Energy Wasted After Business Hours.

A great many people dissipate more
energy between the time when they
leave their work at night and when
they return to it in the morning than
they expend all day in their vocations,
though they would be shocked and Of
Tended if anyone were to tell them
so. They think that physical dissipa-
ton is the only method of energy
sapping. But men and women of ex-
emplary moral habits dissipate their
vitality in hundred ways. They in
dulge in wrong thinking; they worry;
they fret; they fear this, that, and
the other imaginary thing; and they
carry their business home with them,
and work as hard mentally after bust
ness hours as during them.-Success~

This is the time of year to begin to fight
the various insects that injure stored SEEDS,
grain and dried fruits.
1t is absolutely necessary that the SEED
be threshed or the corn be husked, and that
all grain or seed be placed in a tight room,
box or bin, in which all cracks and crew
ices should be stopped up as far as posi-
BILE.
Your Weapon of Warfare.
When the cracks have been carefully
stopped, turn on top of the grain two w
pounds of bisulphide Of carbon for every
one thousand cubic feet of room space re-
CARELESS of the amount Of grain or seed
that may be in the room. The room should
then be closed up tightly for three days, at
the expiration of which it may be opened
and aired out thoroughly.
1t is absolutely essential that the bisul-
phide of carbon be placed on top OF the
grain, since this substance evaporates i'm
mediately and as the fumes are heavier
than the air, they will settle and penetrate
every crack and crevice, and kill whatever
animal may be there. If the bisulphide Of
carbon is placed in small dishes on the floor
it will evaporate but the fumes will not
extend more than foot or so above and
the entire mass of grain or seed will not
be fumigated.
Where Dried Fruits Are Fumigated.
In using bisulphide of carbon to kill in
sects in dried fruit it is good plan to place
the fruit in paper bags or boxes or barrels,
removing the same to an outbuilding. Satu-
rate a rag with the bisulphide of carbon and
place the same on top of the dried fruit
and close up the box or barrel or bag, leaV-
ing it closed for three days or more, then
air thoroughly.
No Danger. Keep Up the Fight.
Bisulphide of carbon will not injure the
grain or seed or fruit for eating or for
termination purposes. This fumigating
process should be repeated in month or
six weeks in order to kill those insects that
may have been inside of the seed and COM
pletely enclosed so that the fumes of the bi-
sulphide of carbon could not reach them,
but which insects have by this time emery
ed and are about to deposit eggs for an
other generation.
One Precauton.
The only precaution necessary in hand
ling the bisulphide of carbon is not to en-
ter the room while the fumes of this sub
stance can be detected with lantern or
lighted pipe or any trace whatever of a
light or fire. 1t cannot be exploded by
handling
Bisulphide of carbon can be obtained
from the manufacturers in fifty pound
drums for ten cents a pound.

called into service. But all this has changed
as our public domain has been exhausted
and soil fertility drained by these early ex-
ploiters. 1t is becoming apparent on every
hand that these things coincident with our
increasing population make it imperative
that two blades must be made to grow in
stead Of one. To do this it is conceded that
more attention must be given to prepare
ton for this, our fundamental industry.
Popular appreciation of this fact in Mis-
souri, seems to me to be evidenced by a one
hundred per cent increase in attendance at
the Missouri Agricultural College this year.
And yet this is not exactly an index of what
people think Of the matter. It tells but part
Of the story. People believe in education
for the farmer but they do not believe in
that education which has no bearing upon
the practical problems of farm life. And
this is what people think of the instruction
offered by an agricultural college. This was
my opinion in twenty-three years upon the
farm and | had a host of neighbors who
shared it with me. An agricultural college
to us meant an aggregation of kid-gloved
gentlemen who knew about as much about
farming as it had to be done by the plain,
practical tiller of the soil as an IgorrJte
does Of the manipulations Of the New York
stock exchange. But some of US have come
and have seen. We were wrong, at least
so far as the Missouri Agricultural College

For some years the Missouri Agricultural
College las been making experiments to de-
termine whether it is possible to improve
corn by breeding The results indicate that
a thoroughbred corn is not only possible but
is absolutely essential to the best yields. In
many cases the yield of corn can be in
creased from to 20 bushels per acre in a
few years by the proper selection of seed.
There is the same chance for the improve
ment of corn by careful selection of ears as
there is for the improvement of live stock
by a careful selection of animals and since
1t is increased weight per acre that is most
important in corn, we must know the charac-
ter of the ear which will bring this re-
suit. -.

Attest OF WHEAT VARIETIES.

Tests of seventy wheat varieties at the
Missouri Agricultural College the past sea-
son show some remarkable differences IN
the yields and indicate the most suitable
varieties for the soil and climate of this
state. Most of the seed was secured from
Missouri, Kansas, Indiana, Ohio and Mich
igan. It was planted on uniform soil and
given uniform treatment throughout the
season. The 10 varieties showing the high
est yields in the order named, were. Mig
ger, Mortgage Litter, Lebanon, Economy,
Deitz, Valley, Early Ripe, Lehigh and New
American Banner, the yields ranging
from 1851 bushels to 23.71 bushels per
acre. All these showed a fair weight per
measured bushel excepting the last, which
fell to SO pounds. Missouri Fultz was used
as a standard for comparison in the tests,
every third plot being planted to this vari-
ETY.. The average yield Of these Fultz plots
fell a little below, the last of the above or
22.4S bushels. Too much dependence can
not be placed on these results, as they are
for single year, but some of the-more i'm
portant varieties, notably Niger, Valley
and Early Ripe have given large yields in
some nearby states and are especially
worthy Of trial in Missouri.

down all weeds during the summer, when
usually an excellent growth of plants will
be secured.
If one has grape vines which he wishes
to propagate but which he does not know
the name of so as to enable him to order
more from the nursery, he may easily prop
agate them in this manner.
Currants, gooseberries, the Mariana and
Golden Beauty plums, some varieties of
ounces, the barberry, spirea, mockorange,
privet and most varieties of shrubs, as well
as willows, poplars and some other vari-
cites of forest trees, root readily from cut

onethird the distance from butt to tip. Ears
larger around usually have too large a cob.
The shape of the ear should be nearly cylin-
drical; that is, it should be only slightly
smaller near the tip than near the butt. This
is important in order that the kernels may
be uniform in size and shape and that there
shall be large proportion of corn to cob.
The tip of the ear should be well rounded
out with kernels and the butt compact,
even and well filled, with smooth round
depression about three fourths of an inch
in diameter where the shank was attached.
The rows of kernels should run straight
from butt to tip with little space between
them at either top or bottom.

TWO FRUIT TREE ENEMIES.

In many localities two of the worst enc
mics of fruit trees are the rabbits in the
early fall and winter and borers in the sum-
mer. Both OF these pests may readily be
kept out by wrapping the trees as soon as
planted with what is known as wooden We
neer wrappers" These are a special kind
of single made for the purpose, being about
one-eighth of an inch thick, ten inches wide
and from sixteen to twenty-four inches long
These wrappers are put up in bundles of
one hundred each, and, having been made
from green wood, are always more or less
moist when received. If they become dried
out they should be soaked in a tub of water
for an hour or two before being used, as
when dry they are likely to split when be-
ing wrapped around the trees.
