Seed testa sufficiently accuraio to
answer all practical purposes can be
mado by a beginner with vory little
practice, rfay spectalata or the Ulited
State Department of Agriculture.
Tho younger members of the home
circle ahould find Uch work- not only
comparatively easy but vory Interest
lug. Testing of locally grown seed
in kided by tho possesion of a cor
rectly named set of seeds of crops
and of woods prevailing in tho vloln-
ky . .
Only such apparatus in needed in
making practical seed tests as ena
bles one to use a wojlghed quantity
of seed from the sairiptf, 'to separate1
the pure 'seed from the foreign seeds
atid ether Impurities, to- distinguish
the character of the foreign seeds,
and to make the germination test.
Only by using a weighed quantity
of seed can one determine the rela
tive quantities of pure" and mpure
seeds in the sample. This requires a
balance sufficiently sensitive to. he
moved byu small weight, such aj
that of a ftfw clover seed. Dut a
.balance of this kind, designed to rest
ou thu edge of a knife blade, caw oe
made from two lead pencils, two card
board disks, two pieces of wire, some
rubber bauds, a darning needle, a
common brass pin and (wo bits of
board, The only equipment needed
consists of a few UP shots, flattened,
to be used as weights. With this
balance, If the pure seed from a sam
ple balances ten shots and the Impur
Ites balance one shot, the sample Is
cihown to he 90 per cent pure. Home
shots may be cut Into halves, quar
ters, olihti. titid sixteenths for frac
tional weights.
Such other apparatus as Is desira
ble can he made or bought nt small
cost, A pair of forceps for picking
upjtho shots and for separating seeds
can bo made of two thin strips of
hickory, or a piece of spring wire
bent Into U-shitpo and having the
points flattened. A magnifying glass
Is needed, hut thu common reading
glass to be found In many homes or
that can bo bought at it cost of f 1 or
2 serves the purpose well. Seed
can be best examined over while pa
per and, to prevent loss of seed, u
pl'r tray Is desirable.
There are many simple device for
making germluntloii tests. For for
ago crops and cereal heeds, one of thu
best consists of two dinner plaleu
ahd two piece of blotting paper or
cjoth. One nf the blotter) Is placed
on a plate and the seed scattered over
II. 'Ihe.lt is covered with the other
blotter nud thu other plate Inverted

If you get rich the chances are you will first

There are plenty of investment for the man
