FOR BETTER SEEDING

1t would add practical interest as
well as additional value to the farm
ers' institute or club meeting if cit
liens would bring samples of farm
seeds. Oats and wheats can be ex-
amined for smuts, and demonstra-
tions given as to how the treating for
smut is done.
Clover and timothy and other small
seeds should be brought to be ex-
amined for purity. Demonstrations
can also be given to show how test
ing for termination is easily done.
Seed corn will be examined and plans
perfected for testing each ear, so sug-
gests Samuel M. Jordan of the State
Board of Agriculture.
1t would add interest to attach to
each sample as much as you can of
the following data:
l. Name of variety, if known
2. How long grown by farmer?
3. Average yield per acre.
a. Was the seed graded?
5. What crop grew on the ground
the year before and what one to fol-
low?
6. How was the seed bed prepar-
ed?
7. Was seed treated?
8. Was fertilizer used? If so,
what?
8. When was the seeding done?
10. Did grain lodge badly?
II. Did it make too much straw in
proportion to the grain?
IL. Do you stack your grain?
If samples with such data are tax
en- to a meeting, most profitable ex-
change of ideas can be brought out in
a general discussion by any or all who
may attend.
"By the clashing of ideas, we find
where truth exists" We may make
some discovery that will be highly
beneficial to all concerned, at the
farmers institute or club meeting.

THE MOTHERlNG OF
BERNICE PACE

Bernice Pace, a years of age, and
travelling without companions, arriv-
ed at the Union Station, st. Louis,
with a coupon ticket. small suit case
filed with lunch and doll.
A tag securely attached to her
clothing showed that Bernice was en-
route from Defiance, O., to a kind I'M
Gle and aunt in a remote New Mexico
town. The section Of the Ohio boun-
Diary line nearest TO New Mexico is
separted from the section of the New
Mexico boundary nearest to Ohio by
something like 800 miles, but Of
course, Bernice from an interior point
in one State to an interior point in
the other and over route far from
a bee line, will probably travel more
than 1900 miles. She will pass through
the territory of six States and change
cars at least three and probably more
times.
But her chances OF safe arrival at
her destination are even greater than
those of an adult passenger. Indeed,
the principal danger of her transit is
that too many sweet meats and other
things children like, will be bought
for her, that sh3 will be wearied by
too persistent attentions, that she will
finish her tiresorne journey with a

too exaggerated idea of her own i'm
portance. While she waited to be
transferred from one Wabash train to
another in this city, she commanded
all the resources of the Union Station.
Attaches of the matron's office petted
her and looked after her every need
and she was finally carried out asleep
to the new train.
And so it will be all along the line.
The small princess will leave one
great railroad system only to COM
NIT herself to the charge of another
whose employees are equally her de-
voted servants, ready to obey her ev-
cry wish. kilograms will come from
busy dispatchers enjoining Fidelity to
her welfare. Uniformed functionar-
les, when halts are made at bustling
stations, will look in to see how she
is getting along. Trainmen will place
no eight-hour limit on their efforts for
her comfort.
Such exceptional cases increase APP
probation for transportation efficien-
cy, which we are inclined to accept as
matter of course. The safety of
our railroads and their high organiza-
ton to meet the most unusual contin-
gencies could have no better form of
publicity than the mothering by great
railroad corporations of this lone
youngster half way across the CONT

HOG CHOLERA CONTROL

Hog cholera eradication work was
successfully carried on, during the
past year, covering fourteen different
counties. In one county, the State
Veterinarian, under the Missouri State
Board of Agriculture, carried on the
work alone.
In thirteen other counties the State
Veterinarian operated with the agents
of the Federal Bureau of Animal In
dustry. All together over two hun
dred outbreaks, scattered well over
these fourteen counties, were report
ed and placed under control.
There was included some open range
country, some prairie counties, and
three that might be classed as strict
ly corn and hog raising counties. They
fairly represent the entire State as
to the prevalence of hog cholera and
the difficulties attending its control.
Personal investigation by the State
Veterinarian, and reports coming to
his office, indicate outbreaks, greater
or less in extent, in all sections of the
State. There are few counties, if any,
in the State which entirely escaped
an outbreak during the past year.
Under the plans pursued in the
fourteen counties, the district school
board formed a nucleus of the organi-
zation in each school district for de-
tecting and promptly reporting out
breaks of hog diseases. The district
clerk acts as the official correspond
ent. This provides a permanent or
ganization without expense to the
State.
A nearby deputy State veterinarian
promptly answers any call to invest
igate any outbreaks of hog diseases
He draws no pay, except when on du-
ty. When his work is done, his ex-
penses stop.
The work done in the fourteen coun-
ties during the past year shows, be-
yond a doubt, that hog cholera can
be controlled and at very small ex-
pense. There is every reason to be-
lieve that the work can be made state
wide and carried out in every county
in the State at total cost of less
than one-half of the amount often lost
as result Of hog cholera in sim
gle county in a single year.
Outlines of the plans of this work
will be furnished on request by DR..

umbia, Mo.

Danger SignaT.

If the fire bell should ring would
you run and stop it or go and help to
put out the fire? 1t is much the same
way with cough. A cough is dan
ger signal as much as a fire bell. You
should no more try to suppress it than
to stop the fire bell when it is ringing,
but should cure the disease that caus-
es the coughing. This can nearly al
ways be done by taking Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. Many have used it
with the most beneficial results. 1t is
especially valuable for the persistent
cough that so often follows a bad
cold or an attack of the grip. Mrs.
Thomas Beeching, Andrews, Ind,
writes: During the winter my hus-
band takes cold easily and coughs and
coughs. Chamberlain's Cough Rem
edy is the best medicine for breaking
up these attacks and you cannot get
him to take any other" Obtainable
