AduIteTatiOn of Seed.

Glover seed is adulterated frequently
with finely ground rock, which is put
through certain processes affecting a
transformation in the small particles
and causing them TO look not unlike
clover seeds. The buyer pays for
more rock than seed. He of course Sc
cures q poor stand, for rocks don't
grow into clover plants. There are
other ways OF adulterating clover seed;
unfortunately we have several kinds of
noxiouslweed seeds which, if "doctor-
ed" just little by methods which
some seedmen we'll understand, so
nearly resemble clover seed that no
one is likely to distinguish the true
from the false. Some seeds used for
the purpose are oiled and bleached so
as to conform to the color of the clover
seed to be adulterated.
In many cases the seed used to in
crease weight of clover seed is burned
or the vitality destroyed by heating, 80
that when planted with the clover seed
the weed plants do not appear. ga
dead man tells no tales" The weed
seeds whose vitality is destroyed of
course do not terminate and in this re-
gard do not cause trouble, but they are
dearly paid for, and the farmer gets a
poor stand of clover.
Wild mustard is one of the most
common of weed seeds found in clover.
Thousands of acres of Iowa land were
last year completely subdued by wild
mustard which was sown with clover
in the spring. The loss sustained by
those thus imposed upon by imp rinci-
pied seedsmen was something astound-
ing. Not being able to distinguish wild
mustard seed from clover seed the
Iowa farmers sowed both and got a
crop of wild mustard minus the clover.
There is no way for the farmer to de-
fend himself against the dangers oil
seeding his farm with noxious weeds

Johnson Grass,

johnson grass has received consider
able attention in Kansas lately. 1t has
been grown in the plats of the Kansas
Experiment Station for several seasons,
and it's behaviour in our climate tested.
1t is a rank growing perennial, with
numerous strong, rather tleshy creep
ing root stocks, by which it propagates.
The stems and leaves are coarse, but
quite succulent. 1t seeds abundantly,
and seed can be purchased at all seed
houses. II the seed is clean, about one
bushel an acre is sufficient for sowing.
Johnson grass is chiefly used for hay,
for which purpose it should be cut
early before the stems become too old
and hard. Usually two or three cut
tings can be made. The seed should
not be sown until the ground is warm,
or it will not terminate well. johnson
grass prefers rich, moist soil, though it
will grow in variety of soils. 1t is in
jured by severe winters, but the cold
winter of 169S-'99 did not entirely kill
out the experimental plat, aud it quick
ly recovered from the effects of the
cold. 1t is not a success as a pasture
grass, as it is injured by grazing to
such an extent that pasture soon be-
comes useless, yet the vitality of the

Mixing Corn and Oats.

Let me tell you how A. W. Trow, of
the Minnesota Institute force, handled
some corn last fall. He had a number
OF stacks of oats. The separator was
placed on the outside, against a stack.
While two men were pitching in the
bundles of oats he had some five teams
drawing up corn from the field. This
was put in on the other side of the ma
chine. They have big, double self feed
separators here. The machine men OBJ.
jected to threshing corn, thinking 1t
too hard on the machine, but after try
ing it till noon, they consented to go
on, and LOO bushels of shelled corn
and oats mixed were the result of the
first days work.
So well pleased were the threshers
that that night they hitched up and
drove all about the neighborhood seek
ing jobs of threshing corn. Mr.. Trow
says the oats mixed in with the corn
helped about keeping it from heating,
and the oat straw in with the corn
stalks also did good in the same line.
He is very much pleased with the re-
suit of this mixed work. OF course,
some years the corn and oats would
have to be spread to keep them from
heating. Care should be taken not to
tramp on the threshed fodder after it
gets in the NOW. 1t will keep better if
not tramped, same as clover hay will.

THE JOY OF THE

house is the baby. No matter
how many have come before,
the latest arrival brings joy to
all.
When the little one takes
his first glimpse Of the world,
he is in, it is a minute of keen

Father is proud, mother is
fond, brother is eager, sisters
are tender, nurse is devoted;
the whole human world is kind.
There is another, an under,
world with enemies in it.
When baby gets into its
shadow, be quick with SCOTS
