NECESSITY FOR sEEp,coRN TEST

If farmers expect to have good
they should take special care in Sc
lecting their seed corn this spring
Warnings have been sent out from
the agricultural stations and it win be
the planters own fault, the weather
being favorable, if they do not har.
vest satisfactory crop.
Last summer was too chilly and
often too damp TO prevent the deter.
ioration of the growing crops, and in
the fall just before the usual time for
garnering the corn the mercury drop
ped to a point near zero when much
of the remaining vitality of kernels
was destroyed. To plant seed from
such crops is pure waste of time
Many farmers realize this and are
paying fancy prices for healthy seed
corn. According to tests made at the
agricultural station, about half of last
years crop is unfit for seed; in some
cases there was "a per cent of water
in the grain at cribbing time. Tests
have been made of many varieties OF
corn which was fully developed and
apparently in the pink of health with
the result that from 80 to 40 per cent
of it had no vitality at all and much
that remained was weak and spind
lng.
The only safe way, therefore, is for
the farmer to test his own seed corn
Choice may be made of several meth
! DDS which will give the proper re
suits; but the most convenient is that
of the paperfolds. BY this method
different kinds of corn may be tested
at one time with no danger of Their
being mixed together. In a small. fiat
box about eight inches square, place
as many folds of newspapers of five
to seven thicknesses each as there
are varieties of corn to be tested
After thoroughly dampening the pa
! per, scatter 200 grains of each variety
of corn to be tested between the folds
I bearing Its respective label. The con
| tents of the box must then be KEEP
| damp, but not wet, and in tempera

observe the progress of the germina
ton by lifting off the folds of paper
The kernels will show their degree o
vitality in four to eight days, accord
ing to their variety. The health
germs are large, bright and plump a

germs in 100 kernels. If the farme
! is forced to plant corn of weake
vitality, he should plant six or eigh
grains in each hill and subsequently
resort to the old-fashioned method o.
thinning it out to three or four stalks
after the corn has grown to about six
inches in height.

closely, but the fact remained that she
was. Maybe it was because he was so
ntently interested in Agnes Brandon.
Throughout the dinner she watched
the two, and with jealous woman's
intuition she saw that Miss Brandon
was as greatly interested in Halbert as
he in her. She decided that the time
had come for his humiliation.
With tbs intention she sought them
out after the dinner, finding them in
the conservatory. AS the man arose
she looked at him steadily and asked:
DO you consider that you are earn
ing your fee by picking out the most
beautiful and most charming girl in
the room and devoting yourself to
her?'
The man exclaimed in surprise, but
the girl went On.
Or acting honorably to this lady in
making love to her who is ignorant of
your position here?"

Brandon, jumping to her feet.

without looking at him.

he declined politely. And it was
learned that he had come into his in

Variations in Fat Tests Of Milk.

Country Gentleman.-Since the
handling of milk on the basis of its
fat is becoming quite general. TO look
into some causes of variations in fat
tests may be beneficial. We very
often meet those who oppose this. on
the ground that tests of some herds
have been found to vary many times
during a season.
Here are a few conditions that may
explain such variations while COWS
are in stable and rations are the
same. There may have been disturb.

disguise that the vast majority in this

Some seaso,abIc Advice,

It may be a piece of superfluous advice
to urge people at this season OF the year
to lay in a supply OF Cllambcrlain's Cough
Remedy. 1t is almost sure to be needed
before winter is over, and much more
prompt and satisfactory results are OBJ
tanned when taken rs soon as q cold Is
contracted and before 1t has become set
tied in the system, which can only be
done by keeping tho remedy ut hand.
This remedy is so widely known and so
altogether good that no one should hesi-
tate about buying It In preference TO
any other.
