1t had been Mrs. CraigIes habit for
many years to begin her work at 8

late she had been up the night before.
OF and on she wrote till II 80, never
being able to do more than half an

which makes the amount she produced

idly as if she had been idle all day, a
feat of unbending which few women

ADuLTERATED ALFALFA SEED.

Following out the Instructions Of a
recent act of congress making appro-
priations for the department Of agri-
culture. the chief of the bureau Of
plant industry has this season made a
collection Of 352 samples Of alfalfa
seed as offered for sale in the open
market and subjected them to a care
full examination with view to ascer-
tanning the extent to which the seed
was adulterated Out Of the number Of
samples mentioned it was found t;iat
100, or nearly half, contained seed Of
HE destructive parasitic plant 4
nine samples were found to contain
Yeed Of the yellow trefoil, while nine
samples were adulterated with bur cl3-
yer. The trefoil seed is imported from
Europe and costs about 5 cents per
pound, being used extensively as an
adulterant Of clover and alfalfa seed.
The bur clover is a byproduct secured
in the cleaning of South American
wool and is imported from Germany in
low grade alfalfa seed. Following
statement Of the kinds Of adulterants
found in the samples tested. were given
the names and addresses of the guilty
firms The percentage of aduIterants
found varied from 7.S7 per cent to
1929 per cent. In view Of the expo
sure made in this government report,
it is worth while repeating in these
notes suggestion, made some weeks
ago, that in cases where one wishes to
buy seed and cannot secure it of firm
which from a previous acquaintance he
knows is absolutely reliable it is far
safer and more satisfactory to pur-
chase only on the recommendation of
the United States department of agri-
culture or on that of his own state ex-
pertinent station. While they may not
recommend any special firm, they will
at least furnish you list Of firms who
are doing an honest business and from
whom it would be safe for you to pur-
chase such seed as you may need.
There is no phase of work connected
with farming operations that should re-
cefye more careful attention than that
involved in the selection Of grass seed.
Carelessness or penuriousness in the
matter of buying is usually fraught
with disastrous consequences.

NEW CORN AND HOG CHOLERA.


While there are many exceptions to
the rule and many freaks Of the dis
ease which cannot be accounted for on
any rational basis, the beginning Of
hog cholera epidemics seems to be more
or less closely associated with the ex-
cessive feeding of soft and immature
corn to the hogs during September, Oc-
tober and November. 1t is now agreed
by those best posted on the matter that
II the hogs are given a wide range on
some fall feed and given but scant ra-
lions of corn until it becomes dry and
hard much Of the loss which results
from this plague can be averted. In
d sense this stufing with new corn Is
but part of a system of feeding which
aims to get the pigs into the market
before they have a mature bone or
muscle in their bodies. It is clearly a
case In which If there were less haste
there would be less waste.

August the name of the month, is
accented OH the first syllable "Au-
gust the adjective, is accented on the
second syllable. This is due, no doubt,
to the fact that, though both started
from the Latin augustus they have
arrived by different routes. The adj
jective is the French "auguste," while
August" concentrating the Roman
emperor's title, is the French saout''
and the middle English "augst' OF
aust. July used to rhyme with
duly" even in Johnson's time, as IT
had done centuries earlier and as it
does In southern Scotland to this day.

The quality Of the milk varies with
the breed, period Of lactation and the
Individual and very little with the
feed. The fat content Of the FIRST milk
drawn Is about per cent and that Of
the strippings 8 to 10 per cent. For
this reason careful milking is Of the
utmost importance.
