Testing Vitality of Seeds.

Owing to the unfavorable season of
1903 many kinds OF seeds failed to mature
properly and iii probable that there will
be many disappointed growers during
the present season. PTof. w. M.
Munson, horticulturist to the Maine
Agricultural Experiment Station makes
the following suggestions, whereby it is
possible for every farmer to know just
what to expect from his corn, oats, peas,
clover or other crops and to plan accord
ingly. II he knows that only SO per cent.
of his corn will terminate. it is an easy
matter to plant twice as much; but if he
plants The usual amount aud gets only
half stand the case is much more
serious,
A simple test OF the vitality of any farm
or garden seeds can be made as follows !;
Place 100 seeds, taken at random from
the stock which is to be planted, on a
dish Of sand, cover from Ia to inch
with sand, moisten and keep in a warm
place, as behind the kitchen stove, until
the sprouts appear. The number Of
sprouts which appear will give an idea OF
The percentage which may be expected TO
grow. Care should be taken that The
seeds are kept moist but not too wet. Ii
is advisable to make more than one tes',
and be guided by the average results. A
test OF this kind is more valuable than
one which the seeds are placed in blotting
paper, Tor seeds may sprout on paper
which do not have sufficient vitality TO
grow.

Young Plants

Every farmer knows that
some plants grow better than
others. Soil may be the same
and seed may seem the same
but some plants are weak and
others strong.
And that's the way with
children. They are like young
plants. Same food, same home,
same care but some grow big
and strong while others stay
small and weak.
SCOTS Emulsion offers an
easy way out of the difficulty.
Child weakness often means
starvation, not because of lack
of food, but because the food
does not feed.
SCOTS Emulsion reallyfeeds
and gives the child growing
strength.
Whatever the cause of weak
ness and failure to grow
SCOTS Emulsion seems TO find
it and set the matter right.
