GIVE SEED MUCH ATTENTION
Importance Cannot Be overestinnated,
az Quality Has Great influences
on Yield Of Crop.

This is subject which has received
great deal of attention from
thoughtful persons but is still very
little considered y the majority.
Its Importance cannot be oyeresti.
mated for the quality of the seed has
great influence on the yield of tho
crop.
Every one likes to get bargains and
many think that bargains and low
priced articles are one and the same
thing while in the matter of seed low
prices and bargains cannot go to-
gether.
Take. for Instance. turnips. When
we see one man charging twice the
price quoted by another OF course the
higher priced is usually for new and
improved varieties. but we often find
difference Of price for one variety
One man may charge for seed which
only geIfninstes 80 per cent, while
another charges half as much again
for a seed terminating so per cent.
while another charges half as much
again for seed terminating IS per
cent. From this a calculation can
easily be made as to the amount OF
seed required. for It is the low ger.
mination that makes thick sowing
q necessity.
The high-priced seed is economy,
inasmuch as so many more seed ger.
inmate. When the farmer knows
that termination is poor he tries to
insure a crop by thick sowing. but
there are times when he gets seeds OF
poor termination without knowing It,
probably paying the full price for
good seed.
This should be sufficient reason for
testing seed. Considering the mum.
Der of purchases Of seed each year
there are a rldiculously small mum
Der of tests made. | know Of one In
stance where samples tested com
prised all the various crops grown on
the farm. In some crops the average
of samples was reasonably good. but
there were miserably poor samples In
practically every crop.

Boston Woman Says Bachelors Can

Look-Girls in College.

Boston. Mass.-Two momentous rid

women. They are:
How can you tell If man is a
bachelor?
Why is the college girl often more
unattractiye than her sister who stays

A Typographical Error
By JANE LUDLUM LEE

It's no use, Edna, the Lord never
meant me to be very happy In this
world. I'll have to take what can get
and be thankful"
Edna looked up with a bored ex-
preston. Some people don't deserve
even what they get"
The two girls were directly opposite
types. Eleanor was tall, graceful,
high strung, nervous, full of life and
energy. Her most attractive features
were her eyes. dark and deep set,
with longing, unsatisfied expression.
Edna was a type much less interest
ing, cold. phlegmatic and clear-sight-
ed; much smaller woman. too, witt
colorless gray eyes.
On the bed lay lingerie of the most
alluring kind. the sort of things that
only women can appreciate. Pile upon
pile of lacy stuffs were scattered
about the room. Negliges so attrac-
tive that one could almost wish for an
illness as an excuse to wear them. Sur
rounded by these pretty things that
women love, sat Eleanor Godfrey, who
tomorrow would be the bride of Tom
Grant
There's one thing I can never re-
greet" she said. Il told Tom every
thing before he took me. 1t was bru-
tally frank, 1 admit, to tell your fu-
ture husband that the best love of
your life has been given 90 another. -"
Poor boy" murmured Edna.
Poor boy. indeed Don't | have 20
live with him? Don't l have to see
him waste his life? And is it nothing
that l have to exc out an existence
crushing down my signs. forcing back
my tears?"
Walking across the room to where
Edna sat, she put her hands on pair
Of very unsympathetic shoulders

deeper in an instant.

The next morning was colorless, the
air heavy; in fact, just the sort of day
to make a bride look out of the win
dow and wonder If she really were
superstitious. 1t was about 9 o'clock
and Tom was whistling one minute
and singing the next He walked into
the bedroom where his friend and
best man lay peacefully sleeping
Get up, you lazy vagabond. We
can't keep the bride waiting, you
know. That's her privilege"
The best man rubbed his eyes,
growled bit, and finally crawled out.

cause the portrait of the notoriety

Corn for the Calf.

Corn and corn meal are carbon.

Cream is worth 20 TO 30 cents a
pound while corn is worth only about
a cent pound. hence the economy Of
its use. If corn meal Is fed with the
