Is Your Seed Corn Ready For the Plant.
er2

Our readers will pardon us if we
once mora jog their memories with
the above question. Notwithstand-
ing all that has been said in the
agricultural papers and from the
platforms Of railroad trains and at
institutes relative to the varieties of
corn adopted to be grown in each
particular neighborhood, the place
where they can buy their seed to the
greatest advantage, the different
types Of corn. the necessity of gather
ing in the fall, the proper curing
and storing during the winter, the
testing Of each individual ear and
fitting the planter plates to plant
each particular size of grain, many
farmers 1--WE hope not our readers
will go on this year Of 1906 as they
have done in years past planting a
poor quality Of seed, or good quail
ity Of seed not adopted to the lati-
tude and longitude, or planting it
unevenly 80 as to secure at best an
imperfect stand We therefore put

strange Cure For Lunacy.

Our forefathers We're SO fond of the
whip that they seem to have regarded
it as Il cure for lunacy and even for
smallpox. The accounts of Hunting
donshire parish, under date 1901, have
the entry, "Pd. in charges taking up a
distracted woman, watching her and
whipping her next day, IS. 3d. and a
few years later eightpence is paid for
whipping two people vt had the small
poX."
Bang beggar" was evidently no mere
fancy name for the parish beadle. He
thoroughly earned the title in the days
of his greatness. The name outlasted
the whip and the brutal performance
at the whipping post or the carts tail
Fifty or sixty years ago "bang bcggar'
was still the provincial name for bea-
die in several of the midland counties
\ Cheshire glossary defines "bang
beggar" as "a beadle. one of whose du-
ties it was to take up and drive away
any beggars in the district and prose-
cute them as the law directs"

Fox ana Eleas.

Reynard is knowing animal. The
foxes are much tormented by tleas, but
when the infiiction becomes too severe
they know how to get rid of the in
sects. They gather from the bark Of
trees moss, which they carry to a
stream that deepens by degrees. Here
they enter the water. still carrying the
moss in their mouths, and, going back
ward, beginning from the end Of their
tails, they advance by slow degrees till
the whole body, with the exception of
the mouth, is entirely immersed. The
fleas during this proceeding have
rushed in rapid haste to the dry parts
and finally to the moss, and the fox,
when he has, according to his calcula-
ton. allowed sufficient time for all the
feas to take their departure, quietly
opens his mouth. The moss floats off
down the stream with Its burden Of
fleas. and when it is out of jumping
reach the fox finds its way to the bank,
much relieved.

'There is singular idea that pre-
walls among many people that if lit
tie ia a good thing more Is better" said
a physician, "and an incalculable
amount Of harm is done. There are
cases where a little quinine does good,
and the patient, instead Of going to Il
physician and finding out how much he
wants, buys quantity at drug store
and takes so much that it is positive
detrlment. When persons have been
sick and obtained a prescription, they
imagine they know just what to do the
next time they are ailing and increase
the dose, often with most disastrous
results. The careless use Of medicine
by those not familiar with its conse-
quences causes more trouble than al
most any other source Of ailment to
which the human body is subject"

IOWA, WEDNESDAY,. APRIL 18. 1906.

this question: Is your seed corn
ready for the planter? If not, what
must be done to make it ready?
We assume now that every man
has secured his seed corn. We hope
every one of our readers has selected
for himself the seed for at least the
greater portion of his crop. We
hope they are quite certain that they
have type that will mature without
lall in an ordinary season in their
locality. And now the question
arises as to low to get it ready for
the planter
1t is not enough to take the seed
corn that you buy or have selected
and shell it and put it in the plant
en- IL you do, an uneven stand will
be cutie as certain as the coming of
the first of June. What then, is
necessary?
First, get your ears of corn out on
table or the floor, carefully exam
lnng each ear to determine whether
it has terminating power or not. Re-
ject all inferior ears, whether you
have grown them or bought them.
You had better feed inferior ears to
the hogs or cattle than plant them.
If you plant ears of an inferior type
you will raiseear af an inferior type.
The laws OF nature will rule whether
you are negligent or otherwise.
Next, prepare box such as we
have heretofore described. Take at
least two grains from each side of
each ear, and put them on the
squares corresponding to the mum,
Der on the ear, and thus test their
terminating power, as we have re.
commended. When they have ger
minated throw out every ear of
which one or two grains fail to grow,
or where they grow weakly. Don't
hesitate to throw them out.
When this has been done sort your
corn into as many different sizes as
seems Necessary. 1t is very seldom
that a man gets bushel of seed
corn which will plant evenly from
one plate. Generally it will require
two sizes of plates, sometimes three.
The size and shape of the grains
must detirmine that. Reject the
butts and tips, Having shelled your
corn into as many piles as necessary,
test your planter and ascertain which
plate will plant each particular
kind of corn three grains to the hill,
or whatever stand you desire. Put
the corn into different sacks. accord
ing to size and shape of grains and
number them to correspond with the
size of planter plate required.
You are then ready for corn plant
ing; you are not ready until you do
all this. Many of our readers will
say this is too much work. We beg
to assure them that they will never
spend week days more profitably
than in doing just this kind of work.
They must either doit, or be chagrin.
ed to find that they have stand of
from 60 to 80 per cent when they
ought 20 have 100 per cent

Raising the Dairy Calf.

The success in growing the call
whether raised by hand or nursed
by the dam, depends very much on
the care it receives during the win.
ter and spring. 1t must be well
cared for during the first winter,
or no matter how well bred or how
well it may be fed as yearling or
finished for market it will not reach
its full possibilities. 1t is the mis-
takes of the first winter that are SER
ious in handling any kind of young
stock.
| believe that grain can never be
fed to better advantage and with
greater profit than to the young
stock on the farm from weaning time
until grass becomes good the follow
ing spring. Not that they should
be given all the grain they can eat
right through, but that reasonable
amount is very beneficial while they
are getting a start
When the calf is running with the
COW, | would commence feeding
grain just before weaving. The
hand raised calf is already receiving
grain which should not be discon-
tinued until the animal is year old
and op good substantial pasture. Ii
a calf is fed little more than half
Of what it will eat up clean of oats
and corn and given good clover hay,
plenty of salt, pure water and shell
tered from cold, stormy weather the
animal will pay for it all and leave a
good profit to the owner.
The calf needs some muscle form
ing food. Oats and bran are prob
ably the cheapest foods for this pur-
pose. However, some corn is re-
quired in severe cold weather to
keep up heat. While the calf is
simply being grown, not fattened,
care should be taken in feeding
Give in quantities that will come
just little short of satisfying the
appetite. A common mistake made
even by some of our most expert
dairymen, is feeding the young cali
too lavishly during its early life
AS rule, the up-to-date dairyman
is very ambitious individual,
proud to raise anything in line ol
fine stock, but sometimes his am
bitions overcome his judgement and
in mistaken kindness to the animal
he feeds too heavily of rich and moi
easily digested foods. He may be
conscious Of the fact, yet he is ready
to take the risk for the sake Of out.
CHASING his neighbor in raising
something extra good. The result
is that the animal becomes stuntec
and is salmost worthless. Feed, such
as the steers or other fattening stock
gets, is not such as the dairy cal
should have. 1t is fattening fooc
and the result is that the calf be-
comes excessively fat without sulli

If a farmer treats all his calves alike
and gives them practically full feed
it is useless for him to expect profit.

opinion that improper feeding has
more to do with degeneracy of milk

After chase of two months Henry
M. Tilford, one of the Standard OIL

The chauffeur started the machine
with a full speed jerk and the pro-
cess server was dragged helplessly
along. But the subpoena and the

Reforming the Courts.

1t must have occurred to the
masses of the American people, that
it is strange that although our gov
ernment was ordained TO establish
Justice, insure domestic tranquility,
provide for the common defense,
promote the general welfare and Sc
cure the blessings of liberty to our
selves and our posterity" it seems
we'll nigh impossible, under the
present regime, to have the law en-
forced so it will call to account the
rich'as well as the poor, and to have
statutes interpreted SO they will in
llict punishment upon the strong
and the influential as we'll as the
weak and helpless.
Every day in the great city of
New York, for instance, men, women
and children charged with small Of
lenses are being sent to prison. The
woman who steals a loaf of bread, or
the man who steals a peck of coal,
finds no mercy. Thereisno delicate
weighing of te3hnicalities in such
cases. Indictments are promptly
obtained, prosecution is swift and
Imprisonment certain. But the rich
rascals who have plundered the
policyholders go scott free, while
the powerful monopolists in whose
Interests juries have been bribed
and city councils purchased, and
the men who, as members of the
beef trust, conspire against ths very
lives of the people, are not prosecut-
ed.
1t ought to be plain to every in
telligent person that the American
people will not long tolerate the con-
dition of things with which they
are today confronted. 1t would be
absurd to say that the people are
powerless in the presence Of these
great combinations of capital, be-
cause the courts, being interpreters
of law, hold, generally, with special
interests. The people are supposed
to make and unmake laws. They
are supposed to make and unmake
congressman, governors, legislatures
and presidents. The time is rapid
ly approaching when this will not be
mere supposition, and the people
will retire to private life those whose
inclinations tend toward special
privileges and whose sympathies are
with special interests They will
then elevate from the rank and file
men who may be trusted to act with
the view of obtaining the Creates
good to the greatest number; anc
in that day courts will be reformed
if necessary. Indeed, one of the es
sential reforms Of today is the abo
lition of the life tenure fedora
