GOOD SEED.
What 1t Means to the Farmer-Seed
 Laws.

Seed of many crops will be scarce this spring and consequently high in price. The tendency will be therefore to buy the lower grades at lower prices a practice all too common in average years, as is proven by tle large season.
 Value of Good Seed.
 It is safe to say that no man ever saved money by buying cheap seed The lower grades always contain more week seeds and dirt, and are of lower germination. If the price is 10 per cent. lower than the best grade the actual amount of pure, viabie seed Is often 15-20 per cent. lower. It is plain to see then that one pays more for the actual seed purchased by buying cheap grades than by paying the high l CT price for the best. Not only is this point to remember, but cheap seed seeding a field to an unwelcJme crop | That will take years to eradicate. Weeds come in fast enough from other sources without buying the seed and sowing them on the land.
 | Dealers usually carry the goods that
 the trade demands. If purchasers re- | fuse to pay the price for pure, fresh l seed, none will be carried in stock.
 For 1t does cost more to produce good 1 seed than poor and as a result a high | CT price must be charged. The whole
 saler carries several grades and sup
 plies the retailer with the good or
 poor as the trade requires.
 | It stands to reason that some years ' are more favorable for the production of good seed than others. As a re- suit the price fiuctuates. Last season was unfavorable for many seed crops Price are high this spring. The poor economy of using low grades is just as marked however. Demand the best
 grades and If the price is too high get quotations from several dealers This is a practice followed by too few
 farmers.
 Seed Laws.

Some states re- quire a guarantee of Purity and Ger. imitation percentage, others only Purity and In still others both are op. ] tfonal. The best firms are now fur.

Temperature, Light and Moisture Should Be Just Right or Young Chickens Will Be Weakened
IN USING THE INCUBATOR.

The most critical period in the in cubation of hens eggs is after the 18th day when the fully developed chicken works it's way into the world ty breaking the shell which has pro- tected it during it's development. There are a great many things that can hapen to the chicken at this time which will result in a poor hatch or which do live.
 As soon as the eggs arc pipped, which normally should be on the 18th day, the incubator should be closed until the chickens are all matched and dried off. It Is great mistake to open and close the incubator for the purpose of watching the chickens hatch because the cold air which rushes into the machine as soon the

CROP ROTATION.
No Hard and Fast System Can be Laid Down For Any Community.

The most profitable crop rotation Foes not consist merely in changing he crops around from year to year, regardless of the relation of the crops to each other. The central aim in all crop rotation systems should be to leave each field in a better state of cultivation, better physical condition, and reasonably free from pests at the end of each rotation cycle.
 No hard and fast rotation system can be laid down for any community. but the most profitable system must deed, for each field. There are cer- tain general principles, however, that should be borne in mind in this con- nection in order to accomplish the most satisfactory results. For soil improvement there should be at least one leguminous crop in each rotation cycle. To this class of plants belong the clovers, alfalfa, peas, beans. etc. There should be also a sufficient quan- tity of live stock, especially milch cows. on each farm to utilize the roughage and to supply the desired addition to green crops plowed under will furnish the necessary amount of humus to the soil. The conditions re- sulting from this treatment, if the soil Is properly handled. will make the succeeding crops more vigorous and capable of offsetting, in some measure at least, the effects of any pests that may appear. Again, the successive crops in any rotation should be so se- iected and arranged that no two upon
 which the same pest may thrive will
 be grown in succession. The princi- Dles of disease control by means of crop rotation are based upon the fact that certain pests can thrive only on | certain kinds of plants. Therefore when the crops are changed and the food supply thereby cut off, the pests
 must perish or be greatly reduced in
