Simple And Successful Means
OF TESTING Corn termination

In selecting seed corn, pay particular
attention to the shank, says II. l.. Wal
ster, agronomist at the North Dakota
experiment. station, in describing a
rood method Of testing seed corn for
examination.
Any shanks that are pink, brown, or
IAredded in appearance were probably
produced on a diseased stalk, and will
rot made a healthy growth when plant

Do not take ears that were poorly
covered with the husk in the field be-
cause they have been exposed to the
Sad effects of the weather, and may

Good seed corn should be mature ;
rough, chaffy kernels indicate that the
iced did not ripen properly. Varieties
having long, deep kernels are not
adapted to North Dakota because Of
heir long season Of growth. Good
,eed corn should be bright looking, and
lever have dull appearance.
Each ear should be tested for ger

Ninety eggs pay cost. The 15O-egg
hen is worth six l0O-egg hens.
The price of feed does not always
disclose it's real value in making eggs
Water is almost as important as teeC
in egg production.
Early maturing pullets usually make
good egg producers.
Medium weight hens of any variety
are usually most profitable.
A mixture of half blue ointment and
half lard or tallow makes good louise
killer.
The loss from lice and mites is more
than their weight in gold.
High producing hens are wedge
shaped with point in front.
Worms, bugs, insects and green food
make hens "shell out" low priced eggs
