II husked before the corn is fairly well

much food stored up. and consequently
their vitality will be weakened. Ex-
periments have proved that corn al
lowed to fully mature on the stalk
gives the best results.
If gathered before 1t is fully matured
corn Is difficult to preserve. When
dried in a warm place it is liable to
sprout, and unless there is a good cir

The most critical time in the han
ding OF seed corn Is the first month
after IL has been husked. 1t is unwise
to store II in barrels, boxes Or over

will gather moisture. One-third Of the

place seed corn on the floor or on a
shelf, as the lack of a free circulation
of air will often cause the corn on the
under side of the ear 10 become moldy.
1t is good practice To place the corn On
q rack. The strips should be as narrow
as practicable to allow admission of
air from below. In case a corn rack is
not used it is good practice to hang up
the corn OF to place il upon some
boards over the corn in the crib where
there will be a free circulation of air
until such time as there is danger from
severe freezing. If it is then not com

Apple Storage.

Apple storage is not always profita-
Die 1t Is an insurance against the pre-
mature deterioration of the fruit, but
when the picking season is unusually
hot and there are delays in getting the
fruit into storage the subsequent losses
are sometimes very heavy. On the 9TH
err hand, the autumn may be unusually
cool and favorable for storing large
quantities OF apples in common storage.
As a result the markets are well sup
piled with this fruit through the win
Ter, causing the cold storage stock to be
held back till late in the season, when
II has to be rushed on the market and
sold at a sacrifice on account OF the
approaching warm weather and the
free use of southern early fruits.
