are exactly like your father, "
etc., ad nauseam, through all
the nerve racking catalogue of
nag.
And then these mothers honest
ly wonder why their children are
reduced to a state of sulky ir-
ritability. Such mothers never
seem to take into consideration
the fact that children are the
most sensitive beings in the
world and that their whole ex-
perience is made up of small joys
and small sorrows that can make
life a misery to them.

Mule Beats Alarm Clock.

Jeff Clark, a Bath county far

part of an alarm clock every
morning with such regularity that
Clark has about discarded the

to part with the animal. Prompt
ly at A o'clock this mule kicks
the side of the barn four times
in succession. At first Clark
thought the animal i'll, and for
several mornings he got up and
investigated. He took note, how
ever that the gong of the alarm
clock started buzzing when the
mule started kicking. He put

Points for Mothers.

When one talks of a nagging
wife it is generallg to refer in
plying terms to the man whom
she married. Much more to be
pitied, however, are the children
of the marriage. A man can
endure much and find remedy
in retaliation. But sensitive
children shrink from the con-
tinual fault finding and suffer
in silence.
What makes matters worse
for the little ones is that there
are many women who are re-
garded b y their husbands as
model wives, but who on &C.
count of their thoughtlessness
toward their children are really
not all good mothers.
In fairness to many mothers
it must be said that they unwit-
tingly fall into the habit of nag
ging their children. The tire
some ways of the latter seem
more than they can bear at
times, and the result is that they
are apt to forget themselves.

Feeding Young Chicks.

One of the most important
factors of the poultry culture is
the rearing of the young chicks,
The largest proportion of the
losses In rearing chickens is due
to improper feeding. Although
there is one step farther back
than this which means much to
successful chicken culture, and
that is the breeding stock. The
chicks must be from healthy,
vigorous parents. Too often the
farmers and amateur poultry
mans flock is inbred until the
vitality is very low and of course
healthy chicks cannot be expect
ed.
At the very start many make
the serious mistake of feeding
the chicks too soon, especially
when with hens. If you want to
feed the hen, feed her corn or
something the chicks can't eat.
For best results the chicks
should not be fed for thirty-six
or fortyeight hours after they
are Matched, as before this time
they need no food. 1t requires
about this length Of time for the
assimilation of the yolk of the
egg which is still unabsorbed in
the newly Matched chick.
The first feed should be COM
posed of oatmeal or d-bOiled
eggs and dry bread crumbs. The
egg shells should be chopped up
fine with the mixture. Let them
have all they can clean up in 20
minutes. Water should be at
hand at all times. If you haven't
a water fountain, turn a teacup
upside down in a saucer. Give
them sweet milk once or twice a
week. After A or 5 days give
prepared chick food. Fine grit
should be before them at all times
at this age. If confined, feed
lettuce, etc. Plenty of exercise
is very essential. Clean brooders
and coops each morning. Disin-
feet with sulphur once each
week.

seed should be tested for termination
this year before planting. The early
frosts of last October and November
injured a large amount Of the seed be-
fore it was ripe. AS a result, there is
likely to be much shr1veled and imma
ture seed put on the market this spring.
Under exceptionally favorable condi-
tions some of this shriveled seed will
germinate. Under ordinary field con-
ditions only small percentage of it is
likely to grow Those injured seeds
that do germinate and grow cannot pro-
duce strong and healthy plants. They
yield small and sick1y plants that are
unable to combat successfully with any
adverse conditions.
To Test Seed.-TalSe any shallow box,
which need not be more than three
inches deep, two feet long, or one and
a half feet wide. This will be large
enough to hold about two inches of sand
in the box. Then count out 500 velvet
beans Distribute them evenly over the
surface of the sand and cover the seeds
with sand to depth Of about an inch.
Moisten the sand thoroughly. Set the
box in warm, sunny place.
It should be looked at every day to
see that the sand is kept moist, but not
soaked with water. Ten days after plac-
ing the seed in the box count all that
have sprouted. Divide 100 times the
number of sprouted seed by the number
of seeds placed in the box, the quotient
will be the percentage of termination
For instance, if 500 seeds are placed in
box and 800 germinate, divide 10000
by 500, the quotient is 90, or 90 per cent.
of the seed terminated.
When taking the sample of 500 seeds
to put in the tester, care should be
taken to get a uniform sample from the
bulk of seed to be tested. That is, do
not choose only large plump seeds, but
take them as they come, broken, shriv-
e1ed, or immature.
The testing of the seed before plant
ing may mean the difference between
the failure and success of the crop. 1t
will save the extra labor of replanting.
AS rule, replanting is not satisfactory
because, if the land is not plowed be-
fore replanting, it gives the weeds the
start of the crop. If only the missing
places are filled in, the crop is uneven
in growth; while if the missing places
are not filled in, a full crop will not be
secured.
The results of testing 1000 velvet-bean
seeds at the Experiment Station, taken
just as they came from the huller, gave
583 per cent termination. The sample
included broken, shriveled, immature
and also good plump seeds. Of 1000
seeds placed in the tester, 583 or 58.3 per
cent. terminated but soon died. Had
this seed been recleaned, and all broken
and shriveled seed thrown out, the per-
centage of termination would have been
considerably greater.
Ve1vet-bean seed that shows less than
so per cent termination should not be
used. Seed that shows from so to 50
per cent. termination and gives that
amount of strong, healthy seedlings
