Barren CornstaIIzs.

In husking corn in the field every OBJ
servant grower must have noticed
many barren stalks, says the Breeders
Gazette, Chicago. These drones, or
deadheadS, are to be found on every
corn farm. 1t is paltry board that they
pay. Some fields contain large per-
centage of unfruitful stalks. By actual
count growers in different sections
have found an average of from ten to
thirty-fve of them per hundred. That
means a serious decrease in the yield
Of grain. Moreover, this barrenness is
probably transmitted to future seed
through the pollen borne by the stalks.
This at least is a well supported theory
held by many students of the corn
plant. Earless stalks are the progeny
of poor seed. aided by an unfavorable
soil or season and by faulty cultivation.
Inferior seed is perhaps the principal
cause. Seed selected from CONNER
cial fields rather than from a breeding
plot is almost sure to produce a large
number of barren stalks. Such seed to
large extent is potentially barren.
The tendency to barrenness is one of
its inbred characteristics. Experience
shows that this trait can be practical
ly eliminated by careful breeding in
plots. Study the plot system and adopt
it next season. 1t will lead to a marked
decrease in barren stalks

CROSS SECTION OF ICE HOUSE.

we always put in one layer, then fit it
as closely together as possible. Then
we shave over the upper surface of all
the cakes with carpenters ADJ.
The shavings of ice were swept into
the crevices between the cakes. When
freezing cold a little water was sprin-
kled over the whole surface to ce-
ment the layer solidly together. As
each layer is completed the sawdust
should be filled in around the sides
level with the top and solidly tamped
down. Allow no sawdust to remain
on top of any layer of ice while filling.
Fig. 2 shows the sixth layer in and
ready for the sawdust. Ice is preserved
by being packed away from the air.
AS hot weather comes on the ice will
settle some. Be sure to keep the saw
dust tamped down around the sides
frequently during early summer, and
see that no air holes form, advises a
writer in Hoard's Dairyman.
when the ice is packed in, cover
with ten to fifteen inches of sawdust.
Leave the gables open more or less to
allow free circulation of air over the
ice. Remember there will be some
waste during the hot summer months,
no matter how much pains are taken,
and this would be true in the more
costly ice houses.

Checking Rot In Potatoes.

A thoroughly satisfactory treatment
for checking rot in potatoes is yet to be
found. What has proved best in my
experience is, first, keeping the storage
cellar at a temperature as near 80 to
38 degrees as possible; second, sorting
the potatoes after they have completed
their sweat in case any Indication of
wet rot is shown to prevent the rot
spreading from the decaying tubers to
the sound ones. Dry rot is very rarely
If at all transmitted from one potato to
another, according to writer in Or
ange Judd Farmer.
If the potatoes are left in pits in tie
field to sweat prior to putting them in
the cellar they will usually show rot
that may be in them when they are
taken from the pit. Potatoes which
are nearly clean of dirt usually show
more rapid spread Of the wet rot than
do potatoes which are covered with a
considerable coating of fhry soil. Posi-
bly, the reason for this may be the fact
that the dry soil is not a good medium
for passage of the rot from one potato
to another.

satisfactory.
For many years hundreds OF farm
ers have gone without ice during the
long, hot summers because they sup
posed it would cost considerable mon
ey and time TO secure and preserve
the concealed fluid But at very little
expense an ice house can be construct
ed that,will hold and keep well all the
ice needed for any farmers family.
For several years we used a small
cheap ice house that kept the ice as
we'll as a more costly building con-
structed over twenty years previously.
Some have an idea they must ferego
the luxury of ice on account of eX-
pense, when almost any kind of
shed will preserve the ice very we'll,
provided it is properly packed.
Our last ice house was a cheaply
constructed shed that took less than
days work in its construction. We
used white oak poles set into the
ground about two feet. Some cheap
hardwood bill stuff of by 4 and 9
by pieces were used for plates, nail
ties, braces and rafters. A fair grade
of pine stock boards twelve inches
wide were used for siding. The sid
ing was nailed on the inside of the
poles horizontally the better to resist
lateral pressure from the packed ice
and sawdust. A better grade of stock
board one foot wide furnished a good
roof Such a board roof should be
made quite steep to shed water. The
Kerfs cut on each edge of the roof
boards make the roof practically wa
ter tight. Fifteen inches should be
left between the ice cakes and the
walls, as shown in the cut Locate
the ice house where good natural
drainage may be secured. Tile may be
laid to secure more adequate drainage
if needed
Cut the cakes so as to break joints,
