they sell:

2. Kind of seed.
3. Proportion of pure live seed
present, with month and year Of

4. Country or locality Of or.
igin In the case of the following
imported seeds: Beans, soy
beans, Turkestan alfalfa, and
red clover from southern Eu-

ness In accordance with these
suggestions.

every farmer before sowing should
know what proportion Of the seed he
buys cannot be expected to grow. II
one lot contains 98 per cent Of seed
that will grow and another lot con-
tains Ga per cent of seed that will grow
1t will take three bushels Of the "a per

acres that two bushels of the SO per
cent will sow.
This is important from the stand.
point of cost alone when red clover
seed Is selling for $40 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 stand in the field. First know
how much of the seed may grow and
then sow accordingly.

SCREENING SEED MAY PRE-.
VENT NEW DISEASE.

Screening out the shriveled
grains from wheat seed before
planting will remove one cause
Of spreading the new bacterial
disease Of wheat which has been
discovered In many states Of the
middle West. This has been
learned by specialists Of the
United States Department of Ag-
riculture who. In cooperation
with the experiment stations Of
Kansas and Wisconsin, are
studying the problem Of control
ling this disease. Wheat ker-
nels that are plump do not con-
tain bacterial cavities. but shriv-
eled ones often do.

The first of this week was a most sad and sorrowful time to many fathers and mothers in this country. They parted with their baby-boys, perhaps, for the last time. They mournfully watched and helped them pack their trunks, preparatory to leav- ing for the training schools, to get ready for overseas war-duty. Some of these may be permitted to visit their homes before cross ing the ocean, and some may never return. To those of us who have sons over there, and our youngest just taken away, 1t is sad, indeed; but we are proud to know that they have the manhood, the chivalry and the pride to heroically and voluntari- lv bear their part in the great ce7iict now pending.

The one consoling thought to the sad and distressed fathers and mothers of this country is that the beginning of the end of this cruel war is drawing near. The news that Bulgaria, a Ger. man ally, is suing for peace, on its own initiative, and that Fur key, another ally of the Teutons, is terribly demoralized, gives ev. idence of the fact that the enc mics of liberty are giving up the fight. Austria's plight is not the best and it, too, may soon fall in to line with Bulgaria, and Ger. many, left alone, would soon be overthrown, and a1e end of the war would come. Hasten the day.

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be
 Cured.

By local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased por- tion of the ear. There Is only one way to cure catarrhal deaf ness, and that is by constitu- tional remedy. Catarrhal Deaf ness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result Unless the inflammation can be reduced and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever. Many cases of deafness Is caused by ca tarrh, which is an inflamed con- dition of the mucous surfaces. Halls Catarrh Medicine acts thru the blood on the mucous surfaces of the system.
 We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Catarrhal Deafness that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Medicine. Circulars free. All Druggists, 75e.
