USE GOOD SEED.

In years when grass seed is high, as
Is the case this spring, there is tend
ency on the part Of many a farmer to
make the silly mistake Of buying seed
that is not first class simply because
1t is cheap. Such seed is usually dirty,
containing many foreign and often
noxious weed seeds, and quite often
of low terminating power. These two
things taken together make 1t the most
expensive seed that can be bought
merely from the standpoint of results
obtained-the dollars and cents stand
point. No matter what the price. the
highest price seed is always the best
because in the long run it is the cheap
est. Simple as are the truths referred
to. there are nevertheless whole loi
of fellows who hope to have about SC
much rocky experience before they gel
this idea fixed in their noodles

A PAVING PROPOSITION.

That there is good money in raising
beef cattle when the price is satisfac-
tory is shown in n sale made the other
day by farmer living in the northern
part of the corn belt with whom the
writer is we'll acquainted. There were
eighty-two head in all, and they aver
aged 1900 pounds apiece. They were
landed on good market fetching
$50 per hundredweight. This means
that the steers brought S9G.75 head
or total of $685.. One of the best
features connected with this stock
raising enterprise aside from the snug
sum received was the fact that the
raw products of the farm were con
verted into a finished product on the
farm where most of the stuff was
raised, with the result that there was
returned to the land all of the manur
ial byproduct

THE POOREST IN YEARS.

That the situation with reference to
the wretchedly poor condition of the
seed corn that was saved last fall is
not overdrawn in reports which have
been circulated recently is plainly
shown in the condition of market corn
which has been received at leading
points during the past three months.
These show that at Chicago during De-
cember, January and February but
forty-six cars of No. . corn were re-
ceived. while 1S per cent of all corn
received graded No. 3. and over 80 per
cent graded No. f. or worse. At Oma-
ha during the same interval so per cent
of all corn received graded No. 4, while
Is per cent did not grade as good as
this. At Kansas City over half of the
corn received during the winter was
fourth grade or worse, the average
moisture content being about 20 per
cent. which is the worst showing in
years. In view of this showing this
warning Of bad seed corn is hardly
in the wolf, wolf" class.

WATCH THE CHILD.

Many parent does on almost iirep-
arabic injury to the girl of from eight
to fourteen years by encouraging her
in the doing of fancy or other work
taxing to both eyes and nervous sys-
tenn when the most Of her spare time
out of school ought to be spent in the
taking of needed physical exercise that
would build n strong physique. And
often it is children that are ambitious
and need no encouragement to such
work that suffer the most serious in
jury Many Il parent forgets that a
mere child has not the endurance of an
older person. This, coupled with pa
rental pride in the child's achievement
and the childish enthusiasm to meet
the parents expectations, forms a very
dangerous combination and one OF
which the thoughtful parent should be
ware.

POISON FOR HoPPERs.

A farmer living near Dodge Center
Kan, in communication to the Kan
sas City Star reports much success in
the use of London purple as means
of warding grasshoppers Off his grain
fields. His plan is to spray the weeds
and grass bordering the field to be pro
tected in a strip about three feet wide
with a solution made by mixing two
quarts of London purple in forty gal
Ions of water. He recommends spray
Ing just before shutdown and two sub
sequent sprayings of the same strip.
He says that this method has never
failed to protect his fields, as he has
used it for a number of years. 1t hard
ly need be said that stock of all kinds
should be kept from eating this poi
soned forage. as 1t would make short
work of them.

Little Profit to the Farmer In Produc-

1t is surprising. after all the talk
about big horses, to see how many
farmers still think that the little are
all right to raise. No money Is made
producing the little southern chunks,
writes Professor ]. L. Edmonds of ILL
nois in Orange Judd Farmer. In moth
ing has the big draft horse shown
more improvement in recent years
than in action. The big, fast walking
horse of perfect action has decided
advantage. Not many take the pains
to teach their horses to walk properly,
and the right kind Of big horses are
not logy and at a disadvantage in the
heat of summer work
The rule to get size in the class and
quality in the sire cannot always ap-
ply. In some communities it Is neces'
sary to increase size through the sire.
The colt show is great benefit. A
stallion lined up with five or six of his
get tells his value better than any
word painting. Pure bred horses have
much stronger prepotency than the
horse of little or no breeding. Some
good stations have poor chance to
show what they can do. Poor feed
and lack of exercise cause many fail
