Seleai ni is tin havis for improvement in yield as well ns iu the other points that will be taken up later. The tlirt step is t ) '.elect the variety that seem.-; to be ib in best in your locality, and use that as the basis of Improvement. The simple.-1 method of breed Ins is to se lect a few cf the be.-:t heads at harvest time t. start with. "A treat dileivik-e will Pe ob-erved at this time. Same heads of oats, for Instance, will con tain three limes as many berries as ethers n t a foot away. The seed from these large heads, following the law of "like produces like," give lar ger yields. The seed from the selected heads is kowii on a plot by itself the next spring. Small i-rain h not like corn i.i thai it. ii narm.illy self feriillzlug.

The produce of tills breeding plot rheuld be thrashed separalely and used for- planting a larger held the next year. The year after that then will hi e;ioiii;h seed for the entire acreage of email grain. Tills l.iethid is fimple and easily Yvcrked out en any farm. The trouble wltli it is that the Inherited differ- riO. XIII ORAIN IS nilEEDINO TLOT. enees i:i the yielding ability of differ ent heads is not fully taken Into ac count. The mily way to tell w hich of two equal Jdzeil heads will yield the most Is by actual test, if the greatest Improvement Is to be made Individual head tests will have to he resorted to. Individual Head Tests. These Individual head tests are car ried on in uiueh the same lnanner.ns the individual ear tests with corn. The heads should l.e carefully selected In the fall. In addition to the rise of lieada, the stiffness of the straw. Its height and freedom from rust and other fungtiH diseases should be noted. The rown In the breeding plot should be four Inches apart and the kernels droppul the same distant e apart In the tow.'The aim throughout should be to have the conditions as nearly like those of the field as possible. The number of rows will depend to a con siderable extent on the time that can be devoted to the work. The larger the number the greater the prolmbll l y of producing something good. Ilf ty rows Is a good number to start villi. vf Increasing the Yields. In the fall the rows should hi enre fully examined. S une will be l.'dged badly. Others will have 'xiorly Idled, short heads. Still others will be badly Misled or smutled. H eard all these nnd harvest nnd weLh the produre of "I'd .viebN a little less than the beard each good row separately.

TIk seed from the Increase bed Is used to plant a bigger Meld and the seed from Ibis for the general Melds or fcr sale.

In addition to the selection for jleld. si'.roi!,- straw and freedom fr ni dls I'ls. there are ; number of other pi Pit;! that sll Kiel be ei nsidered The.-- depend b il eonsld T.lMo extent on the i'.:e to which the grain Is to be put.

To tJe- w V1Q XIV GOOD IliZAD OF II LAUDED WHEAT. teriulue the differences more exactly it is necessary to weigh a uuudred oats or so ou n tine balance such as any do -tor or druggist possesses, theu press out the hulls and weigh them and calculate the per cent. The weight of outs to the measured bushel varies from twenty-live to fifty pounds. The heavy oats are of course the most valuable. Nearly all grain elevatc.rs have n Email device for testing tin weight per bushel. Another point to be considered U the tendency to stool. In localities where the summers are cool and late varie ties can be grown, a tendency to stool considerably is desirable, since a thick staud can lie secured with less seed. Where the summer.? are hot and early varieties must be grown, however, the teudeiu-y to stool to any great extent shnild be discouraged, since stooling uiv.ays delays ripening. Often a hull will be seen partly Inclosing a smaller oat. These small oats are known ns pin 'outs. They lessen the yield, nnd a strain which cintains many of them should be discriminated ugiinst. There are three general types of oats side oats, hulless oats and spreading oats. The bulless varieties do not yield enough to be cf any great value. The side cats, in which the berries are all on one side of the head, are grown in this country t j a limited extent ouly. Most cf the oats grown are of the spreading varieties. There are varie ties of otits of almost every color, wltite. yellow, black and green being tlu'Tnost common. There Is little dif ference In yield that can bo ascribed to c-ib r. If they are grown In n com munity ia large enough quautlties so that they can be shipped In carload lots the sidling price will not vary much. Selecting Wheat and Bsrley Heads. In sele.ting wheat heads those that do not shell too readily ithould be given the preference, since much wheut Is lost by shelling during harvest. The grains should lie plump, smooth and briedit. The seed coat should Ik? tough and not cracked. Where the bran la brittle and cracks easily It is dilHcuit to separate It from the flour. The kernels should be hard. Hard wheat makes better Hour owing to the great er percentage of gluten, and millers will pay mure for it. Beardless w heat Is nun easily handled, but it does not yield as well as the bearded varieties. In barley the hull adheres t the kernel In thrashing. The grains should bo bright, as the quality of brewing barley depends largely upon the color. The Ill's! barley for brewing purposes is that which contains the most starch. This tan be determined by cutting through the grain and noting the per cenni;e of standi to homy parts. For feeding purposes a smaller percentage of starch 1 desired. Beardless barley h a little less hardy All About a Pic. Goff. the famous London ba-rlsbT, has a humor peculiarly hh own.

An Int. roi t ng font ure of teleiraph c.a' craiuii I ; t hut certain letters are n'arly al-.vnys fie stumbling block. . The most frequeni are "C" nnd "Y" that Is, the cede .signals used for these I letters.' When a sender begins to be I "conscious'' about so common a letter; .13 "C," his case soon becomes a hope- let;. one. Another form of cramp at tacks the receiver of the message. It takes the form of Inability to write fast enough to take down n mosa?o quickly transmitted. This Is easily un derstood when It Is renumbered that a receiver often has to write c ontinuously to code dictation, so to speak, for hours at a time. The strain Is enor ons, and leads fairly commonly to what 1b practically a form of nervous break down. Reunited After Many Years. Report says that Gen. Sickles, vet eran of the civil war, and his wife are TPiinlted alter 27 years of separation. The story Is that Mrs. Sickles' mother, who was an Invalid, wished her to re turn to Spain after her marriage and reside with her. Mrs. Sickles thought she should return to her mother and remain with her till she died. Mr. Sickles did not agree with her nnd ne refused to return to Spain to live. The roupln separated, the wife returning to her mother, who has recently died. Now In their old age the ceuplo are reunited. f Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y V C3BBZ t Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y f (OP CHEAPER THAN DIRT Somebody -will get a great big bargain in the -piano which we have on exhibition at our store.
