A.TooI Basket Is Always Handy

One secret of getting things done
quickly and easily is to have the
needed tools within easy reach of your
hand. For that reason every woman
should have her W special handy
tool basket filled with certain things
that may be needed to make small re-
pairs about the house just as the Jew
ing basket fitted out with sewing ne
cessities.
1t only takes some time and a little
money to get the tools together. A
grape basket or a fruit carrier makes
the holder for them. The basket is
better than the carrier because it has
a handle which will allow it to hang
from the arm leaving the hands free
to carry other things, an important
item when one is planning to save
steps.
A complete outfit which provides for
the common household contingencies
may be bought for 81. This includes
the following: Talk hammer, TO-; box
of tacks, &c.; brass hooks, &c.; assert.
ed nails, &c.; screw eyes, &C.; box open
er, lOc,; picture wire, TO-, ball of Irvine,
l0c,; pincers, 10c,; assorted crews, &c.;
brass-headed tacks, &c.; combination
toolholder, 10c. In the hollow handle
of this last tool you will find q tack
claw, screw driver, and two avis which
may be taken out and adjusted to the
handle when needed.

not consider myself a tramp, al

in Japan is 2,334 per square mile. As
to the proportion of sexes, Japan's
population is quite distinct from the

The best farmcrsand breeders from
all parts Of Kentucky will assemble at
the Agricultural College at Lexington
on January 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 9th to
hold what is designated as Farmers
Week" The four days will be de-
voted to the annual conventions and
shows of twelve state. wide associa-
tons Of stockmen, farmers, ETC., aside
from the womens work.
Reduced rates have been secured
over all railroads.
This season presents rare opportu-
nifty to meet the most successful men
in various lines Of farming. to hear
them discuss their methods and plans
and to see their exhibits. All is alb
solutely free. s.
Competitive exhibits Of corn, dairy
products, honey, horticultural prod
ucts and women's work will be held.
Handsome premiums have been pro-
vided for the winners in all these
classes. Frequently in the past, many
Of the classes have been poorly filled,
thus allowing single entries to win
valuable premiums without competi-
ton. This largely defeats the educa-
tional purposes of the shows and il is
hoped that this year the classes will
be much better filled.
While the cash and merchandise
premiums are valuable they are the
least gain that the visitors to the

tain. Every visitor will feel that he
has enjoyed liberal education and will
return home with renewed enthusi-
asm, ideas and determination.

1 used, the ears can be numbered in other ways.
 In single ear testing, two kernels
 from opposite sides oi the ear on the
 top, two from the middle, and two Efrom the butt are put in numbered squares or portions of germinating boxes or other testers The kernels are kept moist at a room temperature not above 90 degrees F. nor below 50 degrees F. After six or seven days the seed should begin to sprout Only those ears from which all the kernels give strong sprouts should be reserved for planting.
 Under ordinary circumstances, it may not be absolutely necessary to
 test individual ears. If large num- Der of typical ears show germinating tests as high as 97 per cent, the seed
 in general may be considered good
 Under the unusual conditions prevail
 ing this year. especially in neighbor- hoods where the corn did not mature normally, 1t should well repay corn
 grower to test every ear that he in- tends to use for seed. If he has any
 reason to doubt the quality of his in- dividual stock, the earby-ear testing is simply form of labor and crop in- surance.
 Before testing germination, the farmer should examine each ear and throw out all the ears which do not look right or which have several with cred or damaged kernels. He should strive to make up his seed from ears which in size and appearance seem to be normal for his variety of corn. Seed corn should be shelled if possible by hand to avoid the risk of damage by
 mechanical shelling. Before smelling
 the owner should pick out peculiar
 looking kernels and separate the seed into sizes so as to make certain that
 the corn drill will plant regularly

From the United States Department of
 Agricultural
 Testing seed corn for germination- always profitable farm practice-is an absolute necessity this year in many sections. In a number of dis tricts the last corn crop from which seed for the coming planting will be taken was late in maturing or so moist when harvested as to call for special precautions. A high moisture content makes seed corn particularly suscepti- ble to damage from freezing or heat ing. Farmers in the sections where corn failed to ripen normally who do not test their seed early enough to be able to replace their own bad seed with good seed secured from other sources will be taking an unnecessary risk. It is also especially important for holders of seed in such districts to take unusual care during the remain der of the winter to protect it from freezing.
 While complete testing for germina- tion should take place shortly before the seed is planted, the specialists of the department believe that it will be simple forehandedness for farmers who have any reason to be doubtful about the viability of their seed to make preliminary germinating test with few typical ears taken at ran dom from the rack.

mary tests show that the seed is good, cautions to guard it from weather damage. If, however, this test with few ears indicate that the seed is of low vitality, the farmer should at once make further tests to satisfy himself as to whether his seed corn generally is good or bad
 if farmer finds his seed is bad he should take steps at once to meet the difficulty. The purchase of seed should not be delayed till spring. especially when so much corn in various sections has been damaged. The farmer should secure his seed from well-known sources. buy it upon a germinating guaranty basis, and get his seed or typical samples early enough to make his own germinating tests. It is prob able this year that many farmers who have not followed the wise practice of selecting enough special seed from good crops to last them in an emer- gency for two or three years will have to buy seed. In buying seed, farmers should try to secure corn of varieties known to prosper in their section. The safest seed would be that carefully se- lected from good corn grown in the immediate neighborhood. but at any rate effort should be made to obtain seed grown in districts where climate, soil, and farming conditions in general are similar to those at home.
 If the farmer happens to have a stock of seed left over from the 1914 crop and doubts the seed saved from his 1915 crop, he would do we'll to test the older seed also and then use whichever shows the greatest vitality. Seed corn if properly cared for will retain its vitality for several years. Many farmers knowing this always select an extra amount of seed from an unusually good harvest.
 The following method of testing seed corn is taken from Farmers Bull letin 704. The corn is placed on dry ing racks made by driving wire finish ing nails about four inches apart on four sides of stick. A number is placed over tho nail and the butts of the ears are put on the nails. If wire fencing or other seed racks are
