Her head should be clean and an

the backbone rather prominent. The
skin should be loose and soft to the

mature animals which have already
demonstrated their worth as sires or
younger animals from high-testlng
dams and sires only should be used.
The best and surest results Will al
ways follow the use of a mature sire
which has sired heifers with good
records. A good dairy bull should be
kept until he is twelve or fifteen
years DID, in fact, as long as he is
sure sire. Real good sires are so rare
that when we do find one he should
die only Of old age. All breeders OF
dairy cattle should secure yearly tests
on each and every COW in the herd.
Shorter tests do not really mean very
much. 1t is the COW that stays by her
job that is really valuable.

Limino Sandy Soils.

Lime may improve loose sandy soils
by making them more compact and
more retentive OF moisture. For this
purpose some form of carbonate of
lime is usually recommended, and in
much smaller quantities than for clay
soils fClay soils will stand more lime
than sandy soils The Improvement
of sandy soils will often be much
greater if the lime is applied to a
green crop turned under.
Lime hastens the conversion of the
vegetable matter into humus,s and
this with the lime helps to fill the
open spaces between the sand grains
1t is claimed by those who have given
much attention to light sandy soils
that there are no other types of soils
that will respond quite so readily to
lining, provided the necessary vege-
table matter is supplied in the form
of a green cover crop turned under

PLANNING FOR THE HOT BED
Doesn't Cost Much and Saves Consid-
erably on Grocery Bill-Se Sure
of Ventilation.

Better think about making that hot
bed for early radishes and lettuce 1t
doesn't cost much, and it will lower
the grocery bill. Here is the way rec
commended by the horticultural de-
partment of the Kansas State Agri-
cultural college:
Dig a hole two feet deep, little
larger than the size of the hot-bed
frame. If the hot-bed is to be perma-
nent, the walls of this pit should be
lined with brick, stone or cement.
When possible, have a shed or board
fence on the north side of the bed.
1t VIII take less manure to heat the
soil Put two feet of well-mixed fresh
horse manure in the hole, wet thor
oughiy, and lamp, # the manure is
not we'll tamped the soil will settle
unevenly when the manure decays.
Two-inch material makes a better
and stronger frame, and will last
longer. The front of the frame should
be six inches high, back eighteen
inches. Put five inches of dirt on the
manure, preferably the richest soil
you can get. Fill in around the frame
with manure and earth, and put the
cover on the frame.
Glass sashes are best for covers.
Cloth may be used late in the season.
The size of the sash is 3x6 feet. The
bed. then should be feet wide and
as many times 5 feet long as desired.
The temperature of a hot-bed will
be high at first Use thermometer.
When the heat has fallen to IS de-
grees. the seed may be planted. Keep
the bed we'll watered, but do not
soak. Too much water rots the ma
nure too rapidly. Be sure tie bed is
well ventilated. When sashes are
used must be raised TO let in the
fresh air in mild weather. Extra COW
ers should be provided for cold days
and nights.

TESTING GARDEN SEED
Failure of Crop Often Attributed
to Poor Stand
Vitality or terminating Power I'M
paired by Various Causes, Such
as Lack of Maturity, improper
Storing or in Curing.

Very often the cause of crop fail
ure can be attributed to poor stand.
No matter how good the soil, the
seed, the season, or the cultivation, if
there is a poor stand, the yield is de-
creased. A poor stand, writes S. Van
Smith in Farm News, requires about
as much time, work and expense in
cultivation as "a good one.
This is true in gardening as well as
in other lines Of crop growing.
An important factor in the cause of
poor stands is poor seeds. Seed may
have it's vitality or terminating pow
er impaired from a variety of causes,
such as lack Of maturity, improper
curing, or storing under unfaForable
conditions Very often the SEED has
spent itself terminating before it is
planted or perhaps it is too cold.
To avoid poor stands, seeds should
be tested before planting. This Is a
very simple operation. and requires
but few minutes. There are several
simple methods of testing seeds,
probably most of which will answer
the purpose.
One Of the simplest and quickest
ways is to test between blotting pa
per. First, count out 100 seeds of the
kind to be tested, taking them just as
they come, and not picking out the
best-looking ones. Scatter the seeds
between two pieces of blotting paper
from to inches square, and place
in a common chint plate, and turn
another plate bottom side up over the
first. If pasteboard plates can be
had, they are better, especially If a
large number of samples are to be
tested
In this case all the plates contain
ing samples of seed can be stacked
up, each plate being placed right side
up upon the one beneath. This
makes each plate a cover for the one
beneath it, and holds the blotting
paper down closely TO the seeds, pre-
venting too rapid drying out.
The seeds should be placed in the
living room to secure temperature
favorable to termination. Care should

De taken that, the seeds are not kept
too wet, as termination takes place
more readily under barely moist con-
ditions. Strength of such germina-
ton should be noted, for it is not
enough that a seed terminate. 1t
should terminate strongly to be a
good seed Seeds which terminate
weakly in such tests may not be
strong enough to make good plant
under field conditions.
If molds form quickly on the seeds
they are likely to be old stock.
If 100 seeds are taken, the number
that terminates can be taken as the
percentage of termination. If scant,
the seed should not be planted. If
good, or Indifferent, it may be
planted, making the proper allowance

Green Alfalfa.

German experimenters found that
green alfalfa put into an unwalled pit
in July and taken out in March had
decreased in weight by practically
SO 1-3 per cent. The outer layers
were more or less moldy, and in some
places the silage was partially

thing which always counts for much.

JUDGING THE VALUE OF EGGS
Difference in Color Is Merely indi-
cation OF Strain of the Bird and
Nothing Else.

1t is a curious fallacy that the
The difference in color is merely the
indication of the strain of the bird
and nothing else, says a leading au-
thority
1t is q fact that, generally speaking,
br own eggs are preferred over white
ones, and dealers have learned to ca
ter to supply this demand at small
cost II their customers want brown
eggs, they supply them as long as
they have them in stock, and then
color the white ones to ill out.
1t Is a very easy matter staining a
white egg a beautiful delicate brown
by dipping it in weak coffee or an
alyne dye. Eggs colored in this way
sell just as readily and please the
customers as we'll as though they had
bought genuine brown eggs.
There is quite a difference, how
ever, in the lucrative value of very
light colored yolks and those which
pale yolk indicates poor feeding and
bad conditions, but the reddish, yellow
yOlk indicates that the hens have
been fed on the right kind of rations,
and are therefore better food.
1ron-in the food gives color to the
yolk of the egg, and anaemic persons
whose diet embraces eggs should al
ways select those of the rich reddish
color, because they contain more iron
than the pale ones.
In judging the value Of the egg as
food. therefore, do not take the color
of the shell as an index of it's food
value, but upon it's contents.

Windows in Poultry Houses

Put the windows in the poultry
houses low down to the floor, so that
the hens will get the benefit of the
light and sunshine when scratching
for their feed.
The trouble with windows set high
up is that they let the sunshine on
the perches when the hens are on the
floor scratching, and when they are
on the roost the sun doesn't shine. so
there is no equilibrium in such plans

dition. There is nothing like plenty
room and ventilation. All brood coops
should be provided with good wire
fronts to provide the ventilation, and
at the same time to prevent intrusion
from night providers 1t is advisable
at all times to avoid crowding. and
there Is only one way to do that, and
that is by not allowing a great num-
Der to roost in one coop or mouse. no
matter how large it may be, for when
the nights become cool, they will hud-
die into small space and those which
happen to be about in the middle
must suffer. Chicks of about the
same size and vigor should only be
allowed in the flock. Any weaklings
should be culled out and placed with
A younger lot. This will not only be
an advantage to the weakly ones, but
will make a more uniform looking
lot out Of each. Separating the sexes
is a profitable proposition, and in the
case Of the smaller or laying breeds
or mixed and common chicks Of that
type the separating should take place
at weaving time. This will give both
the cockerels and the puliets much
better chance for making good
growth, and their management can
be so much better adapted to the pur-
pose in view for each. II the fiocks
can be separated and given unlimited
range. 80 much the better Where
chicks can be allowed the run Of
growing corn, IL makes an ideal run
conducive to growth. Where 1t be
comes necessary, on account Of the
garden, the nearness to neighbors OF
similar reasons, to yard the young
ones, the fence may be made tight by
l2-inCh board or a strip OF l-inch
mesh wire, and the balance Of regu-
lation poultry wire. Where chicks
have only limited space, 1t is good
thing TO spade up at least part Of the
yard quite often with grain scattered
about in It. Protection from the eX-
IRENE heat in summer should be pro-
vided II there is not already shade
trees in the yards. Old canvas or
awnings of some kind can easily be
arranged and are fully appreciated
by the youngsters. Another very
profitable thing where heavy. sudden
showers are common are little shell
ters easily reached by the little ones.
They will save many chick from an
untimely death. These little emer-
gency shelters need not be any more
than two or three wide boards slanted
against the fence or supported in any
other similar manner to run the
water off. No chicken coop or house
should be a hCtboN in the day time
or at night. Screen the front, also
windows and DOORS to allow good cir
culation. OF course, good, wholesome
food is necessary to provide rapid
growth. Avoid all sour mixtures of
sIoppy nature, except sour milk or
curd. which Is good and wholesome
Dry grains and feed of that nature
are advisable. Keep them filled up.
Rapid growth requires full and COM
