HIGHLY PRODUCTIVE
SEED IS BEST KIND
Farmers Often Make Mistake of
Securing Grain Adapted to
Different Soils.

(By G. o. CRAMER, Indiana Experiment
StaCon.)
It has not been very long since
most farmers thought it necessary to
send outside Of the state to get what
they called a better strain of seed.
Often they bought worse than they
originally had, for it frequently came
from a different latitude and a DIFF
ferent soil. They therefore had either
low yield or else they possibly had
large yield, quite poor in quality.
The best kind of seed for a given
locality is that which is highly pro-
ductive and which requires the en-
tire growing season and no more to
mature. Seed too early or too late
for a given section means either small
returns for labor expended or consid-
cradle loss from damage to the crop
after harvesting.
Many farmers now see the impor-
lance of seed Improvement by selec-
ton, special breeding plots, and grad
ing. They now regard seed improve
ment of as much value as the selec-
ton of breeding animals. So we have
in this state at present good many
men who have improved strains OF
corn, oats, wheat, clover and timo-
thy and other seeds that are better
adapted to the sections in which they
are grown than those from any other
state.
Some states have cooperative pro-
ducing and distributing organizations
patterned after those of Sweden and
Canada, but Indiana has not up to
the present time undertaken anything

Task for the Jury.

A witness, jolly, plump old lady.
on trial in the supreme court at
Worcester, was asked at what time a
certain train Of cars passed her
house. She replied that she began
knitting at three o'clock and had knit
twice around the leg of stocking be-
fore they came along. The next ques-
ton, of course, was how long it would
take her to knit twice around. The
Judge here. in his usual quiet humor,
suggested that that would depend
upon the size of the stocking To this
the witness remarked that the stock
ing was for herself and they could ex-
ercise their own judgment as to the
size, and guess how long it would
take.

WHY "ANURIC'

Sufferers from Backache, Rheumatism and Kidney Trouble

take risk on your life the examining

port whether you are a good risk.

and pains of lumbago, rheumatism and
govt. The urine is often cloudy, full
Of sediment; channels often get sore
and sleep is disturbed two or three
times night. This is the time you
should consult some physician Of wide
experience-sucha as DR.. Pierce. of the
Invslids' Hotel and Surgical Institute,

Experience has taught DR.. Pierce that
''Auuric" is the most powerful agent
in dissolving uric acid, as hot water
melts sugar; besides being absolutely
harmless it is endowed with other
properties, for it preserves the kid
neys in healthy condition by thor
oughly cleansing them. Checks the de-
generation Of the blood-vessels, as well
as regulating blood pressure. "Anuric"
is a regular insurance and life-saver
for all big meat eaters and those who
deposit lime-salts in their joints. Ask
the druggist for "Anuric" put up by Dr.
Pierce, in 50-cent packages.

Value of Feeds Differ.

Feeds may have about the same
feeding value according to chemistry,
yet in actual farm feeding, the cow
may find difference, and give much
better results from one than she will
from another that possesses quite a

by chemistry.
