TESTING THE SEED CORN.

To grow q good crop of corn one must have first rich soil in which to plant the seed. A second condition. equally important, is such selection and testing of the seed as will elim- mate in the greatest degree possible aii weak. uniformed or infertile ker- ntls. The general test, used by so many, may show with fair accuracy W nat per cent of the kernels of giv
 en sample of shellCd corn will grow. but it gives absolutely no light on the most important pCint in such a test the elimination of those ears from which the poor seed was taken. The new method of testing the individual ears, and there are several ways C. doing it, has this chief poiQt in it's fa
 vor-that when the test is ready for inspection a glance at the kernels of a square in the testing box correspond ing to a given ear shows at once whether sub ,yci,:.,.5 lave sufficient vitality to justify the use of the ear for seed. The Holden testing box has been described in these notes before and need not be given again. Another device which is excellent and fol which a patent has been issued is an upright rack equipped with a series of little metallic testing boxes largo enough to accommodate five or six kernels of corn and attached to a spike or hook. by means of which they are secured to the ear from which the kernels are taken. Ordinary soil or sawdust is used to cover the kernels, which sprout under about the same conditions as they would out of doors in warm weather. The special meth cd by which the seed is tested is not so important as that both sides of an ear, including middle, top and butt, should be tested and that it should give definite data of the vitality and seed quality of each ear that is to be used for seed. Any other method is slipshod and Tn the end improbable.

CITY .NLLS.

There are all kinds of schemes afd devices pcr.ptrated by city scalawa-a for separating the residents of rural communities from their hard earned dollars. This is bad and blameworthy as far as it goes, but 1t is not to be mentioned in the same day of the week with that trade which is piled by devils in human form in the center of populations when they use all Embellishments in their power to de- lude the country girl and separate her from that which is so dear as life itself-her honor and purity. Such men-and women-ought not to be al- lowed to exist. But they do, and as long as they do it is well for the country lass not to be misled by allur- ing and enticing advertising announce ments, which give promise of large salaries at easy work for all country girls who will go to the city and make inquiry at such and such place. The only safe course to follow if a girl wishes to seek employment in a large city is to secure advice from a thoroughly reliable friend of the fami- ly who is acquainted with the condi- tions. Acting on this suggestion will often save heartache, heartbreak anG n blasted life.

A SENSIBLE COURSE.

One level headed farmer whose case came to our attention the other day. desiring to locate ultimately in the west, has sold his holding in the Mis- sissippi valley and has rented a small farm for a year near a good market town in Washington and will move there at once His idea Is that in this way he will have abundant opportuni- ty to look around, discount where nee essary the undue claims of overzeal- ous land boomers, see things without bias or pressure and after having done this make bis choice of a location which, in the many important respects which should be taken into account. Is nearest to his liking. It will cost something to carry out this plan, but the all around satisfaction which will be derived will more than comrens"Fe for the cost.

The undesirability of much land fin the semiarid belt of western states Is possibly due in some measure to the bad reputation which such lands have been given by men who wished to keep the use of large tracts for graz ing purposes. In some sections this bias has taken the extreme form of positive Encouragement and even in- inhalation of settlers who so much as looked at these grazing preserves with the idea that they might prove useful for agricultural purposes. At the same time it is well to consider that vast areas in the west can never be utilized to advantage for anything but pastoral or grazing purposes.

The grubs which are often found just under the skin on the shoulders backs and sides of cattle hatch from the eggs of the OK bottiy, which ar
 laid in the spring on the legs, heel" and Hanks of the animals and from these places are licked off by the tongue and taken into the stomach. Here they hatch. the little grubs grad ually working their way through the flesh of the animal until they reach the hide on the back, where their presence is indicated by Jumps or swellings, which open after awhile. the grub finally escaping as a full fledged botfiy, ready to repeat the process. The grubs may be killed by rubbing down the Jumps with round stick. Later, as the opening appears lard or oil will kill them. Sometimes they may be forced out by grasping the skin firmly between thumb and finger and giving a sharp pinch. ln such cases a little carbolic acid mixed with grease will hasten the process.

Nature has provided a delicate au- tomatic plan for the regulation of tho setting of fruit buds in certain varie ties of fruit trees. like the apple. l. consists in this-that the buds for the production of fruit one season are set, if at all. during the preceding sea son. Thus, if the tree has borne [ heavy crop of fruit and had Its vitali- ty considerably taxed, the fruit buds set sparingly, thus acting as a safe guard against the tree overbearins itself On the other hard, if the tree has had a layoff one season 1t usually sets full of fruit buds, the excess vi tality seeming to make this condition possible. In the case of tree that is sick or dying this rule seems to be violated in that all the waning vitali ty it possesses seems to be put forth in a blind ard pathetic effort to re- produce itself before 1t dies.

Two problems which are of vital in. portance to the present day farmer and which will be even more so in the future are a conserving of the fertility of his land and the more economical use of the byproducts of his farm. The first object may be largely attained by adopting some sensible system of crop rotation, coupled with stock raising and dairying. The latter may be achieved by a more economic handling of the corn crop, and this is possible by means of the silo. which. apart from the economy it makes possible furnishes the best possible ration fer dairy COWS and feeding cattle. Many farmers have realized this situation and have acted upon 1t. Thousand" more should realize it before time t. cut corn for the silo next fall.

The Principle of Stability.

The law-making power Is always
