Shell Seed Corn by Hand

Seed corn should always be Shelled
by hand, says the United States De-
partment of Agriculture, which ad-
vises care in every step connected
with seed selection.
After seed corn has been selected
from the most productive stalks as
they stand in the field in competition
with other surrounding stalks, and
stored in a dry place free from in
sects and rodents, the job is only
half done. Smelling is one of the
most important of the task.
Seed ears should first be nubbled
and the kernels from tip and butt
should be discarded from the seed
supply. The small kernels from the
are just as productive as any of the
other kernels on the ear; the blunt
| thick, rounded kernels from the butts
are just as product as any of the
rest, but because of their shape and
size they do not plant uniformly
when used in a corn planter with
other kernels.
Smelling by hand takes more time
and labor but is profitable. The me-
chanical corn shelter is likely to in
jure the germ tips of the individual
grains, and to thus destroy or i'm
pair their power to terminate. No
matter how large the required sup
ply, says the department, it will still
! pay to shell it painstakingly by man
ual labor because the greater the
acreage to be planted the greater the
ultimate profit.
Each ear should be shelled separ-
ately into shallow pan or box, and
every bIemished, misshapen, or worm
eaten kernel should be rejected. AS

Tank Heater Means Profit

It is impossible for one to estimate
the value of a tank heater in dollars
and cents, says writer in the Farm,
Stock and Home in its Dec. issue.
Those who use them think they are
indispensable in the winter time The
man who uses one for the first whit
er wonders how he ever did without
it, and thinks himself foolish for not
purchasing one long before he did.
Only those who use them can know
their value.
Of course, there will be no cash re-
turns from the tank heater. But there
are a great many implements used on
the farm that bring no cash returns.
The farmers get returns by an indi-
rect method. All these things work
ing together bring in the returns at
the end of the year whether it be in
money for the stock or cash from the
farm products. So the beneficial re-
for the farmer.
The tank heater prevents the
freezing of the ice in the tank. This
means that the tank will be kept
in perfect condition during the whit
er. Ice freezing thick in the tank
will often burst it or bulge it so that
it will leak. This means time and
money for repairs. Probably a new
tank will have to be purchased. The
money expended for it would have
bought two or three tank heaters.
Again, stock hate to drink ice cold
water. The chilling water produces
a bad effect Lots of the feed must

in II years, produced 10 colts, 9 of
which were raised. These colts in
creased this mans bank account to
the extent of $4,000. The highest
price received was $3.50 for a 4
year-old mare, and the lowest 1925
for an 11-mOnth-old colt. Included
in the total given are $500 which
this man estimates as the value of a
weaving f1lly which he is keeping.
In a northern State a good pure
bred stallion and grade were stand
ing in the same community, the
owner of the purebred charging a
fee of SIS, while the grade stallion
stood at a fee of $40. A wise farm
er bred his mares to the higher
priced purebred, while a neighbor,
feeling that the cheapest was the
best, patronized the grade. This is
what happened: Two f1llies sired by
the purebred stallion could have been
sold at $3.50, but the owner would
not let them go at that price, claim
ing they were worth more. The 9th
er farmer sold two mares by the
grade stallion for 5000. One strik-
ing thing about this instance is that
the mares owned by both of these
farmers were of practically the same
type and breeding.
Morris tribune., 1917-12-21

be consumed in warming up that
chilled body. When the tank heater
is used, the farm animals drink their
fill and do not go back to the barn
to SILVER and consume a lot of feed
keeping their bodies comfortable.
The health of the stock is governed
largely by the amount of water which
is taken into the system every day.
So it it necessary that stock which is
being fattened for market have tenn
pered water so they will drink their
fill. They will fatten faster.
Lastly, the milk COW that is given
water of the right temperature will
give more milk than the cow that
drinks the ice cold water. 1 have
seen many a milk cow drink about
half of what she needed and go shiv-
ering back to shelter. No wonder
she cut down the quantity of her
milk in the cold weather. When she
can get the warmed water, she will
stand and drink until her thirst is
perfectly satisfied. Then she will
manufacture milk for the farmer
from the feed instead of heat for her
body that was chilled by the ice wat
er. So the producing stock will pro-
duce more and of better quality and
the growing stock will grow the fast
er. The fuel to run the heater will
cost but a nominal sum and is a
small item to consider.

EXPERIENCE SHOWS
PUREBRED SIRES PAY
Instances Illustrating the Benefits
and Profits Resulting from Their
Use

If there is any place where theory
and practice ''link together" it is in
the value of the purebred sire in live
stock improvement. Theory says
"blood will tell" and practice proves
it.
There is abundant testimony to
show that a grade or mongrel sire
will "back-fire" and the offspring
prove a degraded or nondescript ami
NAL. On the othen hand, evidence is
not lacking that the offspring result
ing from the service of the sound
purebred sire will not only be a
valuable addition to any stud, herd
or flock and a credit to the judge
ment and intelligence of the breeder
but will bring a higher price on the
market.
Many concrete instances can be
given illustrating the benefits and
profits resulting from the use of
purebred sires. Two or three cases
from widely separated districts will
show the greater advantages result
ing from wise and careful selection.
BRED SCRUB MARES TO PURE
BRED STATIONS
There is the case of a man out west
who began farming with a small
number of scrub mares which he al.
ways bred to purebred stations. The
mares averaged about 1900 pounds,
and at prices prevailing today would
barely bring $125 apiece. Some of
the first colts sold at maturity at
prices as high as SITS, while FLIES
that we're retained and in turn later
bred to purebred draft stations pro-
duced male and female colts, none of
which sold for less than $3.50. Three
mares sold at $685. each, and $3.50
was offered for one team. When it
is remembered that this man started
with scrub mares, it readily can be
seen what the next crop of colts from
purebred stations will bring In
other words, this man is grading up
by using good sires. His profits would
have been still larger had he started
with grade mares instead of scrubs.
The results, however, show the value
of the purebred male and his influ-
ence for improved live stock.
PROFITS FROM PUREBRED MARE
Another instance is that of an
Ohio farmer who several years ago
purchased a purebred mare of one of
the popular draft breeds, which has,

A Demand For Baled Straw

There is demand for good oat or
rye straw in the northern part of the
state, which was badly stricken by
drouth last season. A scarcity of
hay and roughage for cattle has re-
suited. The Office of the Public Safe
ty Commission, has been appealed to
by many farmers who dislike to sa-
crifice their cattle for the lack Of
hay. Farmers in sections of the state
where straw is plentiful will find a
ready sale for baled straw and the
Public Safety Commission will be
able to secure a market for it at
reasonable prices for anyone who de-
sires to do his "bit" along conserva-
ton lines by baling surplus straw
and thus making it possible for farm
ers less fortunately situated to pro-
vide for their cattle through the
winter.
Baled straw will bring a good
price in view of the almost prohibit
tive prices of hay in many sections
of the state.
