TEST YOUR SEED OATS.

Washington, d. c., April 29.-The
Seed Laboratory of the United States
Department of Agriculture has recent
ly made termination tests of seed
oats from the states of Indiana, Iowa,
and Kansas. These should represent
a fair average of the seed that will be
sowed this spring, as the seed came
from farmers in response to requests
for samples of the oats they are going
to SOW themselves.
The average termination was low
est for Indiana and highest for Iowa.
OF the 1900 samples tested from the
three states 26S or over per cent
terminated less than rs per cent, 122
samples or over four per cent germin-
ated less than so per cent, and 81
samples or nearly per cent germin-
ated less than % per cent. This shows
that much Of the seed oats intended
to be used this spring terminates
poorly and that termination tests
should be made in all cases before
sowing.
At the same time that the tests were
made SIG samples taken from car lots
Of commercial oats were tested, the
average termination being Is per cent.
This shows that where commercial
oats must be depended on for seed
supply it is even more important to
test the seed for termination than
when local supplies are relied on.
Seed showing a low termination
should either not be sowed or enough
extra seed should be used to insure
getting a good stand.

EGGS FROM REGULATORS
Don't Mix With Fresh Eggs For
Shipping to Market.
TENDS TO LOWER PRICES.
Farmer Should Send Only Fresh Eggs
to Market Thereby Maintain
ing Standard of Quality.

The mixing Of eggs taken from in
cubators with other eggs sent to mar
ket, as the practice has grown from
year to year. has tended to lower the
average prices offered for spring eggs
by cold-stOrage packers, who are i'm
pOrtant buyers at this season, says the
Government Bulletin. Spring ship
ments of eggs, free from incubator
eggs, are of such good quality that
packers do not have to go to the eX-
ira cost of Gambling each egg before
storing it. Such eggs can be clicked"
three at a time, to detect cracks, and
quality is determined by the fresh
powdery look of the shell. These
measures, however, will not detect
eggs which have been incubated and
failed to hatch and which are useless
for storage purposes, because, even
if not actually rotten when stored,
they soon become so.
When the egg packers are forced to
candle they quickly determine accur-
ately the average number of incuba-
tor eggs to the case from the different
collecting points and regulate their
prices accordingly. In final alaysis
therefore, the country shipper is paid
on the average for just what he ships
to the wholesale center, and he in
turn bases his payment to the pro-
Queer on his own returns.

InsufficientIy Fed and Neglected
Pigs Soon Become Infested.
A COMMON HOG DISEASE.
Victims Do Not Thrive Where They
Are Permitted to Sleep In Manure
And Battle in Old Hog WalIOWS.

Intestinal worms are common in
hogs and are particularly injurious to
growing pigs, says the Government
Bulletin. Insufficiently fed, neglected
pigs living in dirty pens and yards, fed
from filthy troughs, drinking contain
mated water, bathing in old hog wal
lows, and roofing and sleeping in man
ure piles and stack bottoms soon be-
come infested with worms, conse-
quently they do not thrive, but develop
into pot-bellied, rickety, profitless
runts. Pens should be kept clean and
dry and the manure frequently re-
moved.
1t has been asserted by various eX-
perienced feeders of hogs that a mix
ture of charcoal, ashes, lime, salt, sui
phur and cOpperas kept where the
hogs can eat it will tend to prevent
worm infestation. There is not as yet
positive experimental evidence in sup
port of the idea that such a mixture
will prevent worm infestation, but the
mixture does appear to satisfy the
hogs desire for mineral substances
and probably is of value as tonic and
appetizer. 1t may be made up in the
following proportions:
Charcoal, bushel.
Hardwood aches, buShel.
Salt, s pounds.
Air-sIaked lime, 4 pounds.
Sulphur, 4 pounds.
PulVerized cOpperaS, 2 pounds.
Mix the lime, salt, and sulphur thor
oughly and then mix with the charcoal
and ashes. Dissolve the copperas in
two parts of hot water and sprinkle
over the whole mass, mixing thorough
ly. Keep some of this mixture in
place in a self-feeder.
Santonin, which was formerly wide
ly used as remedy for worms in hogs
is practically unobtainable at the pres
ent time owing to foreign trade con-
ditions.
The following treatment has been.
found to be very effective against in
testinal worms in experiments con-
Quoted by the Geological Division of
the Bureau Of Animal Industry: With

Small pigs, to 3 months old, 80
drops; pigs weighing so to 100 pounds,
so to 100 drops; larger pigs, tea

Each pig should be dosed separately
if the best results are to be obtained.
Dangerous to Drench Hogs.
Drenching hogs is dangerous, as
they are liable to get the remedy into
the lungs. With sufficient assistance
pigs may be held, the mouth kept open
by means of a couple of loops of wire
or rope, and the medicine given di-
rectly in a tablespoon. By this meth
cd, though it is troublesome, one may
be certain that each pig gets his
proper share. After dosing, the pigs
may be fed and watered. Repeat the
treatment in 10 days.

BEWARE TURNIP-RAPE SEED.
Farmers Cautioned Not to Buy It
Department TO Examine Samples.

Two hundred thousand pounds of
turnip-rape seed, or enough to SOW ap-
pYoximately $4,000 acres, have been
imported from Argentina and Japan
and arc being sold as winter rape, says
the Government Bulletin. The seed
specialist of the department, there
fore, are again cautioning farmers
to avoid the purchase and seeding of
turnip rape-which is not winter rape
and is not suitable for the forage pur-
poses for which winter rape is grown.
The seeds of turnip rape are smaller
and have more deeply pitted surface
than those of winter rape. The
young plants are easily distinguished
by the difference in habit of growth
and the character and color of the
leaves. Winter rape produces a defin
mite stem, with the leaves occurring
along it at intervals. Turnip rape
does not produce a definite stem, the
leaves all growing in an apparent
whorl at the surface of the ground
The leaves of winter rape are thick
anu SuCCulGnIs lISS I1OLn ndIIS, dIlu
covered with a grayish bloom. The
leaves of turnip rape are thin, hairy,
and bright green, like those of the
garden turnip.
Persons purchasing rape seed may
submit samples to the Seed Laboratory
of the department for determination
as to whether the seed is that of tur-
nip rape or winter rape. Samples of
both turnip rape and winter rape seed,
for comparison, will be sent on appli-
cation to the Seed Laboratory.

GRAFT CHARGES
AGAINST WOMAN
Sensational Story By Chicago
Alderman Involves Mrs.
Rowe City Official.

Chicago, February 25.-A sensa
tional allegation of graft has made t.
a city council committee by Alder
man William E. Rodriguez, who
charges that Mrs. Page Waller Eaton,
lecturer, author and head of the bu-
reau of social survey under Mrs.
Louise Osborne Rowe, commissioner
of the bureau of public welfare, had
been compelled for months to pay ov-
er approximately one-third of her
salary to Mrs. Rowe.
The payments, it is alleged, were
always made in cash, and were said
to be for the benefit of needy rela-
tive of Mayor William Hale Thomp
son.
Alderman Rodriguez demanded
that the council committee investigate
the charges,
in order to protect herself after
the demands for money were made
last June" Alderman Rodriguez said,
"Mrs. Eaton went to her lawyer, Sey-
mour Stedman. After comforting
with him she called me in. | advised
her to ask for a council investigation.
She declared, however, that the debts
which were pressing her made her
fear for the loss of her position. She
decided to continue making the pay
ments. am told she paid more than
$500 to Mrs. Rowe. The payments
were made, she told me, in Install
ments of $43, paid twice a month.
The last payment was made January
4. AT that time she refused to pay
more. She resigned last Saturday" I"
Asked to whom the money was
turned over by Mrs. Rowe, Alder
man Rodriguez said:
According to the story, the money
was to 90 for the support of a need
relative of Mayor Thompson, a widow,
| am told. | saw the payment made
by Mrs. Rowe on June %, last year, :"
continued the alderman. Mrs.
Eaton attempted to make the pay
ments in the form of a check, but
Mrs. Rowe refused to accept them. :"
Mrs. Rowe and Mayor Thompson
asserted that the charges were "ab-
surd. "
