Adulterated Seeds.

1T is encouraging TO note the fall
Ing off In the trade of adulterated
seeds since the line of work report

culture was begun. The importation
of yellow trefoil seed and its subse-
1uent use as an adulterant of red
clover and alfalfa seed has practical

fiscal year 1908.
only one-half as many lots OF
orchard grass seed were found in
1905. when the last collection ol
orchard grass seed was made.
In 1905 only thirty-nine samples of
Kentucky bluegrass seed were found
TO be adulterated or misbranded. as
contrasted with 110 samples in 1907
Tho department VIII examine and

RUST ON STEEL.

An English woman is authority for

Some years ago corn was a
stranger" said Professor Hopkins.
We found it here when we came--a
native OF the country. yet, until fl
teen years ago we took It for granted.
Then a close study of its individual
ify and peculiar characteristics dem
onstrated that u was possible 10
breed up corn Just as We improve ami
mails, although we have not yet
learned how 70 control the male par
cnt. The importance Of this may be
appreciated when we remember that
the corn crop OF the country IL worth
billion and half OF dollars every
year, .250. 100000 bushels. We
are trying 10 get one ear OF corn 20

ing FOR. because some stalks are bar

people have various theories. But they
have not been demonstrated.

plant them exactly alike. three kerr
nels TO the hill. the kernals from each
ear In a row by themselves. in the
same exactly soil. cultivate them the
same way. and the yield will vary a
hundred per cent. We cannot ac-
count for that variation. IL is i'm
possible thus far to determine why
some corn viii grow and other corn
will not, but in planting. farmer
should always use the seed from the
best ears, because that is likely TO
yield more than the poor ears. But
every ear OF seed corn should be
tested by a terminating pan during
the winter. This Is a new thing, but
II is being introduced rapidly; all seed
men and the better class of farmers
are taking this precaution. None of
the big corn planters will use any
but tested seed.
we are teaching these methods
to our students by practical expert
ments conducted in twenty-five differ
ent counties of the State of Illinois,
as well as on the campus of the uni
versity. The results have been most
satisfactory and they are appreciated
by the farmers. We have a corn
breeders association In this State
composed Of twenty-five seed growers.
and they are all working earnestly
with us in breeding up the corn of
Illinois to the very highest quality

Trees should not be trimmed too

The hotbed must be located In
some well-drained place. A sandy
hill or knoll makes the most desir-
able position. The earth is cxcavated.
making n trench five or six feet wide.
two and half feet deep. and as long
as will be necessary to accommodate
the plants TO be grown. The trench
should extend east and west, so as
TO make II possible to get as much OF
the sunlight as can be had. If the
ground has tendency to cave in It
Will be more satisfactory to line the
inside of the excavation with boards,
which can be fastened to posts at the
corners and at intervals along the
side. These boards should reach
about ten inches above the ground
level on the south side and about two
feet on the other side, so as to give q
slant to the sash. The soil that was
thrown out can be banked against
these boards, when you will have
completed all that is necessary to do
at this season.
The sashes, which can be con-
structed indoors during the winter,
are usually made across the top of the
bed. allowing a few inches for pro-
lection on both sides. Bars are run
lengthwise of each sash far enough
apart to receive the panes OF glass.
which are fastened on with the ends
of the panes flush against each other.
IL the bars have ridge running
lengthwise on the upper surface, like
the cross bars of an ordinary window
sash, only more substantial, 1t will
aid materially in properly securing
the glass. These sashes can be stored
away and brought out when needed.
Horse manure makes the best ma
terial for filling the bed. II should
be piled conveniently near the bed
and gotten in shape by being forked
over until it is heating evenly
throughout. when It is ready for the
bed. In filling the bed trample the
manure well about two feet deep in
the trench. Upon the manure Is then
placed four or five inches of rich,
sandy soil. which has been kept where
1t will not freeze. The bed thus pre-
pared is allowed 10 stand q few days,
until the temperature OF the soil falls
below ninety degrees F.. as indicated
by thermometer. when the seed is
sown
II must be remembered that the
manure Just spoken of is not prepared
until about the last OF February and
other practices follow in order.
II no sandy. well-drained spot can
be had. the manure can be spread on
top OF the ground and the frame built
| around it. The heat cannot be so
well conserved by this method be-
, cause of the increased radiation. but
| where the manure is plentiful this
can be overcome by increasing the
bulk. The radiation can he hin
dered to certain extent by banking :
earth against the frame.
The small farmer has most OF TIE
materials about him for the con-
struction of a hotbed. and as the
time in which he can work It comes
