are wen nllea Will chaflocR and aust. When
farmers pay S75o bushol for oats tor seed,
that arc worth Tor market from forty to hfty
cents, common honesty would dictate that they
be absolutely free from foul seed, At least that
which Is az Pefn'c1ous As charlock.
| AT the country warehouses it is not uncona-
mon to see them make No. sp1sng wheat out
OF NO. and rejected, u running 1t through q
| good fouIlnE MIL, and taking out q Small per
cent Of chafE, dirt, and foul seedi light. trashy
stun, that added little to the weight,
but which detracted largely from iss valuc. l
have no doubt that much OF the deterioration
OF our wheat and cat crops IS due to the new
mode OF thresling and cleaning our grain. The
blowing oats out Of spring wheat, with the uso
of tanning mill. and the screening out Of the
cookie, gave us the lest grain for seed,
and the "tai.lngs" OF the seed grain went tc
the chickens.
In the absence Of a Mill, wo can take out
more Of the foul seed and imperfect wheat by
immersing it in q strong brine. Mako it SO
that an egg will tloat in it. The coellc and
clnrlock will all 60 to the bottom, and the
| Light wheat. oats, and other Light seeds can be
! SKINNED of In Case tl,n wheat IL srnnttv the
sprouts Of the smut will be- Killed,
IN this case the best grains arc lett for seed
