Selecting Seed Corn.

The corn crop is the most important

the corn is hard and before there is q
hard frost and select the best ears that
are well filled. Take Off the husks ex-
cept enough to tie the ears together on
9 wire in dry place. When the corn
is thoroughly dried l put it in a room
where there are no mice or rats and
rick 1t the same as cord wood, then no
amount of freezing will hurt it. al.
ways smoke the corn just before plant
ing, using corncobs, fine chips or old
leather, and sometimes pnt little pine
tar on the fire. This is to prevent squir-
rels and mice from digging the seed up
after it isplanted.
Always she'll off the tips and butts
and use tile rest Of the ear; this is to
make the kernels OF uniform size. /
never plant more corn than I have help
to attend to and do 1t right-say 40
acres to each team. never plow in
the fall except sod ground. Plant be-
tween May 10 and 90 as shallow as pos.
sible and see that all seed is covered.
When the season is dry 1 plant deeper.
l seed rather heavily, planting three or
four kernels in hill. l always test the

The nomination Of w. N. Birdsall, of

Last week Mr.. Bryan and George Z.
Wellington, republican United States
Senator for Maryland, opened the
democratic campaign at Cumberland
IN Mr.. Wellington's state.
Senator Wellington spoke from the
same platform with Mr.. Bryan and lost
no time in announcing his determination
to support Mr.. Bryan at the coming
election. He said in part:
II am here tonight to reiterate the
conviction voiced in the senate, and
to record my opposition to the prInci-
pies of President Mckinley as evidenc-
ed in bis foreign policy, and with all
the vehemence of q positive nature to
protest against the violation of the
principles upon which our government
is founded; against the desecration of
the constitution and reversal of the
policy which has given us century
and quarter of national life, such as
the history of man hath not rec orded In
any age OF cline.
am here tonight to declare my un.
alterable antagonism to the policy Of
imperialism and my opposition to the
representative of that vicious princl.
\ pie. It is an occasion of more than
ordinary importance for any man tc
antagonize the political party which
he served for quarter of a century;
to which he has given the best year,
of his life and for which he has achiev
ed some success. 1t brings much bit
terness and vituperation. The vials Of
wrath have already been opened upon
me and there will be much that is un
pleasant in the work which have t.

William Dudley Foulke, of Indiana,
has signalized his coming to the sup.
port of the administrations imperial
policy by declaring in a public speech
that "the statement found in the
declaration of Independence that all
men are created equal is not true. Tbs
statement that all governments derive
their just powers from the consent of
the governed is not true and never
has been." Sentiments like that are
now 30 frequently spoken in the de-

Corn Harvesting by Mach,ner,


Corn is the giant grass. Until this
is appreciated to its full extent Amer.
lean agriculture will be wasteful. I'm
told wealth has been lost by the farm.
ers of the United States on account Of
the ignorance of this fact or their in
difference toit. When corn is treated
as a grass when the stalk as well as the
ear is harvested and utilized, this most
most beneficent of all crops, this luxur-
liant yielder of all grasses known to the
temperate zone, will pour its added
millions of dollars into the pockets of
American farmers. Suppose man
should use header In his timothy or
his clover meadow, harvesting only the
seeds and leaving the stalks to wither
and bleach on the field; would not the
appointment by the court .of con.
servator be demandedp But wherein
would such wasteful farmer differ
from the man who picks the seeds (the
ears) from his meadow of corn grass
and leaves the stalks to wastep Corn is
the giant grass. This fact should be
thundered continuously into the ears of
the American farmers.
But not all the kings horses and all
the kings men could have brought our
farmers to utilization of all the corn
crop If inventive genius had not pro-
duced the corn harvester and the husk-
er and the shredder. There are not
men enough on the farms in the corn
belt to harvest that crop by hand. 1t

by its use millions of tons of valuable
feel may be saved. 1t is no longer an
experiment. The testimony presented
In recent Issue from men who have
used corn harvesters for years should
convince the most sceptical. The
corn harvester is as much of success
as the self binder for small grain; more
than that cannot be said.
When "the frost is on the pumpkin
and the folders in the shock, the next
problem Is the thorough utilization OF
this wonderful yield of animal food.
This is impossible without the fodder
