SEED CORN ESSENTIALS.
The Years Success Depends on Hav-
Ing Good Seed ON Hand ut
Planting Time.

There are manyessential points to be
vigorously observed in either selecting
or buying seed corn. In selecting from
ones 'wn fields the earliest ma turing
and mcst perfect cars only should be
saved, and when a variety commences
TO lose its dominant characteristics it
is time to get fresh seed. q In sending
away for seed, buy that grown in near
~ the same latitude as your own, or ii
any change is made go little north in
preference to south. Understand your
fields. Don't plant large cared white
sorts in fields better adapted to medi
UNI size yellow sorts. The first move
ment toward making corn cropis this
matter of correct selection of seed.
The quality of The seed is the next i'm
portant thing. Do not be satisfied with

pay good fair price, and then demand
high-bred seed. Order it from reputa-
bic growers or dealers and always or
der part Of it at least in ear. Then you
are planting with your eyes open
you know what to expect. Prof, Sham
says on this question: "By highly-bred
seed is meant seed that is the very
highest representative Of the i'm
proved type. In other words, those ears
which as nearly rs possible represent
the ideal ear. As every ear is different
from every other ear, there can never
be a large number of such ears. How
ever, this very fact of wide variation
makes the improvement varitics pos
sibse. IT there was no variation from
which selection could be made here

Rotation for Wheat Growers.

As to the best rotation of crops for
a wheat grower, l would suggest the
old rotation of corn, oats, wheat and
clover or corn, soy beans or cowpeas,
wheat and clover with timothy. The
latter rotation | think is the better
one where the farmers can use the
crops, as it is virtually getting two
clover crops in the rotation or every
second crop a lcguminous one. It
must be borne in mind that no system
In which the most of the products Of
the soil are removed from the farm
can continuously preserve the fertil-
lty of the land. Unless the crops are
partially returned to the land by
pasturing or hauling on manure the
clover and beans or peas only form
means of more perfectly draining the
land of its elements of fertility.--H.

SO q Ton for Coal.

Philadelphia, May 22.-In the be-
lief that weeks and possibly months
will elapse before quiet is restored
in the coal regions, retail dealers
here are steadily sending up coal
prices. In fact the standard of prices
. seems thing of the past and deal
ers are selling for the best price Of
fered.
One big retail firm sold 1875 tons
of broken coal at $40 ton, although
the ruling retails rate for this size as
fixed by the dealers, is only 81.
The 81 rate is only figurative,
however The docestic consumer is
able to secure a ton or two at that
figure from his regular dealer, but
if he goes to firm by whom he is
not known he is forced to pay SO.
One big firm is said to have 10000
tons stored at one OF .itssyards and
expects to make a profit of $3.50 a
ton. On this lot alone the firm will
make $50, 900.
Despite the almost prohibitive
prices, the demand for coal is in
creasing rapidly and manufacturers
with contracts to fill are willing to
pay almost anything for anthracite.
Bituminous coal is also in great de-
mand. Since the strike declaration
the prices of this product has gone
up $1.25 a ton here, and in New
York the rate is so cents higher.
Almost fabulous prices are being
offered by hotels and office buildings
for buckwheat coal but the supply
is so nearly depleted that only a
small amount could be obtained,
