section where the growing season Is
long may not necessarily be at all
suited to regions where the season
is short. In buying seed corn, there
fore, IL is of the utmost Importance
to ascertain where the corn was
grown.
As Il may not always be possible
to purchase seed corn from Just the
right section. IL is by far the best
agricultural practice for the farmer
to select his own. Moreover, 1t hap
pens not infrequeutly that conditions
are such in one year that they inter
fere seriously with the production OF
good seed corn. For this reason II Is
the part of prudence for the farmer
to save a supply of seed corn that
will not only be sufficient for his
planting the next spring, but will
carry him through another year If
the need arises.

Platinum In 1916.

Preliminary estimates based on
the United States Geological Survey,
Department of the Interior, by do
nestle refners OF platinum indicate
that in 1915 approximately ass
ounces OF domestic crude platinum
(about "a per cent metaD were re-
fined. producing 172 ounces platinum

of iridosmine. and that l0,l1S

were refined.
The platinum metals produced by
refining crude placer platinum, of
both foreign and domestic origin,
amounted to S,943 ounces platinum,
235 ounces iridium. 1913 ounces iri-
dosmine, and IS ounces palladium.
Rehners of copper matte and gold
bullion report production from fore

ounces palladium. About hair of this

Capital Needed.

II is well to sound a note of warn
ing that IL is not possible to start
poultry farming without capital or
experience and to make living from
the start. In fact, fair amount of
capital is required TO start poultry
farming and to work up to point
of making living in two years. II
is true that many start in small
way, sticking 10 their business or
employment while the stock is in
creasing, necessarily taking a much
longer time to arrive at the point OF
making a living from the venture.
Some of the most successful farms
claim to have started in this way. II
should be understood. however. that
the same profits are not possible un-
der poultry farming conditions. as for
small numbers such as are usually
run for home requirements. Poultry
farming is a sound proposition as n
means of making living. hut the
person who starts without capital or
experience would have much the
same problems as would he the case
with any other undertaking started
in the same way.-Farm and Family

Milk Flow Decreased by Change "a
pasfure.

The practical dairyman has learn
ed that any radical change in the
winter feed of his cows should be
made gradually IL the milk flow Is
not to suffer. He is most likely to
overlook the effects of turning his
cows out to the fresh spring pastures.
Experiments have shown that a
sudden change to pasture in the
spring is likely to cause the cow TO
be underfed for several days. There
fresh pastures are succulent, their
water content is very high, and the
cows are not accustomed to depend
on their own activity for the food
necessary for their milk. One of the
results of this undertaking, which Is
particularly likely to occur with
heavy or moderately heavy producers
will be a drop in the milk flow. 1t
is difficult to raise this flow after 1t
has once dropped. especially if it
has been some time since the animals
have freshened.
This undertaking will also affect
the composition OF the butter fat.
1t is important that all changes of
feed or dairy cows. including the
change to fresh pasture, should be
made gradually, and good milk pro-
ducing animals should be fed some
grain in addition to the pasture. This
will prevent the possibility of under
feeding. The grain feeding should
be continued at least until the past
ures become mature and the cows
become accustomed to Craze for their
food.

The subsection of seed corn TO ger
mination tests is form of insurance
which it is mere recklessness to neg
lect. say specialists in the United
States Department of Agriculture.
Weak seed make weak stalks and
poor corn crops. and to plant it is to
throw away labor and land. II is the
weak seed rather than the dead seed
that causes loss. Most farmers
plant a superabundance of seed, and
consequently their cornfields contain
a superabundance of plants which
are reproductive because seed was
weak.
The process OF obtaining good seed
corn really should begin in the fall
with the selection of the best ears
from the field. If these are properly
cared for through winter, the farmer
should have a satisfactory supply
for planting in the spring. Whether
or not this has been done, however,
it will pay him to test his seed corn
ear by ear.
A simple method of testing single
ears is TO select two kernels from the
opposite sides of the ear on the top,
two from the middle, and two from
the butt. These are put in numbered
squares or portions OF terminating
boxes, or other testers. If the kerr
nels are kept moist in a room where
the tempature is not above 80 F. nor
below so F., the seeds should begin
10 sprout after a lapse of from six
TO seven days. If any Of the kernels
fail to give strong sprouts, the ear
should be rejected for planting. If
after testing a large number of typl-
cal ears the farmer finds that the
results OF the tests show a germina-
tion as high as 81 per cent of COM
plete, he may he justified In consid
cring that his seed supply is salts
factory and in emitting any further
tests. Where there is any doubt
however, about the matter, II is much
safer TO test each ear the kernels OF
which it is proposed to plant.
If, as a result OF these tests, the
farmer finds that the corn ha.
intended to plant Is unsatisfactory
he should take steps Immediately Il
provide himself with supply Of
good seed. This can be obtained n
the majority of cases from the i'm
mediate neighborhood. 1t is grea
mistake for farmer to obtain hi
seed from some section where con
ditions may be quite different from
those under which he must grow hi
crop. For example, n farmer il
Minnesota or North Dakota who goe
10 Iowa for his seed corn runs a grea
risk of having his crop fail to ma
ture. Varieties which do well in

The farmers of the United States
/ lose each year large sums because
of improper methods of producing
and handling eggs. One-third at
least of this loss is easily prevent
able. 1t is due to the partial hatch
ing of fertile eggs.
The eggs laid by hen may be
either fertile or infertile. depending
on whether or not the male bird has
been allowed to run with the female.
A fertile egg is one in which the
germ has been fortified by the male
bird. Except for this process of fer
tilization, the male bird has no in
fuence upon the eggs which the
hens lay. Egg production is equally
great in fiocks from which roosters
are excluded.
A fertile egg does not keep as well
as an infertile one, because the fer
tilted germ responds more readily
fortified one. 1t is impossible to
match an infertile egg or to cause a
blood ring to form in one. Such
eggs are much more likely to reach
the table in good condition and there
is much less spoilage in shipments
composed entirely of them than in
mixed shipments of fertile and in
fertile eggs.
After the Matching season. there
fore, the male birds should be cook
ed sold, or confined. In approximate
ly IA days after this all the eggs laid
by the hens will be infertile. These
can be marketed much more success
fully under the adverse conditions
that frequently prevail in the hot
summer months.
Heat is the great enemy OF eggs,
both fertile and infertile. Farmers
are urged to follow these simple
rules, which cost nothing but time
and thought and will add dollars to
the poultry yard returns:
/. Keep the nests clean; provide
one nest for every four hens.
2. Gather the eggs twice daily.
8. Keep the eggs in cool, dry
room or cellar.
4. Market the eggs at least twice
week.
8. Sell, kill, or confn all male
birds as soon as the Matching season
is over.

Solid as the turnip roots appear

per cent of water, or q trifie more
than is found in whole milk. The
flavor of the turnip, like that of its
relatives, the cabbage and the radish,
is due principally to compounds OF
sulphur. which are so volatile that
when turnips are fed to cows these
compounds pass into the milk and
give it an unmistakable flavor.

MRS. A. M. RIDDICK'S MILLINERY
OPENING.

The radiance Of the brilliant sunshine
this morning, following the rainy
gloomy days Of the past week, had the
effect Of putting new life into all peo-
pie, and the desire of all to revel in the
suns rays, therefore the streets this
morning were more populated and the
ladies made up a fair proportion of the
pedestrians.
This day, September 18, is the first
day Of fall, so says the calendar, also
the old English mode of counting sea-
sons, and even our enemies, the central
| powers, put back the clock one hour
this morning in order to conserve the
daylight, but here the day was more
propitious than many summer day
this year, it was certainly more agree
( able
Then too the millinery opening added
it's attractive force, for who can with
stand the drawing power of woman IS
beauty enhancer, the effective fall
headgear with all it's warmth and color,
and none know better than Mrs. Rid
dick, and her corps of efficient miIliners
how to place, twist and bend these
chic creation so that the best effect is
produced.
Looking at that military chapeau on
the stand, or with it in the hand, gives
rot the slightest idea of the actual
smartness Of the turban, but put this
off a. - n
those pretty girls, who will pull it this
way, and tilt it that, and you have an
effect that the greatest epicure will bow
before
Taking the millinery display general
ly we would say that there is greater
variety, both in color and style, than
ever before, and the most popular thing
is that nearly all, simple though they
may seem in the hand are extremely at
'tractive on the head. This is season
where the hat will set off the wearer,
and not require the wearer to empha-
size the stylishness Of the hat.
Colors are bountiful, and beautifully
com bined. Whoever heard of a combi-

colored gray and purple in combina-

really fetching, though you must see it
to be convinced.
All kinds of combinat ton you will
see. Many Of them at first sight ap-
pear wrong, but when seen on the head
you change your opinion and feel that
an artists hand has woven the mingled
shades, and that they are in reality
good combinations.
In addition to the millinery Mrs. Rid
dick is showing a generous assortment
of pretty waists, colored and black un-
