TEST ALL SEEDS BEFORE PLANTING Them

1t won't be long now until farmers
begin to plant alfalfa-and wouldn't
they like to know whether 1t is pure?
Only one thing on earth will settle
that doubt, and that is to test he
seed-the best seed obtainable, so that
the labor OF blowing and drilling may
no be wholly lost.
The testing can be done at home,
too. It takes only simple apparatus,
consisting Of two pieces Of flannel or
Of plotting paper about six inches
square between which are placed one
hundred seeds. The whole, placed be-
tween two plates, should be kept moist
but not "sopplng' wet, and the seeds
which have sprouted counted every
day. At the end Of SIX days the total
number Of sprouted seeds win repre-
sent fairly well the germInatinf power
Of the sample. Good alfalfa seed
should give a percentage Of at least 80.
Besides the terminating power there
Is another quality which must be con-
sidered in judging a sample. Does It
contain q large number Of brown
seedsf II 30, II would be safer not 20

time. Now except on very sandy soils
that's a silly WORKOUT excuse, that
started when men came in from the
east and didn't know how to farm.
And some people still half believe 1t
because they haven't half tried what
they can do with the soil and take
hearsay for granted and haven't gone
to work to find out the right way
to work. This isn't due to laziness,
it's Just a bad habit. At least this
spring after the snow has been lying
on all winter and has left the soil
moist and packed there is no reason
why a man Of ordinary Judgment
cannot cultivate early without danger
from blowing. With the land In the
condition II is this spring there Is
no reason why early blowing cannot
be done and this would be the best
thing possible for land which has
been listed or disced for years. AS
a rule 1t might be plowed 4 inches
deep and narrowed two or three times
before seeding which would settle and
also warm the soil as well as hold
the moisture there that is deeper in
the ground until the crop can use It,.
Another way already plowed land
may be handled is to get on the field
with the disk the first day you can,
while the soil is still moist and sci
the disks nearly straight. 1t proba.
bly, will be best to weight the disk
so as to throw up Jumps of moist
packed soil from below the surface.
Or else use the lister working the soil
so that Jumps are left which will MOI
blow. Sometimes this can be done by
listing shallow, often when the sur
face is very loose and has been work.
ed shallow 1t is necessary to go
deeply, throwing up new unworked
soil. Another way is to use some
form of cultiyator. For a sugar beet
cultivator one can have long slender
teeth made curved slightly forward,
which will do good duty sometimes,
as these moving through the soil will
run under the clods and lift and loos-
en- them rather than pressing down on
them from the top and powdering
them like slanting harrow teeth will.

why MILK WILL TURN SOUR
Reason 10 That Fluid Contains Small
Mlerobe That Makes an Acid
From the Sugar.

Perhaps you have often wondered
why II is that II you let milk stand
for a short time, especially In warm
weather, II will turn sour and become
unfit to use in your tea or coffee' out
II II is boiled and then sealed up IN
some sort of alright can or jar 1t VIII
keep for any length Of time In any
weather.
Many persons believe that q thun.
derstorm will turn milk sour. ana II
you ask them what the thunder, whicn
is nothing but noise. can do to the
milk you will find that they have no
idea, but they just know II Is SO. 90
there!
The reason that milk turns sour Is
that It contains a small microbe that
makes an acid from the sugar in the
milk. When the milk is boiled these
microbes are killed and the acid Is
never developed. Warm air. and even
electricity in the air. is very FAVOR
able to the rapid growth OF these MI.
orobes. which are really sort OF
Plant. and all plants flourish IN
warmth.
The acid which is made by these MI
crobes in the milk is called Tactic
acid, and If the milk is good and clean
II is none the worse for turning sour
although 1t is not just the thing 10
put in tea. For some persons sour
milk Is a much more wholesome drink
than sweet milk and is recommended
by some doctors for the cure OF GER
tain diseases. There is famous chi.
nese statesman who believes he VIII

cause he drinks SO much sour MIX

better. Notice surface planted crops.
Ii there is plenty of moisture on the
start they will grow right away from
lister planted stuff. Why? Because
the soil in the bottom OF the lister
turrow is cold. So do listing early,
work 1t down and list again. Either
list in the same place or split the
ridges. Try both. Or use your own
method. But get to stirring that SOIL
TO warm it up. Cold listed ground
Trims many a good stand.
In some other places where there
is less rainfall than in Western han
sas. better crops are at present GER
tainly grown. Lack Of rainfall Is not
fault of Western Kansas. If 1t
were We could not better the condi-
ton. The fault is that the winds, the
high altitude and the bright, clear
days make the evaporation very great.
Evaporation is the drawback and one
that can be largely overcome. How
would you stop evaporation from
tub? Why, cover it up. You can
stop evaporation from the soil to q
wonderful degree by covering 1t up
with a loose layer of dirt; that is by
cultivation. Keep the lid on the
moisture, should be the watchword or

siastic and start in teaching yourself

II will do so much good. Don't waste
all the winter snow. Get the fields

Then do not plant too early. Save
