each time, these wires should be one
half inch apart. Now prepare some
small strips of wood three-eighths
inch In size and in triangular FORM
or three cornered, have these the
length Of the box and nail them to
the top side of cleats so that there
will be about five-sixteenths of inch
space between them; this size may be
increased II a corn with large kernels
Is used, but for the average size this
permits the small and uniform kernels
to pass this screen and retains the lar
ger grains, The second screen is to
take out all the small grains, and for
that purpose drive lath nails In the
bottom OF box or along the edges of
same on all four sides; these should
be about one-fourtn inch apart, de-
pending on the size of corn used On
these stretch fine wire In each direc-
ton so as to make a screen, or use
piece Of screening cut the size desired.
This, with the projecting board at one
side, completes the grader. 1t is
operated In the manner of any screen.
The corn is placed in the hopper at
the top, and the uniform and small
kernels readily pass through to the
second screen, where the uniform ker-
nels are retained and the small ones
pass through; the uniform kernels
coming out over the projecting board
into the basket, thus securing seed

Doctors in all parts of the country

homes. The symptoms of grip this year
are very distressing and leave the sys.
tenn in a run down condition, particu-
larly the kidneys which seem TO suffer
most, as every victim complains of
lame back and urinary troubles which
should not be neglected, as these dan
ger signals often lead to more serious
sickness, such as dreaded Brights Dis
ease. Local druggists report a large
sale on Or. Kilmer's Swamp Root which
so many people say soon heals and
strengthens the kidneys after an at
tack of grip. Swamp-Root is a great
kidney, liver and bladder remedy, and,
being an herbal compound. has gen

is almost Immediately noticed by those
who try 1t. Dr. Kilmer & Co., Bling

SEED CORN OF UNIFORM SIZE
Every Farmer Should Recognize its
Great Importance When Mechan-
ical Planter 10 Employed.

Every farmer should realize the i'm
portance6 of using seed corn that was
uniform in size when mechanical
planter Is employed; otherwise the
large grains will clog the machine.
thus resulting In its not planting many
hills before the operator can notice
same; the very small grains are sure
TO overplant, or put more kernels in
the hill than are desired, thus making
work In thinning them out. Where the
seed is uniform in size the stand of
corn will be the same; even and with
the same number of stalks In each
hill, which Is we'll worth the slight
extra labor in grading the seed, says
the Homestead. The simple little
grader Illustrated in this article, may
be built in few hours time and
with it there is no need to shell off
the tip of the ear, as these small
grains are taken out in the grading
as well as the large kernels, pieces
of cob, ETC. To build: a box is made

Rhubarb plants may be set out Ell

Every department of the farm must
be watched for leaks and waste.

Agriculture nowadays needs brains

There is no part of the farm which
will pay so well as little space de-
voted to asparagus.
Weeds injure growing crops by ap-
propriating the available plant food
and by removing water from the soil.

used will give a good yield Of grain

Turnips can be grown on wet land

After every heavy rain the ground

COST OF FARMHOUSE LIGHTS
Results of Experiments at PennsyIva-
MIA Station Show AcetyIene Is
Most Economical.

The Pennsylvania experiment sta
ton has made some experiments with
kerosene, gasoline, denatITed alcohol
and acetylene lamps to determine the
relative value of each form of light
ing farm houses, with the following
conclusions
"All kerosene lights without mantle
are of very poor quality, very unlike
daylight, hard on the eyes and hence
likely to produce pain and nervous
irritation and injury to health.
"Acetylene, gasoline and alcohol
l(the first one a naked flame and the
last two using mantles) give light Of
very much better quality than kero-
fsene, light which In the proportions
of the colors in its composition Is very
much more like daylight. A light Of
good quality can be obtained also
from kerosene by using mantle.
"By reason Of the very excellent
quality of acetylene light and taking
account of the eye injuries and pain
and the effects on general health, that
may result from the use of ordinary
kerosene light the former may be
truly much more economical than the
latter, Notwithstanding the greater
cost per candle power OF acetylene.
This 10 true, also, Of alcohol light
lfeyen at present prtces) by reason Of
its very good quality"
There is no doubt that the poor
light Of most farm houses contributes
TO some extent to desire Of the boy
lor girl to go to the city, where read
ing after dark is not an irksome task
for eye and mind.
