MORE FACTS ABOUT SEED CORN.
Practice OF Squire John Hart, Of Louisn
County--A Prolific Corn.
fRor ~. ntsn.fchl


see in your paper how prosperous
farmer of the present day selects his
seed corn. fact as to the practice OF
somo OF the old farmers may be worth
while. Squire John Hart, Of Louisa
county, began about 1886 to save his
seed from stalks that bore two good ears.
His habit was 10 haul from the field to
the shucking- place and shuck from the
stalk. The hands were instructed to
throw aside all the stalks bearing two or
more full ears. These were again in
spected by himself and the best chosen.
and from those thus chosen only the per
feet ears. usually the top ones, we're kept
10 plant the next crop. dc thus 90
tanned remarkably prolific corn. In
fact, about 1915. he got his seed for two
wears or more from stalks having three
good ears. He gave that up, however.
because the ears were becoming too
small. Other advantages came from the
careful selection OF seed. The variety
with which be began was the old "Gourd-
Seed" a heavy, dry-grained corn, but
having each grain armed with brler so
long and so sharp as sometimes to bring
blood from the hands of the shuckers.
But in time bis corn, retaining the good
points of the Gourd-Seed, was almost
smooth.

Morgan Horses.

1t is true, as Brother Cheever says, in
the New England Farmer, that there is no
such thing as 'pure blooded" Morgan
horse and yet there's in no other breed a
moe fixed and recognizable type than the
Morgan! as he is seen on the road, aud in
the streets Of every Vermont village. The
brief crfzs, some twenty years ago, for
more ''raDgy" horses-horses that could
60 farther in day than they could get
back in three" though it threatened the
perpetuity OF the morRans, did not last
long enough to iujure the type seriously,
except in those bred for gambling purposes
and even with these the value OF Lam
bert stock shows the strength Of the pop
ular appreciation OF the Morgans. 1t is
hardly necessary to go into any deep phys
biological speculations regarding the true
inwardness OF the Morgan. He is partly
the product OF his environment in a billy
country with poor roads; but he is more
the result OF purely practical course OF Sc
lection on the part Of a body Of intelligent
farmers and villagers, who Know good
