Thea startle** statement was made by a
doctor at a recent inquest. "I should not

as this would imply," said the expert,
"but I am sure that the number of parsons

work on the verge of death, and yet do not
know it. It is only when the shook cornea

"But undoubtedly heart weaknoes, not
disease, is mese prevalent nowadays. I
should think that the stress of living, the
wear and rush of modem business life,
have a lot to do with heart trouble."
There is no doubt but that this is oorreot,
and we would strongly advise any one
Offering in any way from heart trouble to
try a course of MMLBURN'S HEART

Yon can eat anything your stomach
craves without fear of a case of Indi-
gestion or Dyspepsia, or that your
food will ferment or sour on your

Your meals will taste good, and
anything you eat will be digested;
nothing can ferment or turn into acid
or poison or stomach gas, whioh causes
Belching, dizziness, a feeling of fullness

Headaches from the stomaoh are

does all the work of a healthy stomaoh.
It digests your meals when your stom-
ach can't. Each triangnle will digest
all the food yon can eat and leave no-
thing to ferment or sour.
Get a large 50•oent Daae of Pape's

GOOD SEED CORN.
Selecting it a Matter of Care and In-
telligence.
In order to secure the largest possible
yields of corn, including grain and fod-
der, the grower must carefully and in-
telligently select, cure, test and grade
his seed corn. It es true that many
farmers obtain their seed corn from
the crib in the spring and secure what
appear to be good stands and reason -

ably good crops. This does not mean,
however, that the stand might not
have been made better and the crop
larger had these same farmers given
more care to the selection, storing and
treatment of their seed corn.
The condition of corn in the spring
of 1908 that had stood during the win-,
ter in shock or crib emphasizes in a
striking way the risks that are run in
using seed that has not been properly
saved. Of a large number of ears test-
ed at the Michigan Agricultural col-
lege for vitality those selected from
the shock invariably produced an ex-
ceedingly low number of germinations.
More than 50 per cent of the ears pro-
duced no germination whatever, and
of those that did show vitality it was
rare that 100 per cent of the kernels
germinated. The conditions under
which corn passed the winter were ex-
ceedingly bad, but even with the best
conditions there are influences, such as
freezing, molding and the like, which
of necessity tend to reduce the vitality.
of the corn.
The ear should be selected while it
still remains on the standing stalk.
The stalk should be of good size, with
considerable foliage. The position of
the ear should be considered. If too
low it is apt to mature late. It is the
opinion of the college experimenters
that increased yields are secured by
the judicious selection of seed from
stalks bearing two ears. The ideal ear
should be cylindrical, not tapering. Ex-
perience teaches that rough top kernels
are best. `!
The selected ears should be placed
where they will dry in the shortest
reasonable time, and various methods
have been employed for this purpose.
There is no better method from the
standpoint of efficiency than the old
one of braiding the ears together by
the husks left upon them or tying
them in lots by strings and hanging in
the summer kitchen or in the attic
above near the stovepipe.. This, how-
ever, requires considerable room and
is not altogether satisfactory to the
workers in the kitchen. A furnace

room is a good place, provided it ie
well ventilated and an occasional fire
is built. Frequently the corn is left in
crates, and, while this is usually a sue-
+Mressful method, there is more or less
danger from molding. Corn so stored
should be watched carefully until itl
is known to be thoroughly dry.

used at the college for storing and dry-
ing seed corn. It is twelve feet long
and ten feet in height, with a capacity
for thirty bushels of ears. The posts
are 2 by 4 inch hemlock and stand
four feet bpart. They are set in pairs
four Inches apart, each pair carrying
a tier of corn. Sixpenny nails should
be used in nailing on the ntrlpe.
