WIN tn1s, partly because the oil in
corn gives the fleece of the lamb a
better appearance. But actual weigh
ing Of feed and of lambs admits of no
questioning. And no one who has
seen our lambs at the beginning and
end of feeding period, or who saw
the steers that last year sold for the
highest price ever paid in the open
Denver market, will deny that our
feeding is up to the average of that
done by the ordinary feeder.
Eliminate Prejudice.
Now, admitting this, why should
one retain an old prejudice against
barley as a feed? It is true that for
hogs it is somewhat less valuable than
corn, because of the coarse hull en-
closing it. And 1 am not prepared to
contend that a light weight, thin kerr
neled barley like California feed bar
ley is equal to corn, although even
this may be true. The California feed
barley is a heavy yielder and on that
basis may make up something that
it lacks for feeding.
For breeding stock the use of bar
ley cannot be too strongly advised,
where it can be procured cheaply.
Corn seems to burn out an animal
and destroy its breeding powers. and

Ninety thousand cases is what most
tobacco packers of Lancaster place the
1911 crop of Lancaster county at, and
it is their belief that not over fifteen
per cent of this amount Cor little over
Is, 900 cases. remains unsold.
It is an accepted fact that not in re-
cent years has any crop been sold on
it's merits to the extent to which this
crop was sold. It can hardly be said
this year that there was any standard
of prices, because even when buying
was briskest they ranged from ten to
twelve and half cents for wrapper
goods and two to five cents for filters.
1t is believed that the United Cigar
Manufacturers Co. secured at least TO-
600 cases; one large New York leaf
firm, about the same amount; and the
American Tobacco Co., about 5000
cases. Most local packers have their
warehouses about full. but they are
prepared to add a few more cases if
they can get the goods cheap. And
right here arises the question of the
quality of the crops unsold. Some of
the leading packers contend that the
crops unsold have been gone over time
and again by buyers, and that the rea-
son they are still held by the growers,
since the break in prices, is because
these goods are not the equal, most of
them, to that already sold.

BARLEY AS A FEED.
"a. {. Morton, Colorado Agricultural
College, Fort CoIlins.l

SOIiSScy FOFC COiIItIS.)
The specialized crop districts of
Colorado which have been growing
sugar beets. potatoes and cantaloupes,
have found their annual returns grad
ually decreasing, and many farmers
have swung back to the old grain and
alfalfa rotation. If with this is COM
bined the feeding of live stock, the
fertility Of the land may be kept up
and even increased. But if the grain
and alfalfa rotation means growing
wheat to sell and wheat straw to burn,
fertility will rapidly decrease.
The growing of barley for stock
feeding purposes offers a method of
cropping that can be used to advan-
tage. The only difficulty is that many
farmers are growing it to sell rather
than to feed. Barley in the Fort Col
Inns district is this year selling at the
same notch with corn, and that is
where it should sell for lamb feeding.
After several years work I have sat
isfied myself that a good, plump, full
kerneled brewing barley is as good a
sheep feed as corn when fed with al
falfa hay.

Should Test Seed Corn.

Seed corn in this state and of the
corn belt in general is in most serious
condition, according to Professor G. 2.
Norgord, of the Wisconsin College OF
Agriculture. One hundred and forty
nine samples that have been collected
from seven counties for test, from al
parts of the state, have shown an av-
erage termination of only 81 per cent.
If this corn is planted without testing,
half crop will result This will be
especially serious next fall, as the same
situation prevails over the entire corn
belt.
We of Wisconsin must not be caught.
The way of escape is clear. We must
test every ear of our seed corn and dis
card every one that does not terminate
strongly. We must not shell the corn
before testing, because then we cannot
throw out the dead kernels. One man
can test several bushels in day, and
everyone should do it, for corn will be
valuable next year.
Remove kernel from near the butt,
another from near the center, and an
other from near the tip. Turn the ear
over and repeat the operation. In this
way you have representatives from six
different rows and from different parts
of the ear.
The simplest way to test seed corn is
to use what is known as the saWduSt
grrminator method Put about two
inches of sawdust that has been boiled
in a sack, in the bottom of dry goods
box. Pack this down thoroughly and
spread over it piece of muslin that
has been marked into % inch squares.
There should be at least ten rows of
ten squares in a row. Each square is
used for kernels from one ear of corn.
1t is usually most convenient to test
100 ears at time. When the squares
are marked on the muslin they should
be numbered, beginning at the upper
left hand corner. The ears should then
be spread upon the floor or upon the
table and numbered. Kernels from ear
No. l are to be put in square No. l and
so on. 1t is not necessary to attach
number to each ear. If the ears be
laid out in rows, ear No. l can be
marked and nail driven into the floor
between each 10 ears. This will make
it possible to determine the number of
the kernels.
After the kernels have been placed
in the germinator, cover them care
fully with another piece of muslin that
has been dampened. Over this place
gunny sack with wet sawdust in it. In
six or seven days check up the results
and discard all ears whose kernels fail
ed to produce strong sprouts.
