more do we want Doubtless Mr. Burnett
would cOncede he could force cows for a
time to greater performance by modifying
this ration somewhat but forcing is not

Before the hurrying farm work of spring

and successful farmer attends to, so that
he is not distracted by emergencies when

unsuccessful man in any business. Farm

more important than it is in any other. 1t
is a complicated array of little details, each
seemingly of small moment, but each of
which, if not attended to promptly, entails
loss, One Of the most common mistakes
is in not having duplicate parts of harness
and bolts for farm implements in case of
breakages The cost of these is small com
pared with the veXation and loss resulting
from not having them when needed, and
when men or teams may be kept idle for
hours while waiting for repairs. Five dol
lars worth of time may be easily wasted
for lack of a bolt that promptly furnished

parative isolation of the farmer obliges
him for economy's sake to keep a great
quantity of repairs in stock. There is, if

of elaborate report of details of seed tests
with summaries of results relating to gen.
eral principles. We copy from the latter a
few points:
Soaking seeds in water before planting
does not appear to hasten sprouting, if the
planting time be reckoned from the time at
which the seeds are put to soak But if
planting time is counted from the time of
placing the seeds in soil. quicker sprout-

ing is incorrect, however Soaking seeds
does not appear 10 influence the total
amount of sprouting. Light has great in
huence upon sprouting of seeds of some
species. When light has any influence it
retards or wholly prevents sprouting. As
a rule heavy seeds terminate better than
light ones of the same sample Northern
grown corn appears to terminate quicker
than southern grown corn. 1t is to be ex-
pected, from our knowledge of the varia-
