Honolulu was bird of passage,
strongly domiciled in an alien land.
A wild goose of superior endurance
and flying power, it had landed down
in the poultry yard among other more
civilized fellows about a year previ-
Gus. There was jagged wound in its
neck and as Jared came to examine
this, he found imbedded within it the
broken off stone head of an arrow
1t was by pure accident that this
arrow had played an important part
in the fortunes of Jared. He CHANGED
to relate the incident to college pro-
fessor, whose fad was archaeology and
kindred sciences. The professor took
an interest in the circumstance The
arrow head was one identified as used
by an obscure tribe in the Sandwich
Islands. 1t was apparent, therefore,
that Honolulu had winged a memoir

G. the fowl was published in several
scientific journals, the name Of Jared
was duly used, and he was pulled up
greatly when made member of the
National pathological society.
That was not all. AS he became
familiar with Honolulu and got to
studying the fowl, he discovered that
the intelligent bird was natural
weather glass. That "Honk Honk!"
clarion note was diverse, but depend
able. In time Jared could translate
the circumscribed goose dialect to a
point where the changes in the baro-
meter were vocally announced and
rain, wind or murkiness predicted two
days in advance with unerring accur-
acy, and Jared Dunn took due credit
to himself for his invincible weather
representations, never mentioning
Honolulu as the source of his erudite
efficiency.
Jared Dunn had a nephew, his only
living relative, estranged for some
time. He was Harvey Bross and was
now working hard and for small pay
in the village. Harvey was in love
with Vera Morton. They were too
poor to marry as yet, but courtship
had been a delight and they were loyal
and hopeful.
The Morton family lived quite q
distance from the town. One morning

SO doing fills the stable air with

Ts.+ Your Seed Oats.

The seed laboratory of the United
States department Of agriculture has
recently made termination tests OF
seed oats from the states Of Indiana.
Iowa and Kansas. These should rep
resent a fair average of the seed that
will be sowed this spring, as the seed
came from farmers in response to re-
quests 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 268 or over 9 per cent
terminated less than rs per cent, 122
samples or over per cent terminated
less than so per cent, and 81 samples
or nearly per cent terminated less
than Is 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 SIC samples taken from car lots
Of commercial oats were tested. the
average termination being, 7s 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 good stand

Test Seed Corn No,O
or Never and inuite
Improbable Stand

With the time for corn planting
coming nearer and nearer, and the
matter OF good seed still unsettled in
many places, the farm crops section
Of the Iowa agricultural experiment
station has issued q final warning to
farmers that it is absolutely necessary
to plant good seed and that the only
way to know what is good Is to make
L test Of every ear shelled for plant
ing. The statement Of the Ames men,
based on visits to all parts of the
state, may be summed up as follows:
/. The character of the 1916 corn
crop depends absolutely on the indi-
vldual ear test.
2. There is enough seed corn in the
state 'of Iowa to plant this next years
crop, providing the individual ear test
is used effectively.
8. There is very little corn in Iowa
which is fit for seed in it's present con-
fition. If there is o~be enough seed
to plant this years crop it will be alb
solutely essential that much Of the
corn, which gives a low termination
test, be gone over by the individual
ear method. to separate the good ears
from the bad.
4. In many localities nearly one
half of the farmers will need to pur-
chase some seed corn this year.
8. If seed must be purchased, get
your seed now. Get it and test it at
once.
6. 1t is neither safe nor necessary
to buy seed from distant points, OF
which nothing Is known regarding
either its value or its adaptation to
Iowa conditions.
Z. Locally produced seed will give
a greater yield of better duality corn
than that brought from distance.
Get seed in your own immediate To-
cality II possible.
s. Don't buy seed from an agent.
IF you buy from seed company. buy
from one which has years Of honest
business to its credit. 1t is best to be
on the safe side. Therefore use only
the safe method.

OATS AND BARLEY MIX WE'LL.
Can Be Grown Together to Make Good
Pasture or Feed.

Can Be Grown Together to Make Good
Pasture or Feed.
\ Oats and barley mixed together will
give greater yield than either crop
grown separately, say the crop experts
at the Iowa agricultural experiment
station.
A mixture of oats and barley is
grown primarily for feeding purposes.
The combination when ground makes
a fairly well balanced ration, which
can be fed to all classes Of live stock
In addition to the feeding value, the
mixture provides an early feed which
can replace corn in the feeding ra-
ton for hogs.
This better yielding power is due to
the difference in the root system OF
the two plants. Barley is shallow
feeder, it's roots being largely confined
to the first $40 inches of soil. Oats Is
a medium deep feeder, with roots
penetrating the soil to depth of -2k
feet. With a proper mixture OF these
two crops, the competition between
plants Is so controlled that each crop
has it's respective feeding area and
thus utilizes the available moisture
and plant food to the best advantage
For a mixed crop Of oats and barley
it is essential that the varieties used
mature at the same time. If too much
variation occurs, one crop is either
immature or overripe at harvest time
and consequently the yield is cut down
by chaffy grain or excessive shatter-
ing. Under Iowa conditions Kherson,
Iowa 1O3 or 1O5 oats and Oderbrucker
or Mandschuri barley are best adapted
for the mixture. ,
