BLOOD TOLD.

That blood will tell. even in the rails
ing of corn. was nicely illustrated in
the case of an Iowa grower who paid
$3.50 per bushel for his seed Mt the
time of the corn contest at the State
Agricultural college. To prove to his
own satisfaction the value of pure
bred seed over the best seed selected
from common corn, he planted the
pure bred seed-Reid's Yellow Dent-in
rows alongside the other corn. Both
plots had the same stand and received
the same cultivation and care. At
huSking time the pure bred corn yield
ed at the rate of Seventy-one and Il
half bushels per acre, while the scrub
corn gave a return of tifty-nine bush
els. a difference of eleven and a half
bushels per acre. Since a bushel of
corn will plant seven acres it is quite
clear that this amount of seed would
produce an increased yield equal to
seven times that on one acre, or eighty
and a half bushels. If this corn was
worth so cents a bushel. the bushel of
seed was worth in crop returns S40.25
more than the common corn. 1t would
be well for the corn grower to have
instances of this in mind when he pays
a long price for good seed corn next

A NEW MEXICO QUERY.

4 lady reader of these notes living
near Mountainair \. NJ. writes iuquiT-
ing if strawberries will grow and do
well in the rich chocolate soil of that
section and if they will need covering
during the winter. While the writer
is not acquainted personally with the
section in question, two or three gen
eral statements may be made which
will be helpful. In the first place, chloe
olate soil is usually as rich in fertiliz-
ing elements as any other and would
seem TO be all right for the straw
Gerry a more important cOnSidera-
ton would be sufficient moisture TO in
sure the growth of the plants and the
maturing of the fruit. and this would
have to be supplied by ditch ut needed
times if the rainfall were not sufficient
Cultivation should be given often
enough to keep the soil mellow and to
conserve the moisture. If during the
months when the plants were dormant
the mercury did not go lower than 10
above zero, the bed would hardly need
covering. However. in this connection
it is well to keep in mind the fact thar
it is not degrees of cold that kill berr.
vines, but alternate thawing and free
ing, and local conditions would deter.
mine to quite an extent the probable
danger from this source.

THE EVERLASTING RAT PEST.

Considering the enormous loss from
the rat pest placed at $100,OOO,OOO an
nually in this country alone, every
farmer and householder should do al
in his power by means of traps. poi
sons and any other devices to reduce
the number of the rodents to a mini
mum. That the war against them
should be unending is indicated from
their remarkable proliicacy, the adult
female producing an average Of ten
young ones to the litter and from
three to five filters in a season. One
of the best methods of slow poisoning
is one part of barytes mixed with
eight parts of cornmeal and stirred
into stiff dough and portions of it
placed where the rats will get hold of
it. This has an advantage over strych-
nine or arsenic in that after getting it
the rats have time to leave the build
ings in which they happen to be in
search of water Cage aud guillotine
traps, cats and rat terriers are also
effective aids in the work of destruc-
ton.

excellent credit and no indebted
ness. One county borrowed 81 900
and built steel highway bridge
with a wooden floor. The other
borrowed $3.50, and erected a
permanent concrete bri d ge.
Twenty-Five years later the cost of
the first bridge was as follows:
Interest on 81 900 at $50
Rehooring every five years,
four times ... 400
Repainting every eight
years, two times. . 100
This gives a total of So, 900,
which amounts to $50 per year,
and the 81 900 originally boz
rowed still unpaid, and must now
be increased to 50 900, or go with
out bridge. For the next TWEEN
ty-hve years the cost per year runs
500 more, by reason of the inter
est on the additional $1,000, and
the amount in debt is s., 900. At
the end Of fifty years the amount
will be paying at the rate of 5000
per year, and be in debt 81 900.
At the end of one hundred years it
will be paving at the rate Of $500
year and be in debt S., 900. 1t
takes no fnanCier to see that the
building of temporary steel or
wooden bridges will lead to bank
ruptCy or higher tax rates.
The county that erected the
permanent concrete bridge, cost
ing nothing for repairs or repaint-
ing, but costing one-third more
than the steel bridge in first cost,
would have charge of only S8I
for interest and Indebtedness,
which would never need to be IN
creased for that bridge.
In many places a properly de-
signed concrete bridge will COM
pete in cost with a steel bridge,
both Of the same loading capacity,
and the concrete bridge employs
materials and labor from the Coun-
ty, while the greater part of the
cost of the steel bridge is eXpend-
ei out of the county, thus the
money paid for the concrete bridge
is returned to the tax payer, and
the amount expended for the steel
bridge is a constant drain on the
tax payers.
If money can be borrowed at a
lower rate on the bond issue, say i
per cent, the showing is even more
favorable for the concrete bridge,
and the county can then afford to
pay 50 per cent more for concrete
than tor steel People in general
ought to take more interest in
these things, and one of the ways
OF obtaining information is to visit
industrial shows, in this case, the
cement show.
The next cement show will be
given in Chicago, from February
ISth-26th, in the Coliseum. 1t
promises to be the greatest of its
kind. There will be more than
three hundred exhibitors, and
much valuable information will be
distributed on concrete, especially
on bridges, residences, etc,
This is valuable opportunity
for farmers and highway commits
sioners to obtain reliable data on
any work they are going to do in
the coming year, and the displays
are interesting and instructive.

There came to the writer's attention
the other day the instance of a cream
cry patron who thought he would get
rich more quickly by mixing melted
tallow in the can of cream from which
the drivers sample was taken, thereby
increasing the test Of the cream nearly
100 per cent. This went on until the
suspicious Of the buttermakers and di-
rectOrs were aroused by the presence
of the cold, unmiXed tallow left in the
strainer at the creamery. One day
two quart sample of the doped cream
was turned over to the state pure food
inspector, who sent it to a chemist 80
analysis, when 90 per cent of the fat
it contained was found to be plain beef
suet, amounting to a pound and four
ounces. With this as a starter suit
was instituted and a fine of $50 and
costs levied. A little later the di-
rectors of the creamery compelled the
offender to pay back $500, the amount
estimated that he had received as re-
suit of the false tests. AS it turned
out 1t proved to be high priced tallOw,

worth the candle.

AS with child. the time for doing
most effective work in shaping the
character and type Of tree is at the
start. For this reason it is better to
purchase fruit trees that are a year
old rather than two or three years.
The low head. which is so highly priced
by most orchardists. is best secured by
cutting the young tree back to from
eighteen inches to two feet the same
season it Is set. This induces the
growth of sturdy lateral branches and
gives the trunk a stocky character
that is of great value in succeeding
years. Whether the tree should be
given the vase shaped open top or the
round and more close growing top

j. G. Imboden. a leading Illinois cat
tie feeder. in a recent address before
the Corn Belt Meat Producers assoc
citation advised his hearers as feeders
of cattle to buy the common kinds of
steers rather than high grades. as they
would be able to get them at about
their own prices since in the case Of
the grades he owner had too much to
say about tie price he received. While
not INTENDED as such. there seems to
be very excellent argument here for
the cattle raiser to produce the grade
and high grade steers rather than the
scrub as the call for them is so strong
on the part of buyers that there are
never enough to supply the demand.
This means that the price for this class
of steers will always range high
