Selecting Seed Corn.

My father practiced selecting
has seed corn at huskiny time.
His first rule was to choose the
upper ear on 4 stalk having two
or more good plump ears. A
few VI the inner huslls we're left
on the car TO mark it for saving,
when putting the corn in the
crib. When all the seed was
collected, the ears were braided
into large bundles and hung up
to dry, out of the reach of mice
or rats. The second rule of Sc.
lection was more useful than the
first. He chose only the ears
set close to the stalks, having a
short footstallI aud small or
medium sized shank at the end
of the cob. Such ears husk cas-.
lily, as the cob breaks close to
the corn and the husks cling to
the footstallI and rot to the ear
when husking.
Following these directions we
always saved large supply of
seed corn, and the type of ears
and corn and ear-setting be.
came noted and uniform. MANY
hills of corn having two stalks
would yield three ears each,
and where there were three or
tour stalks in hill often all
but one of them had two ears
each. Prolific bearing was the
rule. And this was clearly pro-
duced by constant, persistent
sele ction following one line. At
the same time the ears were set
close to the stalks so that the
weight of grain was balanced.
Thus storms would not 50 read.
lily tangle and twist the crop, or
carry it down to the ground.
l know of farmers today who
have been saving their seed on
another line for many years.
They choose the longest ears to
De found, without any regard to
the stalks or footstall1s. The
result has been to establish a
type of corn with one long ear
growing on Il long footstallz, at
taChed to the main stalk low
down, often close to the ground.
so that when cutting the corn
the footSta Tx is cut and the ear
IS thus separated from the stalk.
and has to be picked up and put
in the stout. And when the
ears are not thus cut off they
hang down and drop to the
ground and become watersoalIcd
or rot by the time OF husking.
These long dropping ears often
bear down SO heavily that the
stalks are carried TO the ground
early in the season and cannot
fully mature the crop.-Coun,

TO BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS
COMMITTEE RE-REFERS Gull
MER-JENNINGS MATTER.
Meeting Held Last Night at Which
It Was Decided That Council
Could Not Act Just Yet.

The city council committee on mu-
nicipal laws held a meeting last evening
for the purpose of deciding whether the
Culmer-Jennings Paving company
should receive the final payment of
$4,000 on its paving contract. 1t was
discovered that the city engineer and
board of public works had not finally
passed upon the acceptance or rejec-
ton of the work. as it is their duty to
do, and the committee decided to rec
ommend that no action be taken by the
council until these officials have passed
upon the subject.
All the members of the committee
were on hand last night. Judge Howat
was there. representing the contractors
and City Engineer Kelsey appeared for
the board of public works. The attor-
ney and the engineer INDUCED in a
caustic conversational argument over
the merits of the controversy. Judge
Howat charged Mr.. Kelsey with being
unreasonably technical, and the en-
gineer replied that he proposed to make
the Culmer-Jennings company live ex
actly up to the terms of its contract.
BY way of sustaining his position,
Mr.. Kelsey introduced and had read
two letters. One was from the board
of public works. notifying the contrac-
tors that they were not making the paw
ing repairs then in progress properly.
The other was from the engineer, stat
ing that he would not make final esti-
mates unless the work was changed to
conform to his ideas.

WHITE BEsTS LYONS.
Wins 120-pound Championship at
Dubuque.

Dubuque Athletic Club, Dubuque, Ia,
Aug. 30.-Tommy White got the decis-
ion over Harry Lyons (colored) of Chi
cago at the end of a twenty-round bout
here tonight. They fought for the 1876
pound championship. Lyons put up a
good fight. but began to weaken in the
last round. and White landed almost
at will. Neither man appeared to pos
sess much power. They Rugged con-
tinually, from start to finish. Hitting
with one arm free was allowed, and
they Oummeled each other every time
they clinched. The decision did not
meet with the entire approval of the
spectators, owing to the great show
ing Lyons made in the first fifteen
rounds.
In the preliminary bout between Jack
Lewis and Charlie Kenney for the
lightweight championship of the west,
Lewis was all but out several times. In
the seventh he was going, and Kenney
nwas given the decision and the entire
purse on Referee Silers decision that
Lewis deliberately fouled in order to
save himself from a knockout
