FARMERS ANXIOUS
GOOD SEED
Tests Reveal Great Varia-
tions in same Sort of Grain
Under Examination.

With the seeding operations near at
hand farmers are taking the keenest
interest in the quality of seed used.
The time when any kind of seed could
be planted and a large crop gotten is
past. Great dependence was placed
upon the fertility Of the soil. Now the
soil fertility has been weakened, and
all the elements going into the rails
ing of a large crop must be more
closely watched. The planting of good
seed is becoming more and more inn
pOrtant. The Better Farming associa-
ton has made good seed" II of its
strongest arguments.
No man will ever know what money
has been spent on iced that never ger
minated, or what loss of horsepower
there has been in hauling it around
and planting it. Neither will it ever
be possible to estimate loss to the
farmers of the country from the use
ate, or, If it does terminate, to pro-
duce healthy plants. The unwisdom
Of taking any chances on poor seed is
becoming more generally recognized.
The farmer has a large investment
during the eason in the labor that is
placed on every acre of his land. 1t
costs Just so much to pillow the land,
to seed it, to harrow it. to cut the
crop and to perform all the other de-
tails of work belonging to it. The
difference between the first class seed
and that which is doubtful amounts
to a few cents per acre. 1t IL evidently
poor business policy to attempt to
save those few cents, and in doing SO
to take chances of making a loss on
the entire investment when the slight
~ greater expenditure would have
been, under the same conditions. GER
tain to yield a profit. In this connec-
ton a letter from c. A.. Magnuson Of
Minneapolis. president of the North
western Elevator company. is of inter-
est to the farmer of the northwest.
Mr.. Magnuson says:
les have taken pains to submit sam
pies Of grain to the inspection depart
ment Of the state of Minnesota for a
termination test, which, II there is
time enough. may prove a good thing
for the country. In several samples
submitted of all kinds Of grain, in
elusive Of wheat, durum. and barley.
they found a great variation. some Of
1t having a termination test of over
80 per cent, and some Of it. especially
barley, having a termination test as
low Ii 30 per cent. with no p%erceptible
difference in the looks of the grain.
It seems to me. therefore. that 1t be-
hooves everyone to make a germina-
ton test of the grain hat they expect
to use for seed In order to get good
results. This seems to apply not only
to one part Of the country. but to all
parts Of the country so far as the
northwest il concerned.

TREATED At 1U'
Henry Hagle Of Binford, Bit

ment Known Few Years

Henry Hagle of Binford is being
treated at the public health laborato'y
at the university. He is still in great
danger from hy~drophobia. He was
brought to the city last night from his
home at Binford. having been bitten
the day before. Every effort is being
made to stop he spreading OF the
poison. He is only a young boy.
According to dispatches from Bin
ford one of the dogs on the Herman
Lucht farm was seized suddenly with
the rabies and before anything could
be dom to get away from him he bit
young Henry once in the left leg and
once in the left hand. He then made
for another dog and also a pig and
Is not known If the horses were bitten.
There were no firearms on the place
by which to kill him and the men
we're in a quandry as to how to get
out Of the danger without being bitten
and find some method Of killing this
mad beast. that was biting everything
1t came in contact with, even to an
teeth. He was finally gotten to come
to the barn and al he was passing
through the door the men squeezed
him between the door and wall and
held him that way until he was
dubbed to death. The other dog was
Immediately killed. Two days after
the pig that had been bitten became
mad and before 1t could be killed it
had inflicted wounds upon several Of
the horses. The utmost care Is being
taken to prevent I'M further danger.
This is the twenty-fourth case to be
treated at the public health laboratory
by DIR. Ruediger. The famous Pastcur
treatment is the one used. Until the
last two years no means Of preventing
rabies was known to the medical pro-
fession. The Pasteur institute at the
university is the only one in the north
west outside Of the twin cities.

Machine COMPANY
IS IN GOOD SHAPE
Report is Erroneous that the
Rumely Co. is in Bad Finan-
cial Way-Large Profits.

The rumor TO the effect that the big
Rurnely Products Company vas to be
placed in the hands of a receiver is
without foundation. The immense
bushes done by the company in this
state makes the circulation of such a
rumor of great interest to farmers
and machinery men. The company is
in splendid shape.
The starting of the rumor is cred.
tied to the constant reorganization

nual report of the NJ. Rumely com.
will give some idea of the condition
of the corporation at that time.
Gross sales for the year 1912 were
$17.597.431.26. showing a large in
rease yer all previous years. When
reduced to n net basis by deducting
discount they were 41.5 per cent
greater than the aggregate Of the
sales of the previous year of the NJ.
Rumely company and the other COM
panies whose assets and business It
acquired.
The net profit for 1912 was s1,s24,.
900.
The past five years have been a
which the company has established
its position in the implement trade.
Its volume of sales increased from
ss21.000 in 1907 to $17.597.431.26 in
1912 (this latter figure including the
volume acquired by the purchase OF
the business of the Advance and Gaar-
Scott plants. amounting in 1911 to

teen-fold increase In its capital and
