Save Money, Says John ID.

Cleveland, Oct. 18.-John D. Rock
efeller's advice to boys, as told in the
Euclid Baptist Sunday School, is
Save your money don't squander
it."
Speaking about boys" he said,
''it will not be long before many of
you will leave school and 90 out into
the world to engage in the battle OF
life. You will work and in return
you will receive money. Take my
advice and pay part of it to your par
ents as board. AS to the remainder
use your own judgment in handling
that. There are many nice things
you may want to buy. If they are
necessary, buy them, but do not
squander your money; save it."

The Selection and Care of Seed
Corn.

10TH.
There is no more important factor
concerned in the production of large
Yields of corn than the proper selec-
ton and care of the seed. The mat
ter of selecting seed ears of desirable
quality is Just as important to the
farmer who is growing his own seed
as is the selection of animals for
breeding purposes. The varieties of
corn which we now have, have been
developed by careful selection; but
too often there is little or no attention
given to this matter by our farmers.
If man can spare the time, the
best method of selecting seed corn, is
to allow il to become thoroughly
ripened on the stalk and then select it
from the field before the corn is pick
ed. There is considerable advantage
to be gained in being able to examine
the stalk from which an ear of corn
comes. In this way a man can select
ears only from those stalks which
have the normal amount OF room and
which have the ears at the proper
height. Frequently good ears as we
pick them from the cribs are simply
due to the fact that the stalk on which
they grew was the only one in the
hill and therefore had a much better
chance than the average. What we
want is good ear produced on stalks
which have only an average chance
and which are good because Of some
hereditary cause. Such ears will be
more productive than those selected
from isolated stalks. =.
The next best way to select seed
corn is to select the good ears as the
corn is being picked and throw these
in a box on the wagon separate from
the main load. This is the common
method of those who give reasonable
care in seed corn selection. But in
whatever way these selections are
made, a considerably larger amount
of corn should be thus selected than
is necessary for seed, so it will then
be possible to reselect before storing
them for the winter.
This selected corn should be spread
in thin layer on some convenient
floor space and allowed to dry out
quickly. Some men provide rough
racks in which to store this corn to
favor its rapid drying. Cold weather
has little effect on dry corn. II the
corn is not thoroughly dry when
heavy freezing comes, it is almost in
variably injured in termination and
the strength of termination OF corn
has great deal more to do with the
yield than is commonly supposed.
There are a number of ways in
which corn can be stored so as to
keep it dry and of strong germina-
ton during the winter, such as, hang
ing up by the husks or on wires or
storing in racks as has been mention
ed. Where a man has an attic or
vacant room in the house, it is fire.
quently good plan to use that for
seed corn storage.
The method of artificially drying
seed corn is not Of much importance
in Missouri where the falls are usual
ly long, but ifa storage place can be
found where the temperature does
not run much below freezing, this is
desirable. The important point in
the whole matter of storage is to get
the corn dry quickly and keep it dry.
If this is done, the termination is al
most sure to be good.-M. F. Miller,

Station.
