(Prepared by the United States Department of Arriculture.) If many of the swamps and marsh lands which are now occupied by muskrats are reclaimed for agricultural purposes it may bo necessary to start
"muskrat farming" in order to supply the demand for muskrat fur, is the opinion of biologists of the United States department of agriculture. For the present, however, a sufilcient number of muskrats to meet demands for their fur aro trapped from marshes and swamps that are, for the most part, unprotected, millions of skins being taken each year. So long as the natural breeding places remain undisturbed and reasonable closed seasons aro maintained, tho biologist say, there is little likelihood of tho numbers of the animals being depleted. This is because these animals multiply much more rapidly than most other fur bearers. With adequate protection in the breeding season and with tho pres
ent habitat available, from ten to twelve million pelts can be taken in
North America annually without deple
tion of tho supply. Tho practicability of muskrat farm
ing already has boon demonstrated.
The animals are easily kept, become
very tamo, and breed woll In narrow
quarters. Under present economic con
ditions, however; keeping muskrats on
nrosorvos is more practicable than
keeping them in restricted quarters. Tho former plan is in remunerative
operation in the Chesapeake Bay re
gion. In Dorchester county, Md., marsh
land formerly considered almost use
less, and now used as muskrat pro-
serves, is worth more, measured b
actual income, than cultivated lands in the same vioinitw Tho owner of

against these losses regardless of the weather conditions. The undersized, shriveled, irregular, and cracked beans do not germinate well and their removal will help to secure a uniform stand. No chances should be taken with the 1918 crop. Only the very best seed available should be used. Test Germination. Germination tests should be made to determine what percentage of the seed will grow. Follow the method commonly employed for testing the germination of corn. The seeds may be
laid hotwooh moist blotters or folds of
cloth placed in a shallow dish, cov
ered with a plate and kept In a warm
room ; or they may be planted in sand or soil. If the germination is poor, the fact must be taken into account when deciding upon the rate of planting, in order to insure a good stand. It is very Important that seed be tested this year, since early frosts in tho fall of 1917 prevented the crop from maturing properly in some of the principal bean-growing sections of the country. A failure to do so may result in a
poor stand and much reduced yield.

(Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) Owing to the large amount of soft corn that was harvested last fall, special care should be given to prevent it from heating in the crib. Corn that has already been cribbed without sortiug should be worked .er during weather unfit for husking. This Is especially true if stored in large fcribs without special ventilation. Corn in large, broad cribs freezes during the winter months and while frozen appears to be dry. Investigations, however, have shown that corn in such cribs dries out little until the weather begins to warm up in the spring. With
the excessive moisture in the soft, frosted, and immature corn it is practically certain that there will be further spoilage and heating of the soft corn as the weather warms up. The salting of ear corn in cribs will retard and in many cases prevent heating. The salt acts not only as a preservative but aids in drawing the water from the corn, which then evaporates if the corn is stored in well-vent tinted cribs so that the air can circulate freely through it. The United States has carried on no special experiments with salted corn, but the quantity of salt recommended ranges from one to two barrels per 1,000 bushels of corn. This condition, however, will not apply to shelled corn stored in elevator bins where a free circulation of air through the corn is impossible. Shelled corn of high moisture content should be artificially dried.

Win the War by Preparing the Land Sowing the Seed and Producing Bigger Crops Work in Joint Effort the Soil of the United States and Canada Ct-OrERATIYE FARMING IN MAN POWER NBCU8ART TO WIN THE BATTLE FOR LIBERTY The Food Controllers of the United States and Canada arc asking for greater food production. Scarcely 100,000,000 bushels of wheat arc available to be sent to the allies overseas before the crop harvest Upon the efforts of the United States and Canada rests the burden of supply. Every Available Tlllablt Acrt Musi Contributt; Evtry Available Farmir and Farm Hand Must Assiit Western Canada has an enormous acreage tabe seeded, but man power is short, and an appeal to the United States allies is for more men for seeding operation. Canada's Wheat Produotion Last Ysar was 225,000,000 Bushels; the Demand From Canada Alont for 1918 Is 400,000,000 Bushels To secure this she must have assistance. She has the land but needs the men. The Government of the United States wants every man who can effectively help, to do farm work this year. It wants the land in the United States developed first of course; but it also wants to help Canada. When
ever we find a man we can spare to Canada s fields after ours arc supplied, we want to direct him there. Apply to our Employment Service, and we will tell you where you can best serve the combined interests. Western Canada's help will be required not later than Arjril5th. Wages to competent help, 50.00 a month and up, board and lodging. Those who respond to this appeal will get a warm welcome, good wages, good board and find comfortable homes.

The Maryland and New York state
councils of defense have boon endeav
oring to assist in solving the farm
labor problem and increasing the pro
duction of crops in those states by
making a limited number of tractors
available to farmers for use In com
munities where the conditions render
ed this practicable. Last spring the
New York state council of defense purchased a number of tractors to be
used in plowing and preparing land for
crops. Those outfits were made avail
able to responsible organizations in
the nrlnclnal agricultural counties
with the understanding that a consid
erably increased acreage of land would be planted to crops over the amount normally planted. Last fall the state
Tractor at Work. council of defense of Maryland bought a small number of tractors for a similar purpose. - The results thus far have proven so satisfactory that plans are under way to continue the use of the tractors in the preparation of land for spring crops. In addition to meeting an emergency the use of the tractors has resulted in the purchase of a number of them by individual farmers and groups of farmers.

Gillman had quit work without giving notice and Schmitt would not pay him until another man had been employed to take his place. "What is a dirty grin?" asked Val F. Nolan, prosecuting attorney. "It's a nasty grin." "What's a nasty grin?" "Aw, it's a grin that well, you know it's a sort of grin that aw, well, I didn't take a photograph of it." Schmitt was fined $5 and costs.
