Farmers wishing to set out vine

spring planting, according to horucul-
urlSts at the Ohio experiment. station.
A number Of cuttings may be made
from one ylne and after one year of
cultivation IN q small nursery lot The
young vines are ready for planting,
Cuttings should be taken from new
wood. each cutting having two TO three
buds upon 1t. The cuttings are from
s to u inches long the bottom being

the top Of the cutting has . or 3 inches
OF wood above the top bud,
These are tied in bundles and placed
IN damp sand In the cellar or buried
out Of doors and covered TO prevent
injury from severe freezing
In the spring the cuttings are set
IN rows 3 feet apart and 4 inches In
the row. Only the upper bud is al.
lowed TO extend above the ground, 10

SEED TESTING WITH
SIMPLE EQUIPMENT
Sufficient Accuracy Can Be Made
by Beginner.
Younger Members Of Home Circle
Should Find Such Work Easy and
Interestng-Apparatus Not
at All Expensive.

Seed tests sufficiently accurate to
answer all practical purposes can be
made by a beginner with very little
practice. say specialists of the United
States department Of agriculture. The
younger members of the home circle
should find such work not only COM
paratively easy but very interesting.
Testing of locally grown seed is aid
ed by the possession of a correctly
named set of the seeds of crops and
Of weeds prevailing in the vicinity.
Only such apparatus is needed in
making practical seed tests as enables
one to use weighed quantity Of seed
from the sample, to separate the pure
seed from the foreign seeds and other
impurities, to distinguish the char
acter Of the foreign seeds and to make
the termination test.
Only by using a weighed quantity
of seed can one determine the rela-
tive quantities of pure and Of impure
seeds in the sample. This requires a
balance sufficiently sensitive to be
moved by a small weight, such as that
.of few clover seed But balance
Of this kind, designed 70 rest on the
edge of a knife blade, can be made
from two lead pencils two cardboard
disks, two pieces Of wire, some rubber
bands, a darning needle, q common
brass pin, and two bits Of board. The
only equipment needed consists Of a
few BIB shots nattened, to be used as
weights. With this balance, if the
pure seed from a sample balances .
shots and tie impurities balance one
shot the sample is shown 10 be 90
per cent pure. Some shots may be cut
into halves, quarters, eghts, and six
teenths for fractional weights.
Such other apparatus as is desirable
can be made or bought at small cost.
A pair Of forceps for picking up the
shots and for separating seeds can be
made Of two thin strips Of hickory, or
piece of spring wire bent into T.

STRAWBERRIES SURE
Ample Supply Of Moisture Is Essential
During Both Growing and Fruit
ing Seasons.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture)
Strawberries must have an ample
supply of moisture not only during the
season of bearing fruit but also
throughout the growing season. For
this reason irrigation is necessary TO
make the crop reasonably sure I'm most
sections Of the western United States.
As strawberries have a shallow root
system the surface soil must De kept
moist and irrigation must be more fre-
Qucut than for many plants whose
roots penetrate the soil deeply. The
number of irrigatlons. however, will
depend largely on the character and
frequency of the tillage used i'm con-
serving moisture and ON the type and
condition of the soil. If the burrows
are thoroughly cultivated as soon as
the moisture conditions permit after
each irrigation the number of applica-
tiOnS of water can be materially re-
duced, as compared with the number
required when cultivation is neglected,
In the lighter soils, during the bearing
season, the fields may be irrigated as
often as every four to six days, and
in heavy soils every week or two. Dur
ing the months when the plants are not
fruldng only enough water to keep
them in a thrifty growing condition is
necessary.
During the picking period the usual
practice is to irrigate Immediately
after each picking. When there is dan
ger that the water in the burrows may
not be absorbed before the following
picking the field may be covered by
two applications, alternate furrows
being irrigated in turn.
In many parts Of the western states

such quantities as a result of irriga-

I used to get bilious and constipatEs

other strong medicines would only tear
my stomach up and leave me in
worse fix than before taking. I began
to have sick headache.

If your liver is not acting properly
you may suffer from such symptoms
as headache, biliousncss, constipation,
Indigestion, etc, and unless relief is
obtained serious trouble may result.
In its 70 years Of successful use,
Thedford's Black-Draught has been

Female Stock Need Not Be Purebred.
Though pointing out the foregoing
ohseryationS-and especially the ten
dency for purebred-sire owners TO ac-
Quire purebred females-the depart
meuU of agriculture does not urge pure
bred female stock on the average farm.
Whether purebred females should be
kept is a matter of individual judg-
ment depending on circumstances
which the livestock owner is best able
to know. The successful breeding Of
purebred live stock as Il business calls
for close attention and considerable
experience, both in production and
marketing. BY contrast, the purpose Of
the better-SireS movement is to raise
the average quality Of all live stock
in the United States.
The department therefore goes no
further than to urge the use Of good
purebred sireS. 1t believes that after
having taken that step livestock own
ers will continue to improve their do
nestle animals, raising either grades,
crosSbredS, or purebreds-or some Of
eaCh-whichever seems best suited to
the kind of farming followed and to
available markets.

Out of every 100 tons of normal
coal production from American
mines, railroads use 26 tons. The
railroads, controlling the distribution
of coal cars, have their orders filled

The only way the mine operator
can get gondola and hopper cars IS
by accepting the railroads terms. If
he refuses, he gets no cars and has to
shut down, and the empty cars go to
mine that will serve the railroad
at its own terms.
Railroads are getting their coal,
but that leaves only one-fifth the
number of cars needed to supply
household consumers, manufacturers
and public utilities. o..
The heavy mining season in coal
starts with July. Retail coal deal

railroads get coal cars moving in
quantity. Also how consumers will
be able to get coal at all, even at ex-
tortionate prices, if cars are not sup
piled to haul it from the mines.
