It is quite evident that more of the farmers have seen the necessity of taking more care of their seedjeorn. For the past few years the stand of corn has been poor because of carelessness on the part of the farmer in selecting and caring for his seed corn and because of cold, wet weather at planting time. This year tbe weather has been very favorable and the stand of corn is almost perfect. From the Argaa. A. Dussell, the heating man of Co lnmbus, came up Wednesday tojook after some contracts here.

To all the., questions of his in quisltve neighbors he would make no replies until he had completed the ex cavation to his satisfaction. Then, to the first person who chanced to ask the purpose of the work, the old man answered proudly: " 'Well, I'll tell ye.

Ossssrt Requisite in No Way Hard to Prepare and Housewife May Rest Assursd She Has the Genu. ine Article. Vanilla pods, or beans, as they are popularly called, as found in the shops, look like dark brown,-narrow, flexible strips, from three to eight Inches in length, flattened and hooked at tbe stem end. The surface is furrowed lengthwise during the process of curing, and is often covered with tiny crystals. Within are innumerable minute, shin ing, bead-like black seeds, imbedded in an aromatic sticky pulp. Much of the commercial extract is adulterated with the Tonka bean, which belongs to the same family, but Is not nearly so deli cate. The cheapest "bargain" extracts are made entirely from the Tonka bean. It has been said that in most cases where poisoning has taken place after eating Ice cream, cheap vanilla has been the flavor employed. Where the pure arti cle is prepared at home there is never any danger. The vanilla plant Is ..n orchid and ihe only one whose fruit has a com mercial value. Another way of preparing the flavor ing Is to split four beans and clip in bits with scissors. Put seeds,. husks and all Into a bottle, pour over them one pint of brandy or whisky, cork tightly, shaking frequently for the first four -or five weeks. Vanilla Sugar for Flavoring. An other excellent way to utilize the pods for flavoring is this: Cut -one ounce of tbe Mexican vanilla beans into very small pieces, using shear.; or a knife. Add one ounce grain alcohol, macerate for 30 minutes, then add two ounces sugar of milk. Break up seven ounces rock candy crystals with a hammer, first wrapping a cloth around it. and add to the other Ingredients. Add also two pounds powdered sugar. When thoroughly mixed put Into a well stoppered bottle. This is unequaled for purity and flavor. Lemon Extract. Before cutting the lemons to extract the juice, scrub well, rinse and wipe with a soft cloth. Then grate off all the delicate yellow skin. taking c re that none o: the white part of the rind goes in, as this will give a bitter taste. Pack a small bot tle full of these yellow shavings, cover with pure grain alcohol and set away for three weeks. At the end of that time strain and 'bottle. Lemon Sugar. Place the grated yel low rind of lemons In a wide-mouthed bottle and cover thickly with granu lated sugar. Keep the bottle tightly corked. The sugar becomes saturated with the oil from the peel and wLen used imparts a delicious flavor. Superstition in Japan. Says the Kobe Herald: "A man named Oshlta Matsusaku, living at Yamano-mura, Shinzaki, has been ill since September last with a malady which failed to yield to ordinary treat ment. During tbe present month bis wife got Into the hands of two pro fessional exorcists, who persuaded her that her husband's trouble was due to the spirits of a fox and a badger, which were tormenting the unfortun ate man. Having been allowed to take charge of the case, the two men built up an enormous charcoal fire, to which for six days they exposed the patient on the pretext of driving out the evil spirits. In addition, they poured boiling water over the sick man's, back. The natural result was that the unhappy man's body became covered with burns and he is now in such a critical condition that it is not expected that he will recover. Not a Crocs-Breed. "Is that your dog, John?" queried the mistress with a smiling glance at the strange mongrel that hid behind the coachman's heels. "No. ma'am," replied John, "he just come in this morning, and I haven't got the heart to drive him away." "He looks like a cross-breed, doesn't he?" returned the lady. "Oh, no, ma'am," was the assuring rejoinder of John, "he isn't a cross breed. He is a cheerful breed. He has done nothing but hang around and act happy ever since he came in." Home Magazine.
