sBreeding Corn.

fiji FrOI. Nv. M. hays or the Minnesota
experiment station advocates the adj
vantages Of seed corn grown in the
vicinity Of where it is to be planted.
In regard to this important matter he
says: No other field crop is so sub
5ect to local influences. University No.
10 has done well in some counties, but
has met with Indifferent success in
some adjacent ones. It has proven
well adapted to some soils, but in
some parts Of Renville county, for ex-
ample, it developed large stalks and
small ears, and matured late. Thus
we are led to conclude that varieties OF
corn suited to each locality can best be
developed in that locality. Once
KIND OF corn has proven superior in
neighborhood it should be further de-
veloped by breeding. Every farmer
VINO mas superior variety should give
II name; establish seed corn patch
each year, and breed it for sale. Corn
can be so easily bred, such rapid inn
provement can be made, and it is such
an interesting and instructive as well
as profitable side line that farmers
could understand it with profit This
Is not an impracticable matter, and
many farmers arc doing it in thor
ough manner. It is more difficult to
breed wheat, timothy or clover. Adj
ditional profit comes from farmers
corn crop if he has a variety wisely
chosen and especially bred for his own
conditions. Not only has the we'll
bred corn stronger Inherited tendencies
In producing large yields, but the farm
er has added pride in it, which works
for cleaner fields, larger crops and
greater profits. He has a greater in
terest in growing variety of corn
which is in part his own creation. Il
one has not good variety of corn
he should secure it. It may be neces-
sary to try several, though the num-
Der should be limited. The experiment
station could furnish one or more va
r1eties, and could give information as
to where others could be found suited
to a given locality. The selection Of
foundation variety is the most I'M
portant part of the improvement and
should not be hastily done. II neces-
sary two to four years should be spent
in seeking and testing new varieties.
A peck or more of each new variety
should be secured. The best can be
chosen, by planting each year few
rows Of each kind, the rows eight or
ten rods long, harvesting, weighing and
making notes on the various qualities
Of each kind. These small plots will
require only part Of the seed, the re-
mainder of which should be preserved.
Seed from the test plots will be mixed
by growing near each other, and should
not be preserved. When one kind is
found to be superior, and is chosen for
the foundation stock for new variety,
the remaining original seed should be,
planted. ~

Unsolved Dairy Problems.

Some OF the unSOlVed problems are
these: Where does the milk fat come
from? There is tbs problem connect
ed with the feeding B dairy animals,
relating to the mixing of food nu-
trients, writes L. L. Van slyke in
Hoard's Dairyman. We do: not know
positively in just what proportions
these food elements should be mixed.
It is a species of humbug to make one
ration for Jersey cow, another for an
AYRSHIRE cow, and still another for
a Guernsey, when the object in eacn
case is to produce milk fat. The use of
a feeding standard must always be ac-
~ companied by common sense observa-
ton of the individual animals we are
working with, if we expect to secure
most economical results. We have, as
yet, no satisfactory method for deter
mining the amount of fat or oil in the
food. What we report as fat or other
extract is very impure fat
The question of milk secretion in the
COW has possessed intense interest for
the dairyman. The chief characteristic
of the results of study thus far made
has been the finding out Of things that
are not so. The flow of milk can best
be kept up by wise use of succulent
foods. The cream separator has revo-
lutionized our old methods, and it.
would seem as though we could hope
for little more in this line, except a
cheapening of these machines to such
an extent that no dairyman can af-
ford to be without one.
Hogs Destroy Moths.-In this sec
zion, If the orchard is used as a pig
pasture, with an average of say a pig
to each bearing tree, or each tree bear
ing crop, there will be little occa-
sion to fight the codling moth. The
pigs will keep them so well in check
that they are not likely to become a
serious tax. If the number Of pigs is
large in proportion to the crop an APP
pie will scarcely touch the ground un-
til it Is picked up. The writer has Of
ten noticed them making regular
rounds from one bearing tree to an
other, to gather the fallen fruit, or
jumping up to run for it at sound Of
an apple falling. No animal, appar-
emily, is so fond Of tree fruit as pigs,
or so Industrious in picking up the
windfalls, or worm falls. The fruit is
helpful to the pigs and the pigs are
. helpful to the orchard.-Ex.
Superphosphate. In natural or un-
treated phosphates the phosphoric acid
is insoluble in water and not readily
available to plants. Superphosphate is
prepared from these by grinding and
treating with sulphuric acid, which
makes the phosphoric acid more avail
able to plants. Superb are
sometimes called acid phosphates. Am
nominated superphosphate is the trade
name for a mixture Of a superphos-
phate with some material supplying
nitrogen.
There are many soils in which lime
