Seed Corn Selection.

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 ears, all
OF the same variety. The seed of these
were planted, each ear in a row by it.
self, and thinned to three stalks In
hili, 30 that each ear had the same
chance as its nelghbor. One ear out Of
the twenty-four yielded at the rate of
LA bushels per acre, another 112 and
third 104 bushels, while other ears
made ffty-five, sixU-hve and seventy
seven bushels per acre. The row that
made the smallest yield had ffty-eiSht
barren stalks. The row next to the
highest had fifteen barren stalks, and
the row that made slxty-nve bushels
had ffty-two barren stalks The ears
were all Of equal appearance and Of
equal terminating quality. The re-
suits show very plainly that what we
have been for years insisting upon, that
the breeding Of corn in the field, the
removal Of disturbing influences about
It and the working toward an ideal
plant a. whole, a plant Of productive
character rather than big ears, are all
of Tar moro importance than the selec-
ton Of nne ears by the score card
without any knowledge Of the breeding
OF the corn. Selection Of the largest
ears tends toward single production,
for 1t 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 1t has also
been shown that a stalk with two or
moro medium-sized ears Of corn will
make more corn than a stalk with one
big ear. In q test made for the yield
Of grain, one sample was from a 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 shelled increased ex-
actly with tho 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.

"This summer I got go very bad I

Il IS the business,of the kidneys to re-
move from the blood all poisonous mater
ials. They must be active all the time,
else the system suffers. There are
times when they need little assist
ance.
Pe1una is exactly the sort Of a reme-
dy. 1t has saved many people from
disaster by rendering the kidneys SER
vice at a time when they were not able
TO bear their own burdens.

Horse Breeding.

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 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.

There is more loss storing potatoes
than in storing any other crop. Barring
all waste from rot, there Is q heavy
shrinkage, both in quantity and weight.
A bin holding 100 bushels will show a
shrinkage Of nearly one-tenth, besides a
greater loss in weight. A bushel basket
full that will weigh fully sixty pounds
in October, when taken from the soil,
will not weigh SO much after being
stored in the cellar during the winter.
The shrinkage in weight is much less
when kept in pits closely covered with
earth, for there is then less chance for
evaporation.

Grazing ON Rye.

The practice Of turning cows on
young rye In the fall is a good one, but
when the ground Is very wet damage
may result. Grazing the rye causes 1t
to stool, and the young rye provides
late green food; but while the rye field
may be used for cows In the fall, they
should not be turned on too early in
the spring. 1t does not do so much
harm for cows to change from grass to
rye, as 1t does from dry food in the
spring to young rye.

Strawberries.

Strawberries.
The strawberry propagates itself in
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
Lave given as their opinion that II 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, 30 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 be
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, 1t 10 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

vest and early In the spring. Potted
plants are runners that are grown in
