A GOOD METHOD
OF TESTING SEEDS
Farmer Should Make a Most
Thorough Test of Them
Before Planting.

In the state course of study issued
by the North Dakota agricultural col
lege, the following directions are Civ
en- for testing farm seeds. An even 100
seeds are selected o. any given grain,
tested in the following manner: -
'Invert small pie plate in an ordl-
nary dinner plate, then pour a small
amount of water into the dinner plate;
place double cotton flannel cloth
over the pie plate wide enough to
reach from side to side and long
enough to reach into the water from
both sides of the plate. The cloth will
carry water to the seeds placed be-
tween the folds of the cloth as a lamp
wick carries oil, and in sufficient guam
tity to sprout the seed. Another din
ner plate should then be placed over
the pie plate and cloth to prevent too
rapid evaporation of the water. Seeds
tested in this way under ordinary tenn
peratures and care give better results
than they would had they been sown
in the field, where varying tempera-
lures, depths of covering, and moisture
obtained act as drawback to the full
termination of the seed. These facts
should be taken into consideration
when trials are made"
Seed testing is so simple that there
is really no reason why every farmer
should not make test of portion of
any crop that he intends to plant.
Many crops fail because the seed is
poor. Where a person tests the seed
before planting he has reasonable as
surance of just what he can expect.
Where the terminating quality OF
the seed is questionable and the fact
is found out in time it is compare
lively simple matter to reject it and
replace with other seed as compared
with the expense and difficulty of ma
king such change after the seed is
planted.

Good Roads Are One of the to Farmers IN

PIeasure-By A. j.. Sager.

1t is by the wagon ways that the
farmers generally pass from place to
place, for business or for pleasure,
and those wagon ways appear to-day
far worse than we should expect to
see them, with the great wealth and
advanced civilization the people have
attained.
The farming class, that has had
charge of the public roads for the
last 100 years or more, has been slow
to learn that the soil made by nature
through grinding or pulverizing rock
with some humus or vegetable matter,
when it is wet and mixed up, is mud
and when very dry and worn by pub
lie travel is dust, says a writer in
Hoard's Dairyman. For six months
out OF year, if an earth road is
properly constructed, with crowned
center for surface drainage and deep
side bitches for subdrainage, by add
ing a little new soil each year, or as
often as worn out, the earth or soil
season; then it will be out of commits
sion, as it is to-day. But if the road
engineers will go deeper into the bot
tom of the bitches after the subsoil
and surface the road grade after any
system, the perfectly crowned surface
will compact, and with a Trail road
drag to go over the road after long,
continuous rainstorm, the new subsoil
road material will coalesce and press
together in a compacted mass and
make the next quality to a sand-clay,
gravel or stone road for light traffic
on the less travelled crossroads.

Under the watchful paternal eye of

Miss Hancorne has been a student

Carlisle, Pa. and when she decided to
return to her California mountains
Supt. M Friedman at once began to
pave the way for a safe and pleasant

man put the two girls on the train

sent letters ahead of the girls to as
sure their accommodations on the
way.
Aside from her inexperience in trav-
cling there was little need of the fed
eral government taking such precau-
tons regarding Miss Hancornes jour

girl who speaks English perfectly and
bears herself with an Independent
carriage. If there is anything about
her to attract attention in a crowd it
is her striking beauty and the perfect
taste with which she dresses.

Inventions that bridge distance have
done the most for civilization" Lord
Bacon said: There be three things
that make the nation great and pros
perous-a fertile soil, busy workshops
and easy conveyance for man and
goods from place to place
Macadam defined the road as IAN
artificial flooring forming a strong,
smooth, solid surface, capable of car
rying the greatest weight, over which
carriages may pass without meeting
any impeachment"
Many failures have been made in
the building of sand-clay roads, and
the first cause of failure is the want
of perfect drainage. 1t is customary
to give to the sand-clay road a little
greater crown than is given to a mac
adam or stone or gravel road, espe-
cially where the grade is above three
per cent. If the subsoil upon which
the road is built is clay, it is impor-
tant that the bottom of the side
bitches should be Is inches or more
below the crowd or middle of the
travelled track The better the sur
face is cared for-i. e., the smoother
the surface is kept-the less the
crown required. The more level the
road, other things being equal, the
easier to travel on. II there is not
enough crown the water cannot easily
reach the side bitches, and hence the

road soon becomes water soaked. The
crown can be too great, so that the
traffic keeps continually in the middle
OF the road wearing the middle out
hollow and retaining the water until
evaporation takes place, instead of
shedding it into the bitches. Again,
If the earth is piled too high in the
middle the side slopes will be washed
into the side bitches, which not only
damages the road but fills up the side
bitches. The crown should be more
on steep grades than on the more
level portions, since on the grades the
line of steepest descent is not per-
pendicular to length of the road, and
consequently the water, in getting
from the center of the road to the
side bitches, travels obliquely down
the road grade, instead Of following
the track and washing the hill length
wise.
Another cause of failure is the want
of thorough mixing. There may be a
proper amount of sand and clay placed
upon the road, yet if it is not thor
oughly puddled and mixed to satura-
ton in every place the road is not
likely to withstand public traffic. 1t
will become loose in some places and
muddy in others. Such variations may
occur every few feet, and even at the
same place, one wheel track being in
loose sand and the other in mud.
Where this condition occurs more
good, tough clay should be incorpo-
rated in the first and more sharp sand
in the second section.
Frost is another cause of failure
and one more difficult to deal with
than any heretofore mentioned, and
should be treated, when the founda.

Failure is sometimes due to the

health and contaminate the milk.
Back of the long line of cows as they
stand in the neat, metal wided stalls

is continually swept and taken away.
In front Of the stall is another groove
in the cement floor, through which at
regular intervals runs stream OF
pure well water, till each COW has had
enough, and then it is shut off.
The food ought to be weighed out
to each cow, and not one ounce more
given than the attendant decides is
needful for a COW needs only to be
fat and contented looking, and this
is not likely to be the case II over
feeding is permitted.
Care in Feeding.
The right kind of material for food
will also be explained in detail by
this itinerant course Of lectures on
cow knowledge. Grains, corn sileage,
clover and alfalfa hay are the stuffs
that insure a good flavor to the milk.
The proper portions will be explained
in detail.
Sometimes it may become neces-
sary to decrease a cows allowance OF
one of the ingredients few ounces
to reduce the production of butter fat
or to add something to increase the
supply of milk.
In such manner as this virtually
everything connected with the cow
and it's production of milk can be
regulated along the lines which the
instructors will lay down.
Of course, the cow has to be allowed
certain amount of exercise in the
open fields, perhaps on average OF
three or four hours a day, but here
again the instructor will be to the
fore again with good advice, for he
will tell the dairymaid how to be sure
there is no deleterious substance
growing there, such as garlic.
Only one cow needs to eat garlic to
affect the entire milking, and they
are so partial to it, that only eternal
vigilance can prevent the indulgence.
In the ideal dairy shavings will be
used as bedding. They do not fill the
air with germ-laden dust For the
same reason all hay before being fed
to the COW is wet down with a hose,
thus preventing the dissemination or
the hay bacilli, which in dry hay fills
the atmosphere and is either inhaled
bv the COW or flies directly into the
the milk.
Grains are kept in compartment
separate from the barn, thus prevent
ing the dangers of their favors from
getting into the milk, and all crev1ces
which might become lurking places
for dust, thus aiding in the infection
of the herd from a tuberculosis cow
are eliminated.
Must Be Scrupuiously Clean.
