Selecting Seed Corn.

Our great national crop is Indian corn.
and anything that will improve that crop
il Of vast importance. Much may be
done to improve the quality and increase
the yield by the thorough and systematic
selection Of the seed to be planted. 1t is
not enough to plant plump grains. sepa
rated from the smaller ones by means of
sleeves. The work OF selection should be
begun while the plants are yet growing.
and choosing those stocks that are of Wig
orous growth and the size and shape to
furnish the best quality Of fodder. They
should be well eared-by this it is not un-
derstood that the larger the number of
ears found the better it is; also early
enough to complete growth before frosts
come, etc. The ears should be well
formed. small at the butt. that they may
be broken of with ease in husking; the
husks should be soft and loose when ripe.
and the cob covered with grain to the
very tip. or. as it is termed. well filled
out" The stocks that are to furnish the
seed for next years planting should have
abundant space and the best chance for
the most perfect growth. Anything that
will increase the vitality. that is the life of
the grain, will be felt in the coming crop.

day long the gander could be seen going
in front of the horse, giving signs Of his
presence BY constant cackle. the horse
following the sound. The gander led the
way to the best pasture and to water. A
perfect understanding was had between
them. and they seemed to know what
each wanted At night the gander ac-
companied the horse 10 the stall. sat under
the trough. and the horse would OCCASION

.sTAs Saving Of he sat,sn,-Dpy EsrtA.

A number of years ago we visited an
esteemed contributor to the American Ag-
riculturist, and as he showed us about his
place, We passed through an outbuilding
where there was large bin filed with
something that we did not ct first recog-
nize. Seeing an inquiry in our look be
exclaimed: There, that is to be the saw
ing Of the nation" The article was finely
silted dry earth, which, a. gathered on his
place. was Of q color 50 peculiar that we
did not At first recognize it. The gentle
man referred to was, and is. one
Of the strongest advocates Of the
earth closet, and as thoroughly be-
lieves in the value Of dry earth as an alb
sorbent and disinfectant in many places
where others might not think OF using it.
Whether employed in the earth closet or
for other uses. it il all important that the
dry earth shall be dry-not merely not
vet or moist. but absolutely dust dry.
This month usually brings a time which,
while unfavorable tn plant growth. Is the
very best TO collect dry earth. Our d.
rections here refer TO laying in the family
supply: IL large quantities are required.
then road scrapers and other implements
will be needed. The first step is to select
the stifTest, most clayey piece the field or
garden affords. When ready TO collect,
Kill the weeds by using light cultivator
over the piece, and then harrow 1t several
times during the day. IF the operation is
confined 70 the garden. use some Of the
hand cultivators. or push hoe, 10 kill the
weeds. and long-toothed rake in
stead Of the harrow. Having made
the surface light. fine, and dry, by re-
peated STRINGS, the next day it Is TO be
gathered. Prepare platform oil old boards
using . few nails 10 keep them together.
platforms that may be drawn by horses
are used. The earth that has been made
hne and loose Is to be shovelled upon the
platform, and allowed to remain exposed
10 the sun for several hours. II is i'm
possible to make earth perfectly dry BY
leaving il In place no matter how dry the
surface may seem, there is always mois-
ture brought up from below, and il is only
by placing 1t upon platform that sufii-
GENTLY perfect dryness can be- secu ed.
Narrowing the earth one day, and placing
that from the surface on boards. to cut off
all moisture from below. the drying be-
comes practically complete. In storing
the earth. care must he observed to have
the bin above the surface Of the ground.
80 that no moisture can enter from below.
and it must Of course be under cover where
no moisture can reach it from rains. etc.
Before storing. the earth should be siited
70 remove all Jumps, pebbles. dead weeds.
etc. A garden sieve or mason's riddle
will answer the purpose. Sandy earth
will be easier to collect, but do not take it.
II other il TO be had. as the deodorizing
power Is due to the clay the earth contains.
While earth can be dried by artificial
means, II is vastly cheaper to employ the
sun to do the work. Lay in an abundance
of dry earth. enough to last year. and do
