Little Freddie had formed several plans, the execution of which must be postponed till the departure of his mother's guest, so he sat quietly thinking tilings. "Dear little man !" gushed the visitor. "And what is he thinking about so deeply?" "I was wondering if it wasn't time for you to be going," said Freddie. "Hush!" said his mother. Then, turning to her guest: "You mustn't be offended, Mrs. Smith. Children will go blurting out the truth without thinking, but they don't mean anything by it." Then Mrs. Smith recollected that she had only three minutes in which to catch the last car home. AND NOW THEY ARE COOKING TOBACCO TO MAKE IT BETTER For a good many years The American Tobacco Company have been conducting a series of experiments having as their object the improvement of smoking tobaccos. And it is interesting to know that one of the greatest of their discoveries was one of the simplest, and that was, that cooking or toasting tobacco improved it in every way, just as cooking most foods improves them. They took a real Burley tobacco, grown in this country; toasted it as you would toast bread; moistened it to replace the natural moisture driven off by toasting; made it into cigarettes, called them "LUCKY STRIKE, the toasted cigarette," and offered them to the public The result has been the greatest demand ever created for any tobacco product in a similar length of time. The change produced by toasting is not only most wholesome, but the flavor is greatly improved, just as cooking improves meat, for example. Adv. Practical. "Docs he pay his debts?"

TESTING SEED CORN IS STRONGLY URGED

Of Greater Importance to Farmer Than Ever Before. Department of Agriculture Urges That Farmers Do Not Feed Corn That Would Be Valuable If Used for Seeding. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) The germination test of seed corn is more important this year than ever before because good seed corn is scarce, and because the best seed is needed in order to produce the large crop which this nation will need. Even where seed corn has been carefully gathered and stored it should be thoroughly testtd in the spring before planting. The best way to do this is to make a seed corn testing box and test one hundred ears separately. Each kernel that is tested must be perfect, and not injured at the tip when it was removed from the ear. Hand shelling will give much fewer Homemade Seed Germinator A, Closed; B, Open This Type Is Suitable for Small Seed The Box Is Best for Seed Corn. injured tips than machine shelling, and should be used with all seed corn. If three or more kernels out of ten from any one ear fail to grow it will be wise to test every ear in the entire supply of seed. If the 100 tested ears show no poor ones, further testing of the supply is unnecessary. Prevention Is Best. It must not be thought that good results from the germination tests are a sure index of high productivity. Ears slightly damaged by poor preservation, as in damp storage places, may germinate well, but will produce less than if they had got better care. Prevention is better than cure; and in the case of poor storage, according to seedcorn specialists, a cure is impossible. Corn that was selected wisely in the field where it grew, that matured normally and has been preserved properly in mouse and insect proof storages will grow and produce satisfactorily. Because there is such a scarcity of seed corn in some sections of the corn belt, the United States department of agriculture urges that farmers in this and other sections be careful not to feed corn that would be more valuable if used for seed. To the detriment of the 1918 crop some corn suitable for seed is being used to some extent by farmers who have enough seed for themselves. This is especially regrettable because the corn is frequently adapted to conditions and is not a great distance from where it will be sadly needed for spring planting. Get Seed. Best Adapted. Ordinarily seed corn should not be obtained from a distance. The nicestlooking seed may be entirely unadapted and cause the loss of a crop. As there is but little "hold over" the frost-stricken and drought-stricken areas must get their seed from other points. It should be obtained from a locality having a similar climate, and obtained now. If you have a large amount, or but a few bushels of a 90-day corn which nr"r-il 11 1 X. i , wen, iL yuur county agent, your state experiment station and the United States department of agriculture know about it. Prompt co-operation should prove profitable to all and prevent many failures next year. USE CEMENT AND CLAY TILE One Is Just About as Commonly Used as Other and Are Considered of Equal Value. Cement and clay tile are now con sidered of equal value. One Is just about as commouly used as the other. A tile of any kind well made and well laid is supposed to last indefinitely. While tile is laid so that no water stands in the tile, there is no danger of breaking from freezing. You should have a tile expert lay the tile. IMPORTANCE OF GREEN FEED Highly Concentrated Ration Will Ruin Flock Unless Given Sprouted Oats or Some Roots. No matter how much exorcise the chickens hnvo, a highly concentrated ration such as table scraps and mill stuffs will ruin a flock unless they are Klvcn green food. Sprouted oats, clover or alfalfa hay, mangels, cabbage and small potatoes are good greens. WHOLE OATS ARE DANGEROUS Good Feed for Poultry, but Hulls May Cause Impacted Crops and Result Fatally. Oats is a good poultry food. There Is some risk, however, in feeding whole oats. The hulls may cause Impacted crops and death. The best way to feed oats is to crush them, sift the hulls out, and feed in themash.

NITRATE OF SODA BENEFITS

Highly Valuable for Early Crops Where Rapid Maturity Is Desired Helps in Orchards. Dr. William S. Myers says that nitrate of soda is of high value for early crops, where rapid maturity is desirable, such as peas, corn, beets, and cabbage. It is a special help to hay, grain, rye, wheat, timothy, cereals, and orchards, all of which are unable to obtain sufficient nitrogen from the soil just when they need it. It is a great specific in the production of sugar beets, potatoes, cotton and cane. Small fruits, such as blackberries, currants, raspberries, and gooseberries, which need a steady, even growth, are greatly benefited by nitrate of soda, which can be furnished all ready for digestion when the plants require it. BUSINESS METHODS IN NEED Many of Farm Failures Doubtless Due to Lack of Science Farmer Would Produce More. Much emphasis is being placed upon science in farming. We are often told that if we would use more science we would produce more. There is much truth in this. Many of our failures doubtless could be traced to a lack of science that is, lack of classified knowledge. Business methods are indispensable to profitable farming. Without sound business judgment, correct business habits and safe business practice, it wTill be a very difficult matter to use science for profitable farming. VALUE OF GOOD IMPLEMENTS Largely Responsible for Size of Crops and Economy in Production This Season. Good implements will be responsible -very largely for the size of the crops and economy in production this year. Those who have used a dull ax in cutting down trees know how much energy is wasted in using a dull implement and inefficient devices in work. Why waste time and money in trying to farm with inadequate implements? The cost of good implements is not to be compared with their value. Save your labor and that of your teams with efficient implements. SOIL PREPARED FOR MILLET Plow Land When It Is Relatively Moist Throughout and Harrow It Thoroughly. In the preparation of the land for millet, the soil must be made very fine. Plow the land when it is relatively moist throughout, so that it will not turn up '.umpy, and harrow it until thoroughly pulverized. It is well to roll the area after planting to make firm the soil over the seeds, and then to harrow it lightly to form an earth mulch and prevent the escape of moisture. The seed may be sown broadcast ov drilled. USE WOOD INSTEAD OF COAL Opportunity Now Presents Itself for Farmer to Make Use of Wood Lot for Needed Fuel. Farmers with timber on their land have a big opportunity this year. An opportunity to save money by cutting their own wood as a substitute for Fine Stand of Young White O tk. coal and selling a portion of it to relieve a serious situation in the coal market and benefit the country at large. Many farms have wood lots from which wood may be cut without injury to saw timber which may be growing, Scrub timber, properly called "weed" trees, can be cut and instead of talcing away any value from the property actually belter the condition of the timber which may later be cut for lumber. ARRANGING FOR MONEY CROP Define Acreage to Be Planted in Food and Feed Crops Keep Animals for Meat Supply. Before any definite arrangements are made for the money crop plan and define the acreage to be planted in food and feed crops. This should include a large garden lor fresh and canned vegeables; such truck crops as watermelons, cantaloupes, Sor thum or ribbon cane for sirup, pump kins, cushaws, sweet and Irish potatoes. Set an orchard and see that you have plenty of berries. Then Keep ani mals for fresh and cured meats.

SOME REALLY NEED THEM. On Johnny's 'first day of school he was given a registration slip, on which mother was to write his birth record. The following day he came tardy and without the registration slip. His teacher said : "Johnny, you must bring an excuse for being tardy, and don't forget the slip about when you were born." All out of breath, next day, Johnny lushed in, holding out a note from mother. "Teacher," he gasped, "I brought the one about being tardy, but I forgot my excuse for being born." Lonely Eminence.

Win the War hy Preparing the Land Sowing the Seed and Producing Bigger Crops Work in Joint Effort the Soil of the United States and Canada CO-OPERATIVE FARMING TN MAN POWER NECESSARY TO WIN THE BATTLE FOR LIBERTY The Food Controllers of the United States and Canada are asking for greater food production. Scarcely 100,000,000 bushels of wheat are available to be sent to the allies overseas before the crop harvest. Upon tho efforts of the United States and Canada rests the burden of supply. Evtry Available Tillable Acre Must Contribute; Evtry Available Farmar and Farm Hand Must Assist Western Canada has an enormous acreage to be seeded, but man power is short, and an appeal to the United States allies is for more men for seeding operation. Canada's Wheat Production Last Year was 225,000,000 Bushels; the Demand From Canada Alone for 1918 is 400,000,000 Bushals 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. Whenever we find a man we can spare to Canada's fields after ours are 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 April 5th. Wages to competent help, 550.00 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.
