Don't half feed the pure bred calf,
but remember the improvers of the
breeds were heavy feeders. If your
herd is to be up to the standard they
must be crowded when young. Grain
put into bull calves is we'll marketed,
and as soon as the calf is big enough
for service, if he is in good condition
and attractive, experience teaches
that there will soon be some one who
will give you your price. Remember
that a prospective purchaser is not
going to buy a bull that he does not
fancy and take him home and have
his neighbors make unkindly remarks
about himself and the bull. He wants
al animal, in general appearance, SUI
perior to the remainder Of his herd.
This applies to other breeds of pure
bred animals as we'll. Ten years ago
a neighbor weighed a pure bred three
year-old Percheron stallion on the col
lege scales. His weight was a little
gel 1,400 pounds. l remarked, He is
not very large for his age" "Oh, he
is of Mr.. So and Sos breeding of so
and So" This colt had had poor care
some time. This is one difficulty with
the pure bred business. Some people
will not feed to develop early matur-
ity, but will rely too much or the fact
that the animal is a pure bred.
Don't allow the young bulls to run
with the herd after they begin to be
troublesome, but take them up and
give them a grain ration. This will
hasten growth and retain the calf fat.
Don't allow young bulls to go until
they become unruiy, but break to the
halter when quite young. A few les
sons in the halter will soon be learned
and never forgotten.
Don't feed our young bulls on corn
entirely, as it is a too carbOnaceOus
ration. Balance with oil meal, cotton
seed meal, alfalfa or clover hay. Bet
ter growth of the calf will be secured.

The Northwest Farmstead, the north
west publication of the Orange Judd
Co., predicts dollar wheat, dollar corn
and dollar potatoes. The Farmstead
also predicts higher prices for dairy
products. The United States has the
biggest and best wheat crop ever grown
and other countries have nearly normal
yields, according to The Farmstead, but
the worlds production of oats, corn,
barley, rye, b]uckwheat and spelts is the
smallest ever known. This is the basis
for predicting dollar wheat. The corn
crop OF the United States may not ex-
coed 2,30O,O00,OCO bushels and the rest
of the world will harvest less than

Suggestions for This Work in the
Schools.
Preliminary to plant breeding a test
of varieties of plants should be made
for any neighborhood. More or less
unconsciously this is being continual
studied and the more promising and
often the best advertised sorts are
given a trial. Farmers discuss among
themselves whether durum or com.
mon wheat is paying the best in the
locality, and of the common wheats
whether fife or blue stem is to be
preferred.
In regard to the best varieties for
any locality, the teacher can gather
data from the pupils as to the com.
parative value of the different sorts
of wheat. Some of the pupils will
have ideas already at hand and 9TH
ers can get the ideas from home. The
teacher may not be able to secure &C.
curate knowledge regarding this mat.
ter, but she will learn what the opin.
ion is regarding the various sorts. II
durum wheat, for instance, or Sixty.
Day oats is not being grown, let her
determine why. The same program,
of course, can be carried out for 9th.
err grains and for other crops.
If an improved grain has been in.
troduced into the neighborhood the
history of it should be secured and
the teacher should learn it's be.

RIPE SEED CORN
SELECT 1T NOW
Valuable Pointers by Jas. W. Haw
Representative of Better Farm
ing Association.

Gehu corn should be PICKED for seed
now, as most of it has hardened.
Northwestern Dent is commencing to
dent and show the characteristic red
color. Waiting any longer for a frost to
hold off is dangerous, for although a
slight frost does not seriously injure it
for seed, 1t is rather difficult to tell just
how severe a frost will be. To one not
&C customed to selecting rather immature
corn for seed it will seem peculiar how
strong the seed will terminate even
though it we're picked in the milk and
dough stage, provided it was we'll cured.
Last year corn was picked in this county
and cured when in the milk stage, a
large percentage of these ears grew, as
we'll as those allowed to mature per-
fectly, although the kernels dried up
and became very chaffy. Do not be
discouraged if the corn is not hardened,
pick and cure some of it any way.
The best seed should be selected from
the standing stalks, and only those ears
placed at medium height should be
taken, as we want corr which can be
harvested With a binder, wlthoutcutting
into the ears. Also select from a leafy,
vigorous appearing stalk.
The easiest way of gathering the seed
ears is to sling a bag over the left Shout
der, with the opening in front, held
pen by a wire or two thirds of a nail
keg hoop. 1t will require some time
till the earliest part OF the field is locat-
ed, as in this country a field Is never
found which does not show spots earlier
than others. The ears most advanced
can be told only after repeated trials Of
pulling back the husk and looking, this
does not injure the ear, and is the only
sure method, however, as a rule, they
can be told by a brown dry silk: husks
commencing to turn along the edges:
ears hang tips down, and by the ear
pushing itself we'll up into the point of
the husk. OF course, select ears as far
advanced toward maturity as possible,
do not hunt for the large ear, but the
n that is medium sized, with straight
rows, cylindrical in shape, with a we'll
filed tip, and with a good clrcumfer-
n
Do not leave the ears, after picking, in
a pile on the granary floor. husk them at
once. hang them up IN strings, using
binder Irvine for this purpose, and place
the strings, in SOM place where the
temperature is even and there is a good
circulation of air, if possible where the
temperature does not get below freezing.
$50 to It's ears will make a bushel OF
shelled seed corn. When this many
ears have been selected. credit yourself
with three to five dollars, the usual
price OF seed corn, togethe. with the
ass urauce that next year you are taking
nobody's word as to kind OF seed corn
you are getting.

walloping out a homer, thought he
would take a rest in the eighth
inning and went to the clubhouse,
leaving recruit to take his place
in the final inning, but before go
ing to the dug-out, he took about
five minutes OF his time gathering
up his bats under his arm. And
the reason of all this is that Ba-
ker believes if another swings his
