Test Your Seed Corn.

II Is not too late in most sections TO
test seed corn. Five or six days are
ample for the test. Never before has
It been OF such Importance to deter
mine the termination OF seed corn be-
fore planting. Because OF unusual con-
dltions last season. much OF the seed
held over will not be fit to plant at
least at the regular rate OF seeding.
The termination test will show how
much of the seed will grow. Let the
rag doll tester make this determine

machinery, economizing labor and
doing the work In less laborious
manner.
Much of the corn that Is now husked
from the shocks could be handled more
economically and with saving in feed
value Of slower by substituting ma
chine huskers and shedders for hand
labor. The use of corn pickers would
accomplish similar results in the case
OF corn husked from the standing
stalks. Unloading and elevating ma
chinery at the crib should be intro
duced and more generally used in
many sections where 1t Is now un-
known or not commonly used. Where
such facilities are not available cribs
should be constructed in such a
manner that they can be filled and
emptied with the least possible labor.
For level ground double cribs with
an elevated driveway and approaches
that will enable the loads to be driven
through the cribs and dumped or
scooped out of the wagons without
any high pitching are very satisfac-
tory.

How Potato Spraying Paid.

Some potato growers, according to
q recent statement from the depart
ment OF agriculture, have expressed
the opinion that 1t does not pay to
spray potatoes for late blight. That
thorough spraying will control the
blight in seasons OF bad Infection has
been proved many times in the past,
says the statement. and most recently
In Aroostook county. Me-, In 1917.
Among other places in the county this
was shown conclusively at Aroostook
farm, where extensive experiments
were conducted by the United States
department Of agriculture In co-opera-
ton with the Maine Agricultural Ex-
pertinent station. In one block where
small test plots sprayed with standard
bordeaux mixture were interspersed
with untreated plots, the average
yield on IL of the former was at the
rate Of 1872 bushels per acre, while
that on an equal number of untreated
plots was at the rate of 1875 bushels
per acre, an increase Of 37.7 bushels
per acre, or more than 20 per cent In
favor OF bordeaux mixture.

clean and store incubators.

After the Matching season is over,
clean and disinfect the incubator.
Empty the lamps and carefully store
the parts inside the machine. Lamps
containing oil which are allowed to
remain in place on the incubator for
some time after the Matching season
may cause trouble when the machine
Is started again as the oil tends TO
work up into the hood. The incubator
should be disinfected once year or
oftener IL any disease Is present In the
hens or chickens. Some operators
prefer to disinfect their incubators
before or after each hatch. A strong
solution Of a reliable coal-tar disinfec-
tant may be used to wash out the
machine and to dsinfect the egg trays
and nursery drawer.
If the burlap on the bottom of the
incubator is very dirty It may be
cheaper to renew than to clean It,.
With an incubator of about cubic
feet capacity one may disinfect by
pouring one-half ounce of formalin.
which contains 40 per cent formalde-
hyde. on one-half ounce of perman-
ganate of potash In pan In the In
cubator. This produces a very pene-
trating gas and thoroughly disinfects
the machine. The door Of the incu-
bator should be closed Just as soon
as the liquid Is poured into the pan
and left closed for IL hours or longer.
Incubators should be well aired be-
fore they are used after disinfecting,
especially when formaldehyde or any
dlsinfectant which produces gas has
been used.

RELIABLE PRESCRIPTION
FOR THE KIDNEYS

For many years druggists have watched
with much interest the remarkable record
maintained by DIR. Kilmer's Swamp Root,
the great kidney, liver and bladder medi-
cine.
1t is a physicians prescription.
Swamp Root is a strengthening medi-
cine. 1t helps the kidneys, liver and blad-
der do the work nature intended they
should do.
Swamp Root has stood the test of years.
1t is sold by all druggists on its merit and
it should help you. No other kidney medi-
cine has SO many friends.
BE sure to get Swamp-Root and start
treatment at once.
However, if you wish first TO test this
great preparation send ten cents to DIR

CALL FOR MORE CORN

Wheat excepted, corn Is the
most valuable and indispensable
Of the worlds grain crops. II
! holds commanding position In
the agriculture Of the United
States. Its vast acreage and
heavy yields are responsible to
no small extent for the success
Of agriculture. The department
of agriculture, In It's program Is
sued early In February. which
accomplished and amplifled the
food production program for
1913 published by the depart
ment in August, 1917, recon-
mended that an acreage of corn
approximately equal to that or
1917, which was the largest on
record, should be planted In
1913, with possibly slight reduc
lions in certain sections to free
areas for spring wheat. In 1917
the acreage devoted to corn was
approximately 119,755,000 acres,
compared with 105,672 900 acres.

eggs PRESERVED
FOR WINTER USE
Either Water Glass or LimeWa-
ter May Be Used by Any
Housewife.
TWO PLANS ARE DESCRIBED
Use Only Firm-SheIIed, Fresh, Clean,
and " Possible, Infertile Eggs
Cost Is Estimated at Two
Cents Per Dozen.

While high prices for eggs last
winter are still fresh In your mind 1t
is well to make resolve to preserve
eggs this spring when they are plenti-
full for the season of scarcity which
comes In the fall and winter. Putting
up eggs in water-gass solution or
limewater Is not an experimental en-
terprlse. Thousands of women pre-
serve eggs by these methods In the
spring and early summer and keep
them for winter use. Fresh eggs
properly preserved will keep for eight
TO twelve months In excellent condi-
ton and may be used with good re-
suits.
IL satisfactory results are to be OBJ
tanned the eggs should be fresh and
clean, firm-shelled and, II possible. In
fertile. Eggs laid during April, May
and early June have been found to
keep better than those laid later In the
season. Eggs that float when placed
in the solution are not fresh ana
therefore, cannot be preserved. When
an egg is only slightly soiled cloth
to remove such stains. Under no cir
cumstances should badly soiled eggs
be used for preserving. n put into the
jar while dirty they will spoil, ana
washing removes protective coating
which prevents spelling.
Cost OF Preserving.
BY the water-glass or sodium sill
cate method eggs may be preserved at
a cost of about two cents a dozen II
the price Of sodium silicate Is 80 cents
a quart. 1t is not desirable to use the
water-glass solution a second time.
Here is the water-glass method as
described by specialists Of the United
State department of agriculture:
Use quart Of sodium silicate to .
quarts of water that has been boiled
and cooled. Place the mixture In a
5-gallon crock or Jar. This will be
sufficient to preserve Is dozen eggs
and will serve as a guide for the guam
tity needed to preserve larger num-
bers Of eggs.
Select a five-gallon crock and clean
1t thoroughly, after which II should be
scalded and allowed to dry. Heat q
quantity of water to the boiling point
and allow II to cool. When cool, meas
ure out 8 quarts of water, place 1t
in the crock and add quart of So
dium silicate. stirring the mixture
thoroughly. The eggs should be placed
I'm the solution. II sufficient eggs are
not obtainable when the solution Is
first made, additional eggs may be
added from time to time. Be very
careful to allow at least two inches Of
the solution to cover the eggs at all
times. Place the crock containing the
preserved eggs In cool, dry place,
well covered to prevent evaporation.
waxed paper covered over and tied
around the top Of the crock will an
swer this purpose.
Limewater May Be Used.
When water-glass cannot be OBJ
tanned, limewater may be used in Its
stead. Dissolve 2 or 3 pounds OF
unslaked lime in gallons OF water
that has previously been boiled and
allowed to COOL. and allow the mix
ture to stand until the lime settles
and the liquid is clear. Place clean,
fresh eggs in a clean earthenware jug

WAYS TO PREVENT EGG
LOSSES.


Here are 1--WE ways to prevent
spoilage OF eggs from heat, the
great enemy of both fertile and
infertile eggs.
l. Keep the nests clean;
provide one nest for every four
hens.
.. Gather the eggs twice
daily.
3. Keep the eggs in a cool,
dry room or cellar.
4. Market the egg, at least
twice q week.
s. Sell, kill or confine all
male birds as soon as the hatch

AN APPEAL TO LOYALTY

1t is hard to say, but it is true that
we have people in our state, our coun-
ty, our very community, who pro-
fess loyalty to their government, yet
cannot show one single thing they
have done to prove it.
l can put my hand on people who
claim to be loyal and yet have not
done one thing to help the govern
ment either in Bonds, Stamps or even
the Red Cross.
The way is so simple, that If you
have not yet done anything you
should arouse yourself from your
sleep. You know and other will know
If you don't support your country al
this time.
You have already missed several
chances to help. You now have an.
other chance to help your country II
you want victory. Do something now
that will be great when done. If you
do not, the time is coming when you
will feel very little.
You cannot afford to let this op.
portunity pass. DOCK BOAN
