The Red Ark.

Gone To the home of their childhood,
Gone to the place OF their birth;
The Reds and some blues" are sailing
away
From the shores where they wanted the
earth
They never viii see Us again.
Their sorrow Is deep and they weep.
They still have an eve on the place they
have left
To see if they catch Us asleep.
They're nearing the shore dry land is in
view;
They look for a welcoming hand
May they find it at once and leave III
alone
And stay with their own jazz band.

GETTING PROFITS IN
FEEDING LIVE STOCK
TWO Tests Conducted on Private
Farms in Florida.
Herd of Native Steers Turned on Field
Of Velvet Beans Gave Better Re-
suits Than Those Fed on
More Expensive Feeds.

Less gains in weight but greater
profits resulted from feeding herd of
cattle in velvet bean field, compared
with another herd fed in a similar field
for only a short time and then given
more costly feed, including sorghum
silage and cottonseed meal. These two
feeding tests were conducted on pri-
vate farms in Florida in cooperation
with the bureau of animal industry,
United States department of agricul-
ture.
In one case 900 native steers, three
to five years old and averaging $50
pounds per head, were turned into
an S0-acre field Of velvet beans early
in November. After % days the ami
mails averaged 800 pounds and the feed
was changed to sorghum silage, velvet
beans in pod and cottonseed meal. On
the fifty-sixth day the weight was $50
pounds. On the eighty-fourth day.
when the test ended, 1t was 644 pounds
The average daily grain per head was
approximately three-fourths of
pound The ration was not the typical
was one used TO secure comparable
degree of finish. Had grain been fed
in addition probably greater gain
would have been secured There was
a 50 margin and profit of $4.02 per
head.
In the second experiment 116 native
steers similar to the first herd were
ppstured on an S5-acre field of velvet
beans for ~ days, beginning at about
the same time of year. They lost
considerable in weight for part of
the second month. but there was a
daily average gain for the whole pc
Rod of little more than one-fourth
pound per steer. The pasture charge
H. this case was 50 per acre and the

JACK FROST'S CLEVER TRICKS
Chief Among Them Is Ability to Make
Water That Is Frozen an Excep-
ton to the Rule.

Jack Frost is very clever fellow, for
not only is he an artist-for every
one has seen the beautiful designs he
draws on the window-but he also does
some wonderful conjuring tricks.
AS you know, he bursts pipes, and
this is how he does it, the Montreal
Herald states:
First of all, you should remember
that "Jack Frost is merely another
name for the extreme winter cold.
which is below freezing point
Nearly every substance in nature
expands or stretches when heated and
contracts or occupies smaller space
when the temperature falls, but water
is an exception to this rule. For,
though it expands when heated, it does
not contract when frozen on the con-
trary, it expands once more.
You can prove this yourselves on a
frosty day by this simple experiment:
Fill bottle with water right up to
the cork, and leave it out to freeze
overnight In the morning you will
find that the cork is right out of the
neck of the bottle on a piece of ice.
Now, this shows that water expands
when frozen, and that is exactly what
happens when the water freezes in q
pipe. 1t expands and bursts the pipe,
and it Is not until the water thawS
and gushes out that we know about
it.

Red clover seed is selling at approx
lmateiy 90 cents a pound. At that
price farmer cannot afford to SOW
as clover seed anything that is not
clover seed. Half dollar a pound
for weed seed, chaff, and dirt Is too
high price to pay for the privilege
OF being careless-particular as seed
testing is comparatively an easy and
wholly an inexpensive operation.
There Is but one factor in crop pro-
duction over which the farmer has
absolute control. Sunshine and moist
ure are matters that are wholly be-
yond his power of influence. Measur-
ably. he can control culture, but too
much rain or too long drought at
a critical time may place even that
beyond his power. But, no matter
what happens, the farmer can he sure
that he is planting good seed-the
kind of seed that, given fair chance,
will produce a full crop. He cannot
afford to handicap himself at the out

seed-the kind of seed that can
not make full crop no matter how
favorable conditions may be.
Labelling Of Seeds Promised.
The sale Of seeds, in many stares,
Is regulated by law, the seller being
required to make certain statements
as to quality, but the law is not ap-
plicable to seeds that go into inter-
state commerce. In order to meet this
difficulty so far as possible, the secre-
tary of agriculture, In 1917, asked rep
resentatives of the seed trade to meet
in Washington and secured the con-
sent of most of them to a suggestion
that seed men label all farm seeds
sold in lots Of 10 pounds or more,
the label to show percentage of pure
seed, percentage of termination, and
date Of termination test. In some
cases the agreement was not lived up
to, but the matter has again been
called to the attention of seed men and |
Montpelier examiner. [volume] (Montpelier, Idaho) 1895-1937, 1920-02-27

many of them have again announced
that they will label all seed they sell.
Practically all large seed houses
now have facilities for testing the
quality Of all lots of seeds that they
buy and sell. They have, therefore,
the information that the farmer needs,
and he should insist upon being given
this information when he buys seeds.
Few farmers are willing to buy low.

dirt, weed seeds, and dead seeds-if
they know how poor 1t is. The deal.
er, however, almost invariably makes
his largest profit on the lower grade
of seed he sells and is not always will
Ing to put on truthful label. The
farmers protection lies in buying only
labeled seeds.
Farmer May Protect Himself.
The farmer, however, may do a
great deal toward protecting himself
by testing seeds at home. ''Testing
Seed in the Home and in the Rural
School," published by the United
States department of agriculture as
Farmers Bulletin 426, discusses the
subject In detail. 1t will be furnished
free on request.
All kinds of farm seeds may be SUBJ
Jected to one kind of test or another,
but the seeds of the crops in most
general use and which it is especially
desirable to have tested are the true
clovers, such as red, alsike, and GRIM
son; alfalfa; such grasses as timothy,
orchard grass, and the millets; ce-
reals, rape, flax, vetch, and corn. Much
of the seed of these crops, except ce-
reals and corn, is imported and widely
variable grades are on the market.
Just now a great deal of clover seed
is being imported from Italy, and
specialists believe that much of 1t
is poorly adapted to American condi-
tons. The prevalence of foreign.
grown seed in the market is probably
not generally recognized, but it is one
Of the important elements in maxine

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect It
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.

Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root is
soon realized. 1t stands the highest for
its remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview on the subject, made the as.
tonishing statement that one reason why
so many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble is 80
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose aprlica-
tons are declined do not even suspect
that they have the disease. It is ON sale
at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes,
medium and large.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..
Alimer q Co., Binghamton, N. Y. for a
