To secure satisfactory growth of
all trees, shrubs, flowers and grass in
the garden the soil must be rich and
deeply worked. That attempts at gar
dening may prove failures from other
causes is possible, but lack of attention
to these points is the most common
reason why many places never look
well, all the trees and plants having
an unthrifty, half starved appearance.
Just before growth begins in the
spring the surplus rough litter around
roses should be removed and all the re-
naming fine particles forked in. Deep
cultivation is not desirable as the roots
are likely to be injured or broken.
Three or four inches in depth is quite
sufficient to dig a bed that has not been
tramped upon, and this is best done
with four tined digging fork, which

In test of corn for seed made at
he Illinois experiment station last sea
son eighteen lots of corn came from
progressive farmers. and nineteen
came from the most Trustworthy corn
specialists to be found. From data OBJ
tanned in this test the station considers
it fair to assume that the seed corn
planted in Illinois during the spring of
1904 might have been at least S.S1 per
cent better than it was. and, although
1t does not follow absolutely it is not
far from correct t. reason that the
crop is S.S1 per cent lighter than it
might have been had the best seed at
tainable been used. This is a c0lserva-
tive estimate. considering t.iat the orig

Figures For the Individual Farmer.
u bring the matter Us closely home
as possible 10 the individual farmer,
suppose that he raises eighty acres of
corn and that his normal yield is sixty
bushels per acre, giving a total of 1850
bushels. His average loss this year
was SS1 per cent of that amount, or
40 IS bushels. Valuing this at 10 cents
a bushel, we have a loss of SlG9.15 due
to the use Of INFESTED seed. This
amount would pay the necessary wages
for testing every ear of seed corn
which would be used on 100 acres of
land counting the wages at $50 day.
These figures ought to appeal not 50
much to seed dealers as to farmers and
corn growers. They are the people di-
