SEED WHEAT
Upon Their Careful Selection De-
ponds, in n Great Measure at Least,
the Resulting Crop.

Great possibilities lie in the devel
opment of seed wheat. Constant Sc
lection of the largest kernels viii
have a constant tendency to improve
the seed and the resulting crop.
Some experiments were carried on in
France to determine to what extent
the crop could be improved by such
a selection. Though the process was
carried on for only three years, the
results were apparent. The expert
ment was tried in two directions, al
ways selecting the largest seeds for
one crop and the smallest seeds for
another. At the end of three years
the yield on the plats planted with
the large seeds was very marked over
the plats that had been planted with
the small seeds. Also the large wheat
grains had more vigor and developed
much more rapidly than did the 9th
ers. and the crop matured earlier.
The same experimental carried On
at the same time a parallel expert
ment. He selected for n lot the
grains that developed soonest on h
heads. and for another lot selected
the grains that matured latest on the
heads. In three years he had two
crops growing side by side. one of
them maturing six days ahead of the
other

PROFITABLE PRACTICE.
Soaking Corn for Feedin Is said to
Result in the Saving of 20 Per
Cent. of Grain.

For two years we have soaked all
the corn fed to hogs, whether shelled
or on the ear, writes o. c. Wiggin,
Charlotte county. Va, in the South
ern Planter. We were led to the prac-
tice by the reports of experiments
made by the Kansas experiment. sta
ton.
| take it that the chief advantage
in soaking corn lies in the better mas
tication which the animals give the
kernels. 1 find hat the teeth of pigs
soon become sore when fed contln-
uously on hard corn. When fed on
the ear, the front teeth become so
sore that they can hardly shell it.
The excrements of animals fed on dry
corn contain a large proportion of I'M
digested fragments. This is apparent
to the most casual observer.
All last year we had been feed
ing our horses and mules on soaked
corn with decided gain. Many horses
have q vicious habit of boiling their
grain. while old animals have faulty
teeth. which prevent them from crush
ing hard grain.
/ believe we are saving twenty per
cent. of grain by this simple prac-
tice.
We V allow the soaked corn to
become sour. 1t is well to have two
barrels to use on alternate days. If
the weather be very hot, the corn
should not remain in soak mor than
10 hours. In cool weather it may
remain 24 hours or longer. Nothing
can so certainly and quickly derange
the digestive organs of any animal
/ and throw it off its feed as sour corn

ch,ne.e GeogrnphicaI Names.

The confusion of Chinese names in

them over into their oWn tongues
added to the confusion. There has
been the greatest variance in the
spelling and the pronunciation of ge-
ographical names, and the newcomer
who struggles with the problem hnds
mis- mentality blurred. The foreign
armies have fallen into the confusion,
and each goes on spelling anne by
whichever method the fancy elects.
None OF the wal maps agree, and
there does not seem to be any means
or desire to make them harmonic.

T A ON Fl FARM.
There Lis No Place ON Earth Where o
Man Can Enjoy More Free
dom or Comfort.

The question of farmers moving to
town will admit of considerable dis
cussion, but we take the side in IA
vor of staying on the farms. There
is no place on earth that man may
enjoy more freedom, more fresh air,
and better grub" than right out on
q quarter section of land, located at
a convenient distance from good mar
kets. What is there more enjoyable
than looking among punches OF young
swine, selecting the ones you think
nearer your ideal, or watching calves
and colts playing in the lots, frisking
about and enjoying the sunlight?
What is nicer than to see a hen with
a flock of young chicks all OF n
color, scratching for bugs, ETC., each
one busy and seeming to enjoy it
self to a very high degree? What farm
er does not love to see crops grow
ing, from the time they first peep
above the ground until the final stage
of maturity is reached? People OF
ripe, Old age may take more ENJOY
ment in living in town, where every
thing is more handy, where they have
their mail more regularly, and where
they are not burdened with the cares
of a farmers life; but even this class
might derive more real pleasure on
the farm where there is more quiet
than in town, where there is always
more or less ~(generally more) noise,
and a general hustle and hustle. An
other point in favor of living on the
farm is the rearing of a family of

probabilities of city boys getting into
bad company. and forming such hab-
it's as their parents would blush to
have them become acquainted with.
While the lads of the country do not
come in contact with so many OF
these things, yet they find out enough
sometimes to do them a great amount
of harm. We would not try to ele-
vate ourselves above u friends In
town, but we do believe children are
more apt to form habits through evil
associations in the alleys and back
| streets of a town life than is prob
able in connection with a farm life.
We do not consider ourselves author
ity on this subject, but simply write
our thoughts in connection Herewith
hoping it may cause some n to
pause before leaving the farm in an
effort to better his condition in the
world. The farmer feeds the world

If the animals on a farm are censid-
Fred as customers, and everything they
consume is charged against them, the
value of the "home market" will be ap-

and if the animals only paid for the
food they received. with no extra profit,
the farmer will succeed in selling much
waste material in that manner.

SHE DECLINED.
Gave the suitor to Understand That
she Was Not In the Patch
ing Business.

Few American youth nave careers made
for them. Those who deplore this fact and
shun the stings of self-effort may find tonic
in the reply of a western girl to an offer OF
marriage, say Youths Companion.
A Young man of more book-learnang than
force of character lost the young wife who
had toiled to support him, returned to hlE
native town for consolation, and found 1t.
Some months later she, too, passed away,
and the sad youth soon appealed to q well
known clergyman for assistance IN finding
a helpmate.
The minister introduced him to a west,
ern girl of health and energy, who the next
day received a plaintive note from the wild
over. He declared that the Lord had made
great inroads upon his marital affections
and it now seemed to be His viii that shs
should repair the breaches of his life.
The reply, which the clergyman keeps to
day as one of the choicest specimens OF
varied collection, reads simply:

sure death to all that would be in a
hundred pounds of grain and other
seeds, and walls of that size just
thrust down into the surface and un-

whose portrait we here publish, wrote
Mrs. Pinkham in January, 1899, saying
her daughter had suffered for two
years with irregular menstruation-
had headache all the time, and pain in
her side, feet swell, and was generally
miserable. Mrs. Pinkham promptly
replied with advice, and under date OF
March, 1899, the mother writes again
that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound cured her daughter OF all
pains and irregularity.

Ny way is to have the lambs dropped
in March. At about five weeks old
build a lamp creep and trough for
them. Mix bran. salt and chop made
of corn, oats or barley. In August take
them away from the eve and put them
on fresh pasture. Increase their feed.
Their ration is corn, oats, barley,
wheat. rye and pumpkins. Their feed
should be changed occasionally. as they
will thrive better. Salt twice a week,
or have rock salt to run to, and water
also. House the lambs from every
storm. Length of time to feed. two
months or a little more. The best time
to market is when the price is the best.
