The seed trade has voluntarily agreed
to label all field seeds with the per-
centage of pure seed that will grow,
giving the purchaser exact Information
as to quality. The United States Depart-
ment of Agriculture urges all farmers
to buy their seeds only from dealer*
who comply with this agreement and
npt to run the risk of buying high-
priced, unlabeled seed that will not
give a stand in the field.
Make Germination Test.
Get your seed early and make a ger-
mination test of It before sowing.
Count out 100 seeds ; put them between
folds of moist paper or cloth between
two dinner plates and keep at room
temperature for four days; then count
the sprouted seeds. If U5 seeds sprout
the seed is good; if only a small purt
of them sprout the seed is either poor
or the test was not properly made.
If in doubt as to the value of the seed

tural experiment station or to the Seed

and much of the seed is of poorer qual-
ity than in normal years. Therefore,
every farmer before sowing should
know what proportion of the seed he
buys cannot be expected to grow. If
one lot contains 96 per cent of seed
that will grow and another lot con-,
tains 64 per cent of seed that will grow
it will take three bushels of the 64 per
cent seed to sow the same number of
acres that two bushels of the 06 per
cent will sow.
This Is important from the stand-
point of cost alone when red clov r
seed Is selling for $20 or more per
bushel. It is much more necessary,
however, to know the quality of seed
In order that the rate of seeding may
be proportional to the quullty, so that
enough live seed will be sowed to in- '
sure a stand in the field. First know
how much of the seed may grow and
then sow accordingly.
Mrs. Etta Dorion, of Ogdensburg, Wis., says:
"I suffered from female troubles which caused piercing pains
like a knife through my back and side. I dually lost all my
strength so I had to go to bed. The doctor advised an operation
but I would not listen to it. I thought of what I had read about
Lydia E. I'inkham's Vegetable Compound and tried it. The first
bottle brought great relief and six bottles have entirely cured me.
All women who have female trouble of any kind should try
Lydia E. I'inkham's Vegetablo Compound."
How Mrs. Boyd Avoided an Operation.
Canton, Ohio.—"I suffered from a female trouble which
caused me much suffering, and two doctors decided that
I would have to go through an operation before I could
' get well.
"My mother, who had been helped by Lydia E. Pink- j
ham's Vegetable Compound, advised me "to try it be-
fore submitting to an operation. It relieved me from
my troubles so I can do my house work without any
difficulty. I advise any woman who is afflicted withj
female troubles to give Lydia E. Pinkham's Veg<
table Compound a trial and it will do as much
for them."—Mrs. Haiiie 13oyd, 1421 Dth St.,

that when chickens are used In place

Not Altogether Deficient.
For dinner fried chicken had been
the special dish, the leftovers set aside
for the evening meal. Some one had
carelessly left the door of the refriger-
ator open, whereupon the cat proceed-
ed to help itself to the tempting mor-
sel. When mother discovered this she
lifted the cat out with her foot, not
any too gently. Ralph exclaimed: "(111,

CLEAN SEED BEFORE SOWING.
Cleaning and grading the small
grains for spring sowing should be
done before the spring rush in pre-
paring the land and sowing the seed.
Wheat, oats, barley, and flax can be
Improved for seeding by running the
seed through the fanning mill at least j
once. The cleaned grain will run
through the drill or other seeding ma-
chinery more evenly nnd thus Insure
a more uniform stand than can be ob-
tained from uncleaned grain.
Cleaning grain removes most of the
weak and diseased kernels, many of
which may not groyr at all, or If they
do grow are likely to produce small,
weak plants. Uniformly large, plump
kernels germinate more evenly, pro-
duce stronger plants, nnd yield more
than ungraded grain containing small,
shrunken kernels.
Thorough cleaning also removes n j
large part of the weed seeds the grain
contains. The preparation of the land I
for seeding destroys many seeds that '
are in the ground and thus helps to
keep weeds in check, but the valne
of this work Is largely lost if foul seed
is sown.
22 Million Families

If each FAMILY saved one cup of wheat flour it would amount to
5,500,000 pounds, or more than 28,000 barrels. If this saving was made
three times a week, it would amount to 658,000,000 pounds, or 4,377,000
barrels in a year.
You can do your share in effecting this saving and really help to win
the war by omitting white bread from one meal today and bakmg in its
place muffins or corn bread made according to this recipe:
Corn Meal Muffins
\ cup corn meal

2 tablespoons sugar
cups flour No eggs

Sift dry ingredients together into bowl; add milk and melted
