AN IRISH FOLK TALE

There is no humor in the world so
wonderful as Irish humor- it's like
the little flexible fiageolet of Svengall,
which could transform the humblest
songs into the rarest beauty without
altering note. "Killboghan and
Kilboggan' Herminie Templeton' S
story in the OCTOBER McCLURE,S,
is the tale of some Irish peasants
and their pig. So human are all the
characters-even the pig-and so
seductive is the absurd, nonsensical,
delicious merriment of it all, that
one would recognize the inimitable
Celtic touch in it if one had never seen
shamrock leaf. 1t is one of the best
expressions of folk life that Nc
CLURE'S has ever published equal
of its kind to the best songs and
legends of Yeats.

DAIRY NOTES

Mistakes will not be made before and
after calying. When the cow is dry
her feed should consist largely OF
bran or oats; Or a mixture
of bran and good grain ration be-
fore calving. Keep the cow quiet
just before and after calving. Give
her box stall if possible at the time
the calf is dropped.
To prevent leaking of milk immedi-
ately after milking, wipe the teat dry,
and with small brush apply to its
end small quantity Of colodion that
may be had at the druggist. This
at once forms a thin rough membrane
or skin which prevents leakage and
is easily removed before milking.
When cows are stabbed to stand face
to face they become restless and ner
vous.
A kicker is often the result of /;
first milking by one who cannot holt
| his temper.
If calves are kept for dairy uses
see that they have all qualification
| for a place in the herd.
J Fat is not desirable in dairy call

TEST YOUR SEED.

The time to test the seed you expect
to plant is now. Do not wait until
planting time to make the test and
find that some of your seed are worth
less for planting, and be handicapped
in securing seed Of good vitality. Test
the seed of all the grains that you
expect to plant so that il any are
found below profitable percentage
OF termination you may secure other
seed and test that also. Many farmers
have learned the value of seed test
ing by costly failures, in some in
stances the entire crop being lost and
in others the amount OF yield being
below the profit line.
The process of testing seeds is such
a simple operation that any one may
conduct a test successfully A couple
of dinner plates and some pieces of
cotton flannel, blottlng paper or alb
sorbent cotton with clean water for
moisture, and the apparatus is pro-
vided The plates and material used
for moisture carriers should be steril-
lied to destroy any mold spores or
fungi they may contain. Upon an up
turned plate place a layer of moist
ened cotton flannel On this lay the
seeds to be tested, of the small grains
a hundred or more, and half the mum
Der Of corn. Over this place another
moistened strip and cover with a
similar plate. If more than one va
riety of seed is to be tested at one
time another strip may be laid on tol
of the first set, the seed placed and
covered as before, using two pieces OF
cloth for each variety. This gives the
seed an aerated and more or less
sterilized terminating bed. Set the
plate in a somewhat darkened place
where temperature of 20 to so degrees
r. during the day and less than 81
The independent. [volume] (Lincoln, Neb.) 1902-1907, 1906-04-05
Agricultural Department

degrees f. during the night, may be
maintained The length Of time re-
quired for termination will depend
largely upon the nature OF the seeds,
from six to ten days usually being re-
CURED With alfalfa and certain
others of the clover family, a small
percentage of the seeds will remain
apparently sound at the close of the
test. An allowance is usually made for
these, counting 1-3 as capable OF
growth. Where only a small percent
age of the seed fails to terminate the
grower may provide against a poor
stand with heavier seeding. Where
the percentage of gernination is very
low, the indicated vitality OF the germ
mated seed will also be found below
normal and ii is advisable to procure
new stock of seed.

ROTATION OF CROPS

Rotation Of crops is the most prdc
tica and powerful means Of combat
ting the insect enemies of corn. The
losses each year are something enOr
NOUS
When the enemies have taken pos
session of our cornfelds there is no
immediate remedy. The insects will
take the corn in spite of us and we
must take our medicine" We are, in
most cases, simply reaping the perfect
ly natural consequences of our own Or
our neighbors bad methods of the
past.
1t is most fortunate, indeed, that
that system of rotation of farming
which will give the most profitable
return from each acre and for each
days labor under normal conditions
in the Central West, even is there
were no insect enemies, is also the
system which will most successfully
combat those enemies.
Continuous cropping with the same
crop is vicious. 1t means dependence
upon the success of one crop, and lack
Of distribution of labor. 1t means
j poor soil and poor physical condi-
| ton of that soil, and consequently
poor crops and favorable conditions for
| the development of the insect and
:, fungeous enemies peculiar to that
crop.
| In making careful study of the
conditions throughout the corn belt
| last summer, it was very apparent.
First, that little or no damage was
! being done to the corn crop from in
sect enemies where the farmer prac-
ticed good system OF rotation of
crops, and this was especially true If
his neghbor also had an equally good
| system of rotation. Second, that the
reverse was almost invariably true.
Third, that corn continuously on the
same ground was almost always ceri-
ously damaged by the corn root worm,
and generally by the corn root louise
The independent. [volume] (Lincoln, Neb.) 1902-1907, 1906-04-05

Winter food for calves should be clo-
yer, hay oats and BRAN
When calves are developed as they
should be there will be no trouble in
breaking the heifer to milk.
1t is a bad investment in buying
poor cows. They will never meet
your expectation nor give satisfaction.
Sell your poor cows and begin anew
with good stock. Too many farmers
do not appreciate the difference be-
tween good and poor cows as they
should.
Now is good time to buy improved
stock, SO get started, and let your
scrub calves, colts, swine, sheep and
poultry go at any price, and see that
they are the last scrubs ON the farm
The independent. [volume] (Lincoln, Neb.) 1902-1907, 1906-04-05

truck would likewise be benefited by
such soil. Then there are such as late
cabbage, parsnips, beets and other
slow growing plants that would be
better on a heavy soil with a north
slope.
The garden soil should be rich.
Fine, well-rotted manure will give
richness and humus. If the sand nit
is handy, the farmer could haul
few loads when not busy and scatter
that over portion of the garden if
it needs warming up. BY all means
keep the soil in fine filth, so wheel
hoe will work easily. Poultry and
sheep manure are very good for the
garden. Coarse manure, or weed
stalks half plowed under an an abom-
nation and cause much loss of time
and crops
