BETTER SEEDS ARE REQUIRED
Cheat Is One of the Most Dangerous
Weeds That Can Be Planted-Have
All Seeds Tested.

If there are two dodder seeds in an
ounce of alfalfa seed which the farm

has been issued by the seed testing
laboratory in the Kansas experiment
station to watch out for adulterated
seed and seed which has low germinat-

Farmer. Seed can be sent to the
laboratory to be tested.
A sample of meadow fescue which

seed sold in the state. A dealer IN
southern Kansas recently shipped IN
from outside the state two carloads If
kafr Upon being tested by the col
lege it was found that so per cent
would not terminate. This seed kafir
was then sold by the dealer for chick
en- feed.
A farmer had ordered feterita seed
which was worth $3.50 bushel, last
spring, and when the seed arrived he
found he had bought lowgrade kafir,
which was worth 81 bushel. Sweet
clover is often adulterated; in some
cases the samples had been composed
almost entirely of alfalfa seed.
The seed control station has an
alyzed about 1900 samples of seed for
seed dealers and farmers in the last
year.

CHOOSE BIRDS FOR BREEDING
Breed Type Is First Thing to Look
For-Constitutonal Vigor Is OF
Much Importance.

It might be we'll to point out a few
Of the important things to be looked
for when choosing the birds for the
breeding pen. Let us first take it for
granted that the breeder is keeping
a pure breed. Then the first thing to
look for in his breeding birds, both
males and females, is breed type. A
bird that has breed type is one that
is of correct size; has the correct
comb shape; the correct body shape;
and the correct color for the particu.
lar breed to which the individual be.
longs. The next characteristic to look
for, and one that is of paramount i'm
portance, is constitutional vigor. The
reason that our pure breeds have not
reached higher general average from
a utility standpoint is because they
have been selected largely f!eFF> f fcsffeey
feathers and body, shape, sacrificing
the imn99ffttaai1t utility characteristics of
-gfze, and especially constitutional
vigor.
Constitutional vigor is of Importance
first, because it determines to a large
extent the productive and disease re-.
sisting capacity Of the individual hen
or male bird, and, because it deter.
mines largely to what extent that

THE PENALTY Of
CARELE:SSNESS
BY S. w. Inglish,
Fire Prevention Expert,

Every time you hear the cry OF
"Fire!" you can be almost absolutely
safe in thinking that someone has
been careless. Fires don't happen.
They ars the inevitable result OF
combinations Of preyentable things,
When analysed to the last equation
1t will be found that carelessness is
the root whence spring nearly all
fires,
What q penalty industry pays to
carelessness! Fire is the great de-
stroyer. The wealth of generation
can be wiped out in but brief hour,
Why not fight fires before they
start? Why not SO conduct your
habits and so keep your premises
that when the fire demon wants to
offer your savings as a sacrifice he
will pass you by, just as those of
Egypt of old were passed over when
the sign they had been told to place
over their doors, were seen?
Too often when those who are
responsible from fire cry out they
are the victims of bad luck, they are

How Cattle~Range Is
Injured by Fires

There is an impression in some
sections that fires improve the
cattle range, and many fires are
set out in other peoples woods by
men who want free range for their
stock and think burning the woods
will improve the range. This is
all wrong from every standpoint.
In the first place no one has any
more right to set fire to some one
else's woods than to his house or
barn, and in the second place the
range is injured and not improved
Fines burn up the litter on the
ground, and the decaying leaves
and other plant material which con-
stitute the humus. 1t is this humus
tha makes the soil black, fertile
and porous. Without it, trees and
grass cannot get enough food and
moisture from the soil to make
good growth. The good grasses
starve for lack of food and water,
and what is left makes very poor
range.
1t would take too much space to
describe how game animals and
game birds and song birds that are
busy all day long devouring in
furious insects are killed or driven
away by forest fires, and how the
springs and streams are drying up
and low water and freshets both
becoming more severe as a result
of forest-fres. The question is,
What can be done about it? The
State of Virginia is looking for a
solution of the problem and already
has laws providing fneor imprison-
ment for setting fire to anyone
else's woods. 1t is also illegal to
burn brush without taking all pos
sible precaution against the spread
o; lie fire, and redress can be OBJ
'aiued by anyone injured by such
a fire. Logging and Railroad To-
comotives, sawmills, etc., are re-
quired tie carry sufficient spark ar
rest ers. And Forest Wardens may
be commissioned by the Governor
to enforce the fire laws, under the
direction of the State Forester, and
to fight fires, etc. "a copy of the
fire laws WILDE sent free on request
to the State Forester, University
of Virginia, Charlottesville, Va.)
But unfortunately there has not
vet been any money appropriated
with which to pay Wardens for en-
forcing the laws and fighting fires.
The next Legislature is expected to
come to the rescue in this en-
Urgency and make it possible to
have an effective fre-protection
organization. In the meantime
much good can be accomplished by
putting up warning-notices and
spreading knowledge of the fire
laws and arousing interest in fire
prevention. These notices can be
secured free of charge from office
of this paper or will be mailed on
application to the State Forester,
at Charlottesville, Va.

VIII Supply High
lard Farmers

Commissioners Koiner has made
arrangements to furnish the farmers
of Virginia bacteria to SOW on land
that will greatly increase the crop
where the soil is lacking in this
kind of bacteria. This applies only
to the nitrogen gathering plants,
the legumes, such as all the clover
family, cowpeas, alfalfa, soy beans
and so forth. This bacteria is
made for the Department and is
furnished to the farmers at cost,
namely. for one acre 80 cents, for
five acres 40 cents per acre.
Very often the use of bacteria
will double the yield of the crop.
This bacteria is not a fertilizer and
does not act well on sour land.
Full directions will be sent by Com
missioner koner to any one desir-
ing the information. This bacteria
is minute plant that absorbs the
nitrogen from the air and feeds the
plant. Almost all soils are defici-
ent, more or less, in nitrogen and
nitrogen is the most costly ingredi-
ent in fertilizers. The use of this
bacteria will often insure a good
crop that without it's use would be
a failure.
These cultures are shipped in
bottles in a jelly condition, which
is diluted with water and mixed
with the seed just before they are
SoWn.

sIL0 PROVIDES CHEAP FEED
Best Results Secured From SilaGe
When Used With Leguminous Crop
Most Excellent for Cattle.

The silo is one Of the best means
we have of providing cheap feed and
increasing the stock carrying capacity
Of the farm. 1t converts cheap fodder,
80 to 40 per cent of which generally
is wasted, into a palatable, succulent
feed, all of which is utilized.
Silage always should be fed with a
dry roughage and when used with cot
tonseed meal it makes the utilization
of other coarse feeds such as straw
possible.
The best results from silage, how
ever, will be obtained when it is used
with leguminous hay. 1t is one of
the cheapest feeds we have for breed
ing, growing, or fattening cattle.

Avoid Sedative Cough Medicine


If you want to contribute directly to
the occurrence of capillary bronchitis
and pneumonia use cough medicines that

other sedatives when you have a cough
Hr cold. An expectorant like Chamber

1t cleans out the culture beds or breed
hg places for the germs Of pneumonia
and other germ diseases. That Is why
pneumonia never results from a cold

The Submarine

SaluruaY EcFeHlDS oSt
BY one Of the amiable rules of
war, soldiers may take fearful
reprisal for any attack on them by
q civilian. Immediately on entering
Belgium the German Army l@r it be
known that if civilian fired on them
not only be but every male in tAe
house whence the shot came wo id
be executed; and they applied this
rule with that rigorous thorough
ness for which Prussia's military
conduct has long been famous.
II standing case of unhappiness
to American war correspondents
was the certainty that if any in
tox;cated or otherwise irresponsible
citizen should happen to shoot at a
uniform from their habitations,
they would be introduced to fir
ing party first, and the detailed
circumstances of the case possibly
investigated afterward. Louvain
was laid waste, with much blood
shed, because of civilian attack
on soldiers. Many smaller towns
suffered the same fate for the same
reason.
The excuse is that soldiers must
know whom they are fighting
They assume that man in civilian
dress is a noncomhatant and, there
fore, let him alone; but he must
strictly live mp to that assumption
or he would have them at q dis
advantage.
1t is, of course, barbarous rule;
but it is binding in whatever mill
tary law there is, and in practice.
If it is binding its converse ought
to be, and the deliberate killing Of
an actual noncombatant by a SOLD
er ought to be regarded as mere
mprden.T 2 2 THE 3 Horrible ven
gcance for a shot fired by sup
posed noncombatant, and then in
cold blood to kill an actual noncom-
batant, will never DO.
If a submarine cannot operate
. effetualy without killing noncom-
batants, then it must not operate
at all. Unquestionably that will
be the worlds Judgment. AS a
matter of fact, the effectuall opera
tons of submarines in this war
that have really counted at all
have consisted in the sinking Of
war vessels.
The sinking of mercant ships has
not changed the military situation
in the least. So far it has merely
generated an odium, which counts
a heave liability in a world where
public opinion is, after all, a great
force. War may temporarily sus-
pend it's operation, but not abro-
gate it.
We have no doubt Germany
could have better afforded the loss
of dozen army brigadcs than the
sinking of the Lusitania.
