FOUNDATION OF CROPS.
Lies IN Seeds, So Keep Yours Clean
and Well Graded.

Of all things that farmer shouId
90 and OF all things that he usual
~ does not do until the day before
seedlng commences. if he does it at
ali. Is the cleaning and grading Of his
seed grain, says the Iowa Homestead.
Putting it off is easier than doing if.
- great many of us put it off. espe-
claily where we own no mill of our
own. We do not realize that 1t would
De good investment for us to buy one
ana DO not feel like asking neighbor
Torthe 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 small. wrinkled. shriveled
kernel of grain produces. if it produces
anything, only small, weakly, spin
ding plant. This plant may live through
the season and produce it's like or it
may die early in life and be replaced
by weeds or grass. In any case we
should be having a strong. hearty,
healthy plant growing where the sick
~, spindling specimen grows. and the
only way to be sure of it is to grade
the seed we sow-to take out the small,
shr1veled 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 a good mill always sur
prises one by taking 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 a mill.

GOOD HAY PEN.

good plan for making a hay pen into
which the hay may be thrown: Set
four posts into the ground. one at each
corner of parallelogram by s feet
Nail strong by As to these posts ev
cry foot from the ground to the height
Of three feet. Leave space wide
enough for stock to get their heads
through easily and nail another 2 by 4
or attach strong barbed wire in its
place. This will keep the stock from
jumping into the pen. If by 4 pieces
cannot be obtained strong poles Sc
cured from the timber and trimmed at
ends so they can be nailed may be
used instead.-Iowa Homestead.

Too old to bother with trees,

q Mr.. Cobb of Massachusetts set
out an orchard when he was sew
enty years old He mildly re-
marked when ridiculed. that

Sheep In the Cornfields.

One great advantage in keeping
sheep in dry season when the pas
lures are dried up and closely eaten
off is that we can turn the sheep into
the cornfelds as soon as the corn is
well silked out, and this without injury
to the corn The sheep eat any grass
and weeds among the corn and also
the lower leaves on the cornstalks
without detriment to the caring of the
corn

HAY FEEDING PEN.

A great many farmers turn their
stock into fields in the spring and feed
them hay from the stack. Often they
haul out the hay and throw it on the
ground. While the stock may get a
good deal of it, they will necessarily
trample lot of it into the ground or

PEACHES ARE ALL KILLED
Missouri State Horticultural Society
Says No Hope for Stone Fruit.

Missouri State Horticultural Society
Says No Hope for Stone Fruit.
According to the official statement
of the Missouri State Horticultural
Society, there will be no peaches
grown in Missouri this year. The en-
IRENE cold weather. it is said. has
destroyed all hope for Missouri
peaches i'm 1912. One member of the
society says.
Il am certain that practically all
stone fruit is killed. A temperature
of 10 degrees below zero is the dang
er line, and once it has been passed
there is scarcely any chance. Stone
fruit rarely if eve produces after
such cold. Cherries and grapes,
however. are quite hardy and may
not be hurt.
