Testing Seed Before Planting

What makes seed grow? If YOU
take a grain of corn and split 1t
into two equal halves you will see
down at the bottom of the grain
and near the tip by which it was
originally attached to the ear there
IS q little germ. 1t differs in char
6cter and composition from the bal
ance of the grain. Its whole size
and character are easily ascertained
even by a casual glance. 1t is rich
er than the other part of the grain,
and if this germ were carefuli>
tray it would sprou if it were VIA
Dle, showing that it was alive and
therefore, capable of growth and re-
production. After removing the
fully as may be possible you may
plant the grain and watch in vain
FOR any sign of growth or develop
ment; None Will occur, but later
on the grain will shrivel up and
decay. On the other. hand, if YOU
ear, if the germ is in good con-
dition. and plant it it will grow,
and if you examine it from day
to day you will see that it is grad
food which the grain of corn con-
tanned outside of the germ. In otner
words, nature has stored a reserve
of food which the little germ. after

oned roots sufficiently large to en-
able it to food itself from the soil.
in case it does not do this it will
shrivel away and die.
1t is a very interesting and in
thing to watch such proc
csses as those indicated above. 1t
adds materially to ones education,
to ones respect and admiration, un-

ture and the wonderfully wise pro-
vision she has made for the repro
ducton of those economic plants out
of which the worlds industry, com
merce and civilization have been de-
veloped and will be maintained IN
the future. Every viable grain ofl
seed must, therefore, have a germ
if it is to grow and develop and
its kind. Hence the thing
above all others in which the farm

The improper understanding Of
these problems no doubt causes the
loss of more honey and has more to
do with the low average production
than any other factor, specialists be-
lieve. The study of these problems
is important for those who wish to
keep bees commercially, and much in
formation may be obtained concern
ing them from the bee publications
of the department of agriculture. The
usual methods of swarm prevention
are concerned to a large extent with
the supplying of room-room for
brood rearing: and room for the stor-
damental. Many beekeelers fail to
supply enough room for these pur-
poses, and probably no beekeeper
supplies too much. During the period
of rapid brood rearing, crowded con-
ditions quickly result if single hive
body is all that the colony has in
which to develop. If headed by a
good vigorous queen normal colony
needs at least two 10-frame hive
bodies for brood rearing alone, and
during the honey flow the supply
ing of four or five supers furnishes
none too much space for nectar stor-
age and the ripening of honey.
AS rapidly as the bees begin work
ing readily in one super, another
should be added below the first. In
the same way third super may be
supplied. AS rule the super near
est completion is farthest from the
brood nest, and the one in which the
least has been stored is nearest the
brood nest. Toward the end of the
flow, increase in storage space is not
desirable, and the bees are left to fill
entirely what supers they have and
to ripen the honey completely. II
too much space has been supplied
some of the supers may be removed.
The close of the flow marks the be-
ginning of another period of prepar-
alton, and if winter is at hand the
cycle of the year is complete.

Several conditions may be caus-

about which you complain. Usually
a rough and staring cost and inabil

with worm infestation, or else the
ration is so entirely at variance with
the needs of the animal that it does
not meet the requirements Of the

probably feeding pulled fodder and

management due to neglect or to ig

! management due to neglect or to ig
norance.
A casual survey of beekeeping prac-
| tees makes it evident that the great
| est cause of this low production is
| lack Of care during the critical pc
RODS of the year. Broadly, the bee
keeping year may be divided into
two distinct periods-the period of
preparation for the honey flow and
| the period of the honey flow. Dur
| ing each the problems are different
and may be clearly defined. Usual
| ly there is only one period of prep
9ration, which begins at the end of
the honey flow in the fall and lasts
ceeding year. However, where there
is more than one main honey flow,
there is a period Of preparation Of
varying length between each one.
The Bookkeeping problem is the same,
however, and it consists in secur-
ing a colony overlooking with bees
ready for the field when the honey
starts.
Must BE Ready for Work
In the north this problem is called
wintering, and to the average bee
keeper the chief concern is to care
for each colony Of bees so that it
will be in condition to pass success
fully through the winter period. This,
however, is but a small and easy part
of the problem. Bringing bees
through the winter will not in itself
accomplish the main object of the
preparation period, that of securing
colony overlooking with bees at
the time of the honey flow. In a
large measure the strength of the COL
ony is a direct gauge of the amount
of surplus secured and it is to the
beekeeper's advantage to do every
thing which will in any way favor
rapid brood rearing during the two
fn -
This means not only that bees must
be wintered but they must be in
such condition in the fall that spring
will find them ready and able to un-
dertake this tremendous increase in
population.
it will be seen, therefore, that the
preparation of bees for the harvest
begins not when winter threatens but
Immediately after the last main hon
ey flow and continues to the begin
ming of the first main flow the sue
ceeding year. 1t is imperative that
during all this period each colony
has stores in advance of it's needs
at all times room for broob rearing
and protection from low temperatures
and winds. These things are dis
cussed in the bee publications of the
United States department of agri-
culture.
SWarnling Must Be stopped
Toward the beginning of the main
honey flow the problem changes. 1t
is now essential taht each colony
be prevented from reducing it's work
ing force by swarming and that it's
instinct to store and gather honey
be kept dominant. During the Pc
riod of preparation, the instincts of
the bees are in harmony with the
desires of the beekeeper, but during
the swarming season the instincts
of the bee are directly opposed to
his interests. Any breaking up of
inc force b Wv swsrmine " brings a "c cor
responding reduction in the amount
of surplus Whic hmay be obtained
from that colony. Therefore it is
to the beekeeper's advantage to pre-
vent swarming in every possible way
and if swarming still occurs, to care
for the SWarmS SO that as much as

peas or velvet beans or soy beans
will produce a much more SatiSfac-
tory roughage for horses than the
pulled leaves of the corn plant alone.
In addition, you should figure on
changing one grain ration to con-
form TO the requirements and needs
of this class of live stock. This
may be accomplished in one of sew
erai ways. Mix equal parts OF
ground velvet beans with corn or
corn and cob meal, or you may feed
at morning and noon and feed your
work stock on soaked velvet beans
at night, giving them a reasonable
quantity but not overlooking. I'm
less you soak the velvet beans the
animals are not likel yto eat them
corn meal and peanut meal will be
found very satisfactory mixed on
the basis of half and half of these
two constituents. You may also use
say, 500 to 900 pounds of corn and
cob meal with 100 pounds cotton
seed meal.
These grain rations should not be
fed in larger amounts than fifteen
pounds a day to work stock weigh
ing 1000 pounds. Increase or de-
crease the amount suggested in pro-
portion to the size Of the animals.
In the case OF worm lnIeSLaJlOn,
which you can easily satisfy your
self ABOUT by carefully examining
the droppings, we would advise the
fasting of the workstock for about
twenty four hours and then the use
of turpentine in one-half to two
ounce doses dissolved in say a
quart of cottonseed oil or even a
larger proportion of milk. Then use
a good purgative such as EPSON
salts on the basis of one and a half
pounds A good condition powder
may then be fed for few days,
If your. horses are infested with
lice or mites they will not do Well.
You should be able to get rid these
by washing them thoroughly in a
solution of creolin, one part to fifty
parts water. 1t will be necessary to
repeat this treatment in the course
of a few days. Chickens should be
kept out of the stables occupied by
the horses and all the stables should
be thoroughly disinfected and rem
dered clean and sanitary by ap-
plying hot coal tar to cracks and
crevices, and withewashing the stalls,
managers and walls.

Your SOW is probably suffering from
a deficiency of mineral matter, due
to the fact that the ration you are
feeding her is entirely too one-sided
to meet the requirements of an ami.
mai sucking a lot of young pigs
Under such circumstances a SOW
should be very generously and lib
orally fed on foods rich and easily
diGested and assimilated. We would
advise that you cut out the corn
altogether for the time being and
use in place of it shorts reduced TO
skim milk or buttermilk. 1t will take
a rich and nutritious diet of this
kind to enable the SOW to sustain
herself satisfactorily and provide the
needs of her young pigs. She is no
doubt suffering more or less from a
ing or injury of the muscles of the
back or loin at the time of parturi
ton Rubbing the back with lini
rrcnt which will burn but not bliste'
will be an advantage.
Give the SOW her liberty. Let her
take such exercise as she may be
disposed to take herself. 1t is, of
course, desirable probably that yo';
conf1ne her to a suitable pen at times
where the floors are dry and well
bcdded and where she can be pro
teCted from severe rains and cold
We also advise that Won prepare 4
box of material containing the fol
lowing INGREDIENTS, and place where
the SOW can secure as much as sh
may be disposed to consume: Two
pounds pulverized copperas 4 pounds
bushel charcoal, bushel wood ashes,
and 8 pounds air-slaked lime. We
believe if this treatment is carefully
followed out q cure can be effected.

THE IMPUDENCE OF HIM.

In view of his record of bad deeds,
one would be indeed gullible who
would accept at fact value the declara-
ton of Alexander Berkman that he
and his outlaw crew of anarchists love
the United States. Facing deportation,
it would seem that Berkman is trying
to arouse pity by professions of pa
tifotism. The situation recalls the
couplet of Rabelais:
THE devil was sick--the devil a monk
would be;
The devil was well--the devil monk
was he"
During twenty-eight years or more
of residence in the United states
Berkman has had ample opportunity
10 show his love for the country. But
what do we find in examining his ca
reer here? That most of the time he
has been in prison for flouting the
laws and the constitution, his crimes
having ranged from attempted assas-
sination to obstruction of the opera
ton of the selective draft act.
The supreme court declines to inter-
fore and Berkman and Emma Goldman
will be sent back to Russia.
