You will raise more chicks. If

throw it upon the ground. Feed

board.
Turkey eggs set this month

The May Farm journal SAYS
What you are going to miss most
when you move to town after
spending the greater part of your
life on the farm, is the neighbors.

forts. find many pleasures, but YOU
will never, never, be able to make
up for the dear old neighbors.
You re going to be lonesome, take
my word for it; and there will
never be any friends like the old
ones.
The farmer who plants poor
seed corn is brother to the man
who pours water in a rat hole, "
the Horse Editor of the Paris An
peal writes. President Brayton
Of the Corn Growers Association

and if he plants it in
ground that has been pre-.
pared well will be well on
his way to harvest of blue rib
bon ears. When it is known that
one ear of fertile seed means the
loss of several bushels of corn il is
positively amazing that so little
attention is given to tested seed or
that so many people plant indif.

meets every requirement"
