Practical Seed Testing.

The method Of testing seeds between
plates and layers OF moiStcned flannel,
the whole being kept in Il warm place,
is familiar TO nearly every one. 4. :.
Hitchcock says in Gardening as to the
time required for seeds to gcrminatc:
Some seeds will commence TO gprmi-
nate by the third day Each day an cX-
animation should be made, ana those
seeds which have @crminated should
be recorded and removed.
Grass cn1Ic 4uirl4 az much a. tl.r.4"
weeks, and seeds Gf some trees q still
longer time. Beet balls contain from
three to seven seeds. With very small
seed il may be necessary to provide for
the circulation of air by placing small
pieces of wood between the layers of
cloth among the seeds. With most va
rictieS of garden plants the majority
of seeds should germinate within n
few days after the first sprout appears.
II the period of termination extends
over Il longer time, it shows that the
vitality of the seed is low. Seeds of the
carrot family ana some melon seeds
may not show as high results in the
terminating dishes as they do in tie
ground.

Potatoes that have been kept by
banking with earth should not be dis
turbed in the spring until about the
last of April. They may then be taken
from the bank and may be stored in
cellar or dark corner Of the barn un-
til about one week before planting
time. Then they should be spread upon
the ground where they will be fully eX-
posed to the sunlight. This will cause
the buds TO make a strong, vigorous
growth, which is not broken off when
the tubers are planted. Permitting the
buds thus to start greatly facilitates
growth after planting. The Cornell (N.
" station has found this method of
procedure to work well, much better
than when seed tubcrs are stored in
cellars or where they are banked i'm
mediately after digging.

SOY BEANS.
Widespread Interest In Them at the
NOrth-HoN to Grow Them


NOrth-HOw to Grow Them.
In view of the present widespread in
terest in soy beans a few words of ex-
planation are pertinent at this time.
Probably Il hundred Ohio farmers have
asked me if they can grow SoyS in their
latitude. ! answer yes. Why not? Lo-
Gated north of the forty-fourth parallel
Of north latitude, have been growing,
cross breeding and feeding soys for
years and have yet to record the first
failure. Given the early or medium
early varieties, any Ohio farmer should
do better than can possibly be done
here. The principal causes of failure
are TOO late varieties, too late planting
and too much seed.
The best way to use soy beans for
hog pasture is in what my friend. Z. +.
DichI of Indiana. calls Il hog para
disc" This is made by planting soy
beans, cowpcas ana corn in alternate
rows. and ut the last cultivation two
pounds Of rape are SOWn to the acre.
IL Is not expensive, ana IL makes pork
as nothing else will. As one farmer Of
my acquaintance said: Make pork?
We'll. say. its just like getting money
from home"
Soy beans will stand more cold than
corr. coWpeas or potatoes. In fact. |
have never seen them injured by frost
between May ! and oct. /, though. of
course, thya" are extreme dates. Soys
will withstand more wet weather at
any stage OF growth than any forage
with cowp"as. viii grow right along
through the hot. dry weather when
corn leaves dry up ana rustic says a

siyely aduIteratcd is the color test.
Pure paris green has a bright green
color a shade on two lighter than EN-
erald Any samples which have Il duh
or pale, washed out appearance
should at once be discarded without
further question. BY placing 4 small
quantity in, say, Il homeopathic vial
and tapping the latter gently on the
bottom or side adultcrants can be made
TO separate from the green and can
then l2 seen as white streaks or patch
eS against the glass sides Of the vial.
The pure green remains bright green
against the glass.
In connection with the color test Pro
feSsor Wo"dWorth of the California
station has devised the following sim.
pie test. which can be made by any
one and which will show Immediately
if the sample is worthy of any further
considerations: Place upon Il clean glass
plate Il small quantity of green-What
one can easily pick up on the point of

angle and gently tap the edge just
enough to cause the green TO flow
down, leaving a streak across the plate.
If the green is of good quality, the
streak viii be a bright, light emerald
green; if adulteratcd, Il whitish or
sickly dull green. Any samples which
exhibit the latter are either adulter
ated or of low grade and as aSuch are
not worthy of further consideration.
Another very simple way to show the
presence of adulterants is the ammo
mia test. Pure paris green is wholly
soluble in ammonia, while some of its
common adultcrants are not. Therefore
if after dSsolving a small quantity in
ammonia any residue remains undiS-
solved the sample has been adulter-
ated and should be discarded. Unfortu-
nately this test does not show the
presence Of any free or uncombined
arsenious oxide, which, although it has
not been considered strictly an adul-
terant on the ground of its poisoning
qualities, is nevertheless Objectionable
on account of its injurious action on
