SEED CORN TEST
rag Doll Baby" Pronounced as
Greatest of Infants.
Cheapest Tester Which Can Be Made
All That Is Needed Is Few Yards
Of Sheeting of Good oaulity,
Torn Into Strips.

The Rag Doll Baby, scientifically
known as the ras doll seed corr tes-
ter, has been pronounced the greatest
Infant of recent years. Also the most
popular because it has been nursed
by a majority of the school children
of the United States.
Not only did this pet in its first
year make two blades Of grass grow
for oae, but 1t claims credit for last

to have added millions to the crops

SHEEP REQUIRE MUCH SALT
Best Method Is to Keep Substance
Before Animals at All Times-
Only Mineral Needed.

Sheep on pasture are often neglect
ed as far as sailing is concerned. They
are either sailed irregularly or not at
all. When salt Is not supplied to
them in sufficient quantities they
crave it intensely, and, as has been
demonstrated by experiments, will not
make the gains nor grow the wool
they will If properly sailed, says the
National Stockman. Salt is often con-
sidered a seasoning for the food OF
animals and not an essential. 1t Is
the only mineral which ordinarily
needs to be supplied to livestock. No
sheep a do its best without enough
salt.
Sailing every few days is sufficient
for the needs of the sheep, but it is
not as good a method as keeping salt
before the sheep all the time, as
when a rush of work comes or a Wis
iting time comes sailing the sheep is
n of the things neglected. When
salt is given after a period of neglect
the sheep are so eager for it that they
take too much and large quantities OF
water are needed to wash it out of
the system, some of this being drawn
from the tissues of the body to the
detriment Of the sheep.

carefully. In all cases in which all
the kernels are not strong in germina-
ton the ear should be thrown away,
for no farmer a afford to plant
seed that will not terminate.
For the rag doll test buy a few
yards of sheeting of good quality and
tear 1t into strips 8 inches wide and
from three to five feet long. If it is
planned to use the strips a number
of times, hem the edges, as otherwise
the Rawlings sometimes disarrange
the kernels in unrolling. There is no
cheaper, more convenient and accu-
rate method of testing seed corn than
by the rag doll tester. A few of its
advantages are:
The cheapest tester which can be
made.
Anyone can make the tester in a
moments time.
Corn may be placed in the tester
and the test read approximately as
quickly as any other tester.
If one wishes to use the water"
method, the construction of this tester
is we'll adapted for this. If saturated
atmosphere with moist cloth contact
is desired, this may be secured by
leaving the rolls in the water only
long enough to become thoroughly
moistened.
Less mold develops in this tester

VALUE OF FARMYARD MANURE
There Are Various Losses in Guam
tlty Which Constituents Suffer
Before Reaching Fields.
By r. @. wEATHERsToNE)

(By R. G. WEATHERSTONE)
Remember that the constituents OF
animal excrement are in the condt
ton of greatest value as anure at
the time when they leave the animals;
after mixing with litter and piled in
the barnyard their value is greatly
reduced.
During the fermentation Of the
manure with the straw and refuse Of
the stable and %barnyard, the constitu.
ents enter into new combination the
ammonia produced, which contains the
nitrogen combines with the humic
acids formed from the decomposing
litter, forming insoluble compounds.
Thus they are not so quickly available
to the plants as the original excre-
ment.
There are also various losses in
quantity which the constituents may
suffer before they reach the land. In
the yard much urine may run to
waste. Ammonia will disappear as
gas in the stable during the decompo
sition Of the urine, and further loss

Gipsie Mother and Child.

for | never saw a good looking gypsy
woman in the Albiacin; and / was
there several times.
The men, however, were fine, viii
famous looking fellows. They gener-
ally wore the air of retired or quies-
cent cutthroats and highway robbers.
They looked at once lazy and agile
and powerful. Their faces were hard
and destructive, and their eyes we're
fierce. They seemed to have very much
the physical and mental makeup of
the Spanish gentlemen who, in more
interesting times, used to send the
ear Of captives to their friends, so
as to stimulate them in the matter of
ransom.
To show that some of them now

the t~ime-honored manner, must re-
late an incident that was told to me
by the English consul in Granada. 1t
seems that q year or SO before a
gypsy Of a particularly engaging per-
sonality persuaded an Englishman to
hire him as a guide. This gypsy could
speak bad English with f1uency, and
he went with the Englishman in the
capacity of monitor and general guide,
philosopher and friend. He explain
ed to him the wonders Of the Alham-
bra. and he told things that had hap
pened there. together win things that
had " happened there.
But u day there came a rift With
in the lutte. They were In a lonesome
place outside Granada, and the gypsy
made a polite request to the effect
that the Englishman should lend him aiImq
all the money had on him, and his
watch ard chain. But the obtuse Eng
lishmar impolitely refused the gipsy's
polite request. The gypsy made a
quick for his knife, but the Eng
iishmsn was quicker. He whipped
out a revolver and shot the gypsy
dead. Then he gave himself Up to the

G|Ps|Es OF SPAIN
Odd People Who Live in Caves
Built in Sides of Mountains.
They Neither Work Nor Pay Rent,
but Part of the Year They Wan
der a Bit-SelI Antiques
to Tourists.

Granada, Spain.-They are too wise
to pay rent. These Spanish gipsies I
speak Of live in caves in the sides
of mountains that tower above Gran
ada, in Andalusia, where the sun
shines as it really ought to shine.
They have been there a long time,
says a correspondent. They were
there in the time Of the Romans. Their
ancestors saw the CLEAN from the
swords of Roman soldiers as they
marched along the valley beneath
them.
They are delightful people, who
neither work nor pay rent. At a GER
tain season of the year they wander
a bit-just to feel hat they really are
gipsies-and then they come back
again to their caves to tell the for
tunes of visiting innocent tourists
and to sell the mobjects of immense
antiquity that have been made in
Granada but a few days or weeks
before.
These caves where they live form,
in a rough kind of way, a village. 1t
is called the Albiacin. 1t practically
adjoins Granada, but it is as distant
from Granada as the gipsies are from
the Spaniards themselves, and when
you are in 1t you feel hat you are in
a place that is really old-as old,

As a rule, the caves do not go deep
into the side of the mountain. They
are fitted up inside as houses would
be fitted up.
/ said that a cave was fitted up as
a house would be fitted up. But per-
haps that is not a good way to put
it. When you enter from the bright

doubtless strike you is what looks like
a long black body, hanging either from
the roof or along the side of the
wall. 1t is only a pigskin, more or less
filled with wine. But there are other
things and shapes that you cannot
make out in the gloom.

change in the vegetable dishes for the

suckers are set out producing edible
heads the second year. The heads are
from three to four inches In diameter
and are ready to cut for the table just

For picking the heads are often
