SEED IMPROVEMENTS.
Practical Work Being Done To
This End

AANtltuA NOIA DeIuX Zone 10
This End.
The work OF increasing the per acre
yield of crops grown in Maine through
the careful selection, bre eding and dis
semination OF superior strains OF seeds,
is about to receive the attention which it
deserves.
AT the Last session OF the legislature the
commissioner Of agriculture was directed
to assist the farmers of the State in
this special work, and an appropriation
was made for carrying it on. 1t is pro-
posed very soon to call meeting OF such
farmers Of the State as may be interested
in seed improvement work OF any kind, at
which time the advisability OF organizing
an association for the purpose of directing
this work will be considered.
1t is believed at this time that this work
can best be taken up in cooperative
way; hence an association will be formed
along the lines Of those that have already
been so successful in other parts Of the
country. With the cooperation of the
department Of agriculture, the Maine
experiment station and a representative
OF the department OF agriculture, WASH
ington, d. c., who is located in this State,
an association OF this kind ought to meet
with profitable results.
The immediate benefits coming to the
members can be classed under two heads
educational and financial. While the
financial benefits would undou btedly in
terest the members more particularly at
first, yet the educational features OF the
work are OF great Importance. Where
association work has been carried on,
members have received great financial
benefit through the sale OF the seed they
have raised. This seed, having been
carefully bred and possessing large re-
producing qualities, has met with ready
market for seed purposes. 1t can readily
be seen II experiments are carried on year
after year and an improvement in crop
yield is caused through these experiments,
that the seed raised by various members
will carry an added selling value for that
purpose.
The educational value OF the association
" i'll come through the results OF the ex-
periments conducted and the lessons
learned in this work. 1t is planned to
hold an annual meeting, at which time ex-
hibits OF seeds, grains and grasses will be
made and lectures upon subjects OF i'm
portance to the men engaged in this par
ticular line of work will be given.
The department OF agriculture is pre-
pared togive assistance in the organiza-
tion and direction OF an association so far
as is desired. 1t will also be prepared to
furnish to the members experimental lots
OF different kinds OF seed to test out in
comparison with the seeds they are
already using.
A meeting for organizing this association
will soon be called at some central point
in the State most easily reached by those
men who signify their intention to be
present. II you are interested in this
proposition, kindly write at once to the
state dairy instructor, Augusta, stating
that fact and giving your address, SO that
at the proper time notice OF the call of
the meeting may be sent you.

The "pure food law is designed by the
Government to protect the public from in
furious ingredients in both foods and drugs.
1t is beneficial both to the public and to the
conscientious manufacturer. Ely's Cream
Balm, a successful remedy for cold in the
head, nasal catarrh, hay fever, ETC., containing
no injurious drugs, meets fully the require
ments OF the new law, and that fact is promi-
nently stated on every package. 1t contains
none Of the injurious drugs which are re-
quired by the law to be mentioned on the
label. Hence you can use 1t safely.

Hen feathers answer well for pillows,
cushions, or even for beds, If the sharp
quill ends are removed. The easiest way
to do this is, after the chicken is killed,
and before picking it, clip off with pair Of
sharp scissors all the desirable portion OF
the feathers. This is quickly done and
