LOCAL GAME PRESERVE
State Makes Big Reservation In
Mahaska County.

George c. Cooper, of Des Moincs,
assistant state fish and game warden,
was in town Saturday and with the CO.
operation of number Of enterpris-
ing local farmers established a game
preserve in Harrison and Cedar town.
ships. A meeting of those inter- sted
was held in the Farmers club room
at the court house, about twenty-five
being present. The preserve will be
located near Cedar and will contain
from 5000 TO 1000 acres of land. The
preserve will be stocked with Hun
gaTian partridges and other game
birds, by the state, and the farmers
have agreed to give the birds protec-
ton for at least five years. Hunting
will be positively prohibited and the
land owners will not kill any OF the
birds themselves From 25 to 40
pairs of the Hungarian partidges will
arrive during the week and be placed
on the preserve. The birds come from
the state game farm near Des Moines.
Later on, Ring Neck pheasants will
be added. Like preserves have been
established In other parts of the state
and ii is hoped that Iowa in a few
years will again be stocked with wild
birds to take the place of those ex-
terminated by sportsmen.

A DEFINITION OF THRIFT

A Pennsylvania girl has won the
prize that the American Society fol
Thrift recently offered for the best
definition OF thrift Thrift" she
wrote, is management of your affairs
in such a manner that the value oil
your possessions is constantly being
increased" The definition is a good
one. II is in line with what DR.
Smaller Mathews had previous writ,
ten. to-wit:
by thrift is meant simply that way
of living which Systematically trans
fers a portion OF ones income to
ones capital. 1t is not consistent with
generosity; il is not synonym OF
niggardliness."

TO TEST SEED CORN

The st. Louis Grain Club urges the
use of this simple, but thoroughly re
liable testing method for seed corn
Use q piece Of cheap domestic, a
-four or wheat sack, or old table
cloth, abont 36 inches long and II
inches vide. This is size for testing
six ears OF corn (enongh to plant one
half acre). Spaces for seed, four in
ches square, numbered the same as
The ears for Identification.
Wet cloth and wiring moderately
dry. Take two grains from tip, two
from center and two from the butt
OF the ear and place in proper square
Turn up the lower third of cloth
then fold down the upper third, so as
TO hold seed firmly in place and pre-
vent mixing.
Roll this around a well moistened
core [ a strip OF cloth about -four
inches wide and long enough to
make a compact roll one and one-hali
10 two inches thick. Then bury in
a bucket or box OF damp sawdust OF
sand and place in a moderately warm
place for five days.
Its condition will then determine
the ACCESSIBILITY OF ssing corn iol
seed. Use your common sense. Yov
know vigorous root and stalk sprouts
Take no chance on weak vitality.
The same method with but Sigh
modification may be used in determ
ming the terminating quality of Oats
(Of course, less time Is required)
Oats seeding is so near at hand
that a farmer can do no more now
than test his seed and SOW enough
additional per acre TO make up for
low vitality.
The above is only one OF severa
processes. State Agricultural Col
ieges also tell how 10 test. but the
method Is immaterial The point the
ST. Louis Grain Club emphasizes u
that all seed corn aud oats shonld be
tested In some manner. and none A.
simpler than the above.
