How TO SAVE SEED CoRN.-Farmcrs
are not generally aware that seed corn
should be saved from stalks which have
no. been stripped Of their leaves. A little
reflection wilconsiiiSe anyone, that itis
only such corn which can be said to have
arrived at perfection. Tile loayes ofcornit
is we'll known, perform the same part in the
economy Of that plant, that the lungs do in
the economy Of the human .body-breattl-
ing, so to speak, the air and nssimilating Of
rejecting its elements when decomposed,
according US they are not necessary for It's
use. Accordingly when the leaves hro
stripped for fodder, the plan. soon dies and
as tho process ofIstripping is always com
.menced before the corn is perfectly ripe. it
ofcourse cannot possess its full strength,
and when planted next season, must fail in
productiveness when compared with that
which has been suffered to come to per-
fcclion. These are simple, but scientific
facts, which cannot be refu,ed and should
be borne in mind, and acted upon by all
ifarnors, who have regard for their IN
terest or take pride in their ayocntion.
The quantity Of corn required for seed,
should always be in the way we have do.
