From L.eSlieiS Weekly: n valuable
use of what is HOW almost a waste
product has been suggested by Pro
fessOr II. w. Wiley, Of The depart
meut of agriculture. He believes
that the stalks Of sweet cOrn might

quality. They contain much more
ISugar than those Of the common field
corn, and the sugar content is al its
maximum at the Time when the ears
are pulled. Sugar, of course, is readi-

much as each 100 phInds of stalks
will yield six and a half pounds of alb

that ON acre will yield from ten to
Twelve tons of grain stalks, or about
10000 pounds, and you have a guam

Or 2l6 gallons. Alcohol at the pres

Selecting and Caring tor Seed
Corn.

For The Leader:
The question of selecting and caring
for seed corn, is now engaging the
attention of the live farmer, and a
few suggestions ON the subject may
be of interest. Avoid iafge ears, as
they are likely to mature late, and
not be of as vigorous growth as small
Ter ears. Take the best mattired
well formed and filled ears OF any
TYPE, before cold weather. But you
are not ready to select your seed ii
YOU have no place TO car for ii, for
as important as Ii is TO select the
right ears, 1t is of as much or more
Importance &c are for it after YOU
have gathered il. Many words and
much time is wasted in an effort to
lind q good place TO store or care for
lit. Some say the garret, others over
tile kitchen stove or in the gEanary.
GOOD seed may, and doubtless has
been saved in these places, and ii is
also true that good seed has been
spoiled in these places, because The
requirements on The seed germ is not
met. What Z these fequiFenentss
First, that all the moisture be dried
out of the cob and grains, as soon as
possible after gathering, and secoud
1 that ei..e ears he kept frum absorbing
moisture, Which Ii will readily do in
almost any house, or II exposed 70 The
changes of the out door weather.
Changes from MUST to dry with ffeeE-
ing and tlsawing will spoil the best OF
corn. In short, dry ouJ your eofn
we'll and keep it dry and you will
have good seed. But ii YOU do not do
this, no matter how good your seed
was in che fall. lit will be worthless
as seed in the spriag. True, IL may
grow, but SO will cosn that Laws out in
held all winter, but YOU would
not use 1t for seed. This article is
written in Che interest OF seed corn
with great Dig 5, and moi in the
interest OF corn that will only grow,
or the old practice of planting such
seed. Next week We will have some
thing 10 say ia regard 10 testing seed
