SEED CORN.
The Importance of Good Seed
Urged by a Writer in the st.
Louis Republic.

The Importance of Good Seed
Urged by a Writer in the st.
Louis Republic.
There are few topics connected with
farm management upon which the
farmer has received more advice than
this, and yet every spring there is Il
large loss through the use of poor seed.
To select corn from crib that has been
gathered at different times in the fall
always makes an increased risk, as
more or less of it is almost certain to be
damp, and if before it is thoroughly
dried out it is subjected to hard freeze
its vitality is considerably injured. The
principal objection to selecting seed
corn in this way is its uncertain quality.
The work of properly preparing the
soil is good filth. and of planting the
seed is the same whether good or poor
seed is planted, while to get a poor
stand implies a considerable amount or
extra work replanting or considerable
loss in the yield if good stand Is not
finally secured. Yet nearly every farm
Ell knows that the replanting rarely
makes as good a growth and yield as
main planting, to say nothing of the
extra work. If good seed is selected in
the fall before cold weather sets in and
is then thoroughly dried before storing
away, and then is kept dry, there is
very little risk In planting. 1t is no
more work to thin corn than to replant,
and by using seed of good quality and
properly planting there will be but little
occasion to do the work over again.
The best seed corn is that grown on
the farm and properly selected in good
season. But when this is not done the
next best thing is purchase the needed
supply early in the spring, III good time
to test its quality before planting the
whole crop. Then make start of Sc
lecting and saving the necessary guam
tity every year.
In majority of cases, through this
section at least, it will pay to plant one
early and one late variety, rather than
to risk the whole crop upon one kind.
In addition to the leSsened risk, many
farmers will find it quite an advantage
to have some corn that will come in
ready to use in August, especially for
the hogs. OF course the farmer who
has full supply of old corn does not
feel the need of it so much, but it is so
often the case that farmer feeds out
and with hogs that are to be fed for
early fall market it will be quite an adj
vantage to have corn that will come in
early and be ready to feed at this time.
The early varieties do not usually yield
so well as the larger, taller kinds. yet
taking one year with another, it will be
found an advantage to have an early
supply, and will prove fully as profit
able in the end as the latter. There are
white and yellow early varieties as well
as late

than does corn. This, however, does
not much matter, so long as the oats are
fed on the farm and their manure is re-
turned to it. There are more nitrogen
eous and mineral elements in the oat
grain than there is in corn. But to
AFFECT this, more of these elements go
into the manure from animals fed with
oats than from corn-fed stock.
We hold that no Eastern farmer can
at anything near present prices of oats
grow this crop to sell in any other way
than by feeding it. Thus disposing of
the crop it is hard to set limit to what
it may be made to bring. Oats are, of
all grains. the best for young animals.
Their husks prevent them from clogging
delicate digestive organs, while the ker-
mel contains nutriment equal, and as
many believe superior, to that of wheat.
Oats mixed with corn and ground are an
excellent fattening food. They do not
form solid mass in the stomach, as
corn is apt to do. Even for store cattle
mixture of ground oats ana corn with
cut straw makes cheaper and better
ration than hay.

was no great influence of any sort, no
vigorous attempts at controlling the
market. and so it. became a hum-drum
affair. The Liverpool cables were
simply quiet and unchanged for spot
and futures. New York dispatches
confirmed II boat loads taken for eX-
port yesterday and reported fresh bust
ness to-day, but this was denied later.
-Four boat loads were worked for export
to-day by way of Boston. The ocean
rate was given out at SID, very low
figure. Export clearances were but
100000 bu at New York and 1000 bu at
Philadelphia. The 100000 Blu IN
spected from store here included
1850 bu of No. 2 red winter. Leading
buyers in this market were Chandler

Clifford, Schwartz, Stever and Jones'

Hutchinson was free seller between

corn 547, and oats 1876 cars. Shipments
Wheat, 15,O4S bu; corn, 237, $50 blu;
oats, l24,024 bu. Corn was unusually

There was fair amount of trading. but
the pyice for May scarcely varied
from 2955c. Hutchinson was a
very heavy seller, and JOnes-Ken-

falling off in receipts helped to hold the
pork and wheat also contributed to this.
Oats were quiet and prices underwent

Provision trade showed some of the
strength to-day. Several things helped
the slight advance. Receipts Of hogs
are disappointing. Offerings in the pit
were very meager. To-day receipts at
six leading packing points were but
$4,000, against $4,000 hogs year ago.
AT the Chicago yards all parties bought
at slightly better prices. There was a
frmer feeling in the pit at the opening,
with prices about 215c higher all round.
May pork sold &c higher early at 5000,
and after the call there was brisk buy
ing, headed by Baldwin, and the price
went to S1O.35, but soon dropped back
to 1929. where it closed. Lard sold
up to 26.l5, May $500, July closing at
S6.1O and s6.l5@6. ~. The Anglo
American bought July lard and sold
May. Norton IL WOrthington bought
pork early. Short ribs held around IS

farm products" have gone down in
price to the farmer, but not to the con-
sumner. In grain, beef cattle, hogs and
the like, there Is, now an immense mar
gin OF profit between producer and con-
sumner. The writer names, as the chief
causes of this widening gulf, the crime
of adulteration and the eXorbitant
profits of manufacture under patent.
They are then among the main causes
of the agricultural depression, i'll the
opinion of Farm and Fireside.
AS striking example of manufacture
under patent, he takes oatmeal. AT the
store it retaIls for Is cents per two
pound package. At the elevator the
oats bring 10 cents per bushel of thirty
two pounds. That is. the farmer can
buy two pounds of oatmeal with a
bushel OF oats. This is possible. be-
cause the patent laws make a
patent an absolutely unrestricted mo-
nopoly for seventeen years. The Oat-
meal millers, having a patent law
monopoly, are joined together i'm a COM
bination to control production and
prices. Another example is the best
roller-process flour, made from 60-cent
len bushels of wheat buy barrel of
this fine -four. Formerly, five bushels
of wheat paid for barrel of flower.
The patents on milling machinery in
creased the margin between producer
and consumer.
The writer of this interesting article
thinks that the expression in the title

a remedy. Farmers should turn their
attention more to the raising of articles
that, from their nature, cannot be adul-
terated, cornered, or subjected to the
exorbitant profits of manufacture
