LOSS FROM INFERIOR SEEDS
Farmer Is Cautioned to Make Test in
Home Germinator in Advance
of Planting.

American farmers suffer losses
every year through inferior seed, the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture finds. If seed is foul with weeds
or if the seeds are dead, the loss can
not be made up once the crop is in
the ground. If a crop is to be planted
in April, discovery of poor seed in
May does no good. The remedy is
to test seeds in home germinator in
advance of planting.
Small samples of seed are counted
out and sowed in moist soil in some
shallow receptacle like kitchen
plate. The plate may be kept near
the stove or anywhere to maintain a
temperature conducive TO germina-
ton. When the plants have had time
to sprout, count of the results will
give a good indication of the value
of the seed.

Stone Walls, Split Rails and

OF all the changes wrought in the
farming industry during the last cen
fury none is more noticeable than that
in fencing, say specialists OF the Uni
ted States Department of Agriculture.
All over the Eastern United States
there are hundreds of miles OF stone
wall fences which are monuments to
the patience and thorOughnesS OF
earlier generations. Overlapping this
territory, and extending west, are
found fences of split rails, with their
familiar weeds and berry bushes in
the angles, while still farther west,
where there was neither wood nor
stone. are seen Usage orange ana
other hedges. These are natural pro-
auctions of the time.

animals through wire cutting is not
serious but for the farmer with fine
horses, or a selected herd of cattle,
large mesh woven-wire fences are
coming more into use.
Ends and Corners.
The manner in which the fence Is
erected has much TO do with its serv-
ice. The ends and corners are by far
the most important elements of n
fence. 1t is essential that they remain
firm and solid in order TO hold the
fence rigid. The first thing 10 consider
is placing the corners. The posts used
should be large enough to give suffi-
cient strength they should be set deep
enough to prevent heaving by the ac-
ton of frost; they should be braced
from each direction of tension by a
stout rail about II feet long.
Metal and concrete posts are on the
market, but great many farmers cling
to wooden ones. The line posts SHOULD
be approximately 1 inches in diameter.
Various woods are used, including
