IN THE SPRING
will be the great test of a lifo and death
3trugi?le on the Western front. In the
"sveryday walks of life, it is the spring
'time that brings ill health. One of the
chief reasons why the run-down man
'Jinds himself in a bad state of health in
March or April, is because he has Bpent
nearly all his hours for the past four or
five months penned up within the walls
of house, factory or ofllce. It is the rea
son for our diminished resistance that
is, lack of out-door life, coupled with
:perhaps over-eating, lack of. good cxer
'ctsc, insufficient sleep, and constipation.
In other words, we keep feeding the
furnace with food but do not tako out
the "clinkers," and our fire does not burn
cirichtly. Always keep the liver active.
Ihere is nothing better for health than
taking an occasional mild laxative, per
haps once a week; such a one as you
can get at any drug store, made up of
May-apple, jalap, aloes, (sugar-coated,
tiny, easily taken ), which has stood the
test of fifty years of approval namely,

Results of Ear Test by "Rag Dol" Method Note the Differences In Germ
ination Some Have Only a Weak Germination While Only One Is a De
al rable Seed Ear.
(Prepared by tho United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
There are no large sections north of
Virginia, Kentucky, Arkansas and
Oklnhomn where tho corn crop mn
tured nnd dried well enough to supply
any large quantity of seed which can
bo planted with safety without car
testing. There Is very little seed of
tho 1010 crop available. As a result
each section must depend lnrgely upon
Its own 1017 crop for seed. Germina
tion tests show that much of the sup
posedly good seed put up last fnll Is
not germinating well. In this crisis
there Is only one way to make sure of
high germlnntlng, adapted seed, which
will guarantee a good stand of vigor
ous growing plants necessary for a
high yield. This way is to ear-test
the available supply In the locality,
and It Is tho opinion of corn special
ists of tho department of agriculture
that all local seed supplies should bo
tested before outside sources are re
sorted to.
Most Practical Tester.
The obviously unfit ears can bo
eliminated by Inspection, but many of
those left, which to nil appearances
are well matured nnd fit for seed, will
be shown by the tester to be weak or
dead, while the remainder can be re
lied upon to give good results when
'planted. There nro many testers In
use, but tho most prnctlcal nnd eco
nomical of them all Is tho "rng doll."
Bleached muslin Is n satisfactory ma
terial for making the doll. Cut Into
SUPPLYING HUMUS TO SOILS
First and Best Method Is Addition of
Stable Manure Plant Green
Crops to Turn Under.
(Prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
There are three general methods of
supplying humus to the soil. The first
and best Is the addition of stable man
ure. When properly managed It adds
large quantities of both plant food nnd
humus. But manure Is not always
available. When such Is the case, the
best thing to do Is to make It avail
able. Raise more forage, keep rnoro
stock, and make more manure. But
this takes time nnd capital, so that
other means are sometimes necessary.
When stable manure Is not to be had,
plant crops for the purpose of turning
them under, thus adding large quanti
ties of humus at comparatively little
cost. Plowing under green crops Is
called grpen manuring. Under certnln
conditions this Is nn excellent practice.
A third method of adding humus is
to grow crops like clover nnd timothy.
These crops nro usually allowed to
occupy the land for two years or more.
During this time their roots thorough
ly penetrate the soil. Old roots decay
iiud new ones grow. When the sod Is
plowed up. more or less vegetable
matter Is turned under. This, with
the mass of roots In the soil, adds uo
small nmount to the supply of humus.
Another advantage from tho cultiva
tion of clovers nnd alfalfa is found In
fact that they are deep-rooted plants,
nnd when their roots decny they leave
channels deep into tho earth, thus aid
ing In the nbsorptlon of rains and let
ting In air to sweeten the soil.
Perennlnl grasses like timothy ure par
ticularly valuable as tho numerous
fine roots leave tho soil In very fine
tilth.
WASTED GRAIN FOR POULTRY
One of Best Reasons for Raising
Chlclceno Is That Fow3 Consume
Peed Otherwise Lost
The grain that Is wasted In many
bam lots and the scrnpa from some
tables would raise a large flock of
fowls, producers of eggs nnd mqnt.
One of tho best reasons for raising
poultry Is that the fowls consume feed
that otherwise would be washed.

strips 10 Inches wide nnd threo
to five feet long. By n line drawn
down the center, nnd cross lines every
four inches, tho doll is divided into
sections, each of which Is to bo filled
with a sis to ton kernel sample from
nn ear to be tested. Select theso ker
nels from different parts,, the ear.
Number tho ears to correspond with
tlje number of the section In which the
kernels are to be placed. Fold the
outer edges of the tester toward the
center so thnt they meet, roll the doll
nbout n corn cob or other-- cylindrical
object and tie. Soak tho doll for a
few hours, drain off tho excess mois
ture, and plnco It where It will not dry
out and will be subjected to a good
growing temperature. At tho end of
about five days tho tests should be
ready for rending. (Tho accompany
ing Illustration shows n tester ready
for reading.) Kars germlnntlng 80
per cent or more should be saved for
sced. This year It Is well to retain
all ears showing a germination of 60
per cent or over, keeping these poorer
germinating cars separate. These
may have to be used If the supply of
seed, germlnntlng 80 per cent or bet
ter Is not sufficient. If used they
should bo planted thicker tbnn the
good seed.
Farmer's Bulletin 048 of the United
States department of agriculture, en
titled "03he Rag Doll Seed Tester,"
describes fully this method of testing
seed corn. '
TO REPLACE FARM MACHINES
Farmer Should Make Use of Improved
Implements to Overcome Serl-
oua Labor Problem.
(Prepared by tho United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Make every possible use of improved
machinery, and Implements. It Is, of
course, poor farm management to in
vest In too much or needless farm
equipment, but It Is always economy
to purchase well selected implements
and machines.
Tho use of tho lnrgest nnd most
Improved fnrni machinery, always de
sirable, Is of special Importance,
Where largo acreages are farmed the
largest machinery Is the most econom
ical. Many of tho lntcst machines em
body Improvements which will often
Justify their purchase where obtainable
from tho standpoint of economy even
though the old outfit Is still serviceable.
When now machines nro bought on
large farms to replncc others still
capable of service, It Is suggested that
tho owucrs afford an ppportunlty to
other farmers who operate on n
smaller scale to purchase this replaced
machinery at a reasonable price. This
plan should benefit both parties.
All worn-out machinery should be
sold for Junk at the first opportunity,
first removing till bolts or other pnrts
which might bo useful In repairing
other equipment. It Is usually, false
economy to attempt to uso a worn
out machine, ns the time wasted with
breakages nnd other delnys and the
extra power roqulred for Its operation
usually moro than offset the saving
effected by continuing It In use.

HOW WAR MIGHT BE ENDED
London Newspaper Sunnsts Trylno
the Effect of Ring of ill Omen
on tho Katscr.
Could tho king of Spnln end tho war
at once?
According-to a French writer this
should bo possible.
In Madrid, In n certain public
squnro, stands a, statue of Our Lndy
of Almudcnn; on a gold chain about
tho neck of tho statue hangs a ring
richly set with diamonds. Nobody
meddles with It. Even thieves lot it
severely alone.
The reason Is plain. For tho ring
Is endowed wlti a terrible power. n
a maiory proves.
Alfonso XII made a present of It to
his wlfo, Queen Mercedes. Queen Mer
cedea died a month later. Then tha
king gave tho bauble to his sister, tho
Infanta Mnrln. A few days afterward
tho Infanta died. Tho ring reverting to
tho royal giver, was next presented to
his lata queen's grandmother, Queen
Christina, who was dead within three'
months.
After that tho monarch kept the
ring In his own Jowel casket. Within
tho year ho wus dead. Ever since then
tho ring hns hung about tho neck of
Our Lndy of AlmUdenn.
Tho French suggestion Is this: Why
shouldn't tho present king of Spain
send tho ring to tho knlser? Tit-Bits.
Got a Laugh, Anyhow.
"Thero Is not going to bo any moro
marrying In Indiana," snld old Judge
Daniels, a crusty old bachelor.
"How Is that?" asked his nephew,
who had Just got married.
"I see the legislature has passed n
law forbidding weak-minded persons to
mnrry, and they nro thb only ones who
ever think of doing such n thlrig."
As old Dnnlols Is rich, both tho
nephew and his young wife laughed
heurtily nt tho wit of tho old man.
