but little time and no expense and it
is the height of folly for farmer to
plant seed and go to all the expense
necessary to accomplish that work,
without first knowing what kind of
seed he is planting
After the seed corn has been Sc
lected and has passed all of the in
spections which show that it is per-
feet to the eye, a further inspection is
necessary for terminating quality.
This can be done only by using a
seed tester. Such an implement can
be readily made by anyone on the
farm.
An ordinary cigar box, with two
inches of sand in it will make an ex
cellent seed tester. When ready TO-
testing, the sand in the box should
be thoroughly wetted, enough water
being used to cover the sand. Hold
it in TINS position four or five minutes,
then wet muslin cloth and we are
ready to set in place the kernels to
be tested. After the ears have all
been numbered, we may begin with
ear. No. l, and remove one kernel
about two inches from the tip, and
another kernel about two inches from
the butt; then by sticking them in
pairs into the sand, we will have
this ear ready for testing Follow
the same method with the second ear.
and so on, until the kernels from ten
ears are placed in the first row. By
counting down the rows, and noting
the kernels that have failed to ger
inmate, We will have no difficulty in
locating the bad ears.
After the seed tester has received
Eli of the kernels that can be planted
conveniently, place over the kernels
the wetted muslin rag. This seed
tester should then be placed in the
kitchen or any other warm situation.

MAKING PROFIT IN TOMATOES
Secret It Inducing Vines to Bear Album.
dance Fine Red Fruit Is to Cut
Away Bieeders.

Not all who raise tomato vines In
abundance pick abundance of toma'
toes. Last year there were many who
had prolific vines who picked no to-
matoes. The cause was simple, writes
Frank E. Ward of Lawrence, Kan, in
the Kansas City Star. In the wet.
cool spring the vines grew to an un-
natural size. Then there was not root
enough to make fruit in the hot
" weather.
Wet and rich soil causes bleeders to
sprout from the crotch between the
leaf and the main stalk or trunk. If
those are allowed to grow they be-
come many feet long and there will be
but little fruit If they are pinched off
as soon as they appear, say once a
week, the excess growth will be forced
into the fruit and it will be ready to
ripen as soon as the sun is hot.
Should the bleeders grow unnoticed
until three or four leaves are develop
ed 1t Is better to pinch off the small
points and thus stop their growth,
lhaH " cut away IHe WuOle Uleeuer.
When a cluster of buds form on a
branch which is not near the main
trunk the small end of the branch
should be pinched off to prevent the
leaves robbing the fruit In that way
the vines are kept within bounds. You
will see by this that the fruit lateral is
not to be mistaken easily for a
bleeder
The above sytem of pruning is not
original with me- 1t is used by many
with favorable results. In my gar
den of clay soil, 30x50 feet, last year

He thought it strange, but nothing
did happen. The ship remained poised
gracefully Oh one toe, as it were. Then
he learned that this was no unusual
occurrence.
He found that the ships list was
due to the unloading of cargo from
one side, and that this was done pur'
posely to facilitate the unloading.

Joseph Chapman, Jr., of Minneapolis,
Declares Her to Ee Menace to
Agricultural Prosperity.

Chicago.-"The city girl who goes
into rural communities to teach is a
menace to the agricultural future of
the nation. She strikes at the back
bone of the country's prosperity.
From her position on the rostrum
Of the little red schoolhouse the
teacher from the city turns the
thoughts Of her boy pupils into other
channels than those leading to the
raising Of cattle and corn. The soil
will be remedied by the passage of
the consolidated rural school bill now
before the Minnesota legislature"
Joseph Chapman Jr., vice-president
Of the Northwestern National bank of
Minneapolis, pictured the city girl in
this new role in a talk His views
were expressed in a discussion of the
subject of agricultural Education
and Vocational Training" at the week
ly luncheon of the ways and means
committee Of the Chicago Association
of Commerce in the La Sale hotel
'The present system of education
trains boys away from the farm"
said the speaker. LAS a result of this
influence on his mind at a critical Pc
riod, the boy fails to see later the
possibilities that lie in the scientific
development of farm land, and, believ-
ing his, future lies in the city. soon
deserts the life of tilling the soil"
In the establishment of agricultural
high schools Mr.. Chapman sees the
only hope Of overcoming the preju-
dice against the farm and in getting
out of the soil what it really owes to
the country. He advised Illinoisans
to take heed Of the situation.
Ten agricultural high schools
were provided for in Minnesota two
years ago. he said "In a canvass OF
the state we could not find enough
teachers to man the schools. We had
to go to Iowa, Wisconsin, Nebraska
and other states, six states in all, to
get teachers. Ten more schools will
now be established.
We must turn back to the soil
Keep close to the drift we are to
continue as prosperous nation. In
the rural consolidated schools agricul-
tire is going to have it's place"

By no means the smallest source of
net profit is the manure.
Oats should be sown early, just as
soon as the land can be made ready.
Lime from the sugar beet factory is
a very valuable product for the soil.
More profit can be made on one
acre of onions than on ten acres Of
corn.
Long straw manure should be piled
and each layer plastered so it will rot
quickly.
1t is a good plan to shorten the tops
of cabbage, cauliflower, onions and
similar plants when they are trans
planted.
Potatoes produce wonderful crops
in proportion to the amount of seed
planted.
Every garden should have a few
of the aromatic herbs for seasoning

THE ALARMING PREVALENCE
OF ECZEMA
Finds Victims Among Every Race,
Age and Condition.

Of all the diseases of the ska and
scalp which torture and distlgure man
kind, three-fourths are ecZematous.
Millions are born with eczema, and it
is the only thing other millions have
left when they die. Neglect in Infancy
and childhood, Irritating conditions af-
fecting the skin, ignorance of its real
nature, improper remedies and many
other causes that might be mentioned
have created an eczema which, with
varying severity, has afflicted count
less numbers during their entire lives.
Eczema is skin disease. 1t is not re-
garded as hereditary, nor contagious,
and is impartially distributed among
the rich and poor, the high and low.
The agonizing itching and burning OF
the skin, causing loss of sleep, is usual
ly the most distressing symptom and is
caused by the bursting of little vasicles
filled with an acrid fluid, which burns
as with fire the denuded skin. New
vesicles form, fill and burst, scales
form upon scales, and crusts upon
crusts until Disagreement is added to
torture.
One of the most successful treat
ments for eczema, whether applied to
the youngest infant or the oldest per-
son, is hot baths with Cuticura Soap
and gentle anointings of Cuticura oint-
ment. For more than a generation,
these pure, sweet and gentle emolli--
ents have proved the most efficient
agents in the speedy and permanent
relief Of all forms of ecZemas, rashes,
feelings and irritations of the skin and
scalp. Although Cuticura soap and
ointment are sold by druggists and
dealers everywhere, in order that
those who have suffered long and
hopelessly and who have lost faith in
everything may make trial OF them
without charge, a liberal sample of
each will be mailed free to any adj
dress, together with a 32-page pamph-
let, giving description and treatment
of the various forms Of eczema, as
well as other affections of the skin,
scalp, hair and hands-send to "Cuti-
cura," Dept. w, Boston.
