KEEPING SEED-CORN.

The keeping Of the corn is as i'm
portant as the gathering of it. 1t is
true that good keeping will not
make good seed of poor corn, corn
improperly selected, but on the other
hand, poor keeping will destroy the
best seed. The secret of good keep
ing lies in getting and keeping the
corn dry. A very low temperature
will not injure the germ if it is not
surrounded by moisture, whereas a
temperature no lower than the
freezing point will destroy enough
germs to make the corn unfit for
planting if it is damp at the time.
The corn must be we'll cured afterit
is gathered, and for curing there is
no better place that some out build
ing where there is a free circulation
of the air. The corn should be
spread out not more than one ear
deep on boards some distance from
the ground, if near the ground it
will be very slow to cure, as it will
absorb moisture from the earth.
OIICI IL iCHullCS COII lOIfSCI W cure
out than a person supposes. Some
few years ago. a very careful farmer
gathered a fine lot of seed-corn
in the fall, and, as he thought,
cured it out thoroughly before he
put it away for the winter. One
day in the winter he went to look at
it, and when he uncovered it was
g 'eatly astonished to find it covered
with frost, it had not absorbed the
moisture after being put away the
moisture had always been in it
After corr is completely cured out
it matters little how or where it is
kept, SO that it does not absorb
moisture and vermin do not infest
it. OF course very low temperatures
are to be avoided, yet cold will have
little effect upon it if it is perfectly
free from moisture. 1t is the com
bination of cold and moisture that
proves fatal to the germ.-Ihe

TO KEEP

Gather in fall and remove the
tops; then spread upon a barn floor
or in any OPEN shed, and allow them
to remain there until thoroughly
dry. Put into barrels or small bins
or boxes, and place in a cool place,
and at the approach Of cold weather
cover with straw or chatf, if there is
danger of severe freezing.
Onions r often injured in the
winter by keeping them in too
warm a place. They will seldom be
injured by frost if kept in the dark,
and in tight barrel or boxes, where
not subjected to frequent changes of
temperature. 1t is the alternate
freezing and thawings that destroy
them, and if placed in a position
where they will remain frozen all
winter, and then thawed out slowly
and in a dark place, no considerable
injury would result from this appa-
rently harsh treatment. Onions
should always be stored in the cool
est part of the cellar, or put in chaf
and set in the barn or some out
hOuse.-IHe Maryland Farmer.

bama, who have tried the plan with
perfect success and satisfactory re-

ence I find no plan to equal 1t,
although it is so incredible to
inexperienced farmers that few will
try it. Nevertheless, l will give
it, and if farmers lose their fine
crop Of potatoes now on hand they
alone will be to blame if they fail
to adopt it.
Bank up in the old fashioned way
using pine straw and leaves next to
the potatoes, and then over

six inches deep, running the hill up
to a sharp point, having no ventila-
ton at the top or elsewhere. DO
this as soon as dug out of the
ground, or the same day; cover
with nothing in the way Of a shed
covering not even a plank on the
top. Let them take the weather as
it comes, and if you don't have pota-

FARMERS GATHERINGS.

No class Of our citizens can make
a success Of their calling without
sociable gatherings, consultations,
discussions any pla1pihg for their
mutual good. 81
We e this iYNll the trade unions
the Knights 81 Labor, the various
organizations of manufacturers, the
dealers in%pecial commodities, and
even in the political parties.
The same holds good with the
Farmers. They must get together,
consult, discuss and plan. They
must go even further than this they
must make plans and carry them
out.
Organized effort will accomplish
vastly more than any known method
of proceeding; and there are many
and great objects which the farmers
should endeavor to bring about.
The first step, however, is for
them to institute gatherings, clubs,
small societies, meetings Of every
description, and may the coming
winter find such in every neighbor-
hood.-NeU Farm.

SELECTING SEED CORN.

The losses that occur every year
from the employment Of defective
or inferior seed corr ought to I'M
press every farmer with the neces-
sity of a careful selection of seed at
time of harvesting the crop. While
the corn is yet standing in the fields
this selection can readily and judi
ciously made, but the O r M in
the bins the farmer labors under Sc
rious disadvantages. In selecting
seed four points should be taken
into consideration-frs first, ear
illness Of maturity; second, number
of ears upon a stalk; third, size OF
stalks; and fourth, perfection of the
ears. Like produces like with seed
as with animals. One cannot eX-
pect to produce a large crop Of corn
when, for instance, five stalks have
grown in a hill and but one has
borne an ear. Every farmer knows
hat such corn is useless for seed.
The best a for seed corr is the
II that is uniform in size through
out it, entire length, with straight
rows and ~well-formed grains the
entire length.
Seed corn must be gathered BE-
fore freezing weather and placed
where it will begin Immediately to
dry. In the northern belt of States
this drying question is an important
one, for if the corn-especially the
larger varieties-be not subjected to
favorable conditions for drying, 50
that the seed corn will become thols
oughly cured, cob included, it will
result in failure through lack of GER
minating powers, while if properly
cured it will sprout and grow under
any condition.
Many farmers after having sun
dried their seed corn store it in the
lofts of their smoke houses in order
that it may become permeated with
the creosote from the smoke there.
and thus gain a protection, when
planted, against the depredations of
field mice, worms and SQUIRRELS

TO KEEP SWEET POTATOES.

Sweet potatoes can be kept by
placing them in bulk in a bin or box
(the more the better) without dry
ing, and maintaining for them a uni
form temperature Of 45o to 500.
Putting something between, among,
or around them may r to keep
them at the proper temperature, but
it is of no value whatever aside from
this; and if it should retain damp
ness, it will be a positive injury.
After the sweat takes place. say in
three or four weeks, scatter over
them a light covering of dry loan
or sand. In this way it is easy to
keep sweet potatoes for table use
or for seed, as well as the "~inferior
and less nourishing Irish potato"
Another way is to pack in barrels,
and pour in kiln-dried sand until the
intervals are full or boxes of uniform
size, piled up on the side Of a room
where the temperature never falls
to the freezing point, which is a
condition Of first Importance. This
wall of boxes may be papered over
and left undisturbed till spring,
when the potatoes will command
the highest prices.-Ihe Maruaud

into woody fibre and become nearly
worthless. 1t is a mistake to sup
pose that early-cut hay is more liza
BILE to injury in curing. Though
wet with rains and badly colored it
is much better than it looks. Over
ripe hay, on the contrary, is nearly
ruined by exposure to rains. When
dried out and wet it's soluble parts
are easily wasted and grain has to
be fed to make good the loss. Mr..
Terry of Ohio has for five years kept
his horses without grain, and they
have bee. fat while at hard work
all the time. With ordinary late
cut hay this could not be done. The
crop of early hay will not be less
per acre, but with clover, two and
even more cuttings may be made in
a season.
SMUT IN RI
The black mould found on corn is
not a disease of the grain, but a fun
gus growth on it's surface, the same
as rust on wheat. In wet weather
it absorbs the juices Of the ear, dry
ing up finally and leaving millions
of spores, which find a Judgement
and are ready next season to repro
duce themselves. If care is taken
not to carry any smutty ears to the
corncrib or the barnyard, the fungus
may be exterminated. 1t should
not be fed to stock, as it will get
into the anu and be carried on
the corn ground in the spring. If
corn is grown after corn the disease
becomes very prevalent, showing
that the spores live in winter on the
ground, or probably on or un-
der pieces of corn stubble.
ASSERTING PIGS.
In a large litter Of pigs there are
always M or two runts or under
lings, and as they grow older the
disparity is apt to increase rapidly
by the stronger crowding the
weaker away from the teat while
sucking, and later from the feeding
troughs. Before they are old
enough to wean the tendency of a
few to get ahead of the remainder
will require some watching to pre-
vent the weaker from being stunted.
Nothing is quite so good for young
pigs as their mothers milk. When
old enough to wean take off the best
and put them in a separate pen with
abundance of good food. Keep the
the remainder with the sow one or
two weeks longer, OF until it has
evened up somewhat with the others.
1t will be impossible even with the
best care to make the poorer pigs
equal to those that first took the
lead. The effect of high feeding,
however, will make them fatten IA
Their than grow. If this is found to
be the case kill them for pig pork
severe cold weather comes.
There is more profit in such pigs by
killing them carly than by trying to
keep over winter.

The fact is very suggestive that
the egg supply falls off most rapidly
while the days are shortening, and
smallest always during the months
when the hours Of sunshine are the
fewest. No preparation for getting
eggs in winter is complete which
does not provide, besides warmth
and good feeding, a plentiful supply
of sunshine.

OF FUEL.

A good farmer or householder
will keep an adequate supply OF
fuel ready for use at all times. This
can be done when men and teams
are not otherwise busy, while if only
enough is got for present needs the
supply is sure to give out at the
most i~nopportune time. Where wood
is used a supply should be cut a year
in advance in order to have it thor
oughly seasoned.
