The eye and ear test is all the rage
in Wisconsin this spring-not in the
doctors consulting room, however, but
on the farms.
1t is the greatest physical eXamlna'
ton Of corn recruits for the annual
battle against weeds and unfavOrable
weather that has taken place in Wis
cOnsin for some time.
Weakness or neutrality is not toler-
ated. But rigid tests must be applied
to all applicants for enlisting before
they can be accepted
First, the eye test is given. All
ears that have shrunken, discolored or
chaffy kernels, loose on the cob and
unpromising in appearance, are at
once rejected. Only ears with firm,
full-colored grain are passed on to the
second test for eligibility.
This test consists of taking out
about six kernels from the body of the
ear mot from the butts and tips) and
giving them the termination test in
cloth-roll testers or sawdust boxes.
By numbering the ears to correspond
with similarly numbered divisions on
muslin squares placed in the germina.
ton boxes, or marked upon the sur
face Of the cloth-roll tester, it is easy
to find the best recruits, based upon
their growing power.
Warmth and moisture is provided
in each to stimulate termination. The
first layer of sawdust in the box tester
is dampened, as we'll as the succeed
ing layers of muslin on which the kerr
nels are laid, and the top layer of saw
dust. The roll testers are soaked in
a pail Of lukewarm water before being
laid away for the test period of four to
six days. The tests are surest if made
in temperature of from 40 to 60 de-
grees.
More farmers are said to be apply
ing the systematic test for germina-

RULES TO OBSERVE
IN BUYING TREES

What kind Of trees are you going
to put in that orchard this spring?
This Is the question that everyone
who is thinking of making planta-
ton, no matter if it's one tree or a
thousand, should ask himself. The
Wisconsin State Horticultural society
and the horticultural department of
the experiment station are doing
everything that they can to help the
farmer answer this question, and they
have the results of the combined cxpe-
riences of growers all over the state.
In the annual report of the State
Horticultural society for 1915. which
has been issued recently, there is
given list of the varieties Of fruits
adapted to Wisconsin's varying soil
and climatic conditions The selec-
ton was made by the trial orchard
committee of the society, and is based
on hardness of the plant and the
fruit bud. Lack Of space prevents the
giving of this list here, but it would be
g good thing for every person who is
contemplating setting out fruit to get
the list recommended for his section
very carefully.
There are three things to consider
In the buying Of nursery stock: vari-
ETY., age and size. With regard to the
first, only adapted and well estab-
Iished varieties should be planted.
Age is a very important factor and
the horticultural department of the ex-
pertinent station recommends the
planting of one-year-old whips for the
commercial orchard, and two-year-old
trees for the home orchard.
Size is the least important factor
of the three, but it must not be over
looked. Good strong trees of a size
characteristic for the age and the va
riety should be selected. Not all va
rieties of certain fruit are the same
size at a given age.
The horticultural department OF the
experiment station and the State Hor-
ticultural society give the following
rules to be observed in the buying of
nursery stock:
1. Buy from local nurseryman
where possible and in this way see
what you are getting.
2. Insist on getting trees which are
free from insect pests and diseases.
8. Plant only varieties which are
adapted to Wisconsin conditions even
though the quality is not high as with
some Of the fruits grown farther
south Wisconsin does not have the
climate of some Of the states farther
south, and we must make the best of
our given conditions.
4. Get treeT where there is a prop
er distribution of the limbs, and where
the limbs and trunk are properly sep
srated.

neys If Bladder Bothers YOU
Meat Forms Uric Acid.

Eating meat regularly eventually
produces kidney trouble in some form
or other, says well-known authority,
because the uric acid in meat excites
the kidneys, they become Overworked;
get sluggish; clog up and cause all
sorts of distress, particularly backache
and misery in the kidney region; rheu-
matte twinges, severe headaches, acid
stomach, constipation, torpid liver,
sleeplessness, bladder and urinary ir-
ritation.
The moment your back hurts or kid
neys aren't acting right, or if bladder
bothers you, get about four ounces of
Jad Salts from any good pharmacy;
take a tablespoonful in a glass OF
water before breakfast for a few days
and your kidneys will then act fine.
This famous salts is made from the
acid OF grapes and lemon juice, CON-
bined with lithia, and has been used
for generations to flush clogged kid
neys and stimulate them to normal
activity; also to neutralize the acids in
the urine 50 it no longer irritates, thus
ending bladder disorders.
Jad Salts cannot injure anyone;
makes a delightful effervescent lithia-
water drink which millions OF men and
women take now and then to keep the
kidneys and urinary organs clean, thus
avoiding serious kidney disease.-Adv.

PROPER SHELTER FOR SHEEP
Wool Does Not Afford All Protection
Necessary During Winter as Gen.
orally Believed.

It was formerly quite generally
thought that the sleeps wool afforded
it all the protection necessary during
the winter. If the fleece could be kept
dry it probably would retain enough
body heat to keep the sheep warm,
but this is impossible without shelter.
When a fleece once becomes wet it
takes a long time for it to dry out,
especially if the weather is cold.
Much energy that would otherwise
be used for growth or fattening must
be used for evaporating this water.
The wet fleece also gives rise to IN
healthy conditions.
In Great Britain little housing is
necessary, but in most places in Amer
lea this would result in severe losses.

WATER FOR STOCK IN WINTER
AS Essential as Food in Wintering
Breeding Animals During Cold
Weather-Provlde for Supply.

Good water is as essential as food
in the wintering of breeding animals
and ample provision should be made
to provide the animals with an abun-
dant supply of good, pure water
throughout the winter. Other things
can possibly be dispensed with, but
pure water is indispensable.
Nor will we wonder when we know
that one-half the live weight of all
domestic animals is water. and that
water is the universal solvent, the me-
dunn by which organic and inorganic
substances that nourish the system,
are made available.

to the raising of beef cattle.
Beef making offers welcome sub
stitute to many dairy farmers who,
because of unfavorable conditions,
have been unable to make the milk
check equal the expenses.
LESS outlay is required for barn
room, equipment and maintenance.
Labor costs are few and this difficult
problem is simplified.
"The raising of beef cattle appeals
particularly to the farm owner who
because of other interests is unable
to give it his personal daily and con-
slant attention and the farm mana
ger question is, therefore, more cas-
lily solved.
Beef raising increases soil fertil
ity."

Sudden Death
Caused By Disease of the Kidneys

The close connection between the
heart and the kidneys is well known
nowadays. When kidneys are diseased,
arterial tension is increased and the
heart functions are attacked. When
the kidneys no longer pour forth waste,
uremic poisoning occurs and the per-
son dies, and the cause is often given
as heart disease, or disease OF brain
or lungs.
It is a good insurance against such
a risk to send 10 cents for large
trial package of "Anuric"-the latest
discovery of DIR. Pierce. When you
suffer from backache, frequent or
scanty urine, rheumatic pains here or
there, or that constant tired, WORKOUT
feeling, get "Anuric" at the druggist.
It's 81 times more potent than lithia,
dissolves uric acid as hot water does
sugar.

their base at Helgoland.
But they could no longer find the
way out. The gate and the net had
been closed. Two more were lost desper
