urged the councilmen to inspect the

politics and had some of its officials
distribute ballots at one of the eau

no tricks about him. Mr., Curtis

mercial street, within a few score
yards of the police station, the flag
walk Is In such condition that 1t is
remarkable that someone has not
been injured by being thrown after
tripping. On Church street, which
is heavily travelled day and night,
some flags are at least an inch
higher than others, and the same is
true in many other places, yet no
move is made to do the simple re-
pairs necessary.
Icy sidewalks, of course. cause
more accidents than defective walks,
but it is far more difficult to pre-
clude them than it is to guard
against accidents because of the lat

find 1t well nigh impossible to keep
their walks clear of ice and snow,
but there is no good excuse for al
lowing raised and broken flags to
continue in place year after year.
1t is characteristic Of the human
element in the situation that after
accidents occur and injuries and ex-

pair the walks. Now with the pol

Test Seed Corn
to Avoid Loss
Expense Involved Is Slight
and Will Prevent All
Weak Plants.

Poor seed means poor stand, miss
ing hills and weak stalks, producing
little or nothing. It means waste land
and wasted labor. It is sound bust
ness to know that the seed planted
will grow. The only way to find out
Is to test. Satisfactory tests can be
made by simple methods. The ex-
pense involved is slight. Considering
the little time and effort required,
testing Of seeds has been thoroughly
justified.
Corn lends itself to testing better
chan any other grain, as it is neces-
sary to test only a few kernels from
each ear to separate the unsound ears
from those that give good termination.
Rag-DoIl Method Best.
The rag-doll method is best suited
FOR testing seed corn and sorghums in
the head. The termination cloth
should be 16 inches wide and go
inches long. Draw line with pen
ell down the center Of the strip Of
cloth. Mark the strips crosswise
every four inches and number the Sec
lions. Moisten the tester before put
cling the kernels upon it. Always
number the ears before removing the
kernels. From different places on ear
No. / take out ten kernels and place
them in section No. l. Similarly take
ten kernels from No. 2 and place in
section No. 2; continue until every
section is filled. Place the kernels
away from the dividing lines so a
slight displacement caused by handling
The tester will not mix the samples.
Fold each side Of the tester so that
The edges meet in the middle. Press
the cloth down firmly over the kerr
nels and roll the tester using some
cylindrical object as core.
Working the Tester.
Soak the tester for ten hours in
warm water. Then drain off the wa
ter, leaving the tester in the pail with
loose-fitting cover where 1t is warm
and moist. A temperature between
80 and 80 degrees during the day and
80 to 60 degrees during the night will
give good results. The tester should
at all times be moist and have good
ventilation.
At the end Of six days unroll the
tester, taking care not to disarrange
the sprouts. The results will indicate
which ears grow with strong shoots,
which are weak and which will not
grow at all.

Easier to Raise Ducks
Than Little Chickens

With reasonably good care and feed
ing, little ducklings are easier TO raise
than chickens and will seldom be lost.
Two important things to remember
however, are these-ducklings must
always have plenty Of air to breathe
and a dry place in which to- exer-
else.
A brooder cannot be tightly closed
at night or dead ducks will be- found
in the morning. Many duck r,aisers
sremove the skirts of the hovers entire
ly after the first Of May in order that
the air may circulate freely over and
around the brood when they are rest
ing or during the night.
While ducks enjoy water after they
get good start, there is nothing hard
er on little ducklings than damp, rainy
conditions. Keep them warm and dry
until feathered out.

Steer Feeding Advantages

Steer feeding is a business CHAT
fits in conveniently with the work OF
the ordinary farm, starting after crops
are harvested and ending before
spring planting begins. Steer feeding
provides a market for the hays and
other roughages produced on the farm
during the summer. By providing
work during the winter months, the
farmer can employ more satisfactory

No organization functions properly
without organization.
The price Of eggs this winter is from
four to nine cents higher on dozen
than it was last year.
The farm value of crops produced
in New York during 1925 showed an
Increase Of 9 per cent over the pre-
ceding year.
Heavy grain feeding just before
lambing may cause udder trouble.
However, the ewes should have some
grain at this time.
Apparently the supply of men who
were born and reared on a farm and
who have college training is not in
creasing as fast as the demand.

Gluten feed and cottonseed meal
are relatively cheap dairy feeds. They
should be used in rations to balance
