THE FREE SEED FARCE.

1t is likely that the coming spring,
as in seasons past there will be dis
tributed under the signature of vari-
GUS congressman hundreds Of thou
sands Of packets Of very punk and
mediocre garden and flower seeds.
Time may have been when this method
Of free seed distribution was used by
the department Of agriculture to intro
duce new and valuable varieties of flow
er and vegetable seeds, but that time
Is past. The fact that the seeds are Of
varieties that are more than a quar-
ter Of century old and practically
worthless as compared with other
varieties that have been introduced
since makes this feature Of the free
seed distribution very much Of fiasco.
A good many folks are wondering II
there isn't some congressman In one
Of the two houses who has the nerve
and gumption to introduce bill which
will put a stop to this practice and
make 1t possible for the funds which
have been heretofore squandered to
be used in some legitimate and needed
channel for the promotion Of agri-
culture.

WHAT THE TAX MEANS.

The farmer Is the last man in tie
world who should take a hostile atti-
tude toward the levying of n tax hav-
ing for its object the building Of per-
manent roads, and yet there are tight
wads not few who put up boiler
when anything in the way Of a tax Is
proposed to make good roads possible.
Some Iowa grangers belonging to the
above class object to the one mill tax
which has been proposed to provide
good roads for the Hawkeye State. and
thereupon some one got busy with a
pencil. and the figures which are ap-
pended should be considered carefully
by these economical grangers. On in
quiry it was found that the 215.OOO
farmers Of the state were estimated as
worth in 1912 $1,664.S27 .521. 1t was
found that the taxable value Of the
average farm was 1881, and one mill
tax on this would be $1.93. II farmers
as class can't dig up 50 year for
the construction Of good roads, the
building Of which will result In greater
saving and convenience to them than
to any other class. they should be al
lowed to wallOw in the mud during the
rainy seasons until they can see the
advantage of the improvement and the
reasOnableness Of tax levy which will
make better roads possible.

A FEEDING EXPERIMENT.

Some feeding experiments conducted
last winter by the Pennsylvania ex-
pertinent station had in view seeing
how cheaply beef breeding cows could
be carried through the winter There
were ten ShorthOrn and ten Angus
cows. During the feeding period Of
40 days each COW was fed an aver
age of 57.64 pounds Of corn silage and
one pound of cottonseed meal per day.
With the silage worth $3.50 per ton.
and the cottonseed meal $50 per ton.
the average cost of feeding each ami
NAL for the period was Sigh. With
straw used in bedding worth 1894
and the care of each animal put at

the period was $22.O7. Crediting each
COW with manure worth 1898 and an
increase in weight worth $S.22. the net
cost of keeping each COW was 1922.

TANNING WILD DUCKS.

At the Storrs college. in Connecticut.
some interesting experiments have
been conducted the past few years
along the line of demonstrating several
species Of wild ducks. An expedition
was sent to Canada to secure the eggs
of wild fowl. including redheads, can
vasbacks and bluebills. These eggs
were put in incubators, and the duck
lipgs that Matched thrived. These
birds. now full grown, are in a state
Of lomestication. The success of the
experiment is attributed to the fact
that the eggs secured were Matched I'M
der domestic conditions, so that the
ducklings could have no remembrance
Of their wild life, for attempts at tam
ing were found to be practically useless
In case of ducklings, even though
caught when but few days old.

ADVANCE HINTS
FOR EASTER HATS
Small and Medium Sized Shapes
to Be Worn, and Ribbon and
Floral Trimmings Are to Be
Cleverly Featured.

)oMlNG early as Easter does
this year, woman's interest Is
turning to thoughts of hats.
Advance millinery displays are
crowded. and the consensus of opin-
ion is that small lad medium sized hats
will lead in popularity.
Upfurued bruins are seen on some OF
the smartest spring models. and these
brims are adjusted In quaint and strik-
ing ways. For instance. they may be
siashei open SO that the trimming en-
circiins the crown shows, or the brim
may be twisted. indented or adjusted
at souie move! angle.
The crowns are of medium height
and have less Of the freak aspect than
had those we have been having for
some time. The popular tam crown Is
still to be seen and Is made Of both
fabrics and straw. The rolling brm
Is expected to have considerable vogue.
The long line from front to back is
emphu sized In many new models. This
h called the aeropiane effect.
The double brim idea Is carried out
on some hats BY means Of plated Or
fulled ribbons.
Hemp Is to be the popular material
tor hats. Milan straws. horsehair
braids. peanut. panama and Ieghorn
are also to he worn.
Az to combinations. various straws
are used with one another. They are
alDo combined with woven fabrics,
such a. plush velvet. satin or crepe de
chine, and with the new brocaded cot
IN material In white and in colors.

granger Of the type that is pretty hard
to suit. Following q season In which
stock has been kept with a minimum
Of feed and care and when they have
CLEANED everything that was worth
anything from pasture and cornneld.
one of these chaps was bemoaning the
fact that there had been need for 30
little of the stored feed because of
the fact that he would not be able
to get so much for his hay. II 1t had
showed deep in November and this
farmer had had to feed all this hay he
would probably have kicked because
his feed was gone and he had to buy
high priced hay. It's mighty hard
job to please some folks.

CONCERNING POTATOES.

Just because potato prices were 80
low last fall that many growers at
points a considerable distance from
market centers preferred to let the
tubers rot in the ground rather than
dig them should not be considered
a valid reason for not planting as large
an acreage Of potatoes as one would
have planted had the price the past
season been satisfactory. As result
Of the low prices which have prevailed
thousands upon thousands Of those
who were not In potato raising as a
business will curtail acreage and hence
production. Other things being equal.
this will mean that prices will be like
ly to range higher the coming season
than the last.

CONDITIONS NOT FAVORABLE.

CONOuJuON0 WI TNvO"Noee'
The combination at present exisung
through practically all Of the corn belt
Of unusually high prices for feeders
and unfinished cattle stuff and the rel
atively low price Of corn can hardly be
viewed as anything less than q calam-
ity from the standpoint Of the farmer
who would be glad to feed and from
that of the soil, to which should be re-
turned in the shape Of manure as much
as possible Of the fertilizing elements
contained in crops produced. As the
situation is, even though corn is low
priced, one runs good deal Of risk
feeding for several months when the
price he may get at the end of that
time or a longer interval may not be
any more per hundredweight than be
pays for the feeders to begin with.
