Timothy on Sandy Soil.

Timothy grass is often sown on sandy soil, not because if is especially adapted to it, but because sandy soil is not easily seeded with anything, and timothy, which can be sown late in summer and all through the fall succeeds rather bot ter than the grasses and clovers sovn in spring. All sandy soils are deficient in mineral plant food. Timothy does not require much, either of phosphate or potash, until it's seeds begin to form. Ii does not need one-quarter as much of these minerals or of lime as does clover. and as it's roots run near the surface it is manured chiefly by the ammonia gathered by falling rains in their pas sage through the air When once seeded with timothy, the grass will remain in sandy soil until it is starved out, and moses take it's place.

 In many localities the hes. dry weather we had in jtly ard the early part of August affected tha qnahi.ti and yield of the corn b 2s, ]. s.n eNtebt that it will be an item ne,.i spring to secure good seed edrn. The safest and best plan is to lay in the needed supply this fall | arc. store i a5TFy where 1t wFii keep in gosd condition
 The best time to select the seed corn is in the fall as soon as the grain is we'll hardened. LN addition to making sure of good supply, selecting in the field in tho fall aifcrds better cppor- tuaity for making inc best selection, as the stalk as well as the ear can be considered, which, of course, cannot be done after the corn iscribbed.
 When the conditions of growth will admit the best seed corn is that which is selected from what is grown on the farm, provided, of course, that proper care is taken In the selection, When the first selection is made it is always best to select rather a larger quantity than will be reeded. This gives aa opportunity of making S acc ond selection. Orc item in selecting thc i enrs is to choose thosa that are well filled both at the tip and at the butt. Tho grain should be sound and deep. ! While it is difficult 10 secure very large ear without fairly good-sized cob, yet getting ears with deep grains will make considerable difference in the size of tho cob. So far as can be donoSthe ears should be uniform in color, shape, of grain and time of ma turity.
 After sufficient quantity Is secured 1t should be thoroughly dried, and then stored where it will keep dry and be safe from vermin. One of the most serious objections 10 taking seed corn from crib in the spring is the risk 1 that it's vitality may have been injured by it's being damp when thrown into the crib or while standing in the field and then being frozen. Exposure 10 l cold does net iriure the vitality when 1 the grain is thoroughly dry, butif damp | it is often seriously injured ls frost.
