PROPER SHELTER AND PAINT
Many Niokels Can Be Saved by Over hauling and Painting Machinery
 on Rainy Winter Days.

(By J. k. KICKS. Mississippi Station)
 "A nickel saved is nickel made ' Many nickels. and dollars, too, can be saved in shop bills and the cost of new farm machinery by hauling in all blows, harrows. hay rakes and other imple- ments and storing them under shelter. Still more nickels can be saved if the odd times and rainy days during the winter are used to overhaul and re paint these machines.
 The present cost of machinery makes it more than ever necessary that every tool be made to do it's maximum amount of service. Thousands of dol lars that go out each spring for farm machinery can be kept at home if farmers will build implement sheds in stead of making use of convenient trees or leaving their tools to warp crack and rust out in the open field Paint, too. is a wonderful preserver of wood. and on the metal parts it pre- vents the formation of coat of rust which not only looks bad, but eats away practically as much of the metal as is worn off by a season of hard. use. Grease or oil will preserve the mold boards and other bright-wearing parts where paint cannot be used.

TESTING FOR TERMINATION AND PURITY

| checkerboard lacing of twfne across the top. These squares should be about IF inches on each side. The tray should be flied level full of loose sand and in each square are planted the seeds to be tested from an indi- vidual ear. The sand should be well moistened when the seeds are first put in the tester, and the tester kept in a warm room. Sprinkle on enough water from day to day to keep the sand moist, and after six or seven days examine the sprouting seeds, and save for planting only those ears from which all the kernels gave strong sprouts.
 Best Stand as Result.
 If seed corn is taken care of in this way, and every ear tested for ger imitation. the result will be the best stand It is possible to obtain under weathey and soil conditions at the time of planting. Before testing germina- tion. the farmer should examine each ear and throw out all the ears which do not look right or which have sev- eral withered or damaged kernels. He should strive to make up his seed from ears which in size and appearance seem to be normal for his variety of corn. Seed corn should be shelled by hand to avoid the risk of damage by mechanical smelling. Before smelling, the owner should pick out peculiar

C0TT0NY MAPLE SCALE PEST
Where Trees Are Evidently Suffering From Attack of Insects Protee-
 tion Is Necessary

Among other trees and woody plants often more or less injured by the cottony maple scale. are the elm. honey locust, black locust, black wal nut, sumac, willow, poplar. beech. hawthorn, bittersweet, grapevine. and Virginia ereeper. Injury to oaks is reported from Georgia and other south ern states. Honeysuckle, dogwood, mulberry, snowberry, smoketree, syrin- ga and others are sometimes injured,
 Something over 5000 eggs are usu- ally laid by each female, records of 3,40o being known
 It is usually difficult to say whether trees infested by this pest should re- ceive special treatment, or whether they may be left to the natural course of events. This scale is extremely subject to parasites and attacks of other insect enemies, particularly the ladybugs and their larvae Neverthe- less, where trees are evidently suffer- ing from the scale attack it is always prudent, and often necessary. to take artlhelal means of protection.

(By c. VROOMAN.1

It is easy to test seed Of all kinds, both for germination and for purity For the germination test you need only box that you can make in an hour. For the purity test you need only q 50-cent microscope that will enable you to count the weed seeds in given number of clover or alfalfa seeds.
 One ear of seed corn will produce about five bushels-if all the grains grow-and corn is 60 cents hushel. That dead ear is a dead loss of s. If you catch but one bad ear Tn testing, you save good days wages-if you find the average number of bad ones, you can save weeks wages in an afternoon. Still there are farmers who think testing seed is just foolish sci entific fril.
 Testing takes only odd hours and it may make the difference between big crop and crop that does not pay for the labor of cultivation. When you have tested your seed. you know that your crop will grow if conditions are right-that if you have to replant or reseed It will not be your fault Test Before Planting.
 Just before planting time, germina- ton tests should be made of each ear.

cream soups are the best, as they con tain more nourishment and are espe- cially good for aged people or small children.

fade, pinch them off your flowers will keep in bloom much longer and the blooms will be larger if you pay attention to this little detail. Pansies and sweet peas particularly require looking after
 Use your flowers in borders and around the sides of your lawn. Never lawn. A bit of green turf. well-cared for, is an asset to any home grounds.
 If you want soft, thick turf on your lawn. now it often and let the clippings lie where they fall. This keeps the soil from drying out too much and helps fertilize 1t as 1t de- cays.
 Support sweet peas on hedge of brush. This is better than poultry netting. as the sun does not heat it and burn the tender tendrils of the cling ing sweet pea.
 Plant your shade trees far enough away from the house to allow the air to circulate around the house Sun shine i'll the home is Il tonic and care should be exercised when planting that trees do not interfere or shade the windows too much.
 Do not plant your flowers too close together. Give them all chance for life. Pansies should be planted ten inches apart petunias and yerbenas at least eighteen inches apart; mari golds, two feet; poppies. ten inches zinnias, eighteen inches and phlox foot. Flowers will not be plentiful or thrifty if grown too close together.
 Nothing is better for winter bloom CTS, or for hanging basket plants than the Grand Duchess OXalis. Put the lit tie bulbs in light soil, keep in a tenn perature of about 60 degrees and keep the soil moist until the leaves appear, and gradually increase the water as required.

One Of the most striking sections of the recent exhi- bitions has been one devoted to show ing his foliage plants. They are mar velously developed and show expert handling.

NEED OF OFFICE EQUIPMENT
Average Farmer Should Have Suitable Place for Filing Away Letters,
 Catalogues, Etc.

The average farmer needs a cer- tain amount of office equipment, but this need not necessarily be expensive nor elaborate. Among the conveniences needed by the business farmer is a roll top desk in which unfinished work may be left and the desk closed With the old-fashioned hinged-lid desk all work had to be cleared away before the desk could be closed
 The drawers of such a desk should be utilized for filing away farm let ters, catalogues. etc. Some desks are even provided with a small iron fire proof safe in one side of the lower compartments for the safety of valu- able papers which sometimes must be kept temporarily on the farm.
