A seed testing laboratory for the benefit of Missouri farmers and seed- men is being operated at the the Agri- cultural College at Columbia, in cooperation with the U. S. Depart- ment of Agriculture. The farmers of | Missouri are wasting annually thou- {sands of dollars in buying seeds of poor quality and a large share of this could be saved by having all seeds tested at the laboratory, This work is done free of charge and it is to the advantage of every farmer to take ad- vantage of this opportunity. Seeds should be sent in care of the Seed Testing Laboratory Columbia, |Mo. For small seeds like grasses and clovers a tablespoonful is suffi- cient. For large seeds such as wheat oats, etc., three or four tablespoonsful | should be submitted. These samples pany them stating whether a purity test is wanted or whether the seed is to be tested for both purity and germination. Where a purity test is desired, a re- port can be returned within a week. Where a germination test is desired, it takes a few days longer. The number of pernicious weeds that are being distributed over the state in the various kinds of grasses clovers and other seeds are many of them dangerous pests and it is to the interest of every man to know exactly what he is sowing. He should also know the germinating qualities of the seeds he uses. This information is at the disposal of the farmers of Mis- souri, with no cost to them. It is frequently possible to secure samples of seeds from the various sources, have them tested, and ther buy on the results of the tests. M. F.

The bride was dressed in a_beauti- ‘ful suit of messaline satin, with bead | ‘and lace trimming, and the groom| | wore the conventional black. | Many useful presents were received from the invited guests. About 30 were present to witness the cere- mony. The wedding cake was cut by the bride and passed around. Ernest Gough got the ring, Roy Lathum the dime, and the darning needle was left on the plate. The bride is an amiable and ac- complished young lady and youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Gerkin, and the groom is the son of} Geo.

It happened that. the farms on which this result was! obtained were in the part of the state which suffered most from the drouth. In these places it is stated that the | crops on the particular farms are the | best that have been harvested in from; three to eleven years. One farmer in! Boone county started in tnree years | ago. His farm was in such poor con-/| dition that some of the first crops | were not worth harvesting. This year) his corn is averaging a little more, than 40 bushels to the acre, and his, wheat, of which there were 40 acres, | averaged 22. bushels. Almost all of! his wheat has been sold at $1.50 a! bushel for seed. Furthermore, he has | now in the corn an undergrowth ot | rape and cowpeas which will fatten | lambs and make from §6 to $10 clear! profit extra from each acre. These. things did not ‘just happen,” ! but came about as a result of an ear- nest attempt by the Farm Manage | ment Department of the University | of Missourt to improve farm business coi ditions. Farmers who were hav-, ing troubles applied to the depart: | ment for suggestions and help tn) planning their crops Prof. D. H. Doane, who {s at the head of the de-| partment, has been actively in this work for a number of years, and has tried out the things which are taught | in the College of Agriculture. | “Qne of our co-operators,” said Mr. | Doane, “came to me a year ago for | advice. He had gone in debt for a) farm of 500 acres, and had been farm: | ing it for two years. When he start: | ed he was so poor that he had to bor- | row 25 cents to subscribe for a paper. | We have not had time, in one season, to apply the use of crop rotations and systematic soil improvement, and he has not had the capital for heavy in- vestment in better equipment. “However, we obtained good seed. The corn was tested. The wheat was treated for smut. The seed-bed was worked into much better condition than he had been accustomed to. “The result is, that this year with very little extra expense but a good deal more care, the farm has paid more than it did both the preceding years.” Similar cases are in many places over the state where the Farm Man- agement Department has pointed out the way. One man at Moberly had failed for three successive years. Professor Doane urected the use ot better seed, more working of the su. and various modifications of the sys- tem. This year, after two years of management by college directions, the farm is beginning to pay debts. A striking instance of the effect of good management was shown in Jas- per county. The place was in a cold gray soil and had been known for twenty years as an unproductive farm. The directions called for drain- ing by means of dead furrows. The soil must not be worked or tamped | when wet. And it was found neces- | sary to apply some lime to remove sourness. The result is that this year the corn and other crops are good— the first worth having in twenty years —and there is on the place about the, only stand of spring-sown clover in, the state. “Not a single one of the farmers | we are assisting,” said Professor | Doane, “has sacrificed a single head | of stock on account of lack of feed this season. On the other hand, they | have bought stock at less than half price.” The system advised by the ollege is such that even in a dry year, as this has been, there will be an abundance of good @eds. Land should not lie idle any longer | tnan is absolutely necessary, is the new teaching, and many so-called “catch crops” can be obtained when the land would otherwise grow up to weeds. For exemple, as soon as oats are off the ground can be disked and sown to cowpeas. These will give a large crop of excellent feed, will im- prove the soil, and will keep the weeds off. When corn land would be doing nothing over winter it can be seeded to rye and good pasturage ob- tained between crops. Cowpeas and rape sown in corn at the last cultiva- tion will make $6 to $10 profit which would be entirely overlooked. Problems of fertilizers are now creating great interest. The Farm Management Department, by studying the soil and the crops grown on it, gives suggestions concerning its needs. Sometimes lime is called for; sometimes phosphate or potash is/ necessary. The first thing, however, is always to haul out the manure and | raise leguminous crops. These and hundreds of other farm problems are presented for solution. Some of the farms which are show- ing results are selected as “demon- stration farms.” Meetings have been | held at these recently at Columbia, Moberly and Lamonte, with an attend- { i when a tested remedy is offered them? ‘Doan’s Kidney Pills is the remedy to use, because it gives to the kidneys the help they need to perform their work.

Doctors had said her frightful cough was was a ‘‘con- sumption” cough and could do little to help her. After many remedies failed, her aunt urged her to take Dr. King’s New Discovery. ‘‘I have been using it for some time,’’ she wrote, “and the awful cough has almost gone. It also saved my little boy when taken with a severe bronchial trouble.’’ This matchless medicine has no equal for throat and lung troubles. Price 50c and $1.00. Trial bottle free. Guaranteed by F.

Suit to put the Butler Water, Light and Power Company of Butler, Mo., into the hands of receivers or to allow the trustee, named in a deed of trust given by the company, to, take charge of and operate the company’s plant, was filed in the United States Circuit Court at Kansas City Saturday. The Farmers Loan and Trust Company of New York is the petitioner, and is also the trustee in the deed of trust which was given to secure an issue of $70,000 bonds in July, 1892. In asking for the powers of a re- ceiver in the case the petitioner says that the conditions are such that fore- closure under the terms of the deed of trust is not desirable. The fran- chise of the Butler company has ex- pired, the subsequent contract with the city under which the plant was operated later has also expired, and since January 1 Butler has paid noth- ing for water, though it has continued to use it, the petition recites.
