common impurities of commercial
small seeds? Why cannot a farmer
with some little knowledge of seed
termination and plant growth make
termination tests for himself? He
could easily learn to make both for
purity and termination tests for
himself. Any good farmer can see
whether or not seeds are plump,
bright, fresh and reasonably pure
and he car easily test a seed to see
whether it is strong and capable of
giving a good stand or not. Any
good farmer will see the possibility
Of growing seed by cleaning and
grading it with a good tanning mill
A fairly satisfactory purity test may
be made as follows:
Secure q sample Of seed fairly rep
resenting the bulk lot. Mix this
thoroughly with q separate or a
knife Take a table spoonful of
this seed and separate into pure seed
wed seed, adultrants (if these can
be recognized) and inert matter,
such as grit, chaff, broken stems,
etc. Estimate as nearly as possible
the proportion of each of these con-
stituents. Identify each kind of
weed seed and note the quantity of
each. A little calculating will give
a rough idea of the number of each
sort of seed that would be scattered
on a square rod or an acre, if seed
of the kind being examined were
sown. If suitable scales are avail
able the work can be done much
more accurately. Some study of
weeds, weed seeds and other impur-
tiles is necessary, if this work is to
be of real value.
To make a termination test of
seed, count out 100 seeds from the
pure seed pile. Take two ordinary
dinner plates ard piece of conton
flannel twice as long as the diameter
Of one Of the plates. Dampen it
thoroughly and lay on a plate, Scat
ter the seeds on the part of his
cloth which rests on the plate, no
two seeds touch ny. Folding the
other half of the flannel over the |
seeds, invert the second plate over
h. first, and place in a room in /
which the temperature does not fall !
below So degrees at anytime. In
wo or three days count and remove I
he sprouted seeds. Count and re-
move similarly each day thereafter,
i'll the end of the sixth or seventh
lay. Suppose that in all, 80 seeds
laye terminated. The seed is then
aid to have terminating power of
10 per cent.
To be able to make purity and
tests of small seeds is
'ften of great advantage, as may be
eadilv understood. Bulletin No.

agriculture, is extremely useful for

ity with weed seed impurities an,
with adulterants and through lac
of any analysis or guarantee attach

These details in the aggregate ar
of immense importance, Not al
factors entering into the problem O

crops can be controlled by the farm
er out over the selection of seed
corn, oats, wheat, clover, alfalfa,
grasses, etc. for use on Tennessee
farms, a large measure of control can
be exercised.
This is.a matter of study and
training which the right kind of a
farmer will seek to acquire as a
necessary part of his equipment for
the business Of farming. For this
kind of MISUNDERSTANDING in seed
selection and improyement-oppor-
tunity is offered in ali our short
cources, in the agricultural classes
Of our schools, and in the publica-
tions of various State institutions,
and Of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, and through
careful observation on the part of
the individual desirir G the training.
Some excellent literature on seed
corn has been published. Expert
ments have shown that our average
yield per acre could be increased
several bushels easily, by due atUen.
ton to the selection of varieties and
the proper preparation of seed. The
achievements of few of our corn
growers who have studied their bust
ness very carefully have attracted
nation wide attention.
Corn, wheat and oats have COM
paratively large seeds and to the e
crops much attention has been given
during recent years. Concerning
the smaller seeds-clover, alfalfa
and the grasses-which are compar-
atiyely small and difficult to size up,
something should be said here. ]. |

SAMPLE OF WAR "RBVENGE."
French Repay Old Debt Incurred
Years Ago at Sedan.

London, Oct. 1.-During the STRAIT
egical retreat of the allies southwark
from the Belgian frontier the French
troops eXacted from the Germans
bloody revenge for the French defeat
at Sedan "A years before.
On this same battlefield, according
to the Nails Paris correspondent, the
Germans suffered one of the worst
defeats of their present invasion.
They were led into a trap which cost
them thousands of men, he says. The
French could have held their posi-
tions indefinitely, but strategy re-
with the remainder Of the allies
along the line. Here is the story of
the second battle of Sedan told the
correspondent:
"The French general ordered his
troops to fall back across the river
and take up positions on the oppo-
site heights. The bridges were
mined, but were left standing in Or
der to deceive the Germans into
thinking that the French were re-
treating hastily. The ruse succeeded.
The Germans advanced across the
bridges in close formation. When
several German regiments had cross
cd the French blew up the bridges
and the French artillery started fir
ing at a hundred German columns
which retreated hastily to the river
only TO find the bridges gone
'"The French regiments then ad-
yanced with quick firers and the mer-
ciless Staying continued until dusk
Many Germans threw down their
arms and attempted to swim the
river and large numbers were drown
cd. When nighJ-ral came the
French brought up searchlights and
continued the work of carnage.
'The artillery threw shells at the
rate of a dozen rounds minute into
the forest where part of the German
force had taken refuge. The burning
woods lit up the whole front of Is
miles.
"ln the morning an armistice Of
two hours was granted to allow the
Germans to bury their dead. The
French had suffered the loss Of only a
handful"

BIG FIREWORKS EXPLOSION.
Four Killed and Plant Demolished.
Others Missing.

Chicago, Sept. 30.-H. b. Thearle,
president Of the Pain Fireworks Dis
play Company OF America, and three
employees were killed to-day by an
explosion that destroyed the COM
pany's plant here. In addition to
Thearle, Florence Hill, stenographer;
Il. Nj. Connor, salesman, and r. H.
Wolfe, shipping clerk, were killed
Jos. Johnson, an electrician, is miss
ing.
John Costello, an Office boy, was
blown through a door and may die.
Firemen tonight thought that other
bodies might be under the debris.
The explosion took place in the
steel and concrete vault of the COM
pany's building in which fireworks
were stored. The vault was blown to
atoms and several other buildings
were damaged and many persons
were injured by broken glass.
The explosion, it was said. might
have been caused by a spark from
wiring which Johnson, the missing
electrician, was adjusting.

IMPORTANT TO ALL WOMEN
READERS OF THIS PAPER

Thousands upon thousands Of wo-
men have kidney or bladder trouble
and never suspect it.
Women's complaints often prove to
be nothing else but kidney trouble,
or the result of kidney or bladder
disease.
If the kidneys are not in healthy
condition, they may cause the other
organs to become diseased
You may suffer great deal with
pain in the back, bearing down feel
ings, headache and loss of ambition.
Poor health makes you nervous,
irritable and may be respondent; it
makes any one so.
But hundreds Of women claim that
DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root, by restor-
ing health to the kidneys, proved to
be just the remedy needed to over
come such conditions.
A good kidney medicine, possess
ing real healing and curative value,
should be a blessing to thousands of
nervous, over worked women.
Many send for a sample bottle to
see what Swamp-Root, the great Kid
ney, Liver and Bladder Remedy, will
do for them. Every reader of this
