Drying Seed Corn.

The old plano hanging the seed corn
to the joists otthe kitchen by the husks,
which had been stripped back and
plated togetherfor the purpose, always
seemed to make "Seed that would
grow because it was thoroughly dried,
says n contemporary. Not many
farmers wives will allow their kitchens
to be cluttercd up this way nowadays;
and so We suggest that the corn be
hung in the smoke house and regularly
smoked, like hams. This will secure its
thorough drying, which is the essential
point, and the smoke will tend to keep
birds and insects at a respectful dis
sance when planted, But, what ever
plan you may adopt, be sure that the
seed is thoroughly dried before it is
reached by cold weather, In

The Value of the Percheron Stud
Book of France.

It contains the pedigrees and brief
descriptions of about five thousand Of
the best bred Pcrcherons, and none
but the produce Of recorded sire and
dam are now eligible to entry, Every
one is familiar with the old breeding
axiom, Like begets like or the likeness
of some of its ancestors" From this
alone the most obtuse mind will readily
perceive that n knowledge of those
ancestors is rs necessary to the sue
cessful breeder as the perfection of the
animal himself, Stud books are histo-
ries of the individuals OF Il breed. and
are, therefore, the only means by which
the value of any animal for breeding
purposes can be measured; while the
worth Of animals of unknown ancestry,
however fine they may be. individually,
can only be aScertaincd by experiment.
This is the reason why animals of es-
tablished pedigrees, tracing through n
line OF excellent ancestry, always COM
mand higher prices, IN this advanced
age of scientific breeding any person
attempting to disparage the value OF
pedigrees, or opposing improvement
through the means of stud books, must
be actuated by selfish motives and
should be regarded with suspicion.
There are many horses being imported
from France, Of whose origin nothing
Is known.
