Energy In Meat Foods,

In his recently published work DR..
Robert Hutchinson observes that en-
ergy is not to be confused with muscu-
lar strength. A grass fed cart horse is
strong; a corn fed hunter is energetic.
Energy is a property Of the nervous
system, strength Of the muscles. Mus
cles give us the power to do work; the
nervous system gives us the initiative
to start it. Muscles do their work upon
carbohydrates Starch foods, which
are the characteristic nutritive con-
stituents of vegetable foods; the brain
appears to require nitrogen, which can
only be attained in a concentrated
form from animal sources. If proteid
food, therefore, be regarded as a nerv-
GUS food, a rich diet in it will make for
intellectual capacity and bodily ell
ergy, and it is not without reason that
the more energetic races of the world
have been meat eaters.-Chicago Trib-
une.

Testing Farm Seeds.
BY M. L. Wilson, Assistant Su-
p%erIntendent Of Dry Farms,
Montana Agricultural College.

+ i. + j. + + + j. + i. !. !. + + !. !. !.
Now is the time. during the winter
season while work is slack and we
have plenty of time, to test the germi.
nation of the seed grains which are
to be planted next spring. Much OF
the oats which were badly frosted
last fall will not grow. The same is
true of frosted wheat; barley is prob.
ably more susceptible to this kind of
injury than any of the other cereals.
Grain which was stacked and heated
in the stack is apt to be weak in it's
termination. Poor filling and smut
will cause the same results. There are
many agencies which operate to lower
the vitality of seed grain, SO that it is
the best business policy for the farm
er to test his seed grain before he
sows it that he may know exactly
what he is doing.
In order that seeds may terminate
they must have heat, moisture and
oxygen. These three things must be
considered in making a seed tester.
Try to give the seeds conditions as
nearly as possible like those they will
have in the soil in the spring. Many
make the mistake of testing their
seeds at too high a temperature; this
makes them terminate better than
they will when planted in the open
field.
Many different methods may be
Dcod for foctino fho c@@1o Tho n-, -.
may take a pan, partly fill it with dirt
and plant the seeds. A cleaner and
more convenient way is to take a CT
gar box, put about ten thicknesses of
newspaper which has been soaked in
warm water in the bottom, then put
in the seeds and cover them with a
few ~thicknesses of old cloth which
has also been soaked in warm water.
Another method often used is to put
a couple of thicknesses of damp blot.
ting paper on a dinner plate, lay the
seeds on this, cover with more blotting
paper, then turn another plate upside
down over the whole. Set these test
ers where they will be warm, but nc
warmer than the living room.
IN testing SEEDS II Is Well to keeE
in mind the following points:
First-keep the seeds moist. They
are apt to dry out in the course OF
three O four days.
Second-Keep the temperature cool
rather than high. This gives the seed
rather adverse conditions and will
show up weak seeds more clearly.
Third-Don't use the same cloth or
paper twice. It is apt to become in.
fected with moulds.
Fourth-In counting out after the
seeds have terminated divide them
into three classes-strong and vigor.
GUS, weak and dead.
Fffth-Test your seed grain early
In the winter so that if you have to
buy seed there will be plenty of time
in which to select it.

manipulated like other metallic vessels.
As compared with that Of platinum or
quartz vessels, the cost is comparative

also be used for drying and heating
