After every damp harvest as the
present has been in most localities the
grain goes into the barn with its straw
not SO thoroughly dried out as it
should be. says American Cultivator.
There is also considerable dampness In
the grain itself, and this will prob
ably cause heating of the grain in the
NOW. With spring grain this does not
matter much. for the grain will be
pretty sure to dry out when freezing
cold weather comes But whenever
winter grain is grown the seed for next
harvest has TO be selected from the
present years crop. and this often
means the premature threshing of the
winter grain and using it while still
damp as seed To this fact is proc
ably to be attributed the common be-
lief among farmers that old wheat and
rye are better for seed than new. In
the old grain the freezing of winter
and the subsequent thawing have made
| the seed nearly wholly free of mois-
| ture. Yet all these experiences are not
| absolutely necessary. If the grain is
I III Tic ldii tndt Is
/ grown, it is not only as fit but more
fit for seed than it is after being dried
out by winter freezing. wherein its
| terminating powers are more apt to be
injured than they are by being thor
oughly dried out the previous fall. We
| have heretofore advised the greatest
care for drying seed grain for fall SOW
| ing. But it is far better. we believe,
to thoroughly dry the seed even by ar
tihcial means. We have over and over
again dried seed grain in fruit evapo-
rators such as are used for drying ap-
pies, and always with the best results
in large proportion grown Of the seed
that was sown. We believe that 1t
is best to dry all grain used as seed
by the heat of fire; it may be by
braiding the seed corn and hanging it
beside the chimney, so as to secure the
heat of the kitchen fire, but however
it is dried, the seed that has fire heat
to dry 1t is sure to produce the most
vigorous growth and the largest crop
of grain.
