Selecting seed Corn.

The following, from an exchange, is good,
and q trial Of it will, we think, we'll repay for
your trouble:
What you want is a corn that will bear
twelve rows to the cob, of good longth, a
broad, thick grain, not too long, ono that sits
we'll down into tho cob, carrying with it width
and thickness, so that you have a grain that
ing this kind of seed you will have to do three
things-that is, collecS at three given stages
first, go through your field before you cut up
your corn, and about tho time tho corn is ma
turing, select tho best looking cars, and tie
a thread around thom-say red yarn. Then,
when you gather your corn, save those ears.
Again, when you husk your corn, save out
tho best from the shock as you husk, and
then, finally, as you are feeding out your corn
to your stock, when you SEQ an extra good ear,
throw it aside.
Thus you will find that by spring you have
