Uncertain Factors in Farming.

While in way it is conceded that xg-
riculture is safe business, it still has
two most variable and uncertain prob
lens affecting profits year by year.
These are the weather and the markets.
Late and early unreasonable frosts,
droughts. floods and hail, are conditions
which the farmer cannot control, still,
the man who studies climatic and
and weather conditions thoroughly can
do much to mitigate and modify the
losses incident TO such climatic ex,
tremes Every farmer should be an OBJ
serving student on this line. Most men
raise crops entirel, regardless Of the
fact whether the world is likely to want
them after & ey are raised, and suits his
own notions rather than the caprices Of
himself on market conditions, and so far
as he ma, be able to interpret them,
will grow such crops as the world most
wants and will pay the best price for.
When anything is done in this line it is
almost invariably done one year too late.
While the crop situation cannot be ac-
curately forecast, still by careful study
Of this market problem many man
would be able to avoid ra sing the par
ticular crops with which the markets OF
the world are likely to be surfeited.

ever wss taken in the selection OF seed
grain. II the total number Of bushels
Of foxtall, mustard, cookie and other
foul seed raised each year upon the
grain fields OF t. Q country could be as
cert ined, it would be an eye-opener and
would emphasize the fact that this leak
is one of the most serious ones which
tends to reduce the profits of the farm.
The production of these foul seeds saps
the vitality Of the soil to as great and
probably greater extent than does the
production of any cereal crop These
seeds are absolutely worthless, cost
money to harvest, money to thrash, and
are dead load for any man to carry
who handles the grain which contains
them. While absolutely clean seed will
not altogether remedy this evil, because
not little depends upon how the land
has been previously cared for, it will
still be step in the right direction II
nature is let alon she will always ar
range that only the best of anything
shall propagate it's species. Thus we
find the ever pre- ent sexual strife be-
tween forms of animal life whereby only
the strongest males perpetuate their
kind, and in the vegetable world, out Of
the seemingly useless prodigality of seed
produced, it is ever and always that only
the strongest and most vigorous plants
survive. When man steps in and at.
tempts to do natures work in an arti-
fetal way, he should never fail to recog-
nize this law and always use the very
best, whether Of animal or vegetable life
for propagating purposes. For instance,
in the matter Of seed wheat, barley, oats,
and fax, it will pay to take the trouble
to secure only the very best and plump
est grains for seed, which may be done
either with mill which will so separate
the grain. or as we used to do in the pio-
neer days, cast the grain from a shovel
against light wind in the barn or on a
canvas and taking for seed that part
which could be thrown tn. furthest.
There is perhaps not more important
thing-one which more concerns every
farmer-than this Of sowing good seed
ard it specially concerns them all right
now. Remember the immutable law,
that whatsoever q man soweth that shall
he also reap aud 'urther, that when
we interfere with nature and prevent
the operation of her other law which Sc
cures the survival of the fit:est, the
tendency is wholly toward the degrade
ton of the type. Sow the bel seed and
clean seed this spring, il never before.
