that. IL we persistently selected with
reference to the produetion OF, say
two ears, instead OF constantly se-
lecting. in practice, stalks pr0duc-
ing but one ear, we would make a
decided gain. Whether this be true
or not, there are abundant reasons
for early selections and from the
field.
There is no necessity that corn
designed for seed should fully
mature on the stalk. Experiments
have shown apparent strong vitality
kernels which are shrivled up from
the ears having been plucked long
before maturity. l would not advise
this in practice, but there can be no
objection TO plucking seed corn
some weeks before it would do to
put in the crib. The essentials in
treatment of the corn seems to be
that both kernels and cob shall
become pretty thoroughly dry be-
fore there is severe freezing. Fire
heat may be used to secure this, but
is usually not essential. The old
plan OF tracing up the ears, pair by
pair. by the husks, and hanging
them up in warm dry room, viii
almost certainly give good results,
/ like better the use Of cork screw
wire' put in the but Of each ear and
slipped over y vertical wire.
Among undesirable qualities fol
any northern region may be named
excessive size Of stalk, in height OF
thickness or the opposite extreme
the habit Of bearing the ears very
high up, on long or very thicl
"shanks;" cobs OF great thickness
or with marked differences in thick
ness ut but and tip, shallow kernel.
and failure to "fill out" weell ut tn,

Fall Selection Of Seed Corn.

A correspondent OF the Western
Farmer writing from the Illinois
college Of agriculture, says:
There has been serious loss to
farmers in the great corn growing
regions OF the United States, in ut
least three Of the last four years from
difficulty in securing good seed corn.
Much OF this loss might have been
prevented by wiser attention to the
selection and care TO the corn design
ed for seed each year there have been
farmers who had large quantities OF
good seed, and it is certainly easier
to properly care for few bushels
than for . large quantity.
The early fall Is the best time in
which to make this selection, be-
cause corn then selected can be so
kept as to insure its vitality when
used for seed, and, also, because
selection at this time better enables
the farmer to improve his corn by
the choice OF that which possesses
the greatest number Of good quail
ties. While / would encourage the
trial Of promising new varieties and
experimenting In crossing, etc., /
count it unwise to abandon the
cultivation Of varieties which have
teen thoroughly tested and found:satis
factory in any locality.
ANY variety may be improved by
continued careful selection Of seed.
Any variety will deteriorate il seed
be carelessly or unwisely selected
Selection OF seed from the bin, es-
decially il this be done in the spring
only gives opportunity for the
choice OF satisfactory ears. Selec.
ton in the field, in the early autumn
gives opportunity to determine the
comparative earliness Of the chosen
ears and the character OF the stalks
on which they were produced. Ant
in both these respects great differ
ences will be found in corn OF the
same variety even when growing il
the same hill.
It is impossible to combine al
good qualities in one variety. Early
maturity is especially desirable
north Of say 40 degrees, but remark
able earliness is never accompanir,
by large size and great productive
ness. Our experiments have shOwl
that, one year with another, we &c
better results from varieties Whicl
are not at either extreme as to siz
o. tine Of lipcniEg. This would b
still mort true in regions f,rthe

scntial.

Removal of Spots and Stains = HYGIENE
Hints-Decorative Fancies.

Benzine is undoubtedly by far the best and
cheapest substance for removing grease, resin,
stearine, paraffine, tar, wagon-greaSe, etc,
the purest kind to be applied 10 the more
delicate fabrics. Such spots are veryi.often
complicated by the adhesion of dust or other
matters, which, even if insoluble themselves
readily fall off when the substance with
which they are combined is removed. For
spots Of oil it is best to add little alcoholic
ether. Silver spots and indelible ink can be
removed, even after long time. by means of
cyanide OF potassium or iodide of potassium
applied IN a concentrated solution. Rust
spots can be made to disappear by treatment
with a weak solution composed of one part
nitric acid and twenty-five of water, and al
terward Tinsing with water and ammonia;
copper spots by diluted sulphuric acid and
ammonia, and subsequently with water and
ammonia. Spots of paint, when not soluble
in water and alcohol, can almost always be
removed by oil of turpentne. For COM
plete removal il is necessary to wash the
spot afterward in a good deal of turpentine
Fruit, wine, and similar spots are to be
treated by sulphuric acid, which may be re-
placed sometimes, but not always, by chlor-
inc. The acid may be applied either in the
form of gas or dissolved in water in the first
case the substance to be treated is to be
stretched at the proper height over burnin
sulphur. and in the latter moistened with
the solution and then washed with pure
water. For fine white table cloths the diluted
acid is preferable.
