There is a tendency on the part of some people to become alarmed be- causa of the inclination, of the young men of the country' to fail to marry at an early age.

They live up their income, whether it be small or great. The majority pf young men whom I have been acquainted in the last twenty years were living so extravagantly that they dared not contemplate marriage. "A second reason is -that the young women of today in.towns and cities, many of them, fail to fit themselves to be fit cooks and dainty housekeepers. Furthermore, if they are anxious to marry so.that, they may hired help and begin about where their parents have reached after a generation of economy ami hard work.

To avoid the possibility of planting inferior seed corn we believe that it stands in the interest of the farmer to make a test of his seed some time previous to planting, and" thus determine something of its worth.We would suggest that such testing be done in time. It is none too early to begin. and by the time planting is here either the corn would be found satisfactory or else a new lot'could be purchased to take the place ot the faulty seed.

If the kernels are selected to fairly represent the entire seed a definite idea may be obtained as to the prob- -able percentage of germination bj the selection of 100 kernels' and putting these under conditions favorable to growth and note the results. If iUe environment is favorable and ninety ker- neds sprout and ten utterly fail, it will be reasonable to conclude that the percentage of germination is about 9U. Middles Germinate Best. We have called attention to the results in planting that occurred when the midle ears were selected. The Drovers Journal would further like to impress upon farmers something of the results that follow when the kernels from the tips, butts and middles are planted separately.

Some interesting experiments have been conducted at the Iowa experiment station that admirably illustrate the point we desire to make. For instance, 500 kernels were selected from each portion of the ear--butt, tip and middle--making 1,500 in all. These were planted in such a manner that there was abso- Blended for Those Who Know. thoroughly with-the seed you intend to use and stay with it ufttil it drops regularly the nuinbej required in each hill. newer ot all corn 'intended for seed.

professor of animal the Iowa State College of Agriculture to John Macdonell of Ottumwa upon the value of rye as a food for stock. The letter is as follows: "Your favor of February 21 has been referred to me for answer. In reply I may say that rye is not a very good feed for any kind of live stock, especially when.fed alone. -It is certainly not best to feed much rye to brood sows or young and growing animals. Rye can be fed in conjunction with oats corn and other feed to fattening cattle with fairly good results.

For brood BOWK I would recommend that you feed a ration of shorts, oats and corn, about equal parts bv weight. Some oil meal in addition will also prove very satisfactory. If you have a good deal of rye on j-otir" hands and desire to feed it. I would recommend feeding not over ten per cent of the ration rye at any time to hogs. You may feed as much as twenty-five per cent of the ration of rye to cattle, providing bran.

Test Seed Corn Early. We belieTe that if'a canvass is made the country there would be found a very few farmers who make an actual test of the seed corn before planting.

It has robbed childbirth of its terrors for many a young wife. It has preserved her girlish figure and saved her much suffering. It is an external liniment and carries it therefore, absolutely no danger of upsetting the system as drugs taken internally are apt to do.

It is to be rubbed into the abdomen to soften and strengthen the muscles which are to bear the strain. This means much less pain.

For instance, he will find that at the end of 72 haurs 19 per cent of the butt kernels, 84.6 per cent of the- middle kernels and 37.2 per cent of the tips had germinated. Let the reader follow the results for each period to the end of the 144 hours. While the variation at the end has changed somewhat, it is an interesting fact that the middle kernels are still ahead by nearly 11 per cent. The importance of this to the reader will be plain. The majority of farmers understand the fact that the stronger seed is that which germinates -and appears above the ground soonest When a man sees this he at once begins to look forward to a steady growing thritty crop.

On the other hand, when the corn comes up slowly, as is the case with either the butts or the tips, he soon feels the discouragement. Possibly some one will suggest that they do not plant tips and butts to the exclusion of the middles but we feel assured that they can appreciate that when the tips and but kernels are allowed in the seed the average' percentage of quick germination is accordingly decreased. Thus in addition to getting the ears from a favorable locality it is also important that the kernels be carefully selected by discarding all butts and tips before the seed is shelled from the ear.
