From the Practical Farmer.

We have often advised the farmers in
the south to select, for term of years,
the lower ear on twin cared stalk, for the
purpose Of breeding down the tall stature
Of their corn, - thar it can be planted
closer together. That it will have this eff
fest We well know from long experience.
But it seems that some have assumed that
the lower ear Is always and anywhere con
ducive to greater production. We believe
that this, too, is usually the case if the
work Is continued long enough to show its
effect, for the lower ear will certainly in
herit greater tendency TO produce an ear
above it than the top ear will Some years
ago a farmer wrote Us that he had been
following our directions in saving his seed
corn aud that his corn was making from
three to FIVE ears on a stalk, and that his
uei.hbors were all seeking his corn for seed,
In the annual report Of the Rhode Island
station, the result of one years selection
of the lower year 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 suppo-
sition that to increase the number of ears
one should choose always from the lower
one, because that Is the last one developed,
Is shown 90 be erroneous. Since no one
had advised the continuous selection of the
lower ear after the ideal plant is secured,
the advice is rather superfiuous. In fact,
no one experiment can determine the ten
dency of any work in plant breeding. We
have found that not less than seven years
are needed TO fill the character of corn as
a 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 cut:
showing the corn from lower and upper
part, and so far as We can judge from the
cut the greater luxuriance is in favor Of the
lower ear seed. The mistake seems to
have been in assuming that what has been
advised as means of getting the ideal
plant is always, and in any climate the best
for the crop at once, and that a single ex
pertinent can determine the value Of any
method of plant breeding. Breeding tC
cure defects in the plant for certain eli
mate and breeding for continuous produc,
ton differ very materially.

The Arabian Horses Tail.

The way the Arabian horse holds his tail
is looked upon as the finest point of breed
ing. The Arabs believe that the spirit of
God is shown there No man living can
account for the way they do it. 1t equals
the arch of the neck and balances the horse.
Mr., Bailey of Barnum & Bailey circus
tells me that they have tried everything to
get their horses to carry their tails that way.
But the Arabian horse is the only one
that does it.
Another thing about the Arabian horse
is the tremendous width of the jowl.
Nature didn' t intend an ordinary horse
to run far: his windpipe is too small. The
blood runs cold in his veins and he quits

great race horse that choked TO death on

My horse Nejdran, standing III hands

That is where the Arabian horse gets

He is the only horse which, looked at from

has big lungs, meaning great staying

Possibilities in Corn.
From the Implement Age.

We only raise little more than half
good ear Of corn to the hill in the United
States, assuming that a good ear should
weigh pound In some of the best corn
sections the crop equals an ear to the hill,
but there are many states where 1t Is ex-
ceptional to find an ear weighing over half
a pound, and it is a good corn field where
there are as many stalks bearing ears of
half pound or over as there are of stalks
that bear only nubbins or nothing at all.
To anyone who has never Investigated the
matter closely it will be a surprise to count
the number of barren stalks in rowr five
select good seed corn from an average field,
taking only ears that weigh one pound or
over, about so per cent. of the kernels
planted will produce ears as good as or bet
ter than the original From 10 or 20 per
cent, will grow barren stalks, and the
balance will produce all sizes from nubbins
to fair ears.
1t is customary to plant at least three
kernels to the hill, and if we could grow
three good ears on each hill we would have
about $50 bushels to the acre. Here is a
problem for the implement manufacturer
to consider carefully. Next to the selective
breeding of seed, the most important thing
in the production of good corn crop is
the work of the implements and machines
used in preparing the ground and cultivat-
ing the growing crop. There has been a
great improvement in the past 20 years in
the construction of planters, cultivators
and other implements used in the corn
field, and there is room for equally great
progress in the coming generation, espe-
cially in the direction of thoroughness
in cultivation. The corn crop is the most
valuable product of the American conti-
nent, and it would be almost twice as great
if we could only raise the equivalent of one
good ear to the hill. If we could average
two ears to the hill our corn crnp would
exceed the world crop of all other cereals,

OLD MINE OPENING UP.
Winnamuck of Bingham Is Again in
Ranks of Producers.

The Winnamuck mine, work on which
was started some time ago. is more than
exceeding the anticipatOns of the man
aSement, says the Bingham Bulletin.
Ore bodies rich and productive have been
opened up, and each day shows something
which proves that the Winnamuck is one
of the best paying properties in the camp.
Last Saturday carload Of lead and sill
yer ore was shipped to the United States
smetter, and from assays made of the
samples it would prove that the ore
shipped would run high Wednesday an
other car Of the same quality of ore was
shipped, and the company is awaiting the
returns with eagerneSS.
Early I'm the week a very rich body of
galena was opened up. and it is not yet
possible to determine how far it Will ex-
tend The vein is very rich. and the COM
pany expects to take much ore from the
body this year. Development work goes
steadily on, and the mine which has been
lying idle for all these years. will. if all
plans do not miscaTTy. take its place
among the most productive of the dis
