Testing the Seed Corn.

the Illinois Agricultural College au.
thorities are urging the Importance of
testing seed corn, and have found in
their tests samples from farmers rang
Ing in vitality from 63 to 81 per cent.
The Importance Of testing seed corn
cannot be too strongly urged. The fol-
lowing Is an extract from a letter re-
ceived from Professor A. W. Hume,
OF the Illinois College on this subject:
IF, as seems probable, we are COM
PEELED to select seed corn for next
spring from crib having a large per-
centage of frosted ears or of ears
which for various reasons will not
grow, the question is what can be
done to help insure our stand of corn
for the coming year? 1t will hardly
do to plant seed on valuable land with
certainty that One-fifth will not
grow. The best suggestion the writer
has to offer to corn growers is that
they make most careful inspection of
corn, which they expect to use for
seed. whether it bs purchased from re.
liable growers or selected from their
own storehouses. We believe it would
be possible for every ear of corn plant
ed In Illinois to be tested for vitality.
II an ear does not come to the required
standard, it may be possible to. discard
1t, thus reducing the amount of seed
which will not grow and materially
increasing the stand of our corn crop
the coming year."

Use for Cottonseed Hu1ls.

Paper from cottonseed huIls is the
latest utilization Of a waste product
A factory has been established at
Niagara Falls. 1t is said that good
quality of paper can be made from
this material The diminishing sup
ply of wood and other materials for
paper stock has caused search for
substitutes. If the utilization of cot
tonseed hulls in this way proves sue
cess, it will mean new industry for
the South. Now that the mills have
found an honest use for hulls, it is
hoped they will keep the stuff out OF
the meal which they send North.

Growth of Pigs.

Foster and Merrill in Utah made
two tests to compare the relative fat
tening values of barrows and sows.
In the first test of ninety-one days, six
barrows made an average daily gain
of nine-tenths of a pound, and three
sows an average daily gain of eighty
three one-hundredths Of pound. In
the second test of 1873 days, three bar
rows made an average daily gain of
scven-tenths of pound, and six sows
an average daily gain Of eighty-eight
one-hundredths Of a pound.

Cattle and Meat Inspection.

The departmental report Of the
Bureau Of Animal Industry from
which Secretary Wilson prepared that
part of his annual report relating to
livestock matters will show an in
crease in the number Of government
meat inspection depots from nine in
1891 to 1856 in 1908. During this year
100000 live cattle were inspected by
the bureau agents, 100000 sheep, L.
100000 calves, 31,5OO,OOO hogs and a
few horses. OF these animals about
$4,000 were rejected, subject to the
result of post norton examination.
The post mortem inspections for the
year show practically the same figures
a total Of 37,261,629 carcasses, Of
which 7S,472 carcasses were condemn
ed and 64,4SO parts Of carcasses con-
demned. The figures show 344 horses
slaughtered for food purposes.

Good Points of Macaroni Wheat.

Macarom wheat is drought Tesister,
a heavy yielder, an early maturing
grain, and has another good point for
poultrymen-it has a large kernel.
This grain sown by itself, or with oats,
and kept in the bundle makes poultry
ration hard to beat. We would sug-
gest getting the smooth varieties, as
the strong barb on some of the beared
varieties might be Objectionable when
fed in the bundle. Mixed with oats,
as many do now for horse feed, this
heavy-yielding grain certainly bids
fair to be a good one.

Frank D. Thompson of this town CON-
tributes to the September number of the
American Fish Culturist the following
interesting article on some trout he
caught at the lake and we are indie bted
to E. N. Carter, the editor OF this ex-
cellent magazine, for the use ofthe picture
of the fish.
The picture shows two lake trout
which were caught in Caspian Lake in
Greensboro, in the spring of 1901. The
larger one weighed ss4 pounds and the
smaller one Az pounds.
This lake. about two miles long and
half a mile wide, situated high among
the Green Mountains is a deep water
lake of clear, cold, spring water. For
many years this lake has been artifciallv
stocked with trout, and it would be
difficult to find another body of water
which can show better results from arti-
fetal stocking.
The first lake trout fry were planted in
this lake about twenty-eight years ago !;
about ten or twelve years later a second
lot of fry were planted. No results were
obtained from these stockings until
about five years after the second lot were
placed in the lake when lake trout weigh
ing from three-quarters of a pound to
three pounds began to be caught. No
large ones were caught until about four
years later when one weighing eight
pounds was taken.
Since then there have been yearly plant
ings of lake trout and land locked sal
mon fry, the waters have also been
stocked with steel head and German
brown trout, and the results must con-
vince the most skeptical OF the practic-
ability of the artificial propagation of
trout.
During the last six years there have
probably been more trout taken from
this lake than from any other body of
water in Vermont. During this time
there have been caught lake trout weigh
ing from one to twenty pounds, land
locked salmon up to eight pounds in
weight, steel head and German brown
trout Weighing from three to seven
pounds and the native speckled trout up
to five pounds in weight.
On the first day of May, 1901, one
fisherman from St. Johnsbury, fishing
from the shore, with worms for bait,
caught four speckled trout and six land
locked salmon which weighed, in the
aggregate, over thirty pounds. Catches
of iorty or fifty pounds of trout a day
have frequently been made; i'll fact so
frequently, that in 1902 a law was
passed restricting the catch of each per-
son to fifteen pounds day.
Today these waters are teeming with
trout of the kinds above mentioned, and
if any fisherman wishes to satisfy him
self of the success following the proper
stocking of proper waters a visit to this
lake during the open season will do so.

Prospective Legislation.

A careful reading of our exchanges in
dicates that the next legislature Will
have plenty of business before it in the
shape of new bills or amendments to old
ones, though it is impossible, of course,
to say how much of the grist will be
ground out into laws. A caucus law IS
one of the most mentioned subjects and
it looks now as ifVermont would get one
this fall. The question of electing by
plurality is being seriously advocated
and is finding much favor as the farmers
especially, are Disguised with three
cornered fights that keep them up all
night or bring them back to the town
house the second day. The fact that the
management Of the Woodstock Fair will
not allow any automobiles on the
grounds at the fair this week is straw
which shows how some people look upon
the automobile. In this matter the 1nno-
cent have to suffer with the guilty who are
in the minority but who speed over hill
and dale with reckless disregard of others
who may be driving. The automobile
has come to stay and is doing much to
create demand for good roads, but the
prejudice against them will never be re-
moved until every owner practices the
golden rule There is also a demand for
lowering our state expenses and we look
for some legislation along that line. The
legislature will have an unusual number
of strong men in,both of its branches and
some excellent legislation may be conf
