IT'S YOUR KIDNEYS.
Don't Mistake the Cause ]of Your
Troubles.

Many people never suspect their
kidneys. If suffering from a lame.
weak and aching back they think that
it is only muscular weakness; when
urinary trouble sets they think it
will soon correct iaself. And so it is
with all the other symptoms of kid
ney disorders. That is just where
the danger lies. You must cure
these troubles or they may lead to
diabetes or Bright's disease. The
best remedy to use is Doan's Kidney
Pills. 1t cures all ills which are
caused by weak or diseased kidneys.
Residents of this vicinity are con-
stantly testifying to permanent
cures.

show than more than 30 kernels OF
corn out of 100 terminate, when tested
for their power of termination. Ne
braska is looking elsewhere for seed
that will grow, and the railroads are
sending bulletins to their agents to
warn the farmers in season for them
to procure seed.
Fortunately Minnesota is better off,
but whether she will have any seed
to spare will depend upon the tests

til the planting season is over. Hence
Minnesota farmers are in position to
supply a large amount of seed to their
southern brethren if their own tests
develop as well as the corn tested
for a few farmers at the station thus
far made.
The Minnesota experiment station
tests of individual ears, while not
large in number, show many 80 to 100
per cent termination, and a good
many tests show various percentages
varying from 25 to 20. There are So
many of these low tests that all the
corn may justly be looked upon with
suspicion until every farmer makes
his own test and knows exactly what
his seed will do. Farmers having 80
to 100 per cent termination seed will
find a ready sale for their surplus.
The Minnesota experiment station
recommends the following method of
testing seed corn: Take box SO
inches square, and from 4 to inches
deep. Fill 1t with sawdust, sand or
dirt. Moisten it well. Take piece of
sheeting large enough to cover the
top of the box Mark it off into two,
inch squares with lead pencil and
number the squares. This makes
S24 squares, or spaces enough to test
the seed ears needed for twenty acres.
Next, get three or four six-inch
boards. Divide them into 21s inch
spaces by driving ten penny nails
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1910-04-06

every 21a inches, and number the
spaces. Select what you regard as
the best ears. With a knife remove
ten kernels, one from each of ten places
on the ear, carefully avoiding the tip
and butt kernels. Place these ten
kernels from ear No. on the square
No. 1 in the box, and place the ear
back on space No. / on the board;
then treat ear No. in the same man
ner. Treat all the ears in this man
ner. Cover the box with damp cloth
and a little more sawdust, or sand,
or dirt, and set it away in a warm
place, as in a living room, and keep
moist, but not saturated. In or 6
days examine for termination. Roll
the upper cloth back carefully so as
to not disturb the seeds. Watch the
number of kernels starting and the
vigor of growth. If ten kernels sprout
in square No. in the box, it means
that the ear on Space No. / on the
board will terminate 100 per cent
If you find in any square in the box
only kernels sprouting, you may
know that only so per cent Of the seed
is terminating on the ear of the same
number on the board. Such an cal
is not good enough for seed, for nc
ear should be saved which terminates
less than 80 per cent. unless better
seed cannot be secured. In that case

Selection of Seed.

Selection of Seed.
Superior individuals may be select
ed from the bin of grain as well as
from the herd Of cattle. Individual
kernels of grain vary as much in abil-
ity 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, shrunk-
en- seeds from the weaker, less Wig
orous plants. That like produces
like" is well-known axiom in plant
breeding. The influence of heredity is
as strong in plant life as in animal
life. Improvements can be effected
only by eliminating the poorest and
breeding from the strongest indiyid-
uals. Hence there is as much rea-
son for selecting good individual seeds
of grain as for selecting good indi-
vidual animals.
Yields From Heavy and Light Weight
Seeds.
A plump, heavy kernel of grain will
produce stronger plant and nourish
it better than will shrunken, light

kernel. This fact has been demon
strated beyond doubt by testing the
yield from light and heavy weight
seeds.
The Nebraska Experiment Station
compared heavy and light weight seed
of winter wheat for two years by SOW
ing them side by side in the field, and
the heavy seed averaged 4.6 bushels
more per acre than did the light
weight seed.

per acre in favor of the heavy seed
and heavy wheat gave yield 36 per
cent greater than that Of light wheat.
Principles OF Separating Grain.
Being convinced of the value of
good seed, the question now arises.
How may farmer select good seed in
a practical manner? Every field or
bin Of grain has kernels in it which
differ in producing power. some are
good, some are poor. 1t is only the

grain can be well cleaned and the
small seeds screened out, but there
ii no way to get the light, full sized
seeds separated from the heavy seeds.
FOR this purpose the side shake mills
are preferable, as they are so ar
ranged that the grain can be allowed
| to drop several inches thru strong
wind blast. This blast blows the
lighter kernels over the end of the
screen and the heavy kernels fall on
the screen, which i coarse enough tc
! let the small kernels thru. Thus, only
the heavy and large kernels get into
the seed grain while the smaller and
lighter ones go into the market grain
