CLEAN SEED BEFORE SOWING.

Cleaning and grading the small
grains for spring sowing should be
done before the spring rush in pre-
pairing the land and sowing the seed.
Wheat. cats, barley, and flax can he
improved for seeding by running the
seed through the tanning mill at least
once. The cleaned grain will run
through the drill or other seeding ma
chinery more evenly and thus insure
a more uniform stand than can be OBJ
tained from uncleaned grain.
Cleaning grain removes most Of the
weak and diseased kernels, many of
which may not grow at all, or if they
do grow are likely to produce small,
weak plants. Uniformly large, plump
kernels germinate more evenly, pro
duce stronger plants. aad yield more
than ungraded grain containing small,
shrunken kernels.
Thorough cleaning also removes a
large part Of the weed seeds the grain
contains. The preparation Of the land
for seeding destroys many seeds that
are in the ground and thus helps tc
keep weeds in check, but the value
of this work is largely lost if Ioul seed
is sOWn.

and much of the seed is of poorer quail
ity than in normal years. Therefore,
every farmer before sowing should
know what proportion of the seed he
buys cannot be expected to grow. Ii
one lot contains 96 per cent of seed
that will grow and another lot CON
tans 81 per cent of seed that will grow
it will take three bushels of the "a. per
cent seed to SOW the same number OF
acres that two bushels Of the 9G per
cent Will SOW.
This is important from the stand
point of cost alone when red clover
seed is selling for so or more per
bushel. 1t is much more necessary,
however, to know the quality of seed
in order that the rate of seeding may
be proportional to the quality, 50 that
enough live seed viii be sowed to in
sure stand in the field. First know
how much of the seed may grow and
then SOW accordingly.

oak First for Tables.

Oak was the wood first used in
tables then walnut came into general
use in the middle of the seventeenth
century. An early form Of table was
the chair table, convenient because it
served the purpose. of a seat when the
top was lifted and stood against the
side of the room. But gradually the
table took its present form and use.
1t became the custom to leave the
board upon the trestle instead of re-
moving both, and in time the piece of
furniture was called the table.
