GOOD SEED CORN is DEFINED
Should BE Well Adapted to Seasonal
and Soil Conditions-Make Sc
lection From Stalks.

Many consider seed corn good sim
plv because it will grow. To be first
class it must be-
Well adapted to your seasonal and
soil conditions.
Grown on productive plants of pro-
ducing variety.
Well matured and be preserved from
rfpening time to planting time in
way to retain it's full vigor.
Varieties that produce most in some
states are the poorest in others.
Seed ears taken from high-yielding
rows have repeatedly produced more
corn than ears taken from poor-yielc-
ing rows.
.Well-preserved seed corn will give
IL per cent higher yield than poorly
kept seed. on poor soil, and q per
cent higher on fertile soil.
Much the best way to select seed
corn is from stalks standing where
they grow. as soon as ripe and before
the first freeze.

NOTES ON MILK SANITATION
Covered Pail Keeps Out Dirt-Let
Sunlight Into Barn-Whitewash Is
Effective Disinfectant.

See to it that your bottled milk does
not show sediment; If so give the
hooded or covered pail a trial, to.
gether with the usual straining-it
will bring results.
Clean up your barns and cows and
keep them clean. Cut some windows
in the milking barn and let all the
sunlight in that you possibly can.
Do not advertise the fact that you
are lax with the disposal of the ma.
nure by letting the pile accumulate
near the barn.
Wash your hands and put on clean
clothes before milking and see that
your help does likewise. You will
take more pleasure in drinking the
milk when you sit down to your own
table.
Do not tolerate the practice of milk
ing with moist hands; it is a very un-
clean practice at best.
Brush down the cobwe3s and put a
coating of whitewash all over your
cow stable once and see how much
better it looks to you; then get the
habit of doing the same thing often.
Whitewashing is a cheap and effec-
tive way to secure change for the
better. 1t not only brightens up the
place. but acts as disinfectant as
well.-Office of Dairy Experiments

MIXTURE FOR PASTURE
Variety of Seeds for Securing
Hay Crop of Good Quality.
Plan Outlined for Permanent Sod That,
If Properly Cared For, viii I'M
prove With Age-Mulch AZ
fords Protection.

Instead of seeding timothy alone,
the following mixture is suggested,
per acre: Timothy, ten pounds; red
clover, eight pounds; alsike. two
pounds; orchard grass, four pounds;
Italian rye grass, five pounds; English
rye, four pounds; meadow fescue, four
pounds. Such a mixture will give
heavier hay crop and hay Of better
quality than timothy alone, and when
left as pasture will afford much
greater quantity of forage throughout
the growing season besides being ear
Tier. Kentucky bluegrass will usually
come into the pasture of its own ac-
cord but can be fastened by seeding
about five pounds with the mixture
mentioned above. If the grasses men
toned above are not available, then a
mixture of twelve pounds OF timothy,
eight pounds of common red clover,
four pounds of mammoth clover and
four pounds of alsike may be seeded.
The grasses should be seeded In. the
fall with the winter grain and the
clovers in the early spring when the
frost goes out, or both may be seeded
together with the spring grain. Ii
grass-seed attachment to the grain
drill is not available, the seed may be
mixed in the proper proportions with
the grain in the grain box and al
lowed to run down the grain tube
with the grain.
The timothy and clover will be
available for hay the first year after
the grain is cut. BY the third year
good permanent sod will be secured
that, If properly cared for, will i'm
prove with age. Such pastures will
not produce much feed during periods
of intensive drought, but If they have
been properly cared for will begin to
grow again as soon as rains come. 10
avoid as much as possible the injury
from drought it is essential that pas
lures be not grazed too closely There
should be a good green cover or
grass mulch in order to protect the
roots from the hot sun. Such pas
ture will remain green longer during
dry weather and will begin to grow
as soon as the drought Is broken. thus
shortening the period of bare pas
lures.

the cows could be tied up while being
MIXED and while eating their silage

the regular sanitary stable. What

In handling COWS watch their drop
pings and feed SO that the droppings
will be like they are when the cows
are on good pasture. The profits in
many herds are lost because the cows
are fed combinations of feeds that
make them constipated. Feed the COW
laxative feeds for two months before
her calf is due. Twenty-four hours be-
fore the calf is expected If she is con-
stipated at all, give her one and one
quarter pounds of EPSON salts dis

GOOD DEMAND FOR PUMPKINS
Always Market in Cities for Nice
Specimens OF Pie Materiai-Me-
dunn Sizes Preferred.

There is always marke. in the
cities, at fairly good prices, for nice
specimens of pumpkins and squashes
that will make good pie material.
Grocers handle few. and others can
be retailed readily. For this trade,
medium-sized specimens of good quail
ity are preferred over the large over
grown ones.
The old reliable Hubbard is a good
variety of squash to grow for market
purposes, and one OF the small pie
pumpkins that possesses good quail
ity is better than the large varieties
which are usually growl for stock
food.
