When it is remembered that it is pos
sible for one bushel of seed corn to
vorable conditions 1t will be readily
seen that no seed the farmer plants is
more perfectly under his control. Not
only should each ear of corn used for
seed be carefully inspected and select
ed, but it would pay to go even fur
ther and make each kernel used sub
ject of investigation. 1t is right in
this line where lie almost untold posi-
bilities in connection with the improve
ment of the corn crop.

Missouri is fast forging to the front
as the great apple state of the Union,
but while she may produce the most
big red apples she will never produce
the best ones, the colder climate Of
Canada and New York insurlng fruit

The average woman will find that
dozen geranium plants of different
kinds will give her more satisfaction
for winter house plants than anything
else. They will bloom profusely, give
plenty of brightness and color, will
stand grief and won't die if the frost
gets nip at them or If she forgets
to water them, while they are almost
insect proof.

What this country needs more than
anything else is relentless application

Macaroni wheat has become an es-
tablished and very successful crop for
an immense territory in the northwest
semiarid region, where the annual rain
fall is from ten to thirteen inches, yields
of from twenty to thirty bushels per acre
being secured where other varieties of
wheat prove almost total failure. 1t
is worth noting that this macaroni
wheat is very much richer in protein
content than other wheats and sug-
gests that even If it cannot find a
ready market for use in the manufac-
ture Of macaroni products it still will
prove most valuable food for stock.

Southern farmers and truck growers
are making lots of money out of cot
ton. cantaloupes and cabbages, while
the crop of early potatoes taken from
the land before the cotton is planted is
quite generally good for 800 per acre.
There is many a ten acre tract in the
Carolinas which was just ten dollar
scrub timber land few years ago
which is now bringing the owner in a
larger net return than many n good
quarter section farm in the northwest.

The building Of condensed milk
factory in any given locality, 1t mat
tiers not much where located, is the
best of security that every farm which
can be made tributary to it will within
one year advance In value to at least
800 per acre.

1t is no small trial which the nice
young lady undergoes when tempted
by dish of nice crisp and toothsome
young onions at the supper table when
she is expecting her best fellow to call

parties have bad breaths.

The first fifty days of 1904 saw eggs
bringing the highest prices they have
brought for thirty years. The cold
storage stock was exhausted and the
markets were wholly dependent upon
the whims of the hens during period
of continuous and extreme cold wealth

1t is not a-bad sign that weeds are
found growing big and thrifty on
poorly cared for farm. for where such
weeds will grow there will also grow
other and better things when good
tillage is given. One Of the cleanest
farms we ever saw was one where nei-
Their weeds nor anything else would
grow.

The seemingly small difference be-
tween zero weather in winter and that
of 20 below zero settles the fate of
large line of fruit Peaches, the Eu-
ropean plums, many of our best roses
and choicest shrubs which will with
little or no protection endure zero
weather for ten days at time will
be utterly destroyed at the lower tenn
perature. 1t is this condition of eli
mate which marks the limits of the
peach belt all through the country.

This is not new suggestion, but
none the less valuable on that account
If you have a dozen or more pigs to
feed this season by all means SOW
patch of rape for them, and you will
find that it will take the place Of lot
of much more expensive feed. The
rape patch should be proportional In
size to the number of hogs to be kept,
not over one acre for twenty small
hogs, as the value Of this plant consists
in keeping it well fed down. If it is
allowed to grow foot high it becomes
tough and unpalatable.

1t is not little amusing to note the
gravity and profundity with which
many newspaper men discuss every
year the varying phases of the ground
hog signs as determining the length of
the winter when all know the question
of whether or not the rodent sees his
shadow on the I'd of February has just
as much bearing on future weather as
all the rest of the signs and petty SUI
perstitions which have come down to
us from the days when agriculture
was an occult science dependent upon
lunar changes, vestiges Of the barba-
rian necromancy Of the medicine man,
a whole brood Of luny theories and be-
liefs that man with all his progress is
wonderfully loath to abandon.

The cob pipe industry is largely To-

A young man who lives In d good
grass country where there is neither
creamery nor cheese factory wants to
know how much small creamery
plant would cost and how many cows
he would have to have to support it
and make it pay. A building with
modern equipment would cost from
$1,000 to $4,000 and he should have
not less than 600 cows in sight before
he puts a dollar into the plant. in order
to make it pay. Trying to run
creamery without cows has brought
men to grief all over the country.

He was of low degree, unshorn, I'M
kempt, ragged, dirty and looked to be
lousy withal. He wanted a handout
and, drawing his whisky tinted phiZ
into grotesquely pathetic and abject
expression, said he had had hard luck
and all that. Human being? Yes.
Hungry? Probably Deserving Of hui
man sympathy? Doubtful. Would you
feed him? Yes. probably, and thereby
piously and sympathetically aid in the
making of another parasite just like
him. We let him go hungry, for star
walton is the only earthly remedy for
such cases of human degradation.
Bear in mind that the prodigal son
was reformed by hunger alone.

While we have well organized expert
ment stations we still like the idea Of
a farmer doing little experimenting
on his own account Even If he obtains
no very satisfactory results such plan
cannot fail to give him greater in
terest in his work. To plow and SOW
and reap just in the same old way
year after year is at best monoto-
nous work. There always is and al
ways will be better way than the
old way, and one of the chief pleasures
Of farming is to be always looking for
the better way This line Of expert
mentation may be in the line of i'm
proving our seed grains, of trying
patch Of alfalfa, some new variety Of
potatoes some better breed of poul-
try, of grating in the orchard, of spe-
cial care given some acre Of corn. grass
or root crops. Such work will special
~ interest the boys on the farm. and
give to any man who will try 1t a
broader conception of the possibilities
of his business.
Tne value Connected with frequent
change of seed is especially noticeable
in connection with our cereals and po-
tatoes. 1t is estimated that the potato
crop of one of the best potato sections
Of Wisconsin was last year reduced
fully one-half by the persistence of the
growers in planting the seed raised by
them year after year
oaInB man Sras a twenty Acfe field of

There are very large possibilities con-
nected with such a tract, and, properly
managed, it can be made to produce
an income equal to that Of many a
quarter section farm run in the old
and the common way. There Is first
and foremost the possibility Of secur-
ing an unlimited amount Of the best of
fertilizer at low cost, and this means
high degree Of productiveness Then
extra help is available at special sea

The bane of so many boys, both in
town and country, is seeming lack Of
ambition and desire to be somebody.
The law works very unerringly and re-
lentlessly that what the lad sows the
man reaps. If in youth he is willing
to drift merely, even If he is not posi-
lively immoral, the mature man is easy
to forecast-a shiftless, hapless mortal,
with no aim, willing to eat, though he
does not earn, three meals a day; a
dead weight on his own family and the
community in which he lives, contribut-
ing nothing to the material prosperity
or happiness of his time and slightly
missed when in declining years he slips
away For the sake of yourself first, If
you will, and for the sake of your

such a family represent for yearf

to rent in town would cost them at
least $3.50 year; there is the board OF
seven people, and such board would

year, for town people could not begin
to live SO well for any such sum; then
