TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO Now that the North-Western has given us such an excellent new depot, why would it not be the proper thing for the village to get busy and build a new city hall in place of Noah's ark? 1 - ' \ N.

T. Robbtns. Live Stock CxtenctWk Sp«- claltst, University of Illlnola.-- 'A'Nl.' Sarvlc*. Prlze-wianing live stock fashions may come and go like feminine styles, but producers who strive to obtain the maximum returns from, their meat animals should select * their breeding stock more along utility lines. Only farmers who raise the type and size of animals demanded by con sumers can exfiect to sell their llvr stock for jhe highest prices, regardless of the latest mode "at the live stock shows. • 1 At present many cattle raisers are lading that the fashionable little bulls beget calves that grow too slowly. When ready for market these yearlings wil! weigh only S<*) pounds, while . 9omewhat coarser stock will tip th® scales at half a ton. It i* the larger yearlings that are making the most money because they more .nearly fit th« needs and desires of the market; Larger sires will aid man^ oattlemen la producing the larjjer, more desir able yearlings." V Likewise, early lamb producers are coming to realize that they need rams of constderableTVze, if thry are to get the largest possible market returns. For this reason, many farmers are changing to the larger breeds. What the sheep man wants is a lamb that will grow fast enough to wel^h 70 to 80 pounds at four months of age, and lambs from small parents will not do it. , * .. Hog producers, however, have a.different problem. Some of the present breeding stock has such great size that the pigs are still gangling and thin at weights which the market desires. The utility standard in- this case is a pig that will grow rapidly and yet become fat at around 200 pounds. For this purpose, boars weighing considerably less than 1,000 pounds are more likely to fit the needs.of most producers, rather than* the excessively huge sires seen at fairs and live «tock expositions. Some breads of live stock need more stretch while others need more com- .pactness to supply sires for most farm herds and flocks. Thns the breeder who develops his stock along utility standards will render a practical service for the live stock Industry. . Selection of Seed Corn Demands Close Attention The cheapest and surest way to increase corn yield is by the use of bet ter seed, and the ^>e«t way to procure better seed, other than buying it from a seed specialist. Is to select one's own seed corn from one's best field. "* Ears should be selected from stalk* that are of average height, or bear pars at a height convenient for shuck ing. The ears that hang downward are most desirable since these more readily shed water and are not so easily damaged by bad weather. Ears and stalks that have been damaged by Insects an<f disease should not be selected; disease-free seed may be resistant. The main thing to bear, in mind is the selection of ears from the best producing plants grown under average conditions. The ears should be well filled out with grain of uniform size. If ample time is taken for the purpose and the selection of seed made with due care with the seed properly dried and kept until planting time, bet ter returns from succeeding corn crops may be expected by the farmer. Be cause of the drouth very few farmers will raise good seed corn-this year and therefore if they ha\;e some good old corn left over they should take good care of It.--Missouri Farmer. , Rodents Like Jap Beetle In their search for effective control measures for the Japanese beetle, entomologists of the Department of Ag riculture have discovered that much help maiy be expected from the small rodents, such as moles, mice an3 skunks, which are natural eneraies of the .bugs. They claim that Japanese beetle grubs are choice tidbits for these small animals, although the an! mals themselves are considered nui sances. The useful part they play "in man's struggle against this Insect pest of lawns, gardens and orchards, how ever, may give them a new lease on life. Agricultural Hints Thinning apples has proved ? profitable during dry seasons. Page Tlirt# WILLIAM M.
