an 1 trouble necessary to insure the

Good farmers have found that the
best way to secure good seed- is to se-
lect in the field. After your corn is
mature, and before the crop is
vested and shocked, go through your
fielci with a sack or basket and select
goodalooking mature eaccs that are
growing on theifty-tooking stalks.
The character of the stalk upon
which the corn was proanced is of as
much importance as the ear itself.
They should be strong, upright and
leafy, of medium height, and largest
at the 'ground, gradually tapering to
the tassel. The ears should be located
on the stalk at a convenient height
for huskinig. By selecting each sea-

The king looked anxiously a,
around to be sure no one was listen-

he told them of the loss of his sharp-
est tooth. He could remember no-
thing about it, he said, but waking up
in the morning and finding it gone.
"If you can find it for me I shall
give you the freedom of the forest
and a royal talisman to protect you

the king.
Uncle Abner did what he could to
comfort his royal majesty, and prom-
ised to search diligently for the miss-
ing tooth. So the king returned to
his castle greatly encouraged.

Laying Out Land for Fall Tractor Plowing
In laying out a fielcl for fall plow-
ing with a tractor, one should. do
away with all unnecessary traveling,
as it is simply a waste of fuel and
time and wears out the tractor with-
out giving returns. A field should be
marked: off therefore and plowed sys-
tematically.
One of the best ways to plow a
rectangular field is by use of the con-
tinuous furrow. If this plan is fol-
lowed, the first thing to do is to set
stakes along the centre line of the
field. This line of stakes should ex-
tend ten or fifteen feet closer to the
ends of the field than it is to the
sides, which will allow for narrowing
the furrows in turning at the ends.
The first tractor furrow should fol-
low the stakes which have been set
up. When the tractor reaches the
end a the 'stakes, the plows should be
lifted, the outfit swung to the right,
and then back to. the left in a com-
plete circle. At each then the ends
should be rounded as much as eras-
sible so that after a, few rounds have
been plowed the outfit may be swung

Nearly all of the so-called gluten

statement made by Dr. C. E. Same-

bulletin entitled "Wheat, Flour and
Bread," recently issued by the Ex-
perimental Farms Branch at Otta,wa.
The name used, says Dr. Senn:I:era,
