Free Seed Corn.

Why not quit raising scrub" corn?
Why not plant enough pure bred seed
this spring to supply you for the flu

between scrub" corn and pure bred
corn as there is between scrub"
steer and a pure bred steer. Pure
bred corn will produce much larger
yield per acre than ordinary seed.
Until further notice, the Farmer and
Breeder, published at Columbia, Mo-,
will give away free quart of pure
bred seed corn with every new sub
scription. A quart will plant quar-
ter Of an acre and give you all the
pure seed you need for future use.

Fake Poultry Farms.

AT recent meeting of the Boone
county poultry Association there was
discussion Of several fake poultry
concerns and breeders who have been
Swindling people in this and other
counties. Most of the swindlers pre-
tend to be proprietors of large poul-
try plants and breeders of all varieties
of poultry. They send out large il
Illustrated catalogues pretending to
give description of their big farms;
when in fact they are simply huck-
sters, who buy up culls and eggs and
then sell them away from home as
choice stock. One of the most sue
cessful of these fellows operates at
DesMoines, Iowa. II is said that
Missouri poultry Judge went up some
time ago to look over the FARM"
after making a thorough investiga-
ton he reported there was no
farm" but simply a few houses
leased, where poultry and eggs were
received, recrated, labeled and ship
ped. The proprietor is said to have
offered the Judge five hundred dol
lars to give noted poultry journal a
fake account Of the investigation. 1t
is said several of these husksters scat
tered over the country are operating
together, and are swindling many
uniformed persons, those who are
just beginning or trying to begin the
blooded poultry business. Those who
want stock that is reliable should be
careful where they put their money.
Better buy from people you know to
be in the poultry business and who
will give you good stock. Columbia

Senator Stephenson Asserts His
Cow Has Got Josephine Beat.

Washington, d. C. Feb.-Senator
Stephenson, of Wisconsin, says that
Missouri will have to start over again
as prize COW state. He maintains
that his Gertrude" has got Missouri
Univprsity's Josephine" excelled in
the ratio three Of a kind to two pair.
Both are Holsteins.
Senator Warner was boasting about
Josephine, having noticed an account
about her world-beating achievement
in Thursday Republic. Stephenson
overheard him.
'Huh!" exclaimed Stephenson, 'is
your cow much of a butter cow"
Butter cow!" shifted Warner.
"Why, look here (reading). IF her
milk had been churned into butter
Josephine would have produced three
and one-half pounds"
Stephenson dug into his inside
pocket for a letter from James T.
Torrey, manager Of the Senator's
farm near Kensha, Wis.
On Gertrude's best day last
week, :" Stephenson quoted from the
letter, " she gave nearly ninety-six
pounds of milk and four and nine
tenths pounds of butter Let that
cow of yours grow while, War
ner."
Senator Stephenson offers to match
Gertrude with Josephine or any 9TH
err ambitious cow.
In seven days Gertrude produced
6l3 pounds of milk and more than
twenty-six pounds of butter. The
Republics dispatch from Columbia,
Mo-, says Josephine in a week aver
aged forty-five quarts of milk a day.
A pint's pound the world around.
This would credit Josephine with
ninety pounds day, or $50 pounds
of milk in the week-some better
than Gertrude. Stephenson refuses
to stand for this mere estimate. The
exact figures will have to be given on
Josephine before Stephenson will adj
init that she can ever equal Gertrude
either as mich or butter cow.
