POINTERS.

If an animal is to make steady, nor
NAL development, there must be no check
in growth.
In raising for the market the most
rapid growth at the least cost is the
prime consideration.
Farm for profit instead of for crops.
A balance sheet is needed to show prof
its, and to detect losses.
The best way to restore farm which
has been cultivated to death is to con-
vert 1t into stock farm.
Don't carry the diversified farming
Idea too far, and fritter your time all
away attending to small patches with
no money bringers.
Farming is like counting your best
girl. You have to be dead in earnest.
do your level best, and then not be toe
sure Of winning, but it's well worth
while If you wish to win.
To avoid waste and to make sure that
every member Of flock of sheep gets his
share, arrangements should insure so
that each animal can readily secure a
place.-American Dairyman.
A well-laid tile drain will last life
time and prove profitable investment.
Although stones are cheaper in many
places, 1t costs more to lay them and to
dig and fill the ditch. Then, too, stone
drain is more likely to fill up.-Farm and

Farmer.
The grain bins are arranged with
sliding boards in front, 66me as in any
granary. The attic can be used for
storing tools or anything else desired
In that case there should be window

tionary by covering the lower part of
the door, and the door sill, with eheet
iron and extending the sheet iron strip
out towards corner of building foot or
so on each side. Such an approach can
be provided at each end. so that the
team can be driven through the build

NO CAPITAL PUNISHMENT.
in Belgium, But Is Never
Executed.

In Belgium there Is no capital pun
ishment. The death sentence Is often
pronounced, but it is never executed.
The statutes prescribe an extreme pen
atty, but it is only carried out con-
structively, the condemned person being
regarded in the eyes Of the law as dead.
but is permitted to live. serving out a
life sentence in imprisonment.
The reason for this strange state Of
affairs Is that King Leopold promised
his mother when she was dying that he
would never sign his name to a death
warrant. Death has been pronounced
upon many criminal since that time.
but the death warrant has remained un-
signed by the king. A great many eff
forts have been made to persuade King
Leopold to make an exception to his
promise. This was especially urged
upon him In the case of three anarchists
who had been condemned by the law
to die, and although petitions signed by
thousands of his subjects were pre-
scented he would not yield but remained
faithful to the promise made to his dy-
ing mother.

e for ditch cleaning or to make the
drag throw more dirt to the left. To
move dirt to the right reverse position
of driver and hitch. If working clay or
gumbo road, put iron, old wagon tire,
or something of the sort, on lower edge
of drag at the end of six months; for
softer soil at the end of IL months.
The Western Fruit Grower has an in
teresting article on the use of the split
log" for dragging purposes in improving
roadways. The writer advances the fol-
lowing timely suggestions:
Don't drive too fast
Don't walk; get on the drag and ride.
Don't wait for your neighbors to take
hold; they may be waiting for you.
Don't bother about a tongue; it is
much trouble and expense and is of lit
tie benefit.
Don't wait for the big grader to come
uon1peAape' up your road. All you can
do first will help to make the work of
the grader permanent.
Don't be particular about material.
With an AK and two-inch auger almost
any kind of a log can be made into a
drag. The one used for several years
is a box elder.
Don't try to drag with one piece; use
two. One will scoop out the hollows in
the road and deepen them. When two
are used the one keeps the other up;
and in month or so the hollows will
have filled and become level and hard
like the balance of the road.

Corn Huskers.

large shanks and close husks. Prob

PRODUCING SEED GRADES.
Some Information In Regard to the
Practice Of Mixing Of
Seeds.

Mr.. A. ]. Pieters, division of botany,
United States department of agricul-
ture, has issued the following interest
ing information on mixing seeds:
"Seedsmen distinguish the two meth
DDS Of producing grades as legitimate
and illegitimate. Even those seedsmen
who knowingly sell adulterated seeds
admit that such a course Is not legiti-
mate. On the other hand, mixing diff
ferent grades is generally claimed by
them to be proper, and, indeed, often
necessary, II the scotsman is to sell
at price his customers are williag
to pay. Mixing seeds of high grade
with screenings clearly lowers its quail
ity, and this is evident to any Que
who carefully examines the sample, but
they argue that no intentional decsp-
ton is practiced. although the new
grade may be well stocked with wb.d
seeds. The scotsman who adds a6al-
terants has, however, a different object
in view. He wishes to lower the cost of
the seed to himself without injuring rs
appearance. Such seed Is usually sold
at trifie below the market price of the
grade for which it is offered, and is an
INJURY to the legitimate trade as well
as fraud on the buyer. Adulterated
seed is commonly offered on sample,
but is sold usually to those not suf-
ficiently informed to detect the decep-
ton.
"The most freqent adulterant Is
yellow trefoil, great deal of which has
been imported into this country, some
of it under the name of crimson
clover. Most of this will doubtless be
used to adulterate red clover seed, since
the demand for trefoil seed is insig-
nificant. The plant, although legume,
is Objectionable in clover fields because
it occupies ground that could be more
proftably given to the clover plant
and because it does not mature with
the(clover. The seed so closely re-
sembles that of red clover that as much
as 80 per cent. can be mixed with the
latter without being detected on casu-
al examination. 1t is greenish yellow in
color, and is distinguished by a minute
projection in the neighborhood of the
scar that marks the point of attachment
of the seed to the fruit.
Another adulterant sometimes used
is the seed of Hungarian grass. The
small seeds are used, which in size
closely approximate the clover. The
dark color also readily blends with high
grade clover seed and enables the un-
scruplous seller to offer apparently good
qualities at prices with which honest
dealers cannot compete"
