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 ears, all
OF the same variety. The seed Of these
were planted, each ear in row by it
self, and thinned to three stalks in a
hill, SO that each ear had the same
chance as its neighbor. One ear out OF
the twenty -four yielded at the rate of
ia bushels per acre, another H. and
a third 104 bushels. while other ears
made fifty-fvc, siXty-five and seventy
seven bushels per acre. The row that
made the smallest yield had tifty-eght
barren stalks The row next to the
highest had fifteen barren stalks, and
the row that made sixty-fve bushels
had fifty-twO barren stalks. The ears
were all Of equal appearance and Of
equal terminating quality. The re
suits show very plainly that what we
the breeding of corn in the field, the
removal Of disturbing influences about
it. and the working toward an ideal
plant as a whole. Il plant of productive
character rather than big ears, are all
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 toward Single-earp production,
for it is 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 stalk with one
big ear. In a test made for the yield
of grain, one sample was from sin
gle-eared plant, one from twO-eared
one, one from a three-eared one and
one from a fOur-eared one. and the
quantity Of corn shelIed 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

BELL FROM THE SEA.
Saved from Wreck-Now Announces
News of Overdue Ships.

Probably very few people are aware
that an old ships bell which for many
Years has lain under the sea is suspend
ed in the underwriting room at Lloyd's
and Is used to announce" the arrival or
other news received i'll respect of over
due ships.
This is the bell of the frlgate Iutine.
wrecked long ago off the Dutch coast.
After being under the water for years
the bell was Salvaged and now strangely
enough, is employed to inform under
writers that something has been heard of
one of those ships which 10y their pro
tracted passage are causing uncasiueSS.
Not every ship that is on the over
due market is announced in this manner.
1t is only when an underwater has eX-
pressed to the committee his desire for
immediate information in respect to this
or that overdue vessel that the note of
the old black bell rings through the
rooms.
At the present time there are eleven
ships down on the list for announcement
by the Lutine bell. but some of these
are 50 hopeleSSly overdue that it is prac-
tically certain nothing further will hc
heard of them. The big steel bark Al
sterniXe. for instance. heads the list She
was formerly the British ship Lord Tenn
plemore. and was built at Belfast in
1892. This ship has not been heard of
since last November when she sailed

Strawberries.

The strawberry propagates itself III
two ways-by runners and by seed. Ii
the runners are kept from roofing, the
vine will make an effort TO reproduce
itself from seed production of berries)
in the spring, and some horticulturists
have given as their opinion that if the
vines are not allowed to throw out run
ners in the summer there will be no
loss of vitality by the old plants, and
the matter intended to be 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
Oughly 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 rs much as possible.
Moisture is always beneficial TO straw
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
ed, will enable the plants to begin anew
in the 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 a
mulch until early in the spring. Fer
tilizer is applied both just after har-
vest and early in the spring. Potted
plants are runners that are grown in
pots, close to the parent plants, each
runner being separated from its parent
when it is we'll rooted in the pot. 1t
is transpIanted from the pot to the
open ground.

Coal Ashes.

In one ton of ashes from bituminous
coal are s pounds OF potash, 8 pounds
Of phosphoric acid, 5 pounds of lime
and large proportion of waste mat
ter. Coal ashes are said to be about
equal to clay. and are nearly of the
same composition. They possess little
or no value as a fertilizer, but serve
to assist light, sandy soils to retain
moisture. answering the same purpose
as clay. The percentage of potash and
phosphoric acid contained is TOO small
in quantity to pay for hauling and
spreading coal ashes on the ground as

Horse Breeding.

To a careful observer it is clear that
horses are now better classified than
formerly. Thus the horse that is best
adapted to road purposes is placed at
such work. and the horse that is suited
best to the pillow and 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.

Potatoes for Planting,

In digging potatoes, known to be
pure seed and of the same variety, fire.
quent variations may often be noticed
Some of these are due only TO differ
cnces of soil, but others are true
sports and will reproduce their kind
if planted another year. If these
sports are usually productive and
valuable they should be carefully
saved for planting. In this way some
of the best varieties of potatoes have
been originated. one or two kinds of
