Saving seed Corn.


One of the great difficulties expert
enced in the cultivation of corn 10 the
failure 10 get good stand. In nine
cases out o. ten this arises from injury
to the seed while hardening for corn
thoroughly ripe and dry at the time
cold weather sets in will remain intact
and germinate az promptly at planting
as any other Of ordinary grains.
This season there will be many fields
all over the West that will have caught
the frost in an unripe state, and hence
VIC may look for difficulty In germina-
ton next spring at planting time,
among that class OF farmers who do
not use due care in the selection and
curing of seed corn,
Our plan has been in fields thor
oughly ripe, when husked to have .
man at the wagon when unloading, to
throw out such ears as appear oil right.
These should be thrown into narrow
cribs we'll protected from the weather,
and in an airy situation where they may
have full benefit OF the wind and sun.
As soon az convenient the corn should
be sorted, saving only such % IL per-
feet in every respect, and put 1t where
it will become thoroughly dry before
hard weather comes.
II corn is damp at the cob freezing
and thawing will surely injure the
chit or germ. In this case We have
fund it great benefit to smoke 1t
slightly, say for one day. thus assist.
ing in drying. This has been practiced
by the Indians from time immemorial.
and when they do not smoke il they
bnry it during the winter in some dry
spot, thus securing an even tempera-
tyre and uniform moisture.
Whatever plan is pursued for saw
ing seed corn it must not be placed in
compact masses else injury is liable 10
follow. Once dry and kept 90 1t 10 So
cure. Now if mono bnt the best ears
are saved for planting you will have
no difficulty in lite terminating. and as
like produces like. increased yield
must follow selection from the beat
just as surely a. it does IN the animal
kingdom. 1t will pay Western
