KEEP THE CELLAR cool.
How to Manage When the Apples
Have Been Stored.

After the apples are in the cellar
that place should be kept as cold as ii
is possible to keep it without reducing
the temperature below the freez-
ing point. With a little care the win
dows of the cellar can be SO adjusted
as. to let the cold air pour in during
all the night and then shut the cellar
and keep in the air during the day.
Even if the temperature outside OF
the cellar is below freezing, the ad
justment of the cellar windows can be
such that the volume of inf1owing
cold air can be only enough to keep
down the general temperature to be
low 40 degrees. This is low enough
for several varieties of apples. In
fact, few quite soft varieties seem
to keep better near 40 than near 80
though the data on this point are not
yet extensive.
Tie barrels in which the apples are
stored should be headed and kept in
a dry part of the cellar. Many farm
ers leave. their barrels of apples un
headed, with the result that the all
is constantly drawing the moisture
out of the apples. This is now recog
nized as detrimental to the long keep
ing of the apples.

MEANING OF GOOD CORN.
Much Depends Upon the Selection OF
the Best Seed.

In profitable production of corn the
farmers of Minnesota sections are
largely concerned. A maximum yield
means much, especially when it is the
aast few bushels that makes the great
est profit 1t takes about all of the
average yield to pay the cost of rails
ing the crop. The total cost of grow
ing and harvesting an acre of corn
- between $40 and SIS. 1t therefore
ordinarily takes from 20 to 40, or 40
Bushels at the average price to cover
the cost of production.
The yield of corn depends, first,
upon the fertility of the soil; second,
method of tillage and cultivation;
third, character of seed corn; fourth,
weather conditions. Three of these
conditions farmers can control. Char
acter of seed is the most important
factor of ALL
One ten-ounce ear per hill will give
yield of % bushels per acre; two
fen-ounce ears Sc bushels, and three
81 bushels. The average yield of corn
IN Minnesota is about 80 bushels per
acre. We are growing about one
third Of perfect stand. The success
full corn grower can control the stand
Of corn, and with nearly perfect
stand" can secure SO to rs bushels of
corn per acre with average methods
, Of cultivation. The stand of corn de-
ponds upon the quality of seed corn.
One of the most desirable places from
which to get seed corn for any farm
a. from the field of corn grown on the
farm. Select at husking time a few
Of the best ears as they are found
on good stalks, and place them in a
, basket or sack If it is desired to
get variety to ripen earlier, go
through the field before all the corn
is ripe and select good ears that ripen
first. This will probably reduce the
size of the corn, but it will make it
earlier. As shown by the above fig
ures, large ears of corn are not nee
essary to get a large Yield. "A good
yield depends on good stand of
stalks that will bear ripe ears.
When seed corn is selected in the
fall, it should be placed where it will
dry out quickly, where it cannot heat
and where it will not freeze. The
attic over kitchen is a very good
place for seed corn. Every corn grow
er should have his aim set for 100
bushels per acre.

PRUNING SHRUBS.
Judgment in the Work is an Essential
Factor.

No two shrubs or varieties of shrubs
should be pruned in the same man
ner. One important object in prun-
ing is to keep down the growth of
superfiuous wood Another is to keep
the shrub in such shape that it will
be. attractive In old times, 1t was
thought that pruning should be in
the direction of the artificial, and
shrubs Of all varieties were trimmed
in the same general manner. The re-
suit was mass of shrubs all trimmed
in about the same general manner.
cordance with what is now considered
good taste in landscape gardening,
and the natural tendency of the
shrubs is now considered Every
shrub has it's own habit of growth,
and this should be encouraged. 1t is
not desirable to have one variety of
shrubs look like another variety of
entirely different nature. of growth.
Shrubs should be pruned little each
year rather than a great deal in any
one year. The cutting off of com
paratively large branches is as detri-
mental to a shrub as the cutting off
of big limb is to tree The prun-
ing should be so given that the shrub
will become more graceful from year
to year. This means taste on the
part of the primer. This is a limi
tation that cannot be escaped. If the
primer has not that indefinite thing
we call good taste, his pruning work
will not be good, but for this fault
there is no remedy, unless it be the
securing of a primer that has taste.

EertiIize Literally.

Orchards should be fertilized liber
ally in order to keep UP the fertility OF
the SOIL Mineral as well as vegetable
fertilization is necessary because a
crop of apples removes much more
potash from the soil than does. wheat
It. requires large quantities of both
vegetable and, mineral matters to pro
duce trees. Unleached wood ashes are
excellent and if potash is used in the
muriate form from 200 to 800 pounds
to the acre should be sown broadcast
among the trees.
