CARE OF SEED CORN.
The Drying Out Process Must Be
Managed Carefully.

Seed corn as brought in from the
field has a high content of moisture.
IT, in the attempt to dry 1t out quick
ly artificial heat is used, with little or
no attention given to ventilation, the
chances are that the germ will start
to grow. Artificial heat is dangerous
at this stage. The important things
are ventilation, a dry atmosphere and
a moderate temperature. Corn sus-
pended from wire in a well-venti-
lated shed, granary or dwelling house
attic, in such a way that there is free
circulation Of air around each ear, is
. very favorably situated. Windows
should be closed during nights and
rainy days, but open the rest of the
time.
If the fall be dry and hard freezing
weather does not come until seed is
well dried out, 1t will go through the
winter nicely, in such quarters. If the
weather be damp and winter sets in
early, 1t should have the benefit of ar
tificial heat. A chamber or attic
through which a stovepipe passes will
answer, furnace ROOM III uly cell
lar is very satisfactory. We have
found long bushel boxes about one
foot wide, with one-quarter inch wire
netting for sides and top, very desir.
able storage for corn which has first
been handled as above until it is fairly
dry. Such mouse proof boxes afford
much ventilation and may be stored
in dry furnace room, or in moder
ately warm attic with safety, as win
ter sets in.
Experiments have shown that corn
which is thoroughly dry will not be
injured by any degree of cold. This
while interesting, is not as comfort
ing as it would appear to be for the
reason that some confusion may re
suit in deciding when corn is thor
oughly dry, and further, corn once dry
does not necessarily mean always
dry. If left subject to a moisture
laden atmosphere it will very likely
take up enough moisture to render
liable to injury from severe freezing

realize his possible happiness as the
Puritan lover, he had the twentieth
century quickness of comprehension
and in the seconds flash before he
gathered his Priscilla into his arms
he weighed the nights loss against
the nights gain, and the burden rolled
from his heart, leaving Joy to reign
there, along with a zest for the tasks

Legal Flaw Discovered in Contract for

Harrisburg, Pa, April A legal
technically by which the state may
recover at least $2o00,000 of the So
100000 expended for furnishing the
new capitol has been unearthed by the
senate committee. When the $2,O00,000
contract for metal furnishings was let
to the Pennsylvania Construction com

said. only by Auditor General e. B.
Hardenbergh and State Treasurer
Frank G. Harris. According to law,
it was necessary also 10 have the gov
ernor's signature to the award for the
work. According to the law such a
contract is null and void without the
| three signatures. Governor Stone, il
is said, was not even present at the
consultation between the favored com
pany and his subordinates. The con
tract was let without his knowledge
and despite his protest.
