that the new settlers are taking lands that really belong to the Indians Instead of the Dominion government, and under the leadership of "Big Frank," who re cently escaped from Jail, they have retired beyond the Kishoux river. The have served notice on the whites that they must not cross the stream, and whites living on the Skee ra ri»ar have been driven away, by braves armed with rifles. BEEF PRICES RAISED. Scarcity of Cattle and Cost of Corn are Given as Causes. New York, June 23.—The beef trust has again ordered the price of their product raised. Fourteen cents a lb. for pot roast to 28 cents for porter house and sirloin steaks is the price. Thirty cents will be demanded for the latter cuts in a few days, while aver age beef will cost the dealer- 10% cents a pound, as against the hitherto prevailing price of 10 cents. The high price of corn and the scarcity of cattle are the reasons assigned by the trust for the increase In prices. Man Drowns While Bathing.

MiUa On the Farm VI.—Seed Corn Breeding By C. V. GREGORY. Author of "Home Course In Modern Agriculture" Copyright. 1909. by American Press Association. IN the preceding articles Improved methods of growing a few of the most widely grown farm crops have been given. By study and careful attention to details it Is pos sible for 11 farmer to make a good profit raising common produce for the general murket Much greater re turns, however, may be obtained by specializing in some particular line and selling the products on a special market One of the most profitable special lines that can be followed Is breeding Improved seed corn. This Is some- FIO. XI—GOOD TYPE OF KERN Bit. thing that must be done for every lo cality, since com shipped iu from any distance cannot be relied on. It Is entirely possible to increase the yield ing ability of a strain of corn ten bushels to the acre or more by ti very few years' breeding. Seed from such an Improved strain will find a ready market at satisfactory figures. Selection of Ears. In starting out to improve a strain of corn there ure two main points to be considered—yield and quality. The quality can be determined readily by inspecting the ears. In examining the ears the following five points are to be looked for: (1) General appearance. The ear should be as large as It can be and still be sure to get ripe every year, it should be straight, symmet rical aud not taper too abruptly. The butts and tips should be fairly well filled, though other more important points should not be sacrificed for this. (2) Trueness to type. Every establish ed breed of corn has Its peculiarities of shape, color, etc., that must be consid ered. The general type of the breed should be adhered to closely, as uni formity is an indication of breeding. (3) Maturity. No ear should be used for seed that Is not sound and well matured. Soft, chaffy, starchy ker nels or those shrunken at the tip, with chaff adhering to them, are Indications of immaturity. Deep kernels go with late maturing corn. Extreme depth of kernel cannot be expected in the early varieties that must be grown in the north. (4) Vitality. While all corn should be tested before It Is planted, yet there are many ears that can be thrown out without the trouble of test ing. Immature ears are usually tack ing in vitality. If the kernels are ollstered on the back or the embryo Is dark or yellowish the chances are that it will not grow. (6) Shelling percent age. A high percentage of corn to cob is desirable, but should be secured by compact, fairly deep kernels rather than by an abnormally small cob. Increasing the Yield. While quality is important, yield Is even more so. This is not so easily determined, actual field tests being re quired. Before starting these tests the breed of corn to be grown should be selected, It pays to begin work with the best corn obtainable, as you are thus starting where some one else has left off. A breed of corn that has proved Itself adapted to your locality Is the best to select. There are almost as many methods of breeding seed corn as there are corn breeders. Many of these are too com plicated to be adapted to the farmer who Is Just starting In as a corn breeder. After a few years' experi ence with a simpler method, some of the plans for keeping a record of each ear from year to year and producing "pedigreed" seed corn may bo em ployed. The breeding plot should be 600 to QOO feet long—just long enough so that It takes an ear to plant a row. It should be wide enough for about fifty of these rows. The soli and drainage conditions of the plot should be as nearly uniform as possible. It should oe located twenty to forty rods from any other corn, so that there will be no danger of mixing. Fifty of the best ears of the desired strain should be selected and shelled separately. Each of tbe rows In the breeding plot Is to be planted with one of these earn. Tbe work can be done with a planter If care is taken to clean out tbe boxes thoroughly each time across. It Is better to drill tbe corn in the breed ing plot since It is too narrow to cul tivate to advantage crosswise. Two or three border rows should be planted around tbe edges of the plot Care of the Breeding Plot. The breeding plot should not be fer tilized any better than any of the oth er fields on the farm, and the prepara tion of the seed bed and cultivation should be tbe same. Tbe prime ob ject is to develop strain of corn that will yield well under average field con ditions. The extra work that is put on T" ,'awjWU1" »t Wl1 1 W".i 1 The most Important part of the work is detasseling. When the tassels begin to appear go through the plot and carefully pull tbeni out frotn every other row. This should be done every day for a week or more—as long its tassels continue to appear. At the same time any Imperfect stalks in the other rows should be detasseled. If there are any rows that show a mark ed tendency to sucker, curry the ears too high or low or have any other marked defect, they should be dctus seled also. Comparing the Yields. As soon as the corn Is all ripe the ears from the twenty-live detnsseled rows should be husked, keeping the produce of ench row separate. The coru from the tasseled rows, as well us from the Imperfect rows that were de tasseled and from the border rows, should bo discarded. At the time of husking the detasseled corn any pe culiarity of the stalks In a row should be noted. The number of stalks in each row should also be counted. Tbe weight of the corn from a row divided by the number of stalks In that row will give the weight per stalk, which is the proper basis for comparison. It will be found that there Is a very great difference in yielding nbllity, some rows yielding twice or three times as much as others. This yield, togeth er with the number of good seed ears to the row, forms the basis for determining from which row to Belect ears to plant next year's breeding plot The rest of the ears worth saving should be stored away to plnnt in the increase field. The increase field is not for the pur pose of Improving the corn, but merely to secure larger quantities of that which has been Improved in the breed ing plot. Each year seed from the highest quality and best yielding of the Individual rows Is saved to plant the next year's breeding plot nnd the remainder used In the Increase field. In this way the standard keeps Im proving from year to year. Ten bush els to the acre' Increase is by no means the limit to which the improvement can be carried. Indeed, almost the only limit is the care and time be stowed upon the breeding plot. The Seed Corn House. Where several hundred bushels of corn are to be saved for seed, as Is the case where a specialty is being made of well bred seed corn, it is nec essary to have some sort of special seed corn house. This may be filled with slatted racks, on which the corc is laid, or the ears may be bung from the ceiling with binder twine. Tbe latter Is the better method, as It per mits a more thorough circulation ol air around the corn. The use of two PIQ. xn—OOOD BILL OP conn, strings, one at each end of the ear, keeps It from warping, as it will warp If tied by one string In the middle. One of the chief requirements of seed corn house Is adequate ventlla |tlon. In the northern section where (severe cold weather comes early some artificial heat will be needed. The corn may be bung In the seed house as soon as It is gathered. At this time It contains a large amount of moisture, so the windows should nil be opened to allow it to dry rapidly. Artificial heat should be applied gradually at first, as too much when the corn is full of moisture will Injure It. After the corn Is well dried out less ventlln tlon will be needed, though some should be given at all times. Heat will be needed from this time on only on very cold or damp days. A Thrilling Rescue. How Bert R. Lean, of Cheney, Wash, was saved from a frightful death is a story to thrill the world, "A hard cold," he writes, "brought on a desperate lung trouble that battled an expert doc tor here. Then I paid $10 to $15 a visit to a lung specialist in Spokane, who did not help me. Then I went, to Cali fornia, but without benefit. At last I used Dr. King's New Discovery, which completely cured me and now I am as well as ever."

It Is not uncommon for the Red Ipath-Vawter System to bring the best of whatever it attempts to furnish Its patrons will come to a pretty unam lmous agreement as to the quality ol the talent furnished them, but it la noticeable even for this System and a matter ol much pride and congratu lation to Us management to be able to announce the Royal English Hand bell Orchestra, not only of the best, but acknowledgedly unique and utter ly without rivals. This magnificent company of handbell ringers Is beyond competition. They have won world's championships so invariably and with such ease that none are willing to compete with them for premiership When the Royal English Handbell Ringers appear Redpath-Vawter pa itrons may congratulate themselves that they have seen the highest class entertainment of its kind in the world. There is as much difference in hand bell ringing as between the greatest violin virtuoso and the barefoot boy with a mouth organ. The Royal Eng lish play the moat difficult classical selections as well as the popular airs of the street. The intermezzo from Cavaleria Rustlcana, the march from Tannhauser, Verdi's operas, selections from Beethoven are rendered with ef fect and in harmony and com plete time. It is a new effect in mu sical rendition and holds the aswnm blage as by an Incantation. The program Includes some vocal numbers. Among other features, a soloist sin '8 to bell accompaniment. Lyceum goers will remember the furore caused by the Almon-Per»y Bell ringers, who appeared seven years ago. The management of tne Chautauqua system assures its clien tele that the Royal English is a much better company, with such a wider range of repertoire and accom plishment, that those who heard the Almon-Perrys will find this greater at traction an entirely new d'elight. Eight men comprise the coftipany which has won the English handbell ringing contest for the oast five suc cessive years. They carry a new peal of 171 bells and have specially pre pared for their American trip in vari ous ways. The Rednath-Vawter System is Just ly proud of this great organization, caught in the dragnet which the Sys tem throws across two worlds In Its search for the new, novel and enter taining.
