ing the voyage Of the Pa MarOle from

ning at the rals Of ten knots per
hour, before a heavy westerly gale,
when the alarm was given, n man
overheard. One Of the South Sea
Isslanders had been relieved ron the
wheel, and in q heavy pair Of boots
and an OilskIn coat, was going for
ward when be was knocked over
board 0y a sea which was ruBring
over the side. The waves were run

We have been asked the best meth.
od to be pursued in the saving Of corn
for seed so as TO improve the variety,
and which Of two ears should BE- sc.
lected when thev are bath on The
same stalk
Corn for seed should be gathered
and housed before being exposed to
severe cold or freezing rains, as when
LETT longer in the field its vitality is
greatly weakened. If the crop is
gathered early il is an excellent plan
to have a small box, either in the
wagon or attached to the rear end Oi
the wagon box, into which the ears
selected for seed may be thrown as
they are found: but if the crop is no,
harvested until late, it is better 10
go through the Geld with a basket
and select IS much as may be need
ed.
10 selecting the ears for seed they
should be taken from strong and Wig
Orous stalks, and should be well IL
pened. Strip down the husk7 and
see that the ears are well FLED out
aud as nearly the same size as pOssi-
ble at both ends. Especial care should
be taken that the upper ends Of tbe
ears should be Of good size ana GlIed
clear opt to the tip. As far as posi-.
bic select the largest ears; when
there are two or more ears on a stalk
take the hest one, whether it be the
upper or lower one, and il both are OF
iaiF quality, take both. The seed
ears having been selected, thev should
be placed under a shed, or in sOms
sheltered llace for q fe~ DAYS, until
they are dry All TIE busks except
ing about hall s dozen should be re-
removed, and then by the use of the
remaining husks, the ears should be
made up into braids as large as can
be handled conveniently. The corn
should be stored in some dry place
where it will be free t-Os the attacks
Of mice. and wiz not be too cold In
the Mid1ss and Southern States the
sesi may be kept in the granery, but
in the Northern States it will De bet
ter to keep it in the attic or store
room Of the dwsi,ing house When
kept perfectly dry, the seed will eB-
dgTe mGch greater degree Of cold
without injury than when kept in an
atmosphere which has any appreeia-
Die amount Of moisture in it.
The selection and saving Of corn for
seed is Que Of the Most important
items in the raising Of the crop, as
from inferior seed only inferior
crops con be hoped for, while with
seed carefully selected year after
year, the crop will show e continued
improvement in both guantity and
auaIitv.
