Chric.ian subjects during the reign OF
the Roman Emperor, Nero, was insig-

Armenians by. the Turks and the afro.
cities being perpetrated in Macedonia

Hollingshead. d. D.. of Philadelphia,
delivered stirring address before the
Richmond district conference of the
North M. r.. Conference last night in
the Grace NJ. Il. church.
The distinguished apportionment

conditions in civilization offering the
greatest need and greatest opportuni-
ties fcr service that ever confronted
the Christian church. He asserted his
belief that the church was able TIC
quickly and effectively solve the prob

NEW RYE SEED MAY RAISE ACRE
YIELD

There are two main reasons why the
yields Of rye in Minnesota are not lar
ger. First, the seed used is poor; Sec
ond, nearly all rye is disastrously af-
flicted with ergot, a disease common
to all cereals and to many grasses. The
rye crop is generally considered a poor
mans crop and a portland crop, so
that it is not given any attention and
seldom gets chance to show what it
is really worth
The remedy for the low yield lies in
the use of seed Of an improved variety
and the elimination Of the greater part
of the ergot. Minnesota No. 2 rye is a
pure-line selection made at the Mime
sofa Agricultural Experiment station.
It possesses high yielding qualities, the
ten-year average being 1913 bushels.
Seed Of this variety of rye is available
in small qualities for those who wish
to get started with the best seed for
Minnesota conditions.
Getting rid of ergot is not such an
easy proposition, because rye-growing
soils are infested with the germs of the
disease Furthermore, the disease is
transmitted more or less from the COM
mon grasses to rye and from rye to
the grasses. Fields in which 80 per
cent of the crop was infested with err
got have been found. 1t is dangerous
to feed stock ergoty rye.
You can get rid of it. Why not do
so then? Write to c. P. Bull, Univer-
sity farm, St. Paul. He will tell you
about seed plot methods of seed con-
troll and of Improvement methods.

s1Lo HELPS TO SAVE CORN CRoI


Most farmers feel more or less an
xiety about their corn crop at this time
Of the year, but those who are the least
concerned are those on whose farms
stand silos. The silo makes it possible
to save a corn crop that, owing to
immaturity or early frosts, might be
almost wholly wasted.
The farmer, therefore, who has been
thinking of building silo should get
into action, and the man who has not
been thinking of the silo should think
and act promptly. Because many farm
ers. are thinking "silo'' these days the
following points as to good silos are
worth Keeping in mind
The walls must be alright.
The walls must be smooth inside.
The best type of silo is round.
The roof should be waterproof.
The substances should be substantial
enough to stand great pressure.
The cost should be from So to IS for
each ton of capacity if the total ca
pacity is to exceed 100 tons.
The silo should be placed as near as
possible to the place where silage is to
be fed and should be on the least ex-
posed side of the barn.
One hundred tons OF silage will feed
twenty-five head of stock for 200 days.
A silo IA feet in diameter and 35 feet
high will hold 100 tons of silage.
Any kind Of a good silo is valuable
piece of property on the farm where
livestock is o be fed.

PICK OUT SEED SHOCKS IN FIELD

PICK OUT SEED SHOCKS IN FIELD
The very best time to get good seed
is when it is in the making. Good seed
is like good live stock-best when it
comes of good ancestry and is produc-
ed under favorable conditions. So it is
that some parts Of the fields are better
than others for the production Of ma
ture, we'll filled, sound seed; while
other parts will produce less valuable
product. Looking over the various
parts Of the field before cutting, one
may select the parts of the crop to be
handled separately for the next year g
seed supply. No extra work or "fuss'
ing' will be necessary before cutting.
The field may be cut as whole and
shocked, but extra care is necessary
in setting up shocks in the "seed' -
part Of the field. A twelve-bundle
shock with two cap sheaves will with
stand unfavorable weather and pro-
tect the grain.
AS soon as the grain; is field-dry it
should be stacked or threshed. The
seed grain should be put in separate
stack and the cap sheaves should not
be allowed in with the other parts Of
the shocks. They may 90 in with feed
or sale grain. When threshed the seed
grain should be stored separate from
other grain, thus keeping it unmixed.
When thus kept separate from field to
bin it will be ready at any time for
the last analysis-the tanning mill
before sowing.
1t is not an easy matter always to
judge the increased profit that comes
from saving seed grain in this manner.
Climate, soil, and diseases have much
to do with the apparent physical con-
dition Of the crop, but in the long run,
such saving Of seed will give much
stamina to the variety and increase it's
yielding capacity.-C. P. Bull, Univer-
sity Farm, st. Paul.

PARCEL POST MAY AID FARM
MARKET

How to enable the farmer to get a
little more for his product, at the same
time supplying it to the consumer TO-
little less than he now pays, is
problem that the postoffce department
is investigating. The investigation is
provided for in the appropriation bill
which calls for three or more separate
demonstrations Of the efficiency of the
parcel post system in distributing farm
products among consumers.
The movement for the use of the
parcel post in distributing farm pro-
ducts was. started by the Southern Com
mercial congress. There are nine par
cells that go from the country to the
city.
The National Association Of Com
missioners Of Agriculture believes that
the government machinery can be
used profitably in selling farm products
directly from the farm to the consum
er, just as it is used now to distribute
supplies from mail order houses to
farms.

ORCHARD AND GARDEN NOTES

Budding OF apple, plum and ornamen-
tai trees may be done now.
Early dahlias are sometimes used in
window boxes. Their. Towering there
is rather uncertain. e
Seedlings Of perennials such as co.
lumbine, delphinium, etc., may be
transplanted to seed boxes and put in
cold frames over winter.
One Of the most attractive perennials
at University Farm in the latter part
Of July was the delphinium or lark
spur. This comes in all shades of blue,
from light to very dark.
Gladioi will soon be in bloom. Give
plenty of water when the buds show
well. To keep the flowers it is best to
cut them when the lower flower is just
opening. Remove the faded flowers
and cut off an inch or two inches of
stem each day.-LeRoy Cady, associate

WELLFED BABIES RESIST PARAI-
WS12 .-L

YSIS
Infantile paralysis is less frequent
among babies fed upon the mothers,
milk than among babies fed artificial
mixtures. This is shown by statistics
compiled by Minnesota Public Health
association. The reason for this, SAYS
DR.. I. J. Murphy, executive secretary
Of the association, is that breast-fed
babies have a greater resistance to dis
ease, being therefore less subject to
infantile paralysis germs as we'll as
to all other infectious diseases.
While infantile paralysis may attack
adults, most cases are found among
children from l to 10 years old. Flies
may carry the infectious material of
this disease, as we'll as of many other
diseases to which children are suscep-
tible.
If infantile paralysis, or any other
severe illness is suspected, DR.. Muir
ply says, the child should be given the
benefit Of the doubt, and a physician
should be called as soon as possible
Proper treatment in the early stages
may not only prevent fatality, but it
is absolutely necessary to prevent per-
manent paralysis.
If the physician is not sure of the
diagnosis, suspected cases should be
handled as prescribed by the State
Board of Health regulations, which
provide that all other children, visit
ors, pets, insects, etc., be excluded, and
that the discharges from the nose,
throat and mouth be received in cloths
and burned. All other discharges must
be properly disinfected and the access
