SCHOOL SEED CORN TESTS.
Recommended by Department of Ag
riculture ae Exerciee For Children.
Seed corn testing as a school exer
cise, especially in the rural districts, is
recommended in a bulletin issued by
the United States department of agri
culture for the following reasons:
First, it furnishes nn easy aud inter
esting study in seed germination and
plant growth; second, the extended
use of a good method has vast eco
nomic value in improving the produc
tiveness of American agriculture, and,
third, the teaching of it in the rural
school exerts a strong influence to
ward increasing the confidence of par
ents in the permanent worth of good
school work.
The only materials needed are a
shallow wooden tray, a small handful
of carpet tacks, a few yards of wrap
ping twine, sand enough to fill the
tray and three or four quarts of wa
ter. The tray (or several of them) can
easily be sawed from nn empty soap
or cracker box. When finished It
should be about one and one-half inch
es deep inside, fifteen inches wide and
twenty-three inches long, but any of
these dimensions may be varied slight
ly. This tray is divided into small
squares by a checkerboard lacing of
twine across the top. It is convenient
to have these squares about one and
one-lmlf inches on a side, ten of them
in a row across the uarrow way of the
tray and fifteen the other way. The
lacing with the string should not be
done until the tray has been loosely
filled with dry sand heaped up a little
above its top edge. Then the sand
should be scraped off with a yardstick
or other straight edge even with the
top of the tray. After lacing with the
string the tray is ready for planting.
Have the children arrange, the ears

the tray. Tu cse rows of eurs should
be kept in a dry. warm place on fb«
floor, on corn racks or on shelves,
where It can lie certain tlmt tliey will
not he disturbed or displaced until tha
test is finished.
When ready to begin the test, two
children can work to the best advan
tage. one to handle the individual ears
and the other to plant the tray. The
first takes up ear No. 1 In the first
row and. with the point of a pocket
knife applied to the edge of.a kernel,
removes five kernels from each ear,
passes them to the second pupil and
carefully replaces the ear In its row.
The kernels should be taken in suc
cession (taking only those of average
siiiei from about au Inch atiove the
base of the ear to the same distance
below its tip. passing spirally around
and lengthwise of the ear. This in
sures'a fair test of the whole ear. as
It sometimes happens that one side or
one end of nn ear is sound, while the
others will dot grow. The illustration
shows a few ears with kernels remov
ed in this spiral fashion. Full direc
tions for the conduct of the test are
given in the luillellu.
Dairy Doings.
Sameness in feed is wo more con
ducive to appetite In the cow than lu
the human, and appetite is essential
to big production.
Treat your colves with considera
tion. They should have grazing, plen
ty of water and enough skimmtlk and
grain to form a balanced ration.
Kicking Is very frequently caused by
•ore teats, inflamed udders, long finger
nails and possibly at times by the gen
eral awkwardness of the milker.
The dairy barnyard should have
good slope, soch as will Insure good
surface drainage, and should have a
good top layer of rravel or clndera.
When buying cows for the dairy se
lect those having every Indication of
being milk producers, but determine
this positively by the use of the Bab
cock test and the scale.

HANDY LIFTING JACK.
Easily Mads Farm Device For Weigh
ing Heavy Articles.
Herewith is given an illustration of
a device for weighing cotton, beef,
hogs aud any other heavy article that
the farmer may want to weigh. This
was suggested to Farm and Ranch by
a man who finds it very handy on the
farm since one man can lift with it
about as much as five men without it
and with greater ease. It is made as
follows:
The timber used is 1 by 4, but for
articles weighing more than 400
pounds it will require stouter material.
Fcr the legs take one piece sixteen
feet long aud cut In three pieces—five,

five and six feet respectively. The
loTer is teu feet long and has a hole
bored one-fourth of its length from
one end, or two and one-half feet from
the end. In the shorter end is an
other hole in which to fasten a hook
for the scales. Put together with a
large bolt, first putting on one five
foot leg, then the lever, the six foot
leg and last tbe other five foot leg.
The holes In the outside legs should he
one size larger than those In the lever
and longer leg lu order that they may
be spread apart at tbe bottom, so that
they will not stand vertical.
When it is desired to weigli or lift
an object pull the lever A B to the po
sition of C D, fasten the article on the
hook and with a rope fastened to the
long end of the lever pull It down and
hook undet the stob, as shown in the
illustration.
Many farmers are so intent on
making money lor the money's sake
that they take no thought of the

the country.
MONEY IN SEED GROWING.
Enormous Increase In Quantity Pro
duced For Commercial Furposes.
According to Joseph A. Arnold oi
the United States department of agri
culture, there is profit in raising high
grade seed. Seed crops of sweet corn,
garden peas aud beans of good quality
are in ever increasing demand, and
the quantity needed yearly has be
come so large that the seedsman is
obliged to have the major portion oi
his stock grown for him by others.
Within the past few years there has
been au enormous Increase in the
quantity of seeds produced for com
mercial purposes. This has been due
In lurge measure to tire development
of seed growing and handling as u
business. There are now nearly a
thousand seed firms doing business In
the United States. One of the hirgest
of these uses buildings with an aggro
gate floor space of more than sixteen
acres. Tills space Is much larger than
was occupied by tbe entire seed trade
of the country only fifty years ago.
The quality ulso has vastly Improved.
One of tile most eucouraging devel
opments in Hie growing of garden veg
etubles Is the increasing recognition ol
the practical importance of using pun
aud uniform Stocks of seed whose vu
rletal characteristics adapt them t»
distinct local conditions aud nmrke.
requirements. Another consideration
is the fact that the growing of seed
crops of these vegetables can be un
dertaken without any radical chang<
in farm practice or material Increase
in farm equipment. These com.l.ion
make tills industry well wortli the at
tputiou of farmers who. (ire located
where soli and climatic conditions an
favorable for the best, development ot
such seeds. -, /
However, the raising of these vege
tables for seed crops la not recom
mended for all circumstances' even
when soil and climate are suitable
The farmer w ho contemplates under
taking seed crop farming will do well
to consider thoroughly the many ele
meuts which enter into profits. Seeds
men are often able lo place contracts
for growing seed at very low prices,
even lower than that at which grain
of tbe species can be sold on tbe mar
ket. Such s condition might be due to
any of several causes, but usually
rests on nn oversupply or a demand
for nn Inferior product. Tbe general
tendency now. however, Is decidedly
in the other direction, and both aeec
dealers and seed growers can do muck
by co-operation to further this tend
ency.
