lie In sssds, % Keep Yours Clean

OF all things that q farmer should
do and Of all things that he usual
~ does not do until the day before
seeding commences. II he does it at
all. is the cleaning and grading Of his
seed grain. says the Iowa Homestead.
Putting 1t OF il easier than doing 1t,
90 a great many Of us put it of. espe-
cially where We own no mill Of our
own We do not realize that it would
be a good Investment for us to buy one
and do not feel like asking a neighbor
for the loan or use Of his mill.
But cleaning and grading seed grain
do pay. 1t would pay dollars for
every hour spent at the actual labor Of
using the mill. besides 81 an hour for
the use Of the mill. This may seem
like setting it pretty high. but think
a little. Take into consideration the
fact that a small. wrinkled. shriveled
kernel Of grain produces. If it produces
anything. only a small. weakly. spin
ding plant. This plant may live through
the season and produce its like or 1t
may die early in life and be replaced
by weeds or grass. In any case we
should be having strong. hearty.
healthy plant growing where the sick
ly. spindling specimen grows. and the
only way to be sure of it is to grade
the seed we sow-to take out the small.
shriveled kernels and SOW only the
plump, heavy ones.
Almost any one is ready to admit that
We grow too many weeds now without
deliberately sowing more seed Of such
pests with our small grain, but we &C.
tually and deliberately do SOW weed
seed that we would like mighty we'll
to get rid Of when we SOW grain just
as the thrasher cleaned It A little
cleaning with good mill always sur.
prises one by taking a lot Of weed and
bad grass seed out Of what we think
is very clean grain. while grain that
we admit is too dirty to SOW seems
simply to dissolve itself into half weed
seed and trash in going through mill.

Has Your Horse the "Shivers7"
A horse with the 'shivers" is
mighty uncomfortable creature and is
always an easy victim to the influenza
bug. Perhaps the stable is damp or
drafty. More likely it is lacking in
ventilation and no purifying rays Of
sunshine reach its interior. In such
case the stock breathe over and over
again the same air. their blood be-
comes starved for oxygen. and the cir
culation is impaired.

w GTON.-Corrugate battle
w ships will be the subject Of tests
this winter by Naval Constructor Da-
vid w. Taylor, on duty in the bureau
OF construction and repair, in the ma
val testing tank at the Washington
yard. Four vessels for the merchant
service have been built in England on
this plan. Two outward curves, %
inches deep, run the length Of the
ships between the load line and the
bilge. Between the convex curves is
a concave surface of equal depth.
This partial application of the tube
principle greatly increases the
strength of the hull. So much
strength is added that the stringer
plates may be dispensed with. This
increases the space available for bulk
cargo. In addition, however, 1t is said
that the corrugated hull saves fuel
and lessons the effect of waves on
the steadiness of the ship.
English reports indicate that a cor
rugated hull win save .16 per cent. in

DEAD JAPS ON SHIP

Luckily saw a rope hanging over the
side and got hold of 1t, or I'd never
be in New York or any other earthly
harbor this day. Finally. with one
last awful effort, / drew myself over
the side and fell in a heap on the

was blooming puppy dog what had
been licking the side of my face. That
there pup was Banzai.
We'll, sir, had come aboard into a
pretty mess. The vessel was a one

fellow was curled up like a fellow
who fallen asleep and had tried to
keep himself warm by rolling into a
ball.
Il went down into the cabin and
there stretched out on the floor were
four more Japs. 1t certainly gave me
the creeps to look at them. They all
had the same CHASTITY expression on
their faces and the same wild look
in their eyes as the fellow up on deck.
/ looked about expecting to see signs
Of struggle. but everything was as
ship shape as could be.
The more looked at those dead
men the more the idea stuck to me
that they had seen something that had
literally frightened them to death.
What it was you can guess as well as
me. I've often tried to figure out
an explanation Of those dead Japs.
but it's beyond me. The bodies were
in good state of preservation, so
the men couldn't have been dead long.
We'll, the first thing did was to
heave those Japs overheard.

days and then late one afternoon I
sighted a steamer low down on the
horizon. Then I saw the steamer BE-
ginning to slow down. l ran ND a
close as Il could and they lowered
away a lifeboat to reach my ship. AZ

up Banzai and jumped into the
boat and was taken to the steamer.
