FIGURES ON SEED CORN COST
II 81 Was Paid Per Acre It Would Buy
the Very Best Kind That Can
Be Obtained Anywhere.

Five dollars is a good big price for
seed corn, SO big that the most Of us
will not pay 1t. But come to figure it
down to acres 1t does O sound so
large. Counting one bushel will plant
seven acres, the cost is only Y cents.
Seed oats cost at least so cents q
bushel any season after they have
been cleaned. Counting two and one
half bushels per acre, it costs $1.25 to
seed n acre. There is no possible
way of getting out of oats seeding for
less than 81 per acre, even If bin oats
are seeded without cleaning. If 81
was paid out for seed corn per acre, it
would buy the very best kind that can
be obtained.

1917, the number of cnrs Of stock that
passed through the Winnipeg yards

TO GET RID OF DRONES

Care Must Be Exercised That Queen

ing Bees Are Permitted
to Pass Freely.

To get rid Of drones, which may be-
come too numerous, a guard OF a drone
trap Is put over the hive entrance.
Perforated zinc is the usual material
used, the perforations being large
enough to permit worker bees to pass
through, but too small for drones.
Sometimes the frames are shaken in
front Of the hives so all the drones
can be kept outside. Care must
be exercised to see that the queen Is
not also excluded or killed. For safety
she should first be found and confined

REGULAR FEEDING FOR CALF
ticabIe and Continue Il for at
Least Six Months.

All calves should be fed regularly !;
very young calves should be fed three
times n day.
At first, the calf Is fed whole milk,
the quantity being gradually in
creased. Skim milk Is substituted as
soon as practicable, and is Continued
until the calf Is six months old.
Ordinarily. the maximum quantity
Of skim milk that can be fed economi-
cally is 20 pounds q day.
When the calf Is two weeks old,
grain and fresh, clean hay should be
increased as the appetites Of the
calves demand.

MORE WHEAT SEED REQUIRED
Tendency Among Farmers to Sow Too
Little Rather Than Too Much,
Says Ohio Station.

The quantity of seed wheat to sow
to the acre should be varied according
to size of kernel, condition and fer
tility. From six to eight pecks per
acre gave the best results in expert
ments totaIing 33 years at the Ohio,
Kentucky, Indiana, Illinois, Kansas
and Oklahoma experiment stations.
The tendency among most growers is
to use too little rather than too much
seed.
