Seed Corn Selection.

That pretty ears are not always The
best seed corn has been shown by the
experiments at the Ohio Station. They
selected twenty-four extra fine cars, al
Of the same variety. The seed of these
We're planted, each ear in a row by it
self, and Trimmed TO three stalks in Il
hill, so that each ear had the same
chance as it's ~ncighhor. One ear out of
the twenty-fQur yielded at the rate ot
ia bushels per acre, another III and
a third 1O4 bushels. while other ears
made 1ifty-five, siXty-tive and seventy
seven bushels per acre. The row that
made the smallest yield had tifty-eiGht
barren stalks. The row next 10 the
highest had fifteen barren stalks. and
the row that made siNtY-fivc bushels
had ffty-tWo barren stalks. The EARS
were ali 0f equal appearance ANA q
equal terminating quality. The re-
suits show very plainly that what we
have boon for years insisting upon. that
the breeding Of corn i'll the field, the
removal of disturbing influences about
it. and the working toward IN Ideal
plant as Il whole. Il plant of productive
character rainier ttlal DIG ears, are aIl
of far more Importance than the seiec-
ton of fine ears by the score card
without any knowledge Of the breeding
of the corn. Selection of the largest
ears tends neutrality-suspicious.
for it is a law of nature that when we
increase the size Of the individual fruit
of any plant we will decrease the num-
Der Of fruits, and when we Increase
the number we decrease the size of
the individual fruits. But it has also
been shown that a stalk with two or
more medium-siZed ears Of corn will
make more corn than 4 stalk with one
big ear. In q test made for the yield
Of grain, II sample was frOm>a sin
glc-cared plant, II from a twO-oared
one. one from n thTee-eared II and
one from q four-eared one, and the
quantity of corn sheIled Increased eX-
actly with the number of ears on the
plant. The breeding in the field to
breed out barren stalks is the essential
matter in developing the productive
character OF the corn, and the best
ears are merely relative and not by
any means the largest.

the runners are kept from roofing, the

itself from seed CpTUduction Of berriesl
in the spring. and some horticulturlsts
have given ais their opinion that If the
vines are not allowed to throw out run
ECrs in the summer there will be no
loss of vitality by the old plants, and
the matter intended to b" converted in
to runners will be stored in the plants
and converted into fruit when the
proper time arrives. The first thing to
do after harvesting the crop is to thor
0uehly clean between the rows and
pull out the weeds between the plants
in the rows, 50 as to give the beds the
benefit of the hoe as much as possible.
Moisture is always beneficial to straw
berry plants, and the ground should he
worked deep at first and then kept
loose on the surface until late in the
fall. when the vines may be mulched.
Burning the beds should be done when
the ground is frozen. This. it is claim
ell, will enable the plants to begin anew
in tac spring, the old plants being
thereby ~invigorated, the ashes provid-
ing potash. and the seeds Of weeds de
stroyed. Leaves. straw or other ma
terials may be placed over the plants
before winter sets in, to remain as n
mulch until early in the spring. Fer
tilizer is applied both just after har-
vest and early in the spring. Potted
plants are inner that are grown in
pots, close to the parent plants, each

To a careful observer it is clear that
horses are now better classified than
formerly. Thus the horse that is best
adapted to read purposes is placed at
such work, and the horse that is suited
best to the pillow II heavy hauling has
its own proper work assigned. Hence
the advantage of breeding for a pur-
pose. The man who makes the best
success of rearing horses is the one who
clearly understands the situation, and
breeds what is most desirable for his
customers.
