Improved Seed Corn.


All intelligent farmers know some
thing about the importance OF planting
good seed in raising the various crops
usu%lly grown on the farm. One of the
first requisites in the production of a
good crop OF almost any kind is to use
good seed. The corn crop in the
United States is of such vast import
ance that the seed used in planting can
hardly be selected with too much care.
Corn may be vastly improved by mix
ing different kinds together, and all
that is necessary TO do this is to select
any two kinds that may be desired and
plant the different kinds in alternate
rows, and at tasseling time watch close
ly and cut out all the tassels as soon as
they are properly out in all the rows
you wish improved. The ears on the
mutilated stalks are then necessarily
fertilized by pollen from the stalks in
rows containing the other variety,
hence the mutilated stalks yield the
improved corn. This in turn may be
mixed in similar manner the next year,
with any other variety or any other va
riety mixed with it that may be desired.
Thus, by careful and judicious Sc
| lection of varieties best suited to eli
mate and soil, any planter may obtain
the healthiest, and most prolific, and
in every way the best variety, perhaps
it is possible for him to get. AS a
matter of course, this whole process
for improvement should be conducted
on plat of land separated from where
any other corn is grown sufficiently far
as 10 insure an admixture with it.
adopted the above plan some time
ago, with view TO obtain an improy-
ed variety, and / am free to confess
that the result is somewhat surprising.
l am unable TO state with accuracy the
advantage the improved variety has
over the unimproved but 1t certainly
Is very considerable. Some OF my
! neighbTfs have obtained seed from me,
ana arg pleased with it. Try my plan,
