The passenger train, which was
bound for Cincinnati, and had left
the union station at 1901 a. M, was
moving rapidly, and had just turned
sharp curve near the street inter-
section when the engineer sighted
the stock train, only few yards
ahead. After applying the emer-

man Of the passenger train feaped
from the cab, escaping injury.
No opportunity for escape was
open to the sleeping stockmen in the
cab0ose. The sound of the warning
whistle was drowned in the noise of
the crash as the heavy passenger
locomotive plowed through the ca
boose and three stock-cars.
| Fire added to the terror of the
wreck. and greatly hampered the
work Of rescue.

in Chicago was made up in Linton,
and when it left here last Saturday
consisted of seven carloads of cat

The seed from the selected heads Is
sown on a plot by itself the next
spring. Small grain Is not like corn In
that 1t Is normally self fertilizing. The
flower is inside the hull SO that the
pollen cannot get from one to the
other. The only way cross pollination
can be accomplished is by hand. Some
improved varieties have been produc-
ed in this way, but the operation is too
delicate and the results too uncertain
for the beginner Being self fertilized.
the only way small grain can be mixed
Is mechanically, by mixing the seed. 1t
Is not necessary that the breeding plot
be a considerable distance away from
the other fields, as In the case Of corn.
The produce Of this breeding plot
should be thrashed separately and used
for planting a larger field the next
year. The year after that there Will
be enough seed for the entire acreage

This method is simple and easily
worked out on any farm. The trouble

These individual head tests are car

height and freedom from rust and
other fungus diseases should be noted.
The rows in the breeding plot should
be four inches apart aid the kernels

have the conditions as nearly like

NMALL grain breeding is second
a only TO corn breeding in impOr-
lance Indeed there is even
more chance for improvement
along this line, since 80 little has been
done already. The average yield OF
oats in Iowa In 1868 was only twenty
three bushels to the acre. while many
fields yielded three times that much.
This is only one Instance out OF many
that could be given to show the great
need for improved seed.
With small grain as with corn. the
work Of Improvement must largely he
done for each special locality. Each
type of soil and climate affects the
crops in a different way, and varieties
that yield we'll in one part OF the coun'
try may fail utterly under different
conditions. This makes ii necessary
for each locality to have its small
grain breeder There is no opening
along the line of special farming that
offers greater opportunities To the am
bilious, young farLIer than this. Ihe
work is little m1re particular than
corn breeding peril ps. but the results
are lust as sure and the profits just as
great: Even though You may not care
td:dake DIP small Grain breeding as
business, it will pay YOU to carry it ON
to limited extent at least to provide
improved seed for your own use.
Selection the Basis of Improvement.
The requirements Of the various
grains vary with the use to which they
are to be put, but the yield is an i'm
portant point with ALL Selection Is
the basis for improvement in yield as
we'll as in the other points that will
be taken up later The first step Is to
select the variety that seems to be
doing best in your locality, and use
that as the basis of improvement. The
simplest method of breeding is to Sc
lect a few Of the best heads at harvest
time to start with. A great difference
will be observed at this time. Some
heads of oats, for instance, will con-
tain three times as many berries as
others not foot away. The seed
from these large heads. following the

the results will pay for all the trouble
even If you produce seed for your OWE

your new strain is once shown. how

In addition 10 the selection for yield

ease there are a number of othe:
points that should be considered
These depend 70 q considerable extern.
Old the use 10 which the grain Is to b.
put
In selecting oats the per cent OF hui
Is one Of the most important points t
look to. This varies from 20 to 30
per cent Of the entire weight. Since
Ost bulls are Of little more value than
straw, 1t is evident that the smaller
the percentage Of hull the more valua-
be the oats will he. A mere examina-
ton will show the difference between
a thick and a thin shelled oat. To &c
terinine the differences more exactly
it is necessary to weigh a hundred
oats or so on q fine balance such as
any doctor or druggist possesses, then
press out the hulls and weigh them
and calculate the per cent. The weight
Of oats to the measured bushel varies
rom twenty five to fifty pounds. The
heavy oats are Of course the most
valuable Nearly all grain elevators
have a small device for testing the
weight per bushel.
Another point to be considered Is the
| tendency to stool. In localities where
the summers are cool and late varie
ties can be grown. tendency to stool
