Selection of Seed Corn.

Securing seed corn for this year. s
crop will 10 n difficult task for many in
parts of tho western states. The ranlarIs-
able drought so affected the crop over
largo regions that little of it is suitable
for planting, even il any We're nl;Itured.
Especial canton should be used in
these cases. The general rule should DO
to try to get seed from the nearest re-
gion having soil and climate much like
that where the corn is to be planted.
There is growing conviction that, in
case Of corn as with animals, occasional
crossing often increases productiyeness
and sizo. Even if a corn grower is we'll
satisfied with tho variety he is growing
it may be we'll to Introduce little
fresh blood" occasionally. Some care
full experiments have shown an increased
yield from judicious crossing Of yarie
ties.
Tho type of corn to be selected will
be influenced properly, not only by lat
itude, altitude and soil, but by the pur-
pose for which the crop is to be used.
Thus many cattle feeders in Illinois
quite prefer varieties producing long,
slender ears, partly because they find
such ears better for feeding to cattle,
either when fed unhusked or broken.
Where corn is to be sold or fed after be-
ing shelled tho thickness Of the ear is of
less Importance. While the evidence of
chemists is that the feeding valuo of
corn does not depend Oh the color Of tho
kernels this is we'll worth taking into
consideration. Different markets prefer
one or the other of tho two leading col
ors. Where the corn is to DO fed on the
farm, color is an uni1nportant point rel
atively. Farmer.

The secret Of the cut of the new skirts
lies in the proper proportioning of the

make tho upper part fit smoothly round the

as the fold goes in front, making the con-

WHEN A COLONY SWARMS.

Which Orders the Proceeding, the Zee
Queen or the Workers?
A subject discussed in the columns Of
The American Bee Journal, which clio
tied opinions from somo Of the best bee
keepers of the country, was which Or
ders the swarming-tho queen or tho
workers. Seven out Of % apairists az
flrmed that the worker bees controlled
the proceedings, three thought that the
queen leads, several believed that both
worked together, and two did not know.
". NJ B..rnum S. i'd II don't know,
but think there is usually an under
standing between bees and queen. Pos
sibly the bees create the emergency, and
the queen gives the signal.
Dadout & Son said: 1--WE think they
are unanimous OH that point. Tho queen
is angry because young queens are
reared, and the bees are uncomfortable
Tor want OF room.
Mrs J. N. Heater expressed the opin-
ion that, with normal first swarm, the
queen is among the last to leave the
hive, while with after swarms with vir
gin queens the queen is about the first
one to leave the hive.
E. r. Abbott remarked: Neither of
them. The economy Of beehive is not
managed on the Debs plan. Each one
has a mind to work the best sho knows
how, and when the time comes for doing
thing they all do it without any Or
dering. The workers generally 60 out
first, however. y
G. W. Demaree said: 'The worker
bees control the whole proceeding. Last
season was watching for the queen at
the entrance Of hive where the bees
were in the act Of swarming, and the
queen did not make her appearance IN
til three~quarters Of the swarm was in
the air, and when she did appear she
was being hustled out by force of arms.

her as she sullenly vacated. I onco
had swarm to issue while l had the
hive open and saw the internal excite
ment and saw the queen make repeat
ed attacks on a sealed queen cell, but
the guards stood firmly and even used
force to drive her away. The old idea
that the queen leads out tho swarm
looks romantic and all that, but it is

Corn and Cotton Worms.

AS explained by Rural New Yorker,
what is known as the cotton worm con-
fines its work almost entirely to the
cotton fields Of the south. It is differ
ent insect from what is known as the
boil worm in the south, and this boil
worm is the corn worm of both northern
and southern cornfelds. In the north
this boil worm also works in tomatoes
usually in the fruits-and in the pods
Of peas. Thus the cotton worms and
boil worms are different kinds of species
of inseots-tut the adults Of both are
moths-and it is the boil worm which
works on corn, tomatoes, etc., in the
north. The cotton worm rarely occurs
very far north of Mason and Dixon's
line.
