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, oats, barley, and fax can be
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
tanned 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 terminate more evenly, pro-
duce stronger plants, and 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 to
keep weeds in check, but the value

Their EGGS MIGHT Help.

0striches in summer Will live al
most entirely or green alfalfa, and in
winter consume each about a pound of
grain and three pounds of alfalfa hay
a day. It would seem therefore that
the sale of eggs might go a long way
toward paying for the upkeep of the
nocks. -Ostriches thrive in the dry
and sandy southwest, and upon alfalfa,
which is very easily raised in that re-
gion wherever irrigation is possible.
The average yearly yield of feathers
from IN ostrich is u little over a
pound and their value in 1910 was
$50 to $50.

The struggle Of life among the birds
and other wild creatures is so severe
that the feeble and ma1formed, OF the
handicapped In any way, quickly drop
out, writes John Burroughs in Har-
pers Magazine Probably none of them
ever die from old age. They are cut
on IN their prime. A wedding out proc
ess goes on from the time they leave
the nest A full measure Of life, the
nerfection of every quill and feather,
and Tdnerring instinct, carry them
along. They are always In the en-
emy's country: they are always onithe
hiring line: eternal vigilance and cease

them. The natural length OF life OF

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. If
one lot contains 96 per cent of seed
that will grow and another lot con
tains "a per cent of seed that will grow
it will take three bushels Of the 81 per
cent seed to sow the same number of
acres that two bushels Of the 90 per
cent will SOW.
This is important from the stand
point of cost alone when red clover
seed is selling for $50 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, SO that
enough live seed will be sowed to in
sure a stand in the field. First know
how much of the seed may grow and
then sow accordingly. =.
