THE LOWER EAR OF CORN.
When Used an Seed It Usually Pro-
duces Shorter Cornstalks and
Makes More Corn.

We have often advised the farmers
in the south to select, for a term Of
years, the lower ear on twin-eared
stalk, for the purpose of breeding
down the tall stature Of their corn, 80
that 1t can be planted closer together.
That 1t will have this effect We well
know from long experience. But 1t
seems that some have assumed that
the lower ear is always and anywhere
conducive to greater production. We
believe that this, too, is usually the
case II the work Is continued long
enough to show its effect. for the lower
ear will certainly inherit greater ten
dency to produce an ear above 1t than
the top ear will. Some years ago a
farmer wrote us that he had been fol-
lowing our directions In saving his
seed corn and that his corn was maxi
ing from three to five ears on stalk,
his corn for seed. In the annual
report of the Rhode Island station, the
result of one years selection of the
lower ear as compared with the upper
one, showed result somewhat in favor
OF the upper ear, and from this one test
they have concluded that "the SUPPOSE
ton that to increase the number of ears
one should choose always from the
lower one, because that is the last one
developed, is shown to be erroneous"
Since no one had advised the continu-
GUS selection of the lower ear after tho
ideal plant is secured, the advice is
rather superfiuous. In fact, no one ex-
pertinent can determine the tendency
of any work in plant breeding. We have
found that not less than seven years are
needed to fix the character Of corn as q
strain or race, and after breeding for the
ideal plant we can thus select with
some confidence the ideal ears from these
plants. The Rhode Island report gives
cuts showing the corn from lower and
upper ears, and so far as we can judge
from the cut, the greater luxuriance is
In favor OF the lower ear seed The mis-
take seems to have been in assuming
that what has been advised as a means
OF getting the idal plant is always, and
In any climate, the best for the crop at
once, and that single experiment can
determine the value Of any method OF
plant breeding Breeding to cure de-
fects in the plant for a certain climate

Hints for Horse Breeders.

It Is a mistake to breed from mares
tdat are faulty in wind or form.
Never feed horse more grain than is
readily eaten up clean. Be sure that
the collars are comfortable and At
we'll Horses should be well broken
before pat on the market. Feed a
horse in proportion to its size and the
labor 1t is to perform. As a rule.

Hogs Thrive on Skim-Milk.

The testimony on the value Of skim
milk for hogs as food is convincing.
Hogs when fed milk and grain re-
quired much less dry matter to make
a pound of gain than hogs fed on milk
alone. The average experiments show
100 pounds of milk to be equal 10
about "a pounds of grain. In Colora-
do, experiments showed that hogs fed
on milk and grain gained more than
twice as much per day and required
but little more than half as much dry
matter to each pound of gain as did
the hogs fed IL grain alone. Not only
did the hogs fed ON milk and grain
gain more rapidly, but they grew lar
ger and were in much better condi-
ton. u

| AND he CAUGHT THE JOKE
Although from Wales This Gentle
man Knew Good One" When
He Heard It.

Included In the very distinguished
number of legislators from beyond
seas, recent guests Of the city as men,
bers Of the interparliamentary union,
says the Philadelphia Press, was very
courteous, but very sedate, almost
phlegmatic. gentleman whose monocle
betrayed some part of the tight little
isle, but whose words were so few no
decision between England, Scotland or
Wales could be made.
He was very observant, but equally
unresponsive. AS his carriage entered
I the park on the sight seeing tour, the
wide extent Of the pleasure ground was
suggested to him. He made no reply.
Another effort was made when the
Wissahickon valley was entered. It's
romantic beauty was suggested, the
legends Of the Indian braves and the
mystics were retold. But not a word
from the visitor The task was hope
less. -
Just at the darkest moment his face
became illumined and his lips opened
to speak. Every ear was given him.
"Ah, / see on that coach Bryn Mawr.
It's good Welsh name. am SO
pleased"
The clew was taken advantage Of
and as the carriages rolled on the story
, OF the Welsh tract, at Clynwood, Penn
ryn, Ardmore, was told. At last a
theme of interest sufficient to at least
win attention had been found.
The carriage was now on City Line
bridge and the great iron works above
were in plain view
"What are those works?" he said.
"Pencoyd," was the answer.
"Ah, another dear Welsh nance You
know what 1t means? No? !, 1t means
| the end of the field or the wood"
"Oh, yes, that's So" commented an
unimpressed Yankee, "and that's why
| the works were so named. You see
they make iron bridges there for all
| parts of the world. Well, the iron
bridges mean the end of the wood"
| The Welshman, without pausing for
five minutes, laughed heartily and
splurted out:
