INSTITUTE CIRCULAR II
Clearing and GRADING Seed
Grain a Paying Pro-
position

Selection of Seed Most farmers
appreciate the value OF good live stock.
They select their best animals for
breeding and market the others. They
know good ANIMALS will give them
better returns and more vigorous
0ftsprings than will the weaker ones.
Few appreciate this same principle as
applied to the selection of seed grain,
and yet the principles are as applicable
and necessary to good grain raising as
to good stock raising.
A BIN of grain may be compared to
q herd of cattle, ana superior
individuals may be selected from the
bin Of grain as well as from the herd
OF cattle. Individual kernels of grain
vary as much in ability to produce
good or poor offspring as do individual
animals. The heavy. plump seeds
were produced IN most cases upon the
strongest and most vigorous plants,
and the light. shrunken seeds from the
weaker and less vigorous plants. That
like produces hke' IS well known
axiom In animal breeding, and the
influence of hered1tv is as strong In
plant life as in animal life. Improve
ment can be effected only by breeding
from the strongest individuals. Hence
there is as much reason for selecting
good individual seeds OF grain as for
selecting good individual animals.
Yields from heavy and light weight
seeds: A COW IN good condition will
give birth to stronger calf. and will
give more milk to nourlsh it than will
a COW In a poor and weak condition.
Correspondingly, a plump, heavy
kernel of grain will produce q
stronger plant and ncurish it better
than will a shrunken, light kernel.
This fact has been demonstrated
beyond doubt by experiments testing
the yield from light and heavy
weight seeds. The following table
shows the yields of winter wheat
obtained from light and heavy weight
seeds at the Nebraska Experiment sta.

acre in favor of the heavy seed.
There are two principles by which
gram can be separated in ordinary
tanning mills, namely, by weight ADD
by size of kernel. The average fan
ming mill will handle at this kind OF
cleaning about 40 bushels per hour.
At this rate in eight hours two men
can clean $40 bushels. This will make
the cost something less than one cent
per bushel.
With ''side shake tanning mill,
one can separate by weight as the
grain falls through the air blast. and
by size Of kernel as the grain passes
over the screens. This IS the better
separation as it gives one the heaviest
and plumpest kernels. With an lend
shake" mill, the separation can be
made only by size Of kernel. Either
method is much better than no separa.

Takinu Care of Yourself.

There never was a time when peo-
pie paid as much attention to their
health and strength as they do now.
Time was when fine stock and fine
horses were fed more carefully than
human beings.
The result of properly balanced ra-
lions has worked wonders with stock
and recent experiments are proving
that the same thing is true of man.
kind.
1t has been found that Quaker Oats
eaten often and regularly taking the
place of heavy, greasy foods will work
wonders in the health and strength of
a family.
School children fed frequently on
Quaker Oats thrive physically and are
always capable of the best work at
school. For athletes, laborers, it is
the best food.

this national courtesy often provokes
embarrassment. Sir Spencer, who is
a gallant old bachelor, was prom
