THE FARMS AND THE RANGES
Edited by Francis A. Chisholm, County Agricul tural Agent

that the largest kernels of seed corn will pass through the planter without injury and they should arrange their n-planting plates with this in mind. The large, well-formed kernels are the most desirable for planting opera tions, as they contain more nourish- ment and will develop into more vig- orous stalks capable of yielding larg- CT and better ears of corn.
 Corn culture is in a pitiful stage of evolution. If the grower does not fol- low natural selection his crop will not improve, while if his operations are in harmony with natural selection, he is able to better the corn markedly. Along this line, it is possible to plant the crop earlier and to allow natural selection to pick out and retain the most hardy plants.

Steer Feeding Shows Results.

In a steer-feeding experiment con- ducted last year, four lots of Swear old steers were fed. The purpose was to compare cottonseed meal and soak ed velvet beans when used with and without the addition of shelled corn.
 The addition of corn to ration composed of corn silage, cottonseed meal, and wheat straw did not pay The addition of corn to the ration of velvet beans and corn silage was prof itable.
 The lot receiving corn silage and soaked velvet beans with a small quantity of cottonseed meal as an ap- petizer produced the most economical gains and showed the greatest profit, even though the daily gains and the selling price of the cattle were lower than those of any of the other lots.

Weak, thin peopie--rnen or wcmep- are nearly always nervous wreeks thus conclusively proving that thinness, weak ness, debility and neurasthenia are. al most invariably due to nerve starvation. Feed your nerves and all these symptoms due to nerve starvation will disappear:
 Eminent specialists state that one Of the best things for the nerves is an or ganic phosphate known among druggists as Bitro- Phosphate, a five-grain tablet Of which should be taken with each meal Being genuine nerve builde. and not stimulant or habit-forming drug, Bitro- Phosphate can be safely taken by the weakest and most delicate sufferer, and the results following its use are often simply astonishing.
 By strengthening the nerves, weak. tired people regain energy and vigor thinness and angularity give way to pdumpness and curves; sleep returns to the sieepiess confidence and cheerfuiness replace. debility and gloom: dull eyes be- come bright, and pale. sunken cheeks regain the pink glow of health. It is sold by Lee 6 Osgood and oil good druggists.
 CAUTIoN-Bitro-Pho the use of which is inexpensive. also wonderfully promotes the assimilation of food, so much so that many people report marked gains of weight in d few weeks. Those taking it who do not desire to put on flesh should use extra care in avoiding fat-pr06ucing foods.
