SELECTING SEED CORN.
Pedigree 9 Point at the aIichtGan
Experiment Station.

Experiment Station.
Professor Clinton p. Smith gives
some scientific information In regard
to selecting seed corr In Iowa Home
stead, in which he says
The lesson cannot be impressed too
soon that Won cannot pick out seed
corn BY the appearance of the ears If
corn breeders could come to the Mich
igan Agricultural college and see the
product OF ears to all intents aud pur.
poses alike in form they would receive
some light on this topic.
Cur plan Of corn selection il this (.
let each farmer select dozen or
twenty ears this fall, selecting them
before harvest, and take them from
stalks that suit. Put these ears away
where they will dry thoroughly before
freezing and keep them warm and dry
through the winter, Next spring go to
the windward side Of the cornfield
after It Is thoroughly prepared and
marked. Shell one ear and plant the
first row as far as the ear will plant
It saving perhaps $50 kernels not
planted. Take ear No 2 aud plant IL
In row No. 2, and SO on until the whole
number Of ears for seed have been
planted. Cultivate the field as usual
Next fall harvest each row separately
and save the seed corn from the row
giving the largest yield This seed
corn win be partly cross bred. In case
the farmer 10 willing to do it let him
remove the tassel from each alternate
row and save the seed from the detas-
seized row, thus insuring harvest free
from inbred ears.
Where he finds two rows alike in
most respects and conforming TO his
ideal, let him note the ears which fur
nigh the seed for those two rows. Then
the next spring let him plant the small
amount OF seed he mas saved from
those two ears side by side in field
away from his cornheld If possible. de-
tasseling each alternate bill or de-
tasseling all the stalks growing from
one of the ears, thus insiring cross fer
tilization and strong seed. These de-
tasseled hills so selected should fur
nish him his best seed, but until this
shall have increased enough TO furnish
him the desired quantity let him save
his seed from the best row OF his first
selection. Naturally at the colleges
we go further and keep selecting a
dozen OF the best ears from each row
and plant them separately. an ear to
the row, saving the best ears from the
best rows In this way we insure i'm
provement because we know the pedi-
gree.
In conclusion, 1t is the duty Of the
agricultural press and the stations to
warn farmers against selecting corn
by the sole standard Of the pretty ear
which wins the prize at the fair. Such
selection is q delusion and snare

A Boatman's Story

was Oft the seashore during the
summer. Being passionately fond Of
sailing aud not being sailor myself,
hired a superannuated fisherman to
sail me. One afternoon as we were
eaving the dock woman not quite
lrrived at middle age came down lead
nc little boy and had some private
conversation with my sailor. noticed
that he spoke to her very gently. even
affectionately, and patted her son on
his curly head. There was something
in the appearance OF the woman that
interested me. Either she had expert
enced some deep grief or had commit
ted some sin for which she could. not
forgive herself. But of all this my
conceptions were vague. While talk
ing to the old man there was shad-
ow on her face. but on turning away
her lips parted in a happy smile.

Washington, Oct. 1.-THE isthmian
canal commissions recently evolved
scheme Of having the actual work Of
Panama canal construction done by con-
tact with private concern has been
made public. The plan Ia complex, al

waterway through The isthmus Of Pan
anna Under the new arrangement the
work can be accomplished cheaper and
quicker.
The greatest reason for the change,
although there are many, Is found in
the labor problem This has vexed the
commission more than anything else
Labor for the lower forms Of work has
been difficult to procure, although many
experiments have been made, and the
efforts Of the commission to take to
the isthmus men capable OF directing
the common laborers In an efficient
fashion and TO perform other duties Of
a higher nature have brought equally
unsatisfactory results. In the case OF
private contractor, or at least with
one Of the character and resources which
the commission will require, the matter
Of labor will be not only taken off the
hands Of the government, but the prob
lem will be more easily solved BY this
contractor, who will already have at
his command tre,nendous working
force OF tens Of thousands Of men skill
ed in the very class Of work which must
be accomplished in Panama. While the
construction work viii be let out by
contract, the overnment Of the United
States does not relinquish one bit Of
authority or responsibility; instead it
retains much Of the whole task, every
thing, in fact, save the actual construc-
tion. This falls to the contractor, with
the governments engineers supervising.
