whole ear. The kernels should be as
nearly uniform in size as possible, to
insure good, even stand; they should
be wedged shaped.

very often lowers the vitality of the
seed, but if 1t is thoroughly cured and
kept dry no injury is likely to take
place. We have found it a very salts.
factory method to string the corn and
tie 1T up in the barn, provided it is
well covered. In the spring, before
planting time, every ear should be
tested, especially when there is any
doubt as to it's vitality. We have box
fixed for this purpose; it is four feet
long by three feet wide by six inches
deep. We have bored holes through
the sides two inches from the bottom
and 21s inches apart; through these
holes we have stretched fine wire,
both lengthways and crossways, thus
dividing the box into 2h-inch squares.
AT one end these rows of squares are
num5ered; along one side the squares
IN each row are numbered. When
ready to test the corn, we get enough
moist, rich dirt to fill the box up even
with the wire; next we number the
ears to be tested. For example, the
first ear is marked ear one, row one;
the next, ear two, row one. When we
have enough for the first row, the
first ear in the second row is marked
ear one, row two, and so on. When
the ears are all numbered, take four
or five grains from different parts of
each ear and plant them in the square
with the corresponding number. In
this box we can test about 275 ears at
one time. OF course, the box can be
larger or smaller, as the case may de
mand.

ton; also any stalks in the rest of the
rows that are imperfect to a marked
degree in any way should be detas
seled.
All the seemingly good ears from
good stalks, in good position on the
stalk, should be gathered from the de.
tasseled rows. Out of all these ears
first pick out the best ones for next
years breeding plot. From that re.
naming the best ears can be selected
for next seasons seed corn for the

In regard to the type Of ear to Sc.
lect for seed the following points are
essential: The main object in view ia

about ten inches in length and ~
inches in circumference. Both ends
should be well filled out with large
kernels. The rows of kernels. az Wen
as the kernels themselves, should be
closely pressed together, in order that
the ear will be compact and solid.
Each ear can ben readily tested for
weight by weighing the entire ear

NOISY AFRICAN NATIVES.

Laughter Seldom Heard In the Uproar
Sounds Of Tontoms and Big Shells.
Among the African natives there
can be nothing done without noise,
according to William B. Clarke of
Pittsburg, Pa, who has travelled ex.
tensively in Africa.
1T is simply appalling, the rush.
the roar, the chatter and the hustle,
like Bedlam let loose,' Mr.. Clark said.
''The principal object Of conversation
is said to be money, and the hubbub,
bawling and uproar in all sorts Of
tones from shrill and screaming to
gruff and growing, accompanied by
all sorts of gesticulations with tongue,
head and feet, are beyond description.
1T is rather odd, but laughter is
almost never heard in this uproar;
and, as for whistling, it is lost art.
If there are any quarrels they are not
to be heard in public, although when
a company Of natives get to carry on
an animated conversation it appears
to the observer as if the next act
would be melee.
I'm addition to these natural
sounds there are others of an arti-
fetal character that are equally ia
miliar to the traveller. Such is the
noise of the drums called tomtoms,
which are beaten on every occasion.

Prize VIM ing Ears.

In obtaining seed corn from places
at a distance It is always best to &C.
cure it in the ear, because in this
form it can be picked over, Judged
and all ears that are not suited for
planting may be thrown aside, while
If 1t is shelled no such selection can
be made.
The selection Of seed corn by the
farmer from his own crop is generally
accomplished in one of three ways:
First, by picking out the seed after
the corn has been cribbed; second, by
selecting the best ears while gather
ing, and third, by going into the field
before harvesting time and selecting
the most desirable ears. OF these
three ways my experience has shown
the last to be the best, because a bet
ter selection can be made when that
Is the only aim in view and when the
entire plant, and not simply the ear,
can be considered. Whatever the
method, more seed than is really need
I ed should be selected, in order that
second wedding out" of the poor
est ears just before planting may still
leave enough good seed.
On our farm we have tried still
another method for obtaining the best
seed corn-namely, to grow it in a
special plot of ground. We used the
following method: Take any number
of selected ears-say SO, for example
and plant them in SO separate
parallel rows, one ear to the row.
This makes it necessary for the plot
of ground to be at least so corn rows
wide, and it should be long enough for
the planting of about two-thirds of an
ear in each row. If possible, this
ground should be as far removed from
other fields of corn as can be, to pre-.
vent outside pollination. To further
protect from foreign pollen we have
found it a good plan to take the re-
naming one-third of the selected corn
and use it to plant border around
the breeding plot. Before the pollen
natures every alternate row is detas.
seled, to prevent self or close pollina.

MAKING MONEY
"a RAISING SKUNKS
How the Animals Are Bred and
Why their Breeding Profitable.

Skunk farming is becoming an i'm.
portant industry in some parts of the
United States, and yet the man who
suggested it was regarded as mentally
unsound. To-day there are hundreds
of such farms on a paying basis.
The average skunk produces a
quart of oil and the fur or skin always
brings good price, fashion regu-
lating the value. At the present time
the skins which are the most valuable
are the darker ones. A pure black
skin is worth from s1.25 to $3.50, &C.
cording to the quality and size; a
striped skunk skin brings in the mar.
ket about so or 60 cents, while those
with part stripe are worth in the
neighborhood of a dollar.
1t has been figured out that a man
who understands skunk farming can
begin on 20 skunks, Is females and
five males, and in few years he can
have healthy bank account. It is
not difficult to calculate how rapidly
these 20 skunks will increase in mum.
Der. Say you begin work early in the
fall and that in December they breed.
At once you have an increase of 120
skunks, putting the average of each
litter at eight. In June they breed
again, and if the same ratio of in.
crease be kept up, at the expiration
of year and half you will have
1896 skunks.
Put the pelts at one dollar each, the
pelts Of 200 male skunks would bring
5000; the oil at so cents an ounce
would be worth $500. Then figuring
as was done on the increase in
skunks, at the expiration of a year
and half you could kill 300 male
skunks, the pelts of which would be
worth that many dollars.
The amount Of oil gathered from
this number would be $4,000 ounces.
worth just $14,S00. At the expiration
of four years you would have killed
100000 males, the pelts of which
would be worth $1.S90,000 and the oil.
$4,000 ounces. worth $3.50, 900.
And you would still have 100000
skunks left!
1t is not surprising that skunk
farming is being taken up throughout
the country, and If it was possible to
deodorize the skunk the industry
would be even more popular.
