to the farmers throughout the corn
belt of the United States than the
quality of seed corn, says the Florida
AgriculturiSt. The Bureau of Plant
Industry of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture states that in the
northern part of this area special pre-
cautions are always necessary in saw
ing seed on account of the short season
and the consequent difficulty in getting
seed which is fully matured. In a
season like the present these conditions
hold good over a larger area than US
ual.
Most of the corn is in the field at
the present time, and, if not immature,
it at least contains a large percentage,
of moisture. If this moist corn is left
in it's present condition until after cold
weather the freezing will kill large
part of the seed and the planting of
this poor seed will mean thin stand
next year.
Where the seed corn has not already
been obtained, it should be selected at
once. Pick out only thoroughly ma
tured ears, or, if none can be found
that are thoroughly matured, take the
ripest to be had. Husk and put in a
dry, well-ventilated place kept at a
temperature of from IS to 100 degrees
Fahrenheit, and let them remain there
until the SeeQ is thoroughly uIleu anu
cured. After it has been dried it should
be stored where it will remain reason
ably dry and cool. 1t is only when
the seed contain a large percentage of
moisture that the termination is in
Jured by freezing If a little trouble
is taken now in selecting and caring
for next years seed the stand and the
consequent yield will be greatly in
creased.
In all cases seed should be tested
for termination a short time before
planting and only such seed planted
as is found to be in the best con1i-
ton. Seed tests can be made easily
and often more conveniently at home,
but the seed laboratory of the United
States Department of Agriculture, so
far as it's working force will allow,
is prepared to make tests for corn
growers without charge.
Important Points to Be Observed
First. Select fully matured seed, or,
at least, the ripest that can be OBJ
tanned Second. Bring the corn from
the field before freezing weather and
keep it in a warm, dry place, with am
pie ventilation, until thoroughly dried.
Third. Store in a dry, cool place.
Fourth. Test for termination before
planting.

The great success of Mr. Clark of
Connecticut, in growing huge crops of
hay by a thorough preparation of the
soil and heavy fertilization shows that
even hay may be made a profitable
sale crop. One hundred and eleven tons
on less than an acre of land in four
teen years would make a clever income
where hay sells at $40 per ton or more,
as it does in many parts of the East
for more than this in many parts of
the South, where farmers have bet
ter land, more rain and a longer sea-
son than Mr.. Clark. Eight tons of
hay per acre beats many of the most
profitable truck crops, and is q crop
that does not have to be rushed off to
market to prevent its spelling. There
are thousands of acres of soil natur-
ally far better than Mr.. Clark's, that
would break his record in hay if treat
ed the same way. Farmers do not hes
itate to scatter fertilizers on their
crops of wheat, tobacco or cotton, but
when it comes to putting 1000 pounds
of fertilizer per acre on grass it stag
gers them. But the time for intensive
farming has come in the East, and
tie man who studies. how to get the
most cut of an acre will be better off
than the one who tries how many
acres he can skim over-Practical
Farmer.

SHOOTING AFFAIR
NEAR NASHVILLE.

Sparks, Ga, Dec. 12.-Meager details
were received here to-day of a serious
shooting ARRAY which occurred Thurs
day night at John Taylors farm, four
miles this side of Nashville. 1t seems
that Tom Mathis. son of Ancil Mathis,
had some trouble during the night with
a party of men at Taylor's house. and
he was shot down as he was leaving
Taylors. He was shot through the
body and will probably die. After be-
ing shot he remained out in the freez-
ing weather all night. He crawled to
q Mrs. Grifhn's house, a half mile from
Taylor's and was found about day
light. He was nearly exhausted and
frozen when found.
Your correspondent was unable to
learn who did the shooting. One re-
port says Mathis had a gun and was
threatening to open fire on the crowd
at Taylor's house when he was shot.
The parties are all well known here.

perfect lawn is a thing of beauty

RECTOR OF ST. LUKE'S,
Ashburnham, Ontario. Testihes to
the Good Qualities of Chamber
lains Cough Remedy.

Ashhurnham, Ont. April IS. 1903
I think It is only right that l should
tell YOU what a wonderful effect
Chamberlain Cough Remedy has
produced. The day before Easter l
was so distressed with a cold and
cough that l did not think to be able
10 take any duties the next day, as
my voice was almost choked by the
cough. The same day 1 received an
order from you for a bottle of your
Cough Remedy. 1 at once procured a
sample bottle, and took about three
doses of the medicine. To my great
relief the cough and cold had COM
pletely disappeared and l was able
10 preach three times on Easter day.
I know that this rapid and effective
cure was due to your Cough Remedy.
I make this testimonial without solicit
tatiOn, being thankful to have found
such a God-sent remedy. Respect
fully yours
