Seed, Teets Will Repay Corn Growers ---The' Sawdust Germination Box Method -- Allow Eight or *Zen Days for Qermination—A Brie for. Old Fruit Jaz• Rubbers. (Contributed by Ontarlo Depa'tmeat of Agriculture,Toronto. Without good seed satisfactory crop production is impossible. Good crop' of wheat, oats, and barley are grown each year without a eeed teat before seeding, "Why can we not get the same condition In corn?" Is frequently asked. _Corn is different in many 'ways from the cereals men- tioned, and we cannot expect the high germination common to well ripened before harvest grains. Corn ripens later In the season when damp jays and nights are common, The grain Is attached to an open pithy cob that is frequently slower in drying out than the grain is in,, -ripening. The corn grain 'Contains a large percent- age of oil; and' the grain one are not noted as preservatives lesubjected to many changes. The corn germ la not as well protected by coverings as Is the germ in the other farm grains. The tact that wheat, oats and barley can generally be sown without a test and relied on to germinate has led many farmers to believe that the same holds good for corn, and they hesitate to do the necessary careful work and prove to themselves the dependableness of the seed corn be- fore planting. Seed Tests Will ICepay Corn Grower's. A tow hours devoted to corn test- ing during the slack season In Feb- ruary or March will frequently prove of greater value in providing corn with which to rill the corn crib the next autumn than many days of hard work 10 the field during the season of growth. With the seed carefully tested, and proven capable of pro- ducing roducing strong vigorous plants, the risk is removed from the most Im- portant of all the factors involved in corn -growing. Various methods of making a germination test have been devised, and different measures of sueeess lu operation obtained. The elimination that follows experience has caused a discard of many meth- ods and centered on the usefulness and simplicity of the Sawdust Corn Germination Box. The Sawdust Germination Box, • This method requires a minimum of attention, it Is easy to prepare, and it is sure. The box used as a Container for thaw sawdust cin be of any convenient size, easy to handle or stack up;... Boxes 20 x 80 inches and. •5 Niches deep are very sailefactory aud are large enough to test the seed ears required to plant five or six acres. The seed bed is prepared as follows:,.Pack moist sawdust to the• depth of three inchee in the box (old or dry sawdust, hardwood sawdust is to be desired). Mark off in squares 2 ?.f x 2 IA laches with pencil a piece of cotton sheeting checkerboard fash- ion, number the squares. Lay- this sheet ever the sawdust, Dress down and moisten. Take six grains of corn ,from the ears to be tested, two from near the butt, two from the center and two from near the tip, and place these in each square, num- ber the ear to correspond with the number of the square in which the six grains are placed.. Using .a piece of eaten of this same dimension as the box, lay it over the heed and press down gently, do not disturb the corn in the numbered spaces. Take a eeeond cloth large enough .to , fold both ways or about twice the glee of the box, ley thle larger cloth over the box in ouch a way that it extend@ all 'around, cover the box area with warm, motet sawdust, piling directly on the last applied large cloth, pack the sawdust down well, by treading or stamping with a brick or hoavy block of wood. Tnis layer of maw - dust should be two inches thick when firmed. Fold the extending portions of the cloth over the sawdust form- ing as it were a large pillow or pad. Allow Eight or Ten Days for Results. When this has been done, the box or boxes should be set away In a *table or room where the tempera- ture la always above freezing and generally maintained at 60 to 70 degrees. If mice abound, cover the box with a wire screen. After eight or ton days examine the germination for results, lift off the sawdust pad and then very carefully toll back the cloth that is in direct Contact with the corn. Take note of the germin- ation of the kernels in each, num- bered square, and save or discard according to the strength of germ- ination. Every eta' that ,has given dead,mouldy or weak germinatio g kernls, should be thrown in o ,to the feed bin, and only those allowing great vigor and freedom from mould should be, used. At the end,of tea days the sprout and roots should be at least two Inches long. The box, sawdust and cloth should.not be used a (second time without thorough scalding; this is done to destroy fun- gus spores that may be present. The outside two inches of space should not be used, as it may dry out and check the germination of any seed placed near the edge of the box.— Stevenson, Sec., Dept, of Agricul- ture. Use for Old Fruit Jar Rubbers. Old fruit jar rubbers came in hand- ily last winter when the snow was on the ground. • My boy stepped on an axe and out a big gaeh in his rubber.

But such is the record of regular accomplishment by the Auto -oiled Aermotor during the past eight years in pumping water. Did you ever stop to think how many revolutions the wheel of a windmill makes? If the wheel of an Aermotor should roll along the surface of the agrroou.:ta.atthe same speed that it makes when pumping water it would encircle the ::orti in BO days, or would go four times around ins year. It would travel on e1:.::-.2ge 275 milesper day or about 30 miles per hourfor9 hours each day. An automobile which keeps' up that pace day after day ncedonthorough - oiling at least once a week. Isn't itmarvelous, then, that a windmill has been - made which will go 50 times as long as the best automobile with one oiling? t The Auto -oiled Aermotor after 8 full years of service in evetry part of the world bas, proven its ability to run and give the most reliable service with one oiling a year. The double gears, and all moving parts, are entirely. enclosed and flooded with oil pis the time.
