Do not underestimate the value of good seed. Since one euenel ef corn will plant from 6 to 12 acres of land which will produce from 300 to 800 bushels of grain, 00 10 apparent that the &sweeter of the seed planted is of the greatest importance. You ere warea.nted it spending all the time and trouble necessary to insure the best possible seed. Good farmers 'have found that the beat way to secure good seedr is to se- lect in the field. After your corn is mature, and before the crop is her- ye,stee and shocked, go through your field with a sack or basket are select etoodeeelaing raiteure eters that are growing on thrifty -looking stalks. The character of the .stalk upon which the ,ciern wits produced is of as much importance as the ear itself. They slimed be strong, upright and leafy, of media= height, and 'largest at the greend, gradually tapering to the tassel. The ears tehould be located on the stalk at a convenient height for husking. By selecting each sea- son stalks with ears- at this height, it is p•oesible gradually to develop a strain oe corn that be very uni- form in this respect. • I find it best to select ears that have a seank of medium, length and diameter, ante which bang down suffi- ciently to prevent water from enter- ing the tip. Make sure that the stalk selected grew miner average field con- ditione—that te, where the stand was illartrial and where there were no epe- eist] advantages tif moisture and plant food. The ear selected shored be good beceuse of the vigorous breeding of the parent plant rather teen from any advantage it may have had over other plants hi the way of location. Do not select ears that are too large or too immature. Average -size enrs are most desirable for seece &keg, sm..' metrically developed ears, with straight even rows end well -dented keenels, will give the best results, in, good corn growing regions. Seed ears should be a littl•e rougher than the average, because ol the tendency dor a variety gra.deaNy to become • sinoother eind the kernels shallower. Remember, in selecting seed corn, that the ability of the corn to grow will depend largely upon the centli.! Lions under which it matured. If for any reason the ear failed to materel, properly, the vitality of the seed ds very likely to be deficiemt, and a poor stand of cern limy result. A sound, firm condition of the ear and bright i gloesy grains are the best indications of proper maturity. If elle ear Is not firm, if the kernels are lucking in lustre, or if lthe grains are more OT les•s eistolored at the tip end, do not select it for seed. Theee signs indi- cate poor vitality. Ears of this kind will not yield as ivell .3.3 those that ere t well matured. It is a goodidea' to ,select two 02' i three times as many ears as wiN be needed, for planting. It may be ad- 't visaible to discard many of the field- e seleeted ears when they are more carefully examined. If an abundance of seed is selected, c,nly the best need i be used. Ade)alde at.

When tee corn Is thoroughly dry, it ,ean be 'trio:eke- red to a more ,00neenieut Place for winter storage. If for any reason you are unable to select your corn from the standing stalk before harvest, the next best time is when the ,crop is husked'. A. box for seed ears ean be atbaehed to the secle of the wagon. In this way they can be kept separated from the other eorn. ' Even though you select your seed eorn in the field, and store It carefully, do not fail to make a germination test before plantimg the meet spring, if you want the ,best results. Corn pro- perly selected end ,steeedwill prob- ably grow, but it doesn't pay to take chances. The germination test be- fore planting will insure a good stand. Bordeaux Mixture. The standard Bordeaux mixture which is commonly used on grapes, potatoes and other plants for the con- trol of fungus diseases, is made of four pounds of copper sulphate, four pounds of stone lime and fifty gel - lone of water. In nutleing 533310311 quantities the Brae sheet& be slaked with hot water and diluted to about twenty .gallons. The copper sulphate shouldbe dissolved in hot water and .allso diluted to twenty galena Theee two dilutions ehoube be poured together into a separate container and enough wake added to make up tho fifty gallons. In making larger quantities fifty pounds of coppee sulphate may he put In a burlap sack and suspended, in twenty-five gallons of water. When this is all ease:eyed it will make two pounds of 'peppier suanifhate to one pound ef the solution. Therefore if you wish to 'make a fifty -gallon batch of Bordeaux, two gallons of the solu- tion will give you enough copper sul- phate for that bate. There is one precaution necessary in making this stock solution +and that is. the copper selpeate should not nine in 'contact weth iron, '31ai1s, hooks, etc., as its chemical action vil1 ruin them. In handling copper sulphate in this con- centrated form use .a wooden pail in- stead of a galvanized one. Lime may 'also be made in stock quantities. Fifty peentes or more may be slaeed, in a tub or other receptacle. Agitate well when Making to prevent burning and to make lime firtn and smooth 'rafter it hae been slaked. This ehould be kept covered with water to prevent clawing out. To get a fairly accurate measure of the quantity of ame to use, 'slake four pounds in a pail and mark on the pail the height to which the lime comes, This pail will then be a measure for your lime. It is better to um too meth lime than not enough. The great precaution necessary foe making good Bordeaux is to have both he lime and capper sulphate diletee before mixing. If either of them are n concentrated form and mixed, the Bordeaux mixture win be coarse and vill settle quickly. Poorly made Bet.- 'eaux wild curdle somewhet like sour nilk. As the Bordeaux is a rnecheni- cal mixture ane not a chemical one t is very essential that it be kept horoughly agiteted while sprnying.

A big sign stood on the edge of 1100 pool stating 'clearly: "King's pool. trespassing for- bidden snider penalty of fine and im- prisenment." But Oliver decided to take one plunge and come right out. Down, down, down, he dived, then gave a gargle of pain. Something eed stuck in his trunk. He rose to the eurfece and ea -tamed crossly out on the benk. Then lie gave a squeal es eurprise.
