WATCH YOUR SEED CORN, Oonstent Caro Required to Improve It by Soleotierlf and Breeding, r' xt is not. enough to start with goo+ seed cart. The strain meat not eniy be malntatned; it should be unproved by seleotien and breeding, says the Farm, and Ranch. 'i a best way to do this is to select a suitable piece or land in a favorable part of the fame Where pollen from other. voricties- of corn cannot easily be parried by the wind and plant a breeding plat, Suppose you have ten ears of corn for seed. Thio should be the best that can be obtained. Prepare the land well and lay oft ten rows,. Take enough from each ear to plant a row in the seed plat. Take the best ker- nels from the center of the ear to plant and keep the remainder of the seed for planting the general crop. Number the rows from 1 to 10. Give the seed plat good cultivation, See that it does not suffer for work. Take careful notes upon the seasons, the time and manner of planting and cultivation. when first tassels appear, when since are dead, when in roasting ear and finally when mature. These facts will be needed when you begin your seed plat next year and all suc- ceeding years. Notice the plants carefully when tas- seling to see that barren plants are. promptly removed. This is very im- portant. because you cannot afford to have the pollen from these barren' plants propagate their kind. Just before the tassels unfold from the sheath detassel one-half of every row. For instance, suppose the direc- tion of the rows are north and south, then detassel the south end of row No. 1 and the north end of row No. 2, mutat O fix* rteadettere MB* e tteutatteue ict3aiz x t • It extxt:aaKtartateeemana�..`ynnee,temeertelatementrenenreaton Z tareeeX seatee:ixvEzsrf1u71x net ezreeelm eeeet xxsssn lt� gar angeztatten ter neeedrxerterolertetereumamt XtX tU1 t,&k: e 1' .tetlerrt21:'tt-tTf7tl-r`tt ,.. ` w STfiVt tU' e.. ,, a . guimalI1lrtunn.sl:. .T.....,,,,„ ustieoe tghtea tTtri, 9te5y,», t»ro+c4 [ bYTtt til l? _tees •OaF`,,, f`rl ena5bvco— ...

SECTION OF GOOD MOIL FOR DRYINO`BEED CORN. "From bulletin 'United States department of agriculture.] the south end of No. 3 and the north end of No. 4. Continue thus until the tassels are removed from one-half of each row. This will make it probable that the silks (pistils) on one half o! each row will receive enough pollen to become self fertile and the other half receive its pollen from the ad- joining row which has not been detas- seled and become cross fertilized. In general close inbreeding Is not desirable, but it may be expedient for a year or two to fix the type. At any event, one-half of the plants sbould have a chance to receive the pollen from their own tassels. When the corn has matured fully and before gathertug time go over the breeding plat and make a critical ex- amination of the entire plants—stalk, blades and ear. Note the size and height of plants, the character of growth, the vigor, earliness and matu- rity, size, shape and general maturity, of the entire plant and size, shape and general appearance of the ears. If you wait until gathering time you cannot determine the character of the entire plant.' Mark the desirable plants by tying a red string around the ear. When ready, to gather, take the ears and note the row from which they are taken. Husk the ears, and from the number take the best for the seed plat the follow- ing year. The general crop may lee planted from the remaining ears. Continue this careful method of seed breeding several years, and you will have a strain of corn that is desirable. Your neighbors will probably be sur- prised,at your increase of yield and be willing to pay you a liberal price for excellent seed corn. 1 Poultry Pickings. To keep a hen in good health she needs nearly seven times more fresh air in propprtion to her size than does the horse. Fowls throw off much of the waste of the body through the lungs. As they do not sweat in the sense that other animals do. they breathe when' heated several times faster than sweat- ing animals. Most people think a pond or creek is necessary for the successful raising of geese, but this is not absolutely neces- nary, though it would seem to be more natural for them to have a pond or creek to swim in. They must have plenty of pure water to drink and will grow and breed just as' well without a swimming pool as with one. Itis true that the cost of raising hens and producing eggs has increased, but the proportion is very small when compared with the increased value of the output. The cost of production has become about 50 per cent larger, while the. growth of receipts per dozen eggs is between 150 and 250 per cent and the Increase in the rate for chick- ens and fowls Is about 100 per cent. One poultry raiser told another that she was very foolish to set pullets' eggs, as they wouldn't hate!. The lat- ter asked the writer abotlt it. We an- swered that there was no truth in the Statement, for pullets' eggs Will hateh Its well as hens' eggs, all other things being etettal, But it is not advisable to restrict the settings to pullets' eggs exclusively, but use hens' eggs ale Well, The progeny from pullets Is never se large or hardy as from mature hemi; therefore the eggs from the latter are pretorable tot stetting lturpeses.'

Tbere was an absentminded bishop lir western Ontario, who was constant- ly onstantly finding himself in awkward situa- tions, on account of his extreme ab- straction. On a certain occasion he was traveling from London in a north-. Orly direction and found .when the conductor approached him that be had forgotten where he was to go. The conductor suggested that he telegraph from the next station and find out his' destination. it was before the days ot long distance telephones, and the bishop telegraphed to his wife from the first station, "Where was 1 go- ing?" to be answered at the following station. The answer came, "Exeter;. be sure to get off there." The bishop then beamed at the anxious conductor and remarked placidly: "These little difficulties always turn out satisfac- torily."—Argonaut. German Pedigree Book. There is in Germany what is known as the "German Pedigree Book," or "Deutsches Geschleciterbuch." The purpose of the pedigree book, accord- ing to a Berlin correspondent, is to record the ancestry not of nobles, but of bourgeois persons who can prove that they are of genuine middle class or' working class ancestry and have no noble blood in their veins. rhe editor explains in his preface that, while many German nobles "out of court and material considerations have kept their blood not pure,there are e many good business class families which have managed to do so." By thus encouraging the proper pride of such families the pedigree book is do- ing much to eradicate the traditional envy of the nobles. It Depends on the Dog. •Two Broadway business men met before a bar. They were good friends. "I'm worried a little," said one. "My chauffeur ran over a dog today and killed it." "Oh; 1 wouldn't worry about a little thing like that," said the other. "The dog probably got in the way. These dogs are a pest." "But it was your dog." "What!" came from the second. "My dog?

NO FLIES ATE THESE RADISHES New Remedy to Kill the Pests Is Based on Arsenate and Wool Fat. The radish fly is bound to make its appearance in early spring, says Farm and Fireside, and to lay its eggs on or near the roots of the radish plants it happens to find, and the eggs will hatch, and the young maggots will bore into the radishes. No method of manuring. whether with stable manure, old compost or chemical fertilizers, will protect the plants. Boiling water will, of course, kill the maggots or eggs it touches, but it cannot be applied free - SOUSE SPRING RELISHES. ly enougb to kill those already inside the root without also killing the plant. It is not a complete nor a safe rem- edy. The free application of tobacco dust, with or without bonemeal, next to the rows of plants, will tend to keep the fly away and prevent in some meas- ure the deposition of eggs. Many sprays. especially tobacco tea, kerosene emulsion and probably lime sulphur solution will also kill the worms touch- ed by them, but the applications should be made repeatedly at short intervals so as to catch the maggots before they find a safe retreat inside of the root. This year we have a new compound retuedy in n combination of lime and sulphur solution with lead arsenate and wool fat.
