Teaching the Teachers.

Professor R. H. Emerson, who is in
charge of rural education in the
schools in Missouri is issuing a series
Of simple letters to the teachers, which
will enable any teacher to give a
very interesting object lesson on each
subject whether or not they have had
a technical agricultural education. His
work is under. the direction of the Col
lege of Agriculture, and has no con-
nection with the work undertaken by
the bureau of plant industry at Wash
ington, and he is gradually introduce
ing it into every county in Missouri
quietly, but very efficiently. He teach
es the children to test seeds at
home. which cannot fail to carry the
propaganda to the farmer in the most
thorough manner.

A SEED PLAT.
How to Select and Grow Your Own
Seed.

(8y M. A. Carleton, U. S. CereaIist.)
There is a great difference in the
grain grown in the same fields and
under axactly the same conditions,
and the farmer should learn the i'm
portance of selecting sound, healthy
plants from all over the field in all
cases.
The best procedure is to make con-
slant use of a regular seed plat which
is simply small space of one acre or
more, depending upon the size OF the
farm, in which enough seed grain is
grown, none of it being sold in the
usual manner, but all being used for
sowing the regular crop of the next
year.
Select Healthy Plants.
To start the seed plat, go through
the large field just before harvesting,
and select all of the best individual
plants that can be quickly obtained,
keeping in mind good stooling, large
heads and vigorous, healthy plants
without rust or smut. Continue select
ing until sufficient number of bum
dies of the plants are obtained, which,
when threshed, will give seed enough
for sowing an acre of ground, or more
if the farmer wishes larger plat.
This selected grain can be threshed
simply by a fail or by tramping or
beating inside of a bag; or if the seed
selection should become a regular Gus
tom which it ought to be, there should
be on every farm, or in every neigh
borhood, a small one or two horse
power thresher, which can be run by
a gasoline engine, the cost of which
for both thresher and engine should
not exceed 5000.
Sowing the Seed Plat.
The seed from these bundles is to be
used for sowing the seed plat, which
should be set apart separate from any
of the fields and kept thoroughly pro-
tected, even fenced if necessary. A
new location should be selected each
season. Just before harvesting this
seed plat, the very best plants should
be selected from the plat in the man.
ner before described, and the seed OF
these choice plants should be used the
following season for the seed plat. All
the remainder of the seed from the
seed plat should then be used for SOW
ing the general crop next season.
Continue this method from year to
year, always obtaining the best seed
from the seed plat for seeding itself,
using the remainder of the seed for
the general crop. In this way no seed
is ever taken from the general crop
and yet it is produced on the same
farm Consequently it becomes i'm
proved from other sections.

HARVESTING AND THRESHING.
Barley Needs the Most Careful Han
ding.
(By l.. r. ZerbeI.)


(By L. r. ZerbeI.)
Great attention should be given to
the harvesting and threshing of bar
ley: Too little care has been bestowed
upon this important operation as a
great deal of barley has been damaged
by dew or rain or by improper hand
ling of some kind, therefore, the sell
ing value has deprecated materially.
An important part is the time to
havest. To obtain the best results
barley should never be cut until it is
good and ripe, often barley is cut too
green or not fully matured which will
make for mailing purposes a tiinty
malt, lacking in color and flavor. It is
also important not to leave barley un-
cut after it is ripe as it will discolor
easily by dew at that stage.
Barley Color important.
The value of barley for mailing
purposes depends on the color and
soundness, also on the test Of germina-
ton as all mailing barley must be
sprouted in the malthouse and prices
are paid for it accordingly, therefore
It is we'll to let barley ripen we'll as
it gives d better terminating test.
Barley should be we'll shocked the
shocks should be of medium size, it
is we'll to shock the barley soon after
1t is cut so as to protect the sheaves
from the weather. Ears inside and
butt end outside
How to Shock
About six bundles set up at a prop
er angle, one bundle on each side
with two bundles we'll placed on top
of the lower eight for caps, make de-
sirable shock, this style of a shock
will allow the air to circulate through
it freely which will dry out the bun
dies in a short time so that they can
be stacked without remaining in the
field exposed to the weather long. Old
straw makes the best cap and will pay
for the trouble. 1t is we'll to let the
barley dry out we'll before it is
stacked. One week is sometimes suf-
fcient; this of course depends entire
Iy upon the weather.
