also make it tight, so that no mice or

Selection of Seed Improve-
ment.
Different seleceons of seed of
various classes of grain have been
carefully tested at the Ontario Agri-
cultural College for ,from six to nine
years. The average results show that
even one year's selection of seed grain
has a marked influence on the result-
ing crop. In every instance, the large
plump seed' gave a greater yield of
grain per acre than medium sized,
small plump, shrunken or broken
seed. In the average of the six classes
of grain, the large plump surpassed
the small plump in yield of grain per
acre by 19 per cent., and in the aver-
age of the three classes of grain, the
plump seed gavo a yield over the
shrunken seed of 20 per cent. It should
be understood that equal numbers of
seed were used in this experiment.
The results throughout show that a
large plump seed will produce a larg-
er, more vigorous and more produc-
tive plant than is produced from a
small plump or from a shrunken seed.
Frozen Ground Pipes.
To thew water pipes in frozen
earth, dig off a few inches of dirt and
pour in unslaked lime. Pour over
eome water and cover immediately
with canvas and bricks or stone to
keep out the wind. In the -morning
the ground will be thawed for two
feet.'

Sewing Grain Sacks.
A bodkin or needle suitable for use
with string or twine can he readily
made from one of the openers that
are used to open tin containers. The
wire opened is straightened out and
the ends rounded up with a file or on
the grindstone that they may pass
freely through the open weave of the
sacking. This simple modification is
so easy that a few of the openers can
be put aside until such time as the
bodkins are needed, when one or more
may be straightened up and pointed
for use. This is a simple detail. How-
ever, it is most necessary when sewing
the sacks, and is a hint worth re-
membering for this need.

Sunday Night Chores.
Here is a good plan to relieve the
drudgery of Sunday night chores.
Where there are several men on a
stock farm, divide them into two
groups. Then one group do the work
one Sunday night and the other the
next.
' This arrangement leaves everyone
free for Sunday afternoon and even-
ing every other week. A chance to
get away is appreciated, especially by
the boys and hired men, but Dad likes
to take mother and go visit his friends
without feeling that he has to hurry
back to help milk.
If there is an uneven number of
men on the farm, say, for example,
three, it could be handled this way.
Call the men A, 13 and C. A and B
will work one Sunday, B and C the
next, and C and A the next, ete.
Flickering Lanterns.
It happens frequently that even a
new lantern will begin to flicker after
it has been burning for a short time,
making a noise like the exhanst on a
motor -boat, Some people are very
rnuch alarmed at this and imagine
that the lantern is about to explode.
There is nothing dangerous in the
flickering of a lantern. This is caused
by water hi the oil font, which saalcs
into the wick and prevents a perfect
combustion. To reri•iedy this the oil
font should be emptied and wiped dry I
with a rag or waste on the end of al
wire. The font should then be re-
filled with fresh kerosene, and the
wick replaced with ti new one.
