The excuse for not draining a wet farm

SEED FROM LARGE CROPS.

Whenever an extra large crop of good
quality has been grown it is worth while
to pay more than its market price for
seed from it for future sowing and plant
ing. The old rule. "Like produces like, {"
has not been abolished, and, other things
being equal, seed from good crop is
likely to produce more and better than
seed from poor one. We always select
the best ears from corn for planting.
With other grains it is not so easy on
large scale to select individual plants in
a crop to furnish seed. 1t is done par
tally by choosing the largest, plumpest
grains and winnows out from the poorer
ones, but many of the heavy grains may
have been borne by weaker plants. On
a field where the whole crop produces
heavily, the bulk of the seed is presuma-
bly, good; but it may for that reason re-
quire richer ground and more careful cul-
tivation to maintain its superiority. In
talking with a farmer recently, he sug-
gested that the gradual falling-ofT in pro-
duction of the bean crop was owing to
planting beans that were apparently all
right, but which had been grown from
plants producing few pods and not many
beans in a pod. He believed the pro-
Efficacy of the bean crop could be enor-
mously increased by bree ling up, select
ing seed for a series of years from plants
that produced most, The experiment is
well worth trying, but it must be remem-
bered that if this increased productive
ness is to be maintained, the plants hav-
ing this prolific habit must be duly fed
and cared for.-American Cultirdtor.

many months between now and shearing

in pastures and gathering their own food,
their rations must now be apportioned
to them at least twice a day, and to pre-
